Let the word of CHRIST dwell in you richly in all wisdome teaching and admonishing one another in Psalms and Hymns and Spiritual Songs c. EDINBVRGH Printed by David Lindsay Mr. James Kniblo Josua van Solingen and John Colmar Anno Dom. M. D.C.LXXXIII The PRIVILEDGE FOR AS MUCH as Mr. William Geddes late Minister at Urquhart having made ane humble addresse to his Majesties Privy Council Representing that he hath been at great care pains diligence and expences in compiling the Books following and which are now in the Press viz. Memoriale Historicum and the Saincts Recreation and these other Books Which he intends for the Press viz. Geographical and Arithmetical Memorials Memoriale Hebraicun for facilitating the Hebrew Language Vocabularium Latino-Hebraicum in Hexameter Verse and Familiae Famigeratae and humbly desiring that he might have a Priviledge for Printing the Books by himself his Heits Executors or Assigneys for some years and that he might be Recommended for his Encouragement and Assistance to all Persons of Ingenuity and Generosity for promoving and perfecting such ane Work THE LORDS of His Majesties Privy Council having heard and considered the foresaid Addresse and Representation with the report of a committè of their own number that the said Books are worthy to be Published and will be very useful and conducive to the advancing of Piety and Learning Do therefore Recommend the said Mr. William Geddes his printed Advertisement of the saids Treatises to all His Majesties good Subjects for his Encouragement and Assistance in the said Work as their generosity and ingenuity shall prompt them And further do hereby give and grant to the said Mr. William Geddes the sole and only Priviledge of Printing the foresaid Treatises compiled by him for the space of Nineteen years after the date hereof Discharging all others to print re-print import or vent the same during that space without the said Mr. William Geddes his own or the consent of his Heirs Executors or Assigneys under the pain of Confiscation thereof to his and their use Ordaining these Presents to be printed and prefixed to the said Books respective that none pretend Ignorane Extr by me Edinburgh the fifteenth day of March 1683. WILL. PATERSON Cls. Sti Con. An Apology for the Authors delay WHeras many generous persons have advanced before hand the price of the Books mentioned in the Authors advertisement and they may possibly admire that they have not received these Books long ago according to the Authors promise I humbly plead at those generous persons hands that they may have the author excused For as no man can promise absolutely for his own life or health so much as for ane houre so not for the constant progress of a press and the Author used all diligence imaginable yet Ultra posse non est esse And as the best of works meet ordinarly with the most and greatest obstructions be reason of Satans and his Instruments malice So hath his pious and worthy designe been obstructed several wayes which are not altogether pertinent to be divulged Therefore I hope that discreet and intelligent persons will have so much humanity and ingenuity as to consider that such promises must be alwayes understood to be conditional implying such reservations as these IF GOD WILL IF HEALTH-SERVE c. I humbly intreat also that you read this Book deliberatly and seriously comparing it with the Authors design mentioned in his Preface before you passe a rash or harsh censure upon it In this Giddy Notional age there is much imaginary supposed knowledge but too little conscience Many new coyn'd words and high slown Notions but few Spiritual Meditations and Religious practises which are most suteable to those who keep a closs constant Heart-communion with GOD walking alwayes as in the view of Heaven and Hell Death and Iudgement And I suppose such hes been the Spiritual frame of the Author at the compiling of this treatise It is probable that some Men of preposterous tempers at the first sight of the Book not finding it stuffed with fruitles curiosities may presently nauseat and disdaine But read I pray you consideratly and you shall find it wants not Christian acutenes And be pleased but to have a little patience till the Authors other Book called Memoriale Historicum come to your hands which I hope shall be shortly and you shall find there some pleasant curiosities both for recreation and edification which may serve to exercise with delight the Fansy Iudgement and Memory A summary VIEW of the Substance and Method of the Book IN this little Treatise the first Part or Song describes a Sinners conversion bringing him thorow the pangs of the New-Birth and that partly by the Information of the Word by the Inspiration of the Spirit by Conviction of Conscience or Correction of Chastening Rods The first part I say shewes how CHRIST Converts and Reclaims a straying Sinner by some of these Means or by all Page 1. 2. The second Part or Song revives a fainting Soul struggling with the Pangs of the New-Birth or latly delivered from the Spirit of Bondage and that by Spiritual Cordials of Comfortable Promises P. 8. 3.
