Li . M.OX. \e <3 0FPfW^s. * MAY 25 1936 C AMBRIDGE Printed for CHARLES B. RICHARDSON NEW YORK 1862 Riverfide Press : Reprinted by Henry O. Houghton, Cambridge. THE two hundred and ninety-five pages which follow this brief introductory notice comprise a literal reprint of the whole of that curious little met- rical volume known to antiquaries as the Bay Psalm Book, and to bibliographical writers and scholars as the New England Version of the Psalms, and which was very early in use by our New England fore- fathers as the New England Psalm Book. In the reproduction of this quaint volume every word, every letter, and indeed every point has been sedulously collated with a perfect impression of the original work struck at Cambridge in the year 1640. We are informed by the distinguished annalist of New England, the Reverend Mr. Thomas Prince of Boston, that " The first settlers of the New Eng- land colonies, — who came to Plymouth in 1620, to Salem with three ministers for the Massachusetts and one for Plymouth in 1629, and with the Massachu- setts charter, governor, deputy-governor, assistants, four ministers, and fifteen hundred people to Boston and the neighboring towns in 1 630, — were esteemed in England as some of the most eminent for Scrip- ture knowledge, piety, and strict adherence to the IV word of God as any in their day. They wisely made the Divine oracles the only rule of their religion ; and their great and noble design was to spread the holy kingdom of Christ in its Scripture purity, light, and power in this new world, and to set up churches for their matter, form, worship, liberty, watch, govern- ment, and discipline, as near as possible to what they were under the conduct of inspiration in the Apostles days." These finding themselves, in the accomplish- ment of their designs, much in need of Scriptural melodies for their private religious meetings and for the worship of God upon the Lord's day, several of the most distinguished of their pious and learned min- isters, as early as the year 1636, began to prepare a metrical version of the Psalms and other sacred writ- ings to appropriate metre, retaining as nearly as pos- sible the exact meaning of the inspired originals. By the year 1640 the Psalms were versified ; and, under the supervision of the Reverend Mr. Richard Mather of Dorchester, the Reverend Mr. Thomas Weld and the Reverend Mr. John Eliot of Roxbury, persons em- inently qualified for the purpose, as being well ac- quainted with the Hebrew and Greek languages, they were immediately prepared for the press. During the same year, the printing was executed by Mr. Stephen Daye, at Cambridge, in a manner that certainly, as far as press-work is concerned, was highly creditable to the craft of the infant colony. In those days, however, text-books on punctuation were not in the V hands of compositors, nor were there skilful persons near to revise the proofs, consequently there was no great minding of stops observed ; and commas, sem- icolons, and full-points, were miscellaneously distrib- uted, with very little regard to propriety. The running-titles of the book, as may be seen by exam* ination of the reprint, would greatly astonish the youngest apprentice of a modern printing-office. For instance, to the preface the running-title is, on the left-hand page, " The.", with a full-point after it ; and, on the right-hand page, " Preface." For the remainder of the book the compositor, for some unknown and unimaginable reason, used the word PSALM on every even page, and P S A L M E (spaced) on the odd pages. The divisions, which a modern printer is so extremely careful about, are oftentimes as bad as they can be, monosyllables be- ing divided at the ends of lines with hyphens, and not unfrequently polysyllables divided without them. The book had no folios on the corners of the pages, making it difficult to find the Psalms as read- ily as could be desired. Thus appeared the first book printed in America, not reckoning as such what Daye had printed in the previous year, name- ly, the Freeman's Oath, and an Almanac for New England. The second edition of the New England Version was printed in a volume of 300 pages, crown octavo, in 1647, with slight amendments in phraseology; after VI which President Dunster, of Harvard College, with the assistance of Mr. Richard Lyon, a gentleman of parts, attempted a more thorough version, which was duly completed and printed in a volume of 308 pages, also in crown octavo, in 1650. In this last form, the preparation of which required the labor of about three years, the book was so favorably regarded, that it was not only the version in general use in New England, but was also preferred by many of the con- gregations in England, where it was used as late as the year 1 7 1 7. In the year 1758, Rev. Thomas Prince, the annalist, published a revised and im- proved edition, to which he added a collection of hymns on several important subjects having a devo- tional bearing. These Psalms from time to time were changed and amended in phraseology, and were for many years in use in New England, — but in such an al- tered form that they probably could not be recog- nized as such without much study. Before closing this notice one word is due the printer ; for without it, he may appear to some as having been very negligent in correcting his forms, or the editor must be stigmatized as a very poor proof- reader. Indeed, so exact and faithful has the com- positor been in following the original copy, that the bad spacing, omission of spaces, irregular justification, bad divisions, broken type, letters inverted, mixed lower case letters with italics, and typographical errors, Vll are strictly reproductions of the printer's errors of the olden time. Let the reader, then, give to the printer the credit justly his due ; for in this instance he has produced a reprint, such as a reprint of curious old books should be. S.

