 WHILE we fing the Praifes of our God 
 in his Church, we are employed in that 
 Part of Worfhip which of ail others is the n 
 a-kin to Heaven ; and 'tis Pity that,

Iv The PREFACE. 
 
 I have been long convinced, that one great 
 Occafion of th s Evil arifts from the Matter 
 and Words to which we confine all our Songs. 
 Some of them are almoft oppofite to the Spi- 
 rit of the Gofpe! : M^ny of them foreign to 
 the State of the New Teftamenr, and widely 
 different from the prefent Circumftances of 
 Chriltians. Hence it comes to pafs, that when 
 fpiritual AfFeclions are excited in us, and our 
 Souls are raifed a little above this Earth in the 
 Beginning of a Pfalm, we are checked, on a fud- 
 den, in our Afcent to Heaven, by fome Expref- 
 fions that are more fuited to the Days of Carnal 
 Ordinances, and nt only to be fung in the Worldly 
 Sancluary. When we are juft entering into an 
 Evangelical Frame, by fome of the Glories of the 
 Gofpel prefented in the brighter! Figures of 
 'Judaifm, yet the very next Line, perhaps, which 
 the Clerk parcels out unto us, hath fomething in 
 it fo extremely Jevjifh and cloudy, that darkens 
 our Sight of God the Saviour. Thus by keep 
 ing too clofe to David in the Houfe of God, th 
 Vail of Mofes is thrown over our Hearts. Whil 
 we are kindling into Divine Love by the Mediu 
 tions of the loving Kbidnefs of God, and the Mul- 
 titude of his tender Mercies, v\ithin a few Verfe 
 fome dreadful Curfe againft Men is propofed t 
 our Lips; That God would add Iniquity unto tbel 
 Iniquity, nor let them co?ne into his Right eoufnefs 
 but blot them cut of the Book of the Living, Pfaln 
 Ixix. 26, 27, 28, which is contrary to th 
 New Commandment of loving our Enemies', am 
 even under the Old Teftament is beft accounte. 
 for, by referring it to the Spirit of Prephetic 
 Vengeance. Some Sentences of the Pfalmift, ths 
 areexprefiive of the Temper of our own Heart! 
 and the Circumftances of our Lives, may comf 
 pu§ our Spirits to Senoufnefs, and allure us tl 
 
The P R E F A C E. v 
 
 a fweet Retirement within ourfelves 5 but 
 mett with the following Line, which fo peculi- 
 arly belongs but to one Action or Hour of the Life 
 of David or of Afapb, that breaks off our Song 
 in the Mi (t ; our Conferences are affrighted, leit 
 we (hculd fpeak a Fallhood unto God : Thus the 
 Powers of our Soul* are (hocked on a Hidden, and 
 our Spirits ruffled, before we have Time to re- 
 fit 61 that this may be fung only as a Hiftory of 
 ancient Saints : And, perhaps, in fume Inftances 
 that Salvo is hardly lufficient neither. Betides, < 
 it almoft always fpcil. the Devotion, by breaking 
 the uniform Thread of it. For while cur Lips 
 and our Hea ts run on fweetly together, applying 
 the Words to our own Cafe, there is fomething 
 of Divine Delight in it : But at once we are^prced 
 to turn off the Application abruptly, Jim our 
 Lips fpeak nothing but the Heart of Da\ 
 Thus our own Hta;ts are, as it were, forbid the 
 Purfuit of the Song, and then the Harmony and 
 the Worfhip grow dull of meer NecefTity. 
 
 Many Ministers, and many private Chriftians, 
 have long groaned under this Inconvenience, and 
 have wifhed raiher than 3tt mpt*d a Reforma- 
 tion : At their importunate and repeated Re- 
 quelh, I have for fame Years paft devoted many 
 Hours of Leifure to this Service. Far be it from 
 my Tnoughts to lay a fide the Book of PL-dms in 
 public Worfhip ; few can prerend fo great a V?.- 
 lue for them as myfelf : It is the moif Artful, molt 
 Devotional and Divine Collection of Poefyj and 
 nothing can be fuppoied more proper to raife a 
 pious Soul to Heaven, than fame Parts of * 
 Book; never was a Piece of experimental Divi- 
 nity fo nobly written, and fo |uftly reverenced 
 and admired : But it mult be acknowledged . 
 that there are a thoufand Lir.es in it which w 
 not made for a Church in oar D 
 
 A 3 as 
 
Ti The P R E F A C E. 
 
 as it-sown: There are alfo many Deficiencies of 
 Light and Glory, which ou'r Lord Jefus and his 
 ApoiUes have fopplied in the Writings of the 
 New Tcftament ; and with this Advantage I have 
 ccmpofed thefe Spiritual Songs, which are now 
 prelcnted :orhe Ws rid. Nor is the Attempt vain- 
 glorious or prefuming ; for in reflect of clear 
 Evangelical Knowledge, The leaf, in tbi Kingdom 
 of Heaven is greater than ail the Jewijb Profheis > 
 Matt. xi. j i. f -y-, 
 
 Now Jet me give a fhort Account of the follow- 
 ing CompoAlres. 
 
