THE
BAY PSALM BOOK
Being a Facsimile Reprint
of the
First Edition^ Printed by Stephen Daye
At Cambridge, in New England
in 1640

PREPARED FOR

Introduction

THE first edition of the Bay Psalm Book, or New
England version of the Psalms, printed by Stephen
Daye at Cambridge, Massachusetts, in 1640, has
the distinction of being the first book printed in English
America. When the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth in 1620, and
founded the first permanent colony in New England, they
brought with them Henry Ainsworth's version of the
Psalms in prose and metre, with the printed tunes. ^ This
version was used in the church at Plymouth until 1692.
Elsewhere, the Puritan colonists of the Massachusetts Bay,
coming over in 1629 and 1630, sang the words and tunes
of Sternhold and Hopkins's Psalms, which for many years
had been published with the ordinary editions of the Eng
lish Bible.2
1 The first edition of Ainsworth's version has the following title : —
The Book of Psalmes : Englished both in prose and metre. With anno
tations, opening the luords and sentences, by conference 'with other scrip
tures. By H. A. [With the music] Amsterdam: Giles Thorp, i6iz.
348 pp. 40. (British Museum.) Reprinted in metre in 1618 (Lenox),
in metre in 1642 (Prince collection in Boston Public Library), in prose
and metre in 1644 (British Museum, Lenox), in metre in 1644 (Trinity
College at Cambridge), and probably later.
^ The Geneva Bible of 1569 was probably the first to have this
version bound with it. The usual title is : — The Whole Booke of
Psalmes .- collected into English meeter by T. Sternhold, J. Hopkins, and
others . . . nvith apt notes to sing them nvithall. More than two
hundred editions between the years 1569 and 1640 are described in
the British Museum Catalogue, and it was printed and appears to have
been in use as late as 1841.

Introduction
The translation by Sternhold and Hopkins, however,
was not acceptable to many of the nonconformists. Some
of the extremists in England even called it " Hopkins his
Jigges " and " Genevah Jiggs." Cotton Mather in his
Magnalla sets forth the opinion held of it by the Puritans
of the Bay Colony in the following words : — " Tho' they
blessed God for the Religious Endeavours of them who
translated the Psalms into the Meetre usually annex'd at
the End of the Bible, yet they beheld in the Translation
so many Detractions from. Additions to, and Variations of,
not only the Text, but the very Sense of the Psalmist, that
it was an Offence unto them."
The desire for a translation which would express more
exactly the meaning of the original Hebrew led to the
undertaking of a new version, not long after the year 1636,
in which " the chief Divines in the Country, took each of
them a Portion to be Translated." Just what portions
were done by each one of the " thirty pious and learned
Ministers" then in New England, or how many others
aided in the work, we have no means to determine. It is
related by John Josselyn,^ that when he visited Boston on
July nth, 1638, he dehvered to Mr. Cotton the Teacher
of Boston church, " from Mr. Francis Quarles the poet,
the Translation of the 16, 25, 51, 88, 113, and 137.
Psalms into English Meeter, for his approbation." It is
possible that some of these contributions of Mr. Quarles
were incorporated in the new version.
The principal part of the work, we are told, was com
mitted to Mr. Richard Mather, minister of the church in
Dorchester, who probably wrote the preface also,^ and to
Mr. Thomas Welde and Mr. John Eliot, associate minis
ters of the church in Roxbury. " These, like the rest,"
says Cotton Mather, "were of so different a Genius for
1 Account of Tiuo Voyages to NeiJj England (London, 1674),
pp. 19, iO.
"^ A rough manuscript draft of the preface, in Richard Mather's
handwriting, is among the Prince MSS. in the Boston Public Library.