THe ringing of Pfalmes, though it breath forth nothing but holy harmony, and melody : yet fuch is the fubtilty of the enemie, and the enmity of our nature againft the Lord, & his wayes, that our hearts can finde matter of difcord in this har- mony, and crotchets of divifion in this holy me- lody .-for- There have been three queftios especi- ally ftirrlg cocerning ringing. Firft. what pfalmes are to be fung in churches? whether Davids and o- ther fcripture pfalmes, or the pfalmes invented by the gifts of godly men in every age of the church. Secondly, if fcripture pfalmes, whether in their owne words, or in fuch meter as englifh poetry is wont to run in? Thirdly "by whom are they to be fung? whether by the whole churches together with their voices? or by one man finging aloe and the reftjoynig in filece,& in the clofe faylg amen. Touching the firft, certainly the finging of Da- vids pfalmes was an acceptable worfhip of God, not only in his owne, but in fucceeding times, as in Solomons time 2 Chron. 5. 13. in Iehofa- phats time 2 chron. 20. 21. in Ezra his time Ezra 3. 10,11. and the text is evident in Hezekiahs time they are commanded to fing praife in the words of David and Afaph, 2 chron. 29, 30. which one place may ferve to refolve two of the queftions (the firft and the laft) at once, for this commandement was it ceri- * 2 moniall The. moniall or morall? fome things in it indeed were cerimoniall, as their muficall inftruments &c but what cerimony was there in finging prayfe with the words of David and Afaph? what if Da- vid was a type of Chrift, was Afaph alfo ? was every thing of David typicall? are his words (which are of morall, univerfall, and perpetuall authority in all nations and ages) are they typi- call ? what type can be imagined in making ufe of his fongs to prayfe the Lord ? If they were ty- picall becaufe the cerimony of muficall inftru- ments was joyned with them, then their prayers were alfo typicall, becaufe they had that ceremo- ny of incenfe admixt with them : but wee know that prayer then was a morall duty, notwithstand- ing the incenfe; and foe finging thofe pfalmes not- withstanding their muficall inftruments. Befide, that which was typicall (as that they were fung with muficall inftruments, by the twenty-foure orders of Priefts and Levites. i chron 25. 9.) muft have the morall and fpirituall accomplifhment in the new Teftament, in all the Churches of the Saints principally, who are made kings & priefts Reu. 1.6. and are the firft fruits unto God. 'Reu. 14 4. as the Levites were Num. 3. 45. with hearts & lippes, in ftead of muficall inftruments, to prayfe the Lord; who are fet forth (as fome iudicioufly thinke) Reu. 4. 4. by twety foure Elders, in the ripe age of the Church, Gal. 4. 1,2, 3. anfwering to the twenty foure orders of Priefts and Levites 1 chron. 25. 9. Therefore not fome feled members Preface. members, but the whole Church is commaund- ed to teach one another in all the feverall forts of Davids pfalmes,fome being called by himfelfe DHlQfO •* pfalms, fome D^vMfi • Hymns fome D*TfiP ' fpirituall fongs. foe that if the ringing Davids pfalmes be a morall duty & ther- fore perpetuall; then wee under the new Teftamet are bound to ring them as well as they under the old: and if wee are exprefly commanded to fing Pfalmes,Hymnes, and fpirituall fongs, then either wee rauft ring Davids pfalmes, or elfe may affirm they are not fpirituall fongs: which being penned by an extraordiary gift of the Spirit, for the fake efpecially of Gods fpirtuall Ifraell; not to be read and preached only (as other parts of holy writ) but to be fung alfo, they are therefore moft fpirituall, and {till to be fung of all the Ifraell of God : and verily as their fin is exceeding great, who will allow Davids pfalmes (as other fcrip- tures)to be read in churches (which is one end) but not to be preached alfo, (which is another end foe their fin is crying before God, who will al- low them to be read and preached, but feeke to deprive the Lord of the glory of the third end of them, which is to fing them in chriftian churches, obj. 1 