 The greateit Part of them are fuited to the 
 general S'atecf the Gofpel, and the mo* 
 raon Affairs of Chnitians : I hope there will £>e 
 very jJL$\i'o unci but what may properly be ufed 
 in a^Jtgjc^us AiTembly, and not one of them 
 burmay well be adapted to fome Seafons, either 
 of private or of public Worfhip. The raoft fre- 
 quent Tempers and Changes of our Spirit, and 
 Conditions of our Life, are here copied, and the 
 Breathings of our Piety exprefied according to 
 the Variety of our Paflions ; our Love, our Fear, 
 our Hope, our Defire, our Sorrow, our Wonder, 
 and our joy, as they are refined into Devotion, 
 and act under the Influence and Conduct of the 
 BitiTed Spirit j all converting with God the Fa- 
 ther, by the new and living Way of Accefs to the 
 Throne, even the Perfon and Mediation of our 
 Lord J (jus Chrtft. To him alfo, even to the Lamb 
 that nx'us JJain, and ?.g-z>j lives, I hare addrefle<i ma- 
 ny a Seng ; for thus doth the Holy Scripture in- 
 ftruci and teach us to worfhip, in the various 
 fhort Patterns of Chriftian Pfalmody defcribed in 
 the Revelations. I have avoided the more ob- 
 fcure and controverted Points of Chrillianity, 
 that we might all obev the Direction of the Word 
 of God, undying his Praifesnxiih Underflanding, 
 
 Ffalm 
 
The P R E F A C E 9 vi 
 
 Pfalm xlvii. 7. The Contentions and diftinguifh- 
 ing Words of Setts and Parties are fecluded, that 
 whole Affemblies might afhft at the Harmony, 
 and different Churches join in the fame Wcrfhip, 
 without Offence. 
 
 If any Expreflions occur to the Reader that fa- 
 vour of an Opinion different frcm his own, yet 
 he may obferve thefe are generally fuch as are 
 capable of an extenfive Senfe, and may be ufed 
 with a charitable Latitude. I think it is molt 
 agreeable, that what is provided for public Sing- 
 ing, fliouid give to fincere Confciences as little 
 Disturbance as poflible. However, where 2ny 
 unplealmg Word is found, he that leads the Wor- 
 ship, may fubftitutea better; for (bleifed beGcd) 
 we are not confined to the Words of any Man in 
 cur public Solemnities. 
 
 The while Bock is written in four*$orts of 
 Metre, and fitted to the molt common Tunes. 
 I have feldom permitted a Srop in the Middle of 
 a Line, and feldom left the End of a Line without: 
 one, to comport a little with the uahappy Mix- 
 ture of Reading and Singing, which cannot pre- 
 fently be refoimed. The Metaphors are gene- 
 rally funk to the Level of vulgar Capacities. I 
 have aimed at Eafe of Numbers, and Smoothnefs 
 of Sound, and endeavoured to make the Senfe 
 plain and obvious. If the Verfe appears Co gentle 
 and flowing as to incur theCenfure of Feeblenefs, 
 1 may honeftly affirm, that fcmeiimes it coft me 
 Labour to make it fo : Some of the Beauties of 
 Poefy are neglected, and fome wilfully defaced : 
 I have thrown out the Lines that were too fono- 
 rous, and have given an Allay to the Verfe, led 
 a mere exalted Turn of Thought or Language, 
 fhould darken or difturb the Devotion of the 
 weakelt Souls. But hence it comes to pafs, that 
 I have been forced to lay affde many Hymns after 
 A 4 they 
 
viii The PREFACE. 
 
 they were finifhed, and utterly exclude them 
 from this Volume, becaule of the bolder Figure 
 of Speech that crouded themfelves into the Verfe, 
 and a more unconfined Variety of Number, which 
 I could not eafily refirain. 
 
 Thefe, with many other Divine and Moral 
 Compofures, are now printed in a fecond Edition 
 of the Poems, intituled, Hera Lyrica\ for as in 
 that Book 1 have endeavoured to pleafe and profit 
 the politer Part of Mankind, without offending 
 the plainer Sort of Chriftians, fo in this it has 
 been my Labour to pi omote the pious Entertain- 
 ment of Souls truly ferious, even of the meaneft 
 Capacity, and at the fame Time (if poiTible) not 
 to give Difguft to Perfons of richer Senfe, and 
 nicer Education ; and I hope, in the prefent Vo- 
 lume, this End will appear to be purfued with 
 much greater Happine/s than in the firft Impref- 
 fion of it, though the World allures me the for- 
 mer has not much Reafon to complain. 
 
 The whole is divided into three Books. 
 
