B04474	Prelimited forms of praising God, vocally sung by all the church together, proved to be no gospel ordinance. In a sober discourse concerning singing. With a large appendix thereunto added, containing several things not treated of before; and wherein the case of singing is more fully opened and discussed in divers principal branches of it: greatly tending to the clearing and confirmation of the truth discoursed of in the former part. / By Isaac Marlow.

old-testament-name_n give_v to_o new-testament-singing_a do_v no_o more_o prove_v either_o the_o matter_n or_o manner_n to_o be_v the_o same_o nor_o establish_v old-testament-singing_a in_o the_o
