THE CANTICLES OR Song of Solomon PARAPHRASED AND Explained by divers others Texts of Scriptures very useful By the Learned Reverend and Faithful Minister of Christ Mr. Arthur Hildersham of Ashby-Delazouch As also the same together with the two Songs of Moses and the Song of Deborah Collected into Meeter LONDON Printed by T. Milbourn for Robert Clavel in Cross-key Court in Little Britain 1672. READER THose Scriptures 1 Cor. 14 15. I will sing with the Spirit and I will sing with the understanding also Eph. 5. 18 19. Be filled with the Spirit speaking to your selves in Psalms and Hymns and spiritual Songs singing and making Melody in your hearts to the Lord. Col. 3. 16.

Is any merry let him sing Psalms do not only direct and teach us the true manner and end of singing Psalms Hymns and spiritual Songs but do also I think prove the singing of them to be a duty and warrant the collecting of them into such Meeter and Tunes as is most suitable to us for that purpose Those which are here presented upon this account are the Song of Moses Exod. 15. The Song of Moses Deut. 32. The Song of Deborah Iudg. 5. And the Song of Songs which was Solomons to which because the Song of Solomon is very mystical and the Meeter here presented is not intended for a Paraphrase but a Translation and that it will be hard at least for ordinary capacites in singing especially the Song of Solomon to sing with understanding without some plain exposition of it I have made bold to annex a Paraphrase being one that was composed by that Reverend and Learned Minister of Christ Mr. Arthur Hildersham as I had it transcribed out of his own by a faithful hand which is the rather to be recommended because it is short plain exemplified with several quotations of Scripture and accommodated to the present Translation of the Bible This excellent Author left also a Paraphrase upon the whole Bible out of which this was taken if the publishing of this might provoke or be an occasion of the publishing of the rest I should be glad however I have commuicated what I had which hoping it may be much to thy satisfaction and advantage I leave with thee and rest A PARAPHRASE UPON THE Canticles or Song of Solomon Illustrated with several Cotations of very many other Scriptures very Useful c.
