With sacred Oyl thou didst anoint David whom thou hadst found He 's girt with strength for saving-work His Head with Glory crown'd Mercies through him are kept for us And Promises are sure His Sacred Seed and Sov'reign Throne For ever shall endure 30 31 32 33 34. But if his Seed transgress the Laws And Statutes of their God Then wilt thou visit their offence With a correcting Rod.

Hymn L. For the same occasion Psal. 145.1 2 9.
suffice to the management of this duty decently and in order and more there needs not for in private Families the quickest way of singing seems to be most agreeable such singing as the Great Athanasius appointed in the Church of Alexandria ut pronunciani vicinior esset quà m canenti more like reading than singing So Austin tells us Confess lib. 10. cap. 33. and approves of it as a good means to preserve that spiritual delight which should be in this Ordinance from degenerating into a sensitive pleasure which it is apt to do when Tunes and Notes are over-much study'd and affected and the Ear tickled with them Nor let any be afraid that their Neighbours should over-hear them We serve à Master that we have no reason to be asham'd of to whom we have engaged that whatever others do we and our houses will serve him and whose hold is so great of the Consciences even of bad men that those whose contempt and reproach you fear even of them perhaps you will be had in honour 2 Sam. 6.22 Nay your Light hereby may so shine before men that others may be brought to glorifie your Father which is in Heaven Mat. 5.16 If any make it an excuse that they are unready in finding out such Psalms or passages in the Psalms as are most proper for Family use such may perhaps receive some help from this small Collection It is taken out of David's Psalms and further we seldom need to go for Hymns and Spiritual Songs though other Scriptures may no doubt be us'd this way much to edification Nolite cantare nisi quod legit is esse cantandum is a good Rule which Austin gives Epist. 109. This Collection will be the more useful and it is what I chiefly aim at in it if every one in the Family have a Book so that the Psalm or Hymn for the distinction is but nominal may be sung without reading the Line betwixt which is the general practice of the Reformed Churches abroad and renders the duty more pleasant and profitable and takes up less time and is practicable enough in a Family if not in large Congregations The gathering of Verses out of several Psalms and putting them together may seem to be a violation of their own native coherence But I hope it will not give offence to any since it is no more so than the joyning of several passages of Scriptures remote from each other and putting them together in our Prayers and Sermons which is generally practis'd Besides that it is a liberty which is often taken by the Clarks that give out the Psalms in publick And I think those who dislike it not there will the rather allow it in private Families Nay I am in hâ—pes that the reference I have made all along to the Psalms and Verses will increase and lead to an acquaintance with the Book of Psalms in general which I would not that this Essay should at all lessen or supersede I have made use of the best approved Translations especially Mr. Patrick's and Mr. Barton's as likewise Bishop King's Mr. Smith's Dr. Ford's and Mr. Baxter's who have each of them labour'd well in this Province nor have I neglected the Old Translation which considering the Age in which it was done and that it broke the Ice is not such a contemptible piece us some love to represent it I have taken that out of each which I judg'd the best and most suitable to my purpose acting herein not as a Censor but as a Gleaner Books are known to have their Fate ad captum Lectoris and therefore I hope my pardon for making this use of the Labours of others will be easily granted and this general Acknowledgment will suffice to acquit me from the Charge of Plagiarism I have not varied at any time from my Authors meerly for variation sake yet throughout I have seen cause very often to alter and in many places to build a-new especially where I was willing to contract according to the best of my skill The performance indeed is but very small yet the Design is honest and it will be fruit abounding to a good account if it do but help forward the work of singing Psalms in which the will of God is done on Earth somewhat like as it is done in Heaven where singing Hallelujahs to him that sits upon the Throne and unto the Lamb is both the everlasting work and the everlasting felicity of those glorified Beings M. H. Jan. 14 1694 5 For Morning Worship Hymn 1. Psal. 57.7 8. MY heart is now prepar'd for praise 'T is fixed for the same And I will sing to thee O Lord And bless thy Holy Name Awake my Glory Lute and Harp Consorts of praise to make Now in the morning I my self Will to this work awake 19.1 2 3 4 5 6. The Heavens throughout their vast extent Declare their Maker's praise The glittering starry Firmament His handy-work displayes Day unto day doth celebrate and night to night proclaim Without the help of speech or tongue His universal Fame There doth the Sun with joy and strength His constant course compleat The Earth rejoyceth in his Light And in his quick'ning Heat 90.17 So Let the Lord shine on our Souls Lighten and warm us thus Prosper O God our handy-works And stablish them to us Hymn II. 118.15 3.5 THE voice of saving Health and Joy In Just 〈◊〉 dwellings is The Lord 's right-hand works powerfully That strong right hand of his I laid me down and sweetly slept And safely wak'd again Because it was the Lord that kept And did my Soul sustain 31.21 30.5 Blessed be God's most sacred Name Who hath such wonders shown Wonders of Love securing me As in a fenced Town His wrath is in a moment past Life from his favour springs Though weeping for a night may last The morning comfort brings 33.20 21 22. Therefore we wait for thee O Lord Who still art our defence In all Estates we trust in thee With chearful confidence Lord let thy Grace on us descend Like a refreshing showre For all our Hopes and Joys depend On thine Almighty Power Hymn III. Psal. 74.16 17. THE shining day and shady night Peculiarly are thine Thou hast O Lord prepar'd the Light And caus'd the Sun to shine The Earth with all its Ends and Coasts Thy mighty hand did â—ame Both Summer's heat and Winter's frost By thine appointment came 33.6 7. 119.91 By thy Great Word the Heav'ns were made And all their Hosts are thine The gathered Waters of the Sea Thou dost in bounds confine According to thine Ord'nance these Continue to this day For all are Servants unto thee And do thy Word obey Rev. 4.11 Psal. 124.8 Glory and Honour must O Lord To thee of right be paid For all these things are by thy power And for thy pleasure made And our continual Hope and Help In his Great Name doth stand Who did create both Heav'n and Earth By his Almighty hand Hymn IV. Psal. 121.1