If it be fayd that the Saints in the primi- tive Church did compile fpirituall fongs of their owne inditing, and ling them before the Church. iCor. 14, 1 £, 16. Arif. We anfwer firft, that thofe Saints compiled thefe fpirituall fongs by the extraordinary gifts of * 3 the The. the fpirit (common in thofe dayes) whereby they were inabled to praife the Lord in ftrange tongu- es, wherin learned Paraus proves thofe pfalmes were uttered, in his Commet on that place uers 14 which extraordinary gifts, if they were ftill in the Churches, wee mould allow them the like liberty now. Secondly, fuppofe thofe pfalmes were fung by an ordinary gift (which wee fuppofe cannot be evicted) doth it therefore follow that they did not, & that we ought not to fing Davids pfalmes? muft the ordinary gifts of a private man quench the fpirit ftill fpeaking to us by the extraordin ary gifts of his fervant David? there is not the leaft foot-ftep of example, or precept, or colour reafon for fuch a bold praclife. obj. 2. Ministers 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 the fpirit ? dns. Firft becaufe every good minifter hath not a gift of fpirituall poetry to compofe extempora- ry pfalmes as he hath of prayer. Secondly. Sup pofe he had, yet feeing pfalmes are to be fung by a joynt confent and harmony of all the Church in heart and voyce (as wee fhall prove) this cannot be done except he that compofeth a pfalme, bring eth into the Church fet formes of pfalmes of his owne invetion;for which wee finde no warrant or prefident in any ordinary officers of the Church throughout the fciptures. Thirdly. Becaufe the booke of pfalmes is fo compleat a Syftem ot pfalmes Preface. pfalmes, which the Holy-Ghoft himfelfe in infin- ite wifdome hath made to fuit all the conditions, neceffityes, 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 feemeth to ftoppe all mens mouths and mindes ordinarily to compile or fing any other pfalmes (under colour that the ocafions and conditions of the Church are new) &c. for the publick ufe of the Church, feing, let our condition be what it will, the Lord himfelfe hath fupplyed us with farre better; and therefore in Hezekiahs time, though doubtleffe there were among them thofe which had extraoridnary gifts to compile new fongs on thofe new ocafions, as Ifaiah and 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 doubt not but thofe that are wife will eafily fee; that thofe fet formes of pfalmes of Gods owne appoynt- ment not of mans conceived gift or humane impofition were fung in the Spirit by thofe ho- ly Levites, as well as their prayers were in the fpirit which themfelves conceived, the Lord not then binding them therin to any fet formes ; and fhall fet formes of pfalmes appoynted of God not be fung in the fpirit now, which others did then ? Quefton. But why may not one copofe a pfalme & fing it alone with a loud voice & the reft joyne with The. with him in filence and in the end fay Amen? Ans. If fuch a practife was found in the Church of Corinth, when any 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 mewed, were fung in heart and voyce together by the twenty foure orders of the muficians of the Tern pie, who typed out the twenty foure Elders all the members efpecially of chriftian Churches Reu 5. 8. who are made Kings and Priefts to God to prayfe him as they did : for if there were any other order of ringing Chorifters befide the body of the people to fucceed thofe, the Lord would doubtlefTe have given direction in the gofpell for their qualification, election, maintainance &c. as he did for the muficians of the Temple, and as his faithfullnes hath done for all other church officers in the ntw Teftament. Secondly. Others befide the Levites (the chiefe Singers) in the lewifh Church did alfo fing the Lords fongs; elfe why are they commanded fre- quently to fing: as in pf. 100, 1,2,3. pf 95, x ' 2 '3- pf 102 -title, with vers 18. & Ex. 15. 1. not only Mofes but all Ifraell fang that fong, they fpake faying (as it is in the orig. ) all as well as Mofes, the women alfo as well as the men. v. 20 21 . and dcut. 32.

