Christendom from the beginning, especially in respect to psalms, is well to every one yea, St. Paul doth also appoint the same (i Cor xiv.) and command the Colossians, in the third chapter, to sing spiritual songs and psalms from the heart unto the Lord, that thereby the word of God and Christian doctrine be in every way furthered and practised. Accordingly, to make a good beginning and to encourage others who can do it better, I have myself, with some others, put together a few hymns, in order to bring into fll play the blessed Gospel, which by God's grace hath again risen that we may boast, as Moses doth in his song (Exodus xv.) that Christ is become cur praise and our song, and that, whether we sing or speak, we may not know anything save Christ our Saviour, as St. Paul saith (i Cor. ii.). These songs have been set in four parts, for no other reason than because I wished to provide our young people (who both will and ought to be instructed in music and other sciences) with something whereby they might rid themselves of amorous and carnal songs, and in their stead learn something wholesome, and so apply themselves to what is good with pleasure, as becometh the young. Beside this, I am not of opinion that all sciences should be beaten down and made to cease by the Gospel, as some fanatics pretend but I would fain see all the arts, and music in particular, used in the service of Him who hath given and

Sing to the Lord a new song-; sing to the Lord, all the earth." The Service of God in the old dispensation, under the law of Moses, was hard and wearisome. Many and divers sacrifices had men to ofFer, of all that they possessed, both in house and in field, which the people, being idle and covas the prophet Malachi etous, did grudgingly or for some temporal advantage '* who would shut the doors for is there even that saith, chap. i., among you naught ? neither do ye kindle fires on my altars for naught." But where there is such an idle and grudging heart there can be no singing, or at least no singing of anything good. Cheerful and merry must we be in heart and mind, when we, would sing. Therefore hath God suffered such idle and grudging service to
