A47361	An answer to Mr. Marlow's Appendix Wherein his arguments to prove that singing of psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, was performed in the primitive church by a special or an extraordinary gift, and therefore not to be practised in these days, are examined, and clearly detected. Also some reflections on what he speaks on the word hymnos, hymnos: and on his undue quotations of divers learned men. By a learned hand. By B. Keach.	Keach, Benjamin, 1640-1704.	1691 (1691)	Wing K43A; ESTC R223737	27,870	57

it_o be_v so_o full_a of_o teach_v to_o other_o that_o what_o some_o pious_a woman_n have_v speak_v in_o the_o church_n upon_o this_o account_n god_n have_v bless_v to_o the_o conversion_n of_o

or_o she_o that_o read_v the_o scripture_n may_v be_v say_v in_o some_o sense_n to_o teach_v there_o be_v much_o teach_n in_o it_o yet_o sure_a a_o woman_n may_v be_v suffer_v to_o do_v this_o as_o