Introduction
their Poetry, that Mr. Shepard of Cambridge, on the Occa
sion addressed them to this Purpose.
" You Roxb'ry Poets, keep clear of the Crime,
Of missing to give us very good Rhime.
And you of Dorchester, your Verses lengthen.
But with the Texts own Words, you will them strengthen. "
It is unnecessary to repeat here the criticisms of Professor
Tyler and others on the " hopelessly unpoetical character "
of this version. Dr. William Everett aptly remarks that
the fault lay largely in the excess of reverence for the sub
ject ; and he calls attention to the fact that John Milton
attempted to turn nine of the Psalms into English verse,
adhering as closely as possible to the original, with a result
as harsh and dry as anything in the Bay Psalm book.^
In the meantime a printing press had been brought over
to Massachusetts, while the new Psalm Book was prepar
ing. It was mainly through the efforts of the Rev. Joseph
or Josse Glover, formerly rector of Sutton, in Surrey, that
this was accomplished. He raised funds in England and
in Holland, contributed largely himself, procured the press,
types, and paper, and engaged the printer, Stephen Daye,
under contract dated June 7, 1638. Sailing with their
respective families, and with three men servants to help
the printer, the party arrived in New England, probably in
September, 1638; excepting, however, Mr. Glover, who
" fell sick of a feaver and dyed," either on the voyage or
just before they started.
In March, 1639, according to Winthrop, the printing
house was begun at Cambridge, the first things printed
being the FreemarCs Oath., probably on a single sheet, and
an Almanack made for New England by Mr. William
Peirce, mariner. Neither of these publications is known
to be extant.

(Newton, 1896), p. 75. [viij

Introduction
The next thing printed was the Psalmes newly turned
into metre, which was finished at the press in 1640, in an
edition of seventeen hundred copies. It thus " had the
Honour," according to Thomas Prince, " of being the First
Book Printed in North America."
From a deposition made by Stephen Daye in 1655, in
the suit brought by Glover's heirs against Henry Dunster,
president of Harvard College, we learn that the cost of
printing the seventeen hundred copies was ;£^33, that one
hundred and sixteen reams of paper were used, valued at
£2^)., that the book was sold at twenty pence per copy,
and that the total receipts from sales were estimated at
;£'i4i 13J. 4</., leaving a profit of £"]<) ly. \d.
The new Psalm Book was adopted at once by nearly
every congregation in the Colony of Massachusetts Bay,
and for that reason it came to be known as the " Bay "
Psalm Book. A revised and enlarged edition, under the
title of The Psalms Hymns and Spiritual Songs of the Old and
New Testament., was printed at Cambridge in 165 1, in an
edition of two thousand copies, and in this form it ran
through many editions in New England, the latest being
"The Twenty-seventh Edition," printed at Boston in
1762. The churches of Salem and Ipswich did not formally
adopt the new Psalm Book until 1667, in which year the
Salem church decided that " the Bay psalm book should be
made use of together with Ainsworth's." In Plymouth
Colony the use of Ainsworth was continued as before
until 1692, when the church there also agreed "to sing
the psalms now used in our neighbor churches in the
Bay." Even in England, as Thomas Prince remarks, the book
was " by some eminent Congregations prefer'd to all
Others in their Publick Worship." Reprinted there first
in 1647, and in the revised form in 1652, it ran through
more than twenty English editions, the latest bearing the
date of 1754. In Scotland, too, at a later period, the book
C viii ]

