 in  the  body,  which  knit  and  joinc  the  members  toge-

 ;  toftaythe  wicked  from  their  mifchiefes:  Itisafpurre 
 to  prick  forward  fuch  as  are  flow  and  negligent,  yea, 
 and  for  all  men,  it  is  the  fathers  rod,  ever  in  readinefle 
 tochaftife  gently  the  fault  committed,  and  tocaufe 
 them  afterward  to  live  in  more  Godly  feare  and  reve- 
 rence. Finally,  it  is  an  order  left  by  GO  D  unto  his 
 Church,  wherby  men  learne  to  frame  their  willes  and 
 doings  according  to  the  Law  of  God,  by  inftru<5iing 
 and  admonifhing  oneanother,  yea, and  by  corre&ing 
 and  puniihing  all  obftinate  rebelles  and  contemners 
 of  the  fame. 
 
 There  are  three  caufes  chiefely  which  movethe

 That  menofevsllconverfation  bee  not  numbred  a- 
 mongGods  children,  to  their  fathers  reproach,  as  if 
 the  Church  of  God  were  a  San&uary  for  naughty  and 
 vileperfons.  Thefecondrefpe&is,  that  the  good  bee 
 not  infc&cd  with  companying  with  the  evill,  which 
 thing  Sainft  Paul  fore- faw  when  hee  commanded  the 
 Corinthians  to  banifh  from  among  them  the  inceftu- 
 ous  adulterers,  faying,  A  little  leaven  maketh  fowre 
 thewholelumpeofdowe.  The  third  caufe  is^  that  a 
 man  th  us  corre&ed,  or  excommunicated,  might  be  a- 
 fhamed  of  his  fault,  and  lo  through  repentance  come 
 to  amendement,the  which  thing  the  Apoftle  calleth

 ed  with  excommunication,  to  the  intent  his  foule 
 ould  not  perifli  for  ever. 
 Firft  therefore,  it  is  to  bee  noted,that  this  cenfure, 
 >rre<5iion  or  difcipline,  is  either  privat  or  publicke.- 
 ivate,  as  if  a  man  commit  either  in  manners  ordo- 
 rine  againft  thee,  to  admonifli  him  brotherly  bc- 
 reene  him  and  thee.-  if  fo  bee  hec  ftubburnely  rcfift 
 y  charitable  advertifements,  or  els  by  continuance 
 his  fault,  declareth  that  heamendeth  not,  then  after 
 ehathbeene  the  fecond  rime  warned,  in  prefencc 
 two  or  three  witneffes,  and  continueth  obftinate- 
 in  his  error,  hee  ought^s  our  Saviour  Chrift  com- 
 andethtobeedifclofedand  uttered  to  the  Church, 
 that  according  to  publike  difcipline*  heeither  may 
 e  received  through  repentance,  or  els  bee  punifhed, 
 his  fault  requireth. 
 
 And  heere,  as  touching  private  difcipline,  three 
 ingsaretobee  noted,  Firft,  that  our  admonitions 
 oceedeofa  godly  zeale  and  confeience,  rather  fee- 
 ig  to  winne  our  brother,  than  to  flander  him.  Next 
 at  wee  bee  aflured  that  his  fault  bee  reproveable  by 
 odsword.Andfinally,thatwee  ufe  fuch  modefty 
 id  wifdome,  that  if  we  fomewhat  doubt  of  the  mat- 
 r,  whereof  wee  admonifli  him,  yet  with  Godly  ex- 
 altations hee  may  bee  brought  to  the  knowledge  of

 That  publick  repentance  is  the  inftitution  of  God  , 
 i  not  mans  invention,  may  bee  plainly  gathered  of 
 rMaifter,  commanding,  that  ifany  have  offended 
 .  brother  (in  what  fort  fo  ever  it  bee)  that  hee  flnll 
 .  to  him ,  and  be  reconciled  unco  his  brother:  If  the 
 ence  committed  againft  one  brother,  requireth 
 conciliation,  the  offence  committed  againft  many 
 nhren,  requireth  the  fame.  And  if  a  man  beechar- 
 d  by  (Thrift  lefus  to  go  to  a  man  whom  he  hath  of- 
 ided,  and  thereby  confe/fion  of  his  offence  require 
 :onciliation,  much  more  is  hce  bound  to  feekea 
 lole  multitud  whom  hee  hath  offended,  and  before

 lich  our  Mafter  Chrift  lefus  pronounccth againft 
 ery  man  that  hath  offended  the leaft  one  within  his

 ind  his  unfained  repentance. 
 But  becaufe  that  all  men  of  upright  judgement  agree 
 this,  that  publick  offences  require  publick  repen- 
 nce,  we  paffe  to  the  fecond  head,  whichis,  What  it

 g  as  they  continue  both  alive. 
 