Reu. ] 5". 3.) this fong Mofes is commanded not only to put it into their hearts but into their mouths alio: deut. 31. 19. which argues, they were with their mouths to fing it to- gether as well as with their hearts. Thirdly. Ifaiah foretells in the dayes of the new- Teftament that Gods watchmen and defolate loft foules, (fignified by waft places) fhould with their voices fing together, I fa. 52. 8, 9. and Reu- 7. 9, 10. the fong of the Lamb was by many to- gether, and the Apoftle exprefly commands the ringing of Pfalmes, Himnes, &c. not to any fe- lecl chriftians, but to the whole Church Eph. 9. 19 coll. 3. 16. Paule & Silas fang together in private Afts. 16. 25. and muft the publick heare oly one man fing? to all thefe wee may adde the practife of the primitive Churches; the teftimony of an- cient and holy Bajil is in ftead of many Epift. 63 When one of us (faith he) hath begun a pfalme, the reft of us fet in to fing with him, all of us with one heart and one voyce ; and this faith he is the common practife of the Churches in Egypt, Lybia, Thebes, Paleftina, Syria and thofe that dwell on Euphrates, and generally every where, where finging of pfalmes is of any account. To the fame putpofe alfo Eujebius gives witnes , Ecclef. Hifi. lib. 2. cap. 17. The objections made againft this doe moft of them plead againft joyn- ing to fing in heart as well as in voyce, as that by this meanes others out of the Church will fing * * as The. as alfo that wee are not alway in a futable eState to the matter fung, & likewife that all cannot fing with understanding; mall not therefore all that have underftanding ioyne in heart and voyce to- gether ? are not all the creatures in heaven, earth, feas : men, beaSts, fifhes, foules &c. commanded to praife the Lord, and yet none of thefe but men, and godly men too, can doe it with fpirituall understanding ? As for the fcruple that fome take at the tranf- latio of the book of pfalmes into meeter, becaufe Davids pfalmes were fung in his owne words without meeter: wee anfwer- Firft- There are many verfes together in feveral pfalmes of David which run in rithmes (as thofe that know the heb- rewand as Buxtorf mews Tkefau. pa. 629.) which mews at leaSt the lawfullnes of Singing pfalmes in engliSh rithmes. Secondly. The pfalmes are penned in fuch verfes as are futable to the poetry of the hebrew language, and not in the common Style of fuch other bookes of the old TeStament as are not poeticall; now no proteStant doubteth but that all the bookes of the fcripture Should by Gods ordinance be extant in the mother tongue of each nation, that they may be understood of all, hence the pfalmes are to be tranflated into our eng- liSh tongue; and if in our engliSh tongue wee are to fing them, then as all our engliSh fongs (accord ing to the courfe of our englifh poetry) do run in metre, foe ought Davids pfalmes to be tranflated into Preface. into meeter, that foe wee may fing the Lords fongs, as in our englifh tongue foe in fuch verfes as are familar to an englifh eare which are com- monly metricall : and as it can be no juft offence to any good confcience to fing Davids hebrew fongs in englifh words, foe neither to fing his poeticall verfes in englifh poeticall metre : men might as well ftumble at finging the hebrew pfalmes in our englifh tunes (and not in the he- brew tunes) as at finging them in englifh meeter, (which are our verfes) and not in fuch verfes as are generally ufed by David according to the po- etry of the hebrew language : but the truth is, as the Lord hath hid from us the hebrew tunes, left wee mould think our felves bound to imitate them; foe alfo the courfe and frame (for the moft part) of their hebrew poetry, that wee might not think our felves bound to imitate that, but that every nation without fcruple might follow as the graver fort of tunes of their owne country fongs, foe the graver fort of verfes of their owne count- ry poetry. Neither let any think, that for the meetre fake wee have taken liberty or poeticall licence to depart from the true and proper fence of Davids words in the hebrew verfes, noe; but it hath beene one part of our religious care and faithfull indeavour, to keepe clofe to the originall text. As for other obieclions taken from the diffi- culty of Ainfworths tunes, and the corruptions in * * 2 our The. our common pfalme books, wee hope they are anfwered in this new edition of pfalmes which wee here prefent to God and his Churches. For although wee have caufe to bleffe God in many refpecls for the religious indeavours of the tranflaters of the pfalmes into meetre ufually an- nexed to our Bibles, yet it is not unknowne to the godly learned that they have rather prefented a paraphrafe then the words of David tranflat- ed according to the rule 2 chron. 