Introduction
was used in the Presbyterian churches to some extent, half
a dozen Scotch editions appearing between the years 1732
and 1759. These English and Scotch editions were usually
bound with Bibles of octavo size, and in that form many
of them were imported for use in New England.
After being used for upwards of a century, and running
through more than fifty editions, the Bay Psalm Book gave
way to the newer versions of Tate and Brady and of Isaac
Watts. Among others, the church in Dedham voted for
the change in 1751 ; the New North Church in Boston, in
1755; the church in Ipswich, before 1757; the First
Church in Roxbury, in 1758; and the First Church in
Boston, in 1761. In 1755, the Rev. Thomas Prince,
minister of the Old South Church in Boston, began a new
revision of the Bay Psalm Book, which was finished by
him and adopted by his congregation in 1757, the book
being published in 1758, and in a second edition in 1773.
But in 1786 the Old South Church followed in the way of
the others, and gave up Mr. Prince's Revision for Watts's
Psalms and Hymns.
Ten copies of the first edition of the Bay Psalm Book
are known to be extant. Five of these copies were at one
time in the possession of Rev. Thomas Prince, as part of
his " New England Library," and by him were bequeathed
in 1758, with his other books, to the Old South Church in
Boston, " to be kept and remain in their Public Library for
ever." After remaining in the steeple chamber of the
church for nearly one hundred years,^ three of these Psalm
Books, between the years 1850 and i860, passed into
the hands of Mr. Edward A. Crowninshield of Boston,
Nathaniel B. ShurtlefF, M.D., of Boston, and Mr. George
Livermore of Cambridge. According to a memorandum
made by Dr. Justin Winsor, in August, 1871, for knowl-
1 See Catalogue of the Library of Re'v. Thomas Prince (Boston,
1846), pp. 10, 19, 41 (a copies), and 104, for brief entries of the five
copies.

Introduction
edge of which I am indebted to Mr. Edmund M. Barton,
librarian of the American Antiquarian Society at Worcester,
the volumes were transferred to these gentlemen by the late
Lt. Governor Samuel T. Armstrong, who had joint cus
tody of the Prince Library as one of the deacons of the
Old South Church. " He surrendered the copies to these
private hands in consideration of certain modern books
given to said library, and of the modern binding bestowed
on one or more of the copies now remaining in said
Prince Library." The record of the ten copies is as
follows : —
(i) John Carter Brown Library, Providence, R. I.
Perfect, but with a small portion of the blank margin of
the title-page and the lower blank margin of the leaf
of errata cut out ; in the original old calf binding, re-
backed. Size of leaf, six inches and seven-eighths by
four inches and one-half. It was first owned by Richard
Mather, one of the translators, whose autograph signature
is in several places on the fly leaves and covers. From
the Mather family it passed to the Rev. Thomas Prince,
the bookplate of whose "New England Library" is pasted
on the back of the title. By Prince it was bequeathed to
the Old South Church, in his will dated October 2, 1758,
"and from that time till i860, the book remained in the
custody of the deacons and pastors of that church. In
that year it was given by the church, through the proper
agents, to the late Nathaniel Bradstreet ShurtlefF, M.D."
On Dr. Shurtleff's death his library was offered for sale
at auction by Leonard & Co., Boston, November 30 to
December 2, 1875, but the Psalm Book was withdrawn
because the deacons of the Old South Church obtained an
injunction to prevent its sale. After a hearing before the
Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts, the injunction was
dissolved and the book adjudged to belong to Dr. Shurtleff's
estate. It was therefore advertised again, in a four-page cir
cular, to be sold at auction, on October 12, 1876, by Joseph
Leonard; and it was sold for ^^1025, to Mr. Sidney S.

Introduction
Rider of Providence, from whom it was bought by Mr.
Caleb Fiske Harris. After the death of Mr. Harris,
who was drowned in October, 1881, his collection was
placed for sale in Mr. Rider's hands, and he sold the
Psalm Books of 1640 and 1647 ^'^ ^^^ Brown Library,
^1500 being given for them together with books worth
considerable more. See Catalogue of the Library of Dr.
N. B. Shurtleff (1875,) no. 1356; Catalogue of Books