 And  this  holy  Mariagc  beeing  a  thing  moftho- 
 
 rirable,  is  of  fuch  vertue  and  force ,  that  thereby

 ,h  no  more  right  or  power  over  her  owne  body,

 Gorgious  apparell  would  bee  abfteined  from,  du- 
 ring the  whole  time  of  our  humiliation,  which  is, 
 from  the  one  Sunday  in  the  morning,  till  the  next 
 Sunday  an  night :  Albeit  that  the  ftraitneffe  of  abfti- 
 nence  is  to  bee  kept  two  dayes  only. 
 
 Wee  do  not  bind  the  conferences  of  perfons  thai; 
 bee  unable  to  beare  the  extremity  of  the  abftinance< 
 and  yet  wee  doe  exhort  them  to  ufe  their  liberty  ( i\

 the  tyme  thereof  would  bee  fome-what  longer  thani

TO    THE    GENTLE    READER. 
 
 ^  ^.  Ood  and  gentleReader,This  Book  of  Ffalmes  being  to  bee  publi- 
 ihedinfofairaletter,andib  fine  pa  periodic  intent  that  nothing 
 mould  be  lacking  to  the  decoring  thereof,  there  is  added  the  fweet 
 ornament  of  Mufick/in  fourc  or  rao  parts  throughout  the  whole 
 Pfalmes.'Beiidcsagrcar  many  Common  Tunes,  fome  g'avc,  fome  light,  fit- 
 ting diverfe  difpofitions  :  As  alfo  fome  Pfalmes  in  Reports ,  for  the  further 
 delight  of  qualified  perfons  in  the  faid  Art.  If  you  bee  curious  to  know  who 
 hath  undergone  thefc  paines  for  your  bencfitc,  I  profeficmy  /elf  a  Wel- 
 willer  to  Mufick,  who  in  love  and  paines  for  advancement  thereof  will  yeeld 
 tofcw,though  in  qualification  to  many;  I  have  fpent  too  much  tyme,  tra- 
 vell  and  expends  on  that  facultie,  if  my  skill  therein  come  fhort  of  this  pre- 
 fent  task:  fedexitusafa  pnbet.  The  motives  moving  mee  hereunto ,  arc 
 chiefely  God  s  glorie,  the  advancement  of  this  Art,  the  fa  ving  of  paines  to 
 Teachers  hereof;  the  incitation  of  others  to  greater  a3s  of  this  kind,  the 
 earneftdefireof  fome  well  afrec"tcd,  the  iniploymentof  my  poor  talent \  to- 
 gether with  an  abufe  obferved  in  all  Churches,  where  fundric  Tribles,  Ba- 
 fes,  and  Counters  fet  by  diverfe  Authors,bcing  fung  upon  one,and  the  fame 
 Tenor,  do  difcordingly  rub  each  upon  another,  offending  both  Muficall, 
 and  rude  ears,  which  never  tafted  of  this  art:  which  unhappie  fault  I  thought 
 might  happily  bsc  helped,  and  the  Church  Mufick  made  more  plaufible  by 
 publifhing  this  Booke.  I  acknowledge  finceerely  the  whole  compofiti* 
 on  s  of  the  parts  to  belong  totheprimelt  Muficians  that  ever  this  kingdome 
 had,asDftwe  lohn  Angus,  Blackball',  Smith,  Peebles, Sharp, Black,  Bnchan\ 
 and  others  famous  for  theh  skill  in  this  kind.  I  would  bee  moll  unwilling 
 to  wrong  Juch  Shyning-lights  of  this  Ar  t,byob  {curing  their  Name  s,  and  ar- 
 rogating any  thing  to  my  felfc,which  any  wayes  might  derogate  from  them: 
 For  ( God  is  my  witnes )  I  afTVt  not  popular  applaufc,  knewinghow  Utle 
 foliditie  there  is  in  that  madow-like  feemingfubftancc,  ftudying  to  approve 
 my  felf  to  God  in  a  good  confeience:  which  teftimonie  finding  in  my  Soul, 
 I  contemnc  all  worldly  approbation,  or  opprobration.  The  fnit  copiesj, 
 of  thefe  parts  were  doubtledy  right  fet  down  by  thefe  skilfull  Authors,  but] 
 have beene  wronged  and  vitiat  by  unskilfull  copers  thereof,aj  allthingJ 
 arc  injured  by  tyme:  Andhecreinconfifted  a  part  of  my  paines,  thatcol-j 
 lcctingall  thefcts  I  could  find  on  rhcPfalmes, after  painfull  iryali  therc-T 
 of,  I  fclcc~ted  the  heft  for  this  wo rk,  according  to  my  fimple  judgement.  I 
 I  know  the  ufuall  Printing-prefTe-pbgue  is  a  malicious  mouthp  fcourgetJ

 Nought  elfc  but  fin  and  wretchednefle

 And  flubbornly  againft  the  Lor  » 
 
 wee  day  ly  play  our  parts. 
 The  Sun  above  in  Firmament, 
 
 that  is  to  us  a  light 
 Doth  fliewit  felf  more  clear  and  pure 
 
 than  wee  bee  in  his  fight. 
 
