judicum_fw-la first_o we_o must_v take_v heed_n that_o in_o music_n be_v not_o put_v the_o whole_a sum_n and_o effect_n of_o godliness_n and_o of_o the_o worship_v of_o god_n which_o among_o the_o

that_o it_o do_v not_o for_o the_o same_o cause_n reprove_v other_o church_n which_o use_v sing_v and_o music_n or_o else_o exclude_v they_o from_o the_o fellowship_n of_o christ_n yet_o this_o aught_o to_o be_v consider_v that_o if_o we_o shall_v perceive_v that_o christian_n people_n do_v run_v unto_o the_o church_n as_o to_o a_o stage_n play_v where_o they_o may_v be_v delight_v with_o