(2) Mrs. Alice Gwynne Vanderbilt, New York.
Perfect. It is one of the five copies bequeathed by
Thomas Prince in 1758 to the Old South Church, from
whose collection it passed by exchange, between the years
1850 and i860, to Mr. Edward A. Crowninshield, as
related above. In the catalogue of Mr. Crowninshield's
library, announced to be sold at auction by Leonard &
Co., Boston, in November, 1859, ^^ book is described
as " in the original old vellum binding." The whole
library, however, was withdrawn and sold at private sale
for ;^ 1 0,000 to Mr. Heniy Stevens, who took it to Lon
don, where the Psalm Book was offered to the British
Museum for .£^150. Its purchase not being aJDproved,
the book was withdrawn by Mr. Stevens, and after being
rebound by F. Bedford in "dark brown crushed levant
morocco," was sold in 1868 to Mr. George Brinley of
Hartford, for 150 guineas. At the Brinley sale in March,
1879, it was bought for the late Mr. Cornelius Vander
bilt for ^1200. The statements in the Memorial History
of Boston., vol. I (1880), and in the Catalogue of the John
Carter Brown Library, part 2 (1882), that this copy was
destroyed in a warehouse fire in New York, not long after
its purchase by Mr. Vanderbilt, are both incorrect. Mrs.
Vanderbilt writes that the book now belongs to her, and
that it has never been injured in any fire. See Catalogue

Size of leaf, six inches and fifteen-sixteenths by four

copies bequeathed by Mr. Prince to the Old South Church
in Boston, from the custody of which it was obtained
about the year 1850, by Mr. George Livermore of Cam
bridge, whose signature is on the inside of the front cover.
In 1855 Mr. Henry Stevens of London made a trade
with Mr. Livermore by which he received from him
twelve leaves out of this volume (sheets W, X, and Y)
to supply an imperfection in the copy which he sold after
wards to Mr. Lenox. After Mr. Livermore's death in
1865, some of his books were deposited in the library of
Harvard College, but they were subsequently withdrawn,
and all were sold at auction by Charles F. Libbie & Co.,
Boston, November 20—23, '^945 when the Psalm Book
was bought for its present owner for ^425. See Catalogue
of the Valuable Private Library of the late George Livermore.,
Esq. (1894), no. 531. See also Stevens's Recollections of
Mr. James Lenox (1886), pp. 61—62, where an error is
made in stating that only four leaves were taken from this
copy to perfect the Lenox copy. The same error is
repeated in Mr. Littlefield's Early Boston Booksellers (1900),
pp. 18—21, where another error is made about the Souldiers
Pocket Bible., which was not received from Mr. Stevens
as part payment for the twelve leaves, but was given to
Mr. Livermore by Mr. Crowninshield, whose inscription
to that effect is in the volume.

are the two remaining copies of the five originally given by
Thomas Prince to the Old South Church in Boston. In
1866 they were deposited with the rest of the collection in
the Boston Public Library. They are described in the printed
catalogue as follows : " There are in the Prince library
two copies of this rare book, one of which (21. 15) is com
plete, with the exception of a slight mutilation of the ' Finis '
leaf, and the absence of the following leaf, which contains
on the recto a list of ' Faults escaped in printing.' The
other (21. 14) which alone has the book-plate of the ' New
England Library,' has a small part of page Ee supplied in
manuscript, and is otherwise complete." See Catalogue of
the American Portion of the Library of the Rev. Thomas Prince
(1868), p. 16; and The Prince Library., A Catalogue of the
Collection of Books and Manuscripts (1870), p. 7.
(6) Harvard College Library, Cambridge, Mass.
Imperfect, lacking the first six leaves and the last four leaves ;
re-bound in October, 1900. The book was given to Har
vard College Library in October, 1764, by Middlecott
Cooke, of Boston, a graduate of- the Class of 1723. See
Catalogue of the Library of Harvard University, vol. 2
(1830), p. 679; and information from Mr. William C.
Lane, the librarian.
(7) American Antiquarian Society, Worcester, Mass.
Imperfect, lacking the title-page and the leaf of errata at the
end ; in the " original vellum binding." " The upper portion
of next to last leaf is torn and a corner from the first page
of the Preface." It was given to the American Antiquarian
Society by Isaiah Thomas, whose book-plate is in the vol
ume. On one of the fly leaves Mr. Thomas has written
the following note : " After advertising for another copy
of this book, and making enquiry in many places in New
England, &c. I was not able to obtain or even to hear of
another. This copy is therefore invaluable, and must be
preserved with the greatest care. It is in the original binding.