29. 30. and 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 tranflated into prole ) and that their variations of the fenfe, and alterations of the facred text too frequently, may iuftly minifter matter of offence to them that are able to com- pare the translation with the text ; of which fail- ings, fome iudicious have oft complained, others have been grieved, wherupon it hath bin generally defired, that as wee doe inioye other, foe (if it were the Lords will) wee might inioye this ordinance alfo in its native purity : wee have therefore done our indeavour to make a plaine and familiar tranflation of the pfalmes and words of David into englifh metre, and have not foe much as prefumed to paraphrafe to give the {enfe of his meaning in other words; we have therefore attended heerin as our chief guide the originall, muning all additions, except fuch as even the beft translators Preface. tranflators of them in profe fupply, avoiding all materiall detractions from words or fence. The word V which wee tranflate and as it is redun- dant fometime in the Hebrew, foe fomtime (though not very often) it hath been left out, and yet not then, if the fence were not faire without it. As for our tranflations, wee have with our englifh Bibles (to which next to the Originall wee have had reipect) ufed the Idioms of our owne tongue in ftead of Hebraifmes , left they might feeme englifh barbarifmes. Synonimaes wee ufe indifferently: as folk for peo pie, and Lord for Iehovah, and fomtime (though feldome) God for Iehovah; for which (as for fome other interpretations of places cited in the new Teftament) we have the fcriptures authority pf. 14. with 53. Heb. 1. 6. with pfalme 97. 7. Where a phrafe is doubtfull wee have followed that which(in our owne apprehenfio)is moft genu ine & edifying : Somtime wee have contracted, fomtime dilated the fame hebrew word, both for the fence and the verfe fake : which dilatation wee conceive to be no paraphrafticall addition no more then the contraction of a true and full translation to be any unfaithfull detraction or di- minution : as when wee dilate who healeth and fay he it is who healeth ; foe when wee contract, thofe thatjiand in awe of God and fay Gods fearers. Laftly. Becaufe fome hebrew words have a * * Q more The. more full and emphaticall Signification then any one englifh word can or doth fomtime expreffe, hence wee have done that fomtime which faith- full translators may doe, viz. not only to tranflate the word but the emphafis of it; as /K mighty God, for God. *p3 kumbly blejfe for blejfe ; rife to ft and, pfalm l . for ft and truth and faithfullnes for truth. Howbeit, for the verfe fake wee doe not alway thus, yet wee ren- der the word truly though not fully ; as when wee fomtime fay reioyce for fliout for ioye . As for all other changes of numbers, tenfes, and characters of fpeech, they are fuch as either the hebrew will unforcedly beare, or our englifh forceably calls for, or they no way change the fence ; and fuch are printed ufually in an other character. If therefore the verfes are not alwayes fo fmooth and elegant as fome may defire or expect ; let them confider that Gods Altar needs not our pollifhings : Ex. 20. for wee have reflected rather a plaine transla- tion, then to frnooth our verfes with the fweetnes of any paraphrafe, and foe have attended Confcience rather then Elegance, fidelity rather then poetry, in translating the hebrew words into englifh language, and Davids poetry into englifh meetre ; that Preface. that foe wee may ring in Sion the Lords fongs of prayfe according to his owne will; untill hee take us from hence, and wipe away all our teares , & bid us enter into our matters ioye to ring eternall Halleluiahs.