 The  Heavens  above,  and  all  therein 
 
 more  holy  are  than  wee: 
 They  fervethe  Lord  in  their  eftate 
 
 eachone  in  his  degree. 
 They  do  not  ft  rive  for  Mafterftup, 
 
 nor  flack  their  office  kt: 
 But  ferve  the  Lord,  and  do  his  will, 
 
 hate  is  to  them  no  let. 
 
 Alfo  the  Earth,  and  all  therein 
 
 ofGoDitisinaw: 
 It  doth  obfervc  the  formers  wilt , 
 
 by  skilfull  natures  law. 
 The  Sea,  and  all  that  is  therein 
 
 doth  bend  when  God  doth  beck: 
 
 The 
 
I 
 
 k^  Thankfgiving 
 
 The  fprits  beneath  do  tremble  all , 
 and  feare  his  wrathfull  check. 
 
 But  wee  alas  for  whom  all  thefe 
 
 were  made ,  them  for  to  rule, 
 Doth  not  fo  know  or  love  the  Lor  d, 
 
 as  doth  the  Oxe  or  Mule. 
 A  law  heegave  for  us  to  know 
 
 what  was  his  holy  will: 
 Hee  would  us  good,  but  wee  would  not 
 
 avoid  the  thing  is  ill. 
 
 Not  one  of  us  that  £eketh  ou{ 
 
 the  Lor  d  oflyfe  to  pleafe: 
 Nor  do  the  thing  that  might  us  joine 
 
 to  Ch  r  i  s  t  and  quyet  eafe. 
 Thus  arc  wee  all  his  enemies 
 
 weecanitnotdenic: 
 A  nd  hee  again  of  his  good- will 
 
 would  not  that  wee  fhould  die. 
 
 Therefore  when  remedie  was  none 
 
 to  bring  us  unto  life , 
 The  Son  of  God  our  flefh  hee  tooke, 
 
 .  to  end  our  mortal!  ftrife. 
 And  all  the  law  of  God  the  Lor  d 
 
 hee  did  it  full  obey.- 
 And  for  our  fins  upon  the  crofle 
 
 his  blood  ourdebtsdid  pay. 
 
 And  that  wee  fhould  not  yet  forget 
 jvhat  good  hee  to  us  wrought 
 
After  the  SAcrament. 
 
 A  fignc  hec  left  our  eyes  to  tell, 
 that  hce  our  bodies  bought. 
 
 In  bread  and  wine  heere  vifible 
 unto  thme  eyes  and  tad: 
 
 His  mercies  great  thou  maift  record, 
 if  that  his  Sprit  thou  haft. 
 
 As  once  the  corn  did  live  and  grow, 
 
 and  was  cut  down  with  fith.- 
 And  threfhed  out  with  many  drips 
 
 out  from  his  husk  to  drive. 
 And  as  che  Mill  with  violence 
 
 did  tear  it  out  Co  froall: 
 And  madeit  like  to  earthly  duft, 
 
 notfparingicatall. 
 
 And  as  the  Oven  with  fire  hot 
 did  clofe  it  up  with  hear: 
 And  all  this  doneas  I  have  faid , 
 that  it  fhould  bee  our  meat. 
 So  was  the  Lord  in  his  ripe  age 
 
 cutdownbycruell  death: 
 His  Soul  hce  gave  in  torments  great, 
 and  yeelded  up  his  breath. 
 
 Becaufethat  hee  to  us  might  bee 
 
 an  everlafting  bread  : 
 With  much  reproach  and  troubles  great 
 
 on  earth  his  life  hee  led. 
 And  as  the  grapes  in  pleafant  time 
 areprefledveiyfore: 
 
 And 
 
I  Kyi  Th&nkfgiving 
 
 And  plucked  down  when  they  bee  ripe, 
 and  let  to  grow  no  more. 
 
 JBecaufe  the  juice  that  in  them  is 
 
 as  comfortable  drink 
 Wee  might  receive,  and  joy  full  bee, 
 
 when  forrowes  make  us  fhrink. 
 So  C  h  r  i  s  t  his  blood  out  preflfed  was 
 
 with  nailes,  and  eke  with  fpear : 
 The  juice  whereofdothfaveali  thofe 
 
 that  rightly  do  him  fear. 
 
 And  as  the  comes  by  unitie 
 
 into  one  leafeare  knit: 
 So  is  the  Lor  d  and  his  whole  Church, 
 
 though  hec  in  heaven  fit. 
 As  many  grapes  make  but  one  wine, 
 
 fofliouldweebeebut  one,  . 
 In  faith  and  love  in  Ch  r  i  s  t  above, 
 
 and  unto  Christ  alone. 
 
 Reading  a  life  without  all  ftrife, 
 
 :   in  quyet  reft  and  peace: 
 From  envieand  from  malice  both 
 
 our  hearts  and  tongues  to  cea/e. 
 Which  if  wee  do  then  (hall  wqejhew 
 
 that  wee  his  cholen  bee, 
 By  faith  in  him  to  lead  a  life, 
 
 as  ever  willed  free. 
 
 And  that  wee  may  fo  do  indeed

 Then  after  death  wee  fliall  bee  furc

 wee  knowing  thy  blefied  will,  have  not  applyed  our