the librarian.
(8) Lenox Collection, New York Public Library.
Slightly imperfect, the upper corner of leaf G being torn off,
taking away portions of three lines on both sides ; in modern
binding. Size of leaf, seven inches and one-sixteenth by
four inches and three-quarters. This copy turned up at
the sale of the Fourth and concluding portion of the extensive
and valuable collection of books, formed by the late Mr. William
Pickering, of Piccadilly, bookseller, at Sotheby & Wilkinson's
auction rooms, London, on Jan. 12, 1855, in a lot which
was catalogued as follows : —
43 2 Psalms. The Psalms of David, 1 640 — Another copy,
1639 — The Psalms of David, translated by Bishop King, russia,
gilt edges, 1654 — The Psalms^ by Barton, 1654— Another
copy, 1682 — The whole Book of Psalms, with the Singing
Notes, 1688 — The Psalms of David, in Meeter, 1693
I zmo. 8 vol.
The lot was bought by Mr. Henry Stevens for £i \is.
On examining the book, Mr. Stevens discovered that twelve
leaves (sheets W, X, and Y) were lacking, having been left
out by the original binder. These twelve leaves were finally
obtained from Mr. Livermore's copy, as related above, and
after being mended and re-margined, they were inserted in
this copy ; the book was rebound in red morocco by F. Bed
ford, and was then sold by Mr. Stevens to Mr. Lenox for
£^0. See Stevens, Recollections of Mr. James Lenox ( 1 886),
pp. 57-62, where, besides the error in stating the wrong num
ber of leaves found lacking in this copy, an error is also made
in referring to the wrong number in the Pickering sale
catalogue ("531 Psalmes. Other editions, 1630 to 1675,
black letter, a parcel "), which was bought by " Holmes "
for nineteen shillings.

last three leaves, which were supplied later in facsimile.
Size of leaf, seven inches (nearly) by four inches and five-
eighths. Accompanying the book is a manuscript note of
which the following is an extract : " It belonged to the
Shuttleworth family, & is now handed to my daughter
Sophia S. Simpson, to be used at her own discretion, by her
beloved mother. Sarah Shuttleworth, 1844." About the
year 1872 it was bought by the late T. O. H. P. Burnham,
of the "Antique Bookstore" in Boston, not knowing at
the time exactly what it was. Years afterwards, on com
parison by Mr. R. C. Lichtenstein with the 1640 edition
in the Public Library, it was found to be a genuine copy
of that edition. In August, 1892, it was sold to the late
Bishop John F. Hurst, of Washington, D. C, and in
February, 1903, shortly before his death, it was bought by
Messrs. Dodd, Mead & Co., from whom it passed to the
present owner.
(10) Bodleian Library, Oxford. " The copy in the
Bodleian is perfect. It formerly belonged to Bishop
Tanner." — Cotton's Editions of the Bible (1852), p. 177.
Bishop Tanner died December 14, 1735 ; and by his will,
dated November 22, 1733, he bequeathed his manuscripts
and books to the Bodleian. " Unfortunately, when Tanner
was removing his books from Norwich to Oxford, in De-
cember^ 1731, by some accident in their transit (which was
made by river) they fell into the water, and were submerged
for twenty hours. The effects of this soaking are only
too evident upon very many of them. The whole of the
printed books were uniformly bound in dark green calf,
apparently about fifty years ago ; the binder's work was
well done, but unhappily all the fly-leaves, many of which
would doubtless have afforded something of interest, with
regard to the books and their former possessors, were re
moved." — Macray's Annals of the Bodleian Library {1868),
pp. 155—156. See the Caxton Celebration Catalogue (^1877),
p. 165; Stevens's Bibles in the Caxton Exhibition (1878),