I?3vl2 nr 1640 ih The volume popularly known as the "Bay Psalm Book " was printed at Cambridge, Massachusetts, by Stephen Daye, in 1640, and is the first book printed in British America. Isaiah Thomas, in his "History of Printing," gives an account of this book, not without errors, however, as he had never seen a perfect copy. His description of the title-page, for instance, is that of an entirely different book, published several years later. He makes, too, the further mistake of describing the book as a small octavo. Lowndes follows Thomas as to the title, but quotes Dr. Cotton as to the quarto form. Cotton mentions the book as in the Bodleian Library, calling it, "The Psalms in Metre, 4to, no place, no name, 1640," and gives a specimen in his appendix, being ignorant evidently of its origin. Other bibliographical writers have perpetuated the errors of Thomas and Lowndes. All however agree as to the extreme rarity and value of the book; Lowndes saying, "This volume, which is excessively rare, and would at an auction in America, produce from four to six thousand dollars, is familiarly termed the ' Bay Psalm Book.' " The Rev. Thomas Prince, who once owned the copy now offered for sale, and who published in 175S a revised and improved edition of the book, says in his preface, "By 1636 there were come over hither near thirty pious and learned ministers, educated in the uni- versities of England ; and from the same exalted Principle of Scrip- ture, Purity in Religious Worship, they set themselves to translate the Psalms and other Scripture Songs into English Metre, as near as possible to the inspired Original. They committed this work espec- ially to the Rev. Mr. Richard Mather of Dorchester, the Rev. Mr. Thomas Weld, and the Rev. Mr. John Eliot, of Roxbury, well acquainted with the Hebrew, in which the Old Testament, and with the Greek, in which the New, were originally written. They finished the Psalms in 1640, which were first printed by Mr. Daye, that year, at our Cambridge." An exact reprint was published in 1862, by C. B. Richardson of New York, from the copy now offered for sale, with a preface by the late N. B. Shurtleff, M. D., who owned the volume and superintended the work. The history of this copy, so far as known, is this. Originally the property of one of its authors, the Rev. Richard Mather, (whose well- known autograph it contains in many places, declaring it to be ' His Booke,') the little volume subsequently came into the hands of the Rev. Thomas Prince, the friend and disciple of Cotton Mather, Rich- ard's grandson. By Prince it was made a part of his famous New- England Library, as appears by his book-plate, itself a rarity, upon the reverse of the title-page, as follows : This Book belongs to The New-England-Zz'^rtf/^/, Begun to be collected by Thomas Prince, upon his entring Harvard-College, July 6, 1703 ; and was given by faid Prince, to remain therein for ever. This Library was bequeathed to the Old South Church by Prince's will, dated Oct. 2d, 1758, and from that time till i860, the book re- mained 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. After Dr. Shurtleff's death, the volume was catalogued with the rest of his library, by Mr. Leonard, and would have been sold Dec. 2d, 1875, but for an injunction obtained by the deacons of the Old South Church at that time. Since then the matter has been heard by the Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts, the injunction dissolved, and the book adjudged to belong to Dr. Shurtleff's estate, which is thus able to give to a purchaser a clear and undisputed title. This copy is in the original binding, old calf, and is absolutely per- fect as regards the printed matter, though a small portion of the mar- gin of the title-page and part of the blank space on the page of errata have been cut out. There is not probably in the world a?iother copy in this condition. The fact that this is a veritable Author's Copy, gives it an additional interest and value. The collation is as follows : Title-page with ornamented border, verso blank, with Prince's book-plate pasted upon it ; Preface, twelve pages, and seven lines at the close printed shortening at each end on the thirteenth page, the fourteenth being blank. "The Psalmes " be- ginning on page "A" which follows, two hundred and seventy-eight pages, the last containing, after the word ''Finis," fifteen lines headed, "An admonition to the reader " ; Errata, one page, verso blank. At the head of every left hand page, except two, the word "PSALM" is spelled in the modern fashion, and on the opposite page it is spelled "PSALM E" (spaced). The volume is without folios, but has sig- natures and catchwords throughout. Size of page, six and seven- eighths inches by four and one-half inches. 4 / # Samp. >:a-**^ Km ' . %A 2*3 ^fgm.^©? *<9*^Vm«*3P£' 480 Psalms.