Introduction
In October, i860, it was announced in the Historical
Magazine that C. B. Richardson & Co. " have nearly ready
& facsimile reprint " of the Bay Psalm Book, limited to fifty
copies ; and in the November number it was stated that the
whole edition had been taken up by subscribers. The book
appeared fifteen months later, with title as below, and with
a preface by Dr. Shurtleff, dated January, 1862, in which
we are informed that all the peculiarities of the original, in
cluding broken type, inverted letters, and other errors, had
been reproduced exactly by the modern compositor :
A Literal Reprint of the Bay Psalm Book Being the Earliest
New England Version of the Psalms and the First Book
Printed in America (Fifty Copies for Subscribers) Cambridge
Printed [at the Riverside Press] for Charles B. Richardson
New York 1862 vii pp., psalms (148) leaves, list of sub
scribers (2) pp. 8°.
Besides the fifty copies for subscribers, Mr. Livermore
had fifteen extra copies printed on thick paper for pres
entation, besides five copies on India paper, and one copy
on vellum. The vellum copy was retained by Mr, Liver
more, at whose sale in 1894 it brought ;^76.
In issuing the present reproduction, which is the first
one ever made in exact facsimile, the publishers have used
the copy belonging to Mr. Church, and also the copy in the
Lenox Branch of the New York Public Library. In com
paring these two copies of the original edition side by side, it
was found that the printed matter on every page of the
Lenox copy measured a little more each way than in the
Church copy,the variation being nearly one eighth of an inch.
The difference in size, however, was not typographical,
but was caused merely by the shrinkage of the paper, which
in one copy had been more exposed to the air than in the
other, and was not so smooth and flat. The peculiarity re
ferred to will be noticed in comparing the first three leaves
of the preface, reproduced from the Lenox copy in the
[xvi]

Introduction
present facsimile, with the three leaves following, repro
duced from the Church copy. In each case the facsimiles
are the exact size of the originals. It is an interesting fact
to know that shrinkage of paper can make such a difference
in the measurement of the printed page in different copies
of the same book.

finging Davids pfalmes be a morall duty & their-
fore perpetually then wee under the new Teftarafe
are bound to fing them as well as thty under the
old ; and if wee are expredy commanded to fing
Pfalmes,Hymne5,and fcirituil! fongs, then cithec
wee muft fing Davids pfalmes, or elfe may afiinn
they are not fpirituall fongs: which being'psnned
by an extraordiary gift of the Spirit, forthe fakg
especially ofGods-fpirtuali Ifraellj^ . not to be
read and preached only r (as. otheir patts of isol^
writ) but to be &og aifb, they are therefore mom
fpirituall, and Ml to be fung ofallthelfmell of
Cod: and verily as their fia is exceeding grear^,
who will allow Davids pfalmes (as other fcrip*
tures) tobe read inchuroKs (,whidi Is one end )
but not to be preached alfo,(which is another etid
foe their fin is crying before God, who will als
low them to be read and preached, but Iceke to-
deprive the Lord of the glory of the thirdend of
them, which Is to fing them in chrift ian churches.
obj. I Ifitbefayd that the Saints in the primi
tive Church did compile fpirituall fongs of their
owne inditing, and fing them before the Church,
xCor. 14., n,i^«
^«f. We anfwer firft, that thofe Sainrscompiled
thefe fpirituall fongs by the extraordinary gifts of
* * the

The.
tfie fplrit (common in thofe dayes) whereby they
were inabled to pralfe the Lord in ftrange tongu
es, wherin learned Pduus proves thofe pfalmes
were uttered, in his Commet on that place wf/-/! 4
which extraordinary gifts, if they were ftill in the
Churches, wee fhould allow them the like liberty
ROW. Secondly, fuppofe thofe pfalmes were fung
by an ordinary gift (which wee fuppofe cannot be;
cvided) doth ic therefore follow that they did
TiOt,' &;that We ought not to fing Davids pfalmes
niuft the ordinary gifts ofa private man quench
thelpirit ftill fpeaking to us by the extraordfii
ary gifts of hisfervantDavidf there is not the
leaft foot-ftep of example, or precept, or colons,
jreafon for fuch aboldpradJifc.
obj. 2. Minifters are allowed to pray conceived
prayers, and why not to fing conceived pfalmes ?
muft wee not fing. in the fpirit as well as pray "in
shefpirit? Ms, Firft becaufe every good minifter hath not
a gift oFipiricuall poetry to compofe extempora
ry p&lmes as he hath of prayer. Secondly. Sup
pofe hehad, yet feeing pfalmes areto be fung* by a
joyntconfent and harmony ofal! the Church ia
heart and voyce (as wee fhall prove) this cannot
be done except he that compofeth a pfalme, bring
cth into the Church fet formes of pfalmes of his
owne invetionjfor which wee finde no warrant or
ptcfident in any ordinary officers of the Church
throughout the fciptures. Thirdly. Becaufe
ihe>ooke of pfalmes is fo compleat a Syftem of
pfalmes

pfalmes, which the Holy-Ghoft himfelfe ininfio.
atfrwifdome bath made to fuit all the conditions,
neeeflfitycs, temptations, affections, &c. of men
in all ages; (as moft of all our interpreters on the
pfalmes have fully and perticularly cleared)there
fore by this the Lord fefemeth to ftoppe all mens
mouths and mindes ordinarily to compile or
fing any other pfalmes (under colour that the
ocauonsand conditions of the Church are new)
&c. for the publick ufeof the Church, feing, let
our condition be what it will, the Lord himklfe
hathfopplyedus with farire betterj and therefore
in Hezekiahs time, though doubtlefTe there were
among them thofe which had extraoridnary gifts
to compile new fongs on thofe new ocafioris, as
Ifaiahand Micah &c. yet wee read that they are
commanded to fing in the words of David and
Afaph, which were ordinarily to be ufed in the
publick worfhip of God : and wee doubrnot but
thofe that are wife will eafilyfcc; that thofe
fet formes of pfalmes of Gods owne appoynt-
mcnt not of mans conceived gift or humane
impofition were fang in the Spirit by thofe ho
ly Levites, as well as their prayers w'cre in
the fpirit which themfelves conceived, the
Lord not then binding them therin to any
fet formes • and fhall fet formes of pfalmes
appoyntedof God not be fung in the fpirit nQ"w,
which others did then?
Quefton. But why may not one copofc a pfalfflc
8c fing it alone with a loud voice & the reft joync with

The.
withhim in filenceatidintheend fay Ametit
jiftf. If fuch 3 praaife was found in the Church
of Corinth, when atiy had a pfalme fuggefted by
an extraordinary gift; yet in finging ordinary
pfalmes the whole Church is to ioyne together
in heart and voyce to prayfe the Lord» -for-
Firft. Davids pfalmes as hath beene (hewed,
were fung in heart and voyce together by th6
twenty foure orders ofthe muficians of the Tent
pie, -who typed out the twenty foure Elders all
the members efpcciallyfof chriftian Churches Eeu
s. s. who are made Kings and« Priefts to God
to prayfe him as they did: for if there were
any other order of finging Chorifters befide
the body of the people to fuccccd thofe, the
Lord would doubtleffe have given direftioa
in the gofpcll for their quallification, elctSiion ,'
maintainance &c. as he did for the muficians of
the Temple, and as his faithfullnes hath done for
all other church officers in the new Teftametit.
Secondly. Others befide the Levites (the chiefe
Singers) in the hm(h Church did alfo fing the

As for the fcruple that fome take at the tranf-

Davids pfalmes were fung in his owne words

fhews at feaft the lawfullnes of finging pfaJmes in

verfes as are futable to the poetry of dbe faebrew
language , and not in the common ftyle of fiich

tranflaters of the pfalmes into meetre ufually an

the godly learned that they have rather prelented
a paraphrafe then the words of David tranflat-

that their addition to the words, detractions from
the words are not feldome and rare, but very fre
quent and many times needles , (which we fup
pofe would not be approved of if the pfalmes
were fo tranflitcJ into profe) and that their
variations of the fenfe, and alterations of the
facred text too frequently, mayiuftly minifter
matter of offence to them that are able to com -