 In the Firftt I have borrowed the Senfe, and 
 much of the Form of the Song from fome par- 
 ticular Portions of Scripture, and have para- 
 phrafed moft of the Doxologies in the New 
 Teftament that contain any Thing in them pe- 
 culiarly Evangelical j and many Parts of the Old 
 Testament alfo, that have a Reference to tfac 
 Times of the Mej/iab. In thefe I expedf. tc be 
 often cenfured for a too religious Observance of 
 the Words of Scripture, whereby the Ve: fe is 
 weakened and debafed, according to the Judg- 
 ment of the Criticks: But as my whole Defign 
 was to aid the Devotion of Chriftians, fo more 
 efpecialiy in this Part : And I am fatisfied I mall 
 hereby apain two Ends, <vh&. aflift the Worfnip 
 of all ferious Minds, to whom the Exprefllons of 
 Scripture are ever dear and delightful, and gra- 
 tify 
 
Tie P R E F A C E. « 
 
 tify theTafteand Inclination of rhofe, whc I 
 nothing muft be fung unto God bur the Tj 
 tions of his own Word. Yet you will a!wa\ 
 in this Paraphrafe, dark ExpreiTions enlighten- 
 ed, and the Levitical Ceremonies, and H< 
 Forms of Speech, changed into the Worfnip or 
 the Gofpej, and explained in the Language cf 
 our Time and Nation j and what would not bear 
 fuch an Alteration, is omitted, and laid allde. 
 After this Manner mould I rejoice to fee a good 
 Fart of the Book of Pfaims fitted for the I 
 our Churches, and Dai-id con verted into a C hn- 
 ftian : But becaufe I cannot perfuade others to 
 attempt this glorious Work, I have fuffefed my- 
 felf to be perfumed to begin it, and have, through 
 Divifte Goodnefs, already proceeded half Way 
 through. 
 
 The Second Part con (ids of Hymns, wfcofe 
 Form is of mere human Composures, but I hope 
 the Senfe and Mateiials will always appear Di- 
 vine. I might have brought fo me Text ( r other, 
 and applied it to the Margin of every Veife, if 
 this Method had been as ufeful as it was eafy. It 
 there be any Poems in the Book that are capable 
 of giving Delight to Perfons of a more refined 
 Taite and polite Education, perhaps they may be 
 found in this Part; but except they lay &fide the 
 Humour of Criticifm, and enter into a o 
 Frame, every Ode here already defpairs of plea- 
 fing. I con re s myfelf to have been Ho often 
 tempte-d away from the more Spiritual Def.gns I 
 propofed, by fome gay and flowery ExprefTions 
 that gratified the Fancy ; the bright Images too 
 often prevailed above the Fire of Divine A flec- 
 tion ; and the Light exceeded the Heat : Yet I 
 hope, in many of them the Reader will find that 
 Devotion didfated the Song, and the Head and 
 Hand were nothing but Interpreters and Secreta- 
 A 5 
 
* T:h P R E F A C £, 
 
 rie* to the Jleart : Nor is the Magnificence or- 
 Boldnefs of the Figures comparable to that Di- 
 xine Licence, which is found in the i8th and 
 68th Pfalms,, feveral Chapters of Job, and other 
 Poetical Parts of Scripture : And in this Kefpect 
 I may hope to et'cape the Reproof of thofe who 
 pay a facred Reverence to the Bible. 
 
 I have prepared the Third Part only for the 
 Celebration of the Lord's Supper, that, in Imi- 
 tation of our BleiTed Saviour, we might fmg an 
 Hymn after we have partaken of the Bread and 
 Wine. Here you will find fome Paraphraf s of 
 Scripture, and fome other Ccmpofitions. There 
 are above One Hundred Hymns in the two for- 
 mer Parts, that may very properly be ufed in this 
 Ordinance, and fometimes perhaps appear more 
 fuitable than any of thefe )aft j but there are Ex- 
 preflions generally ufed in thefe, which confine 
 them only to the Table of the Lord, and there- 
 fore I have diftinguilhed and fet them by them- 
 felves. 
 
 If the LORD, who inhabits the Praifes of 
 Ifraely (hall refufe to fmile upon this Attempt 
 tor the Reformation of Pfalmody amongft the 
 Churches, yet I humbly hope that his blefTed 
 Spirit will make thefe Compofures vifeful to> 
 private Chriftians; and if they may but attain 
 the Honour of being efteemed pious Medita- 
 tions, to affift the devout and the retired Sow! in 
 the Exercifes of Love, Faith and Joy, it will be 
 a valuable Compensation of my Labours : My 
 Heart flia.ll rejoice at the Notice of it, and my 
 Cod fhal.l receive the Glory. This was my Hope 
 and Vow in the firft publication \ and it is now 
 my Duty to acknowledge to him, with Thankful- 
 ness, how ufeful he has made thefe Compofitions 
 already, to the Comfort and Edification of Socie- 
 ties, 3,nd of pi ivate Perfons : And upon the fame 
 
 Grounds 
 
Tbi P R E F A C E. xi 
 
 Grounds I have a better Profpecl, and a bigger 
 Hope or' much more Service to the Church, by 
 the hrge Improvements of this Edition, if the 
 Lord, who dwells in Sion, fhall favour it with his 
 continued BleiTmg.

 Their Envy buried in the Duft j 
 They have no Share in all thafs done 
 Beneath the Circuit of the Sun.]

 Since no Device, nor Work Is found, 
 
 Nor Faith, nor Hope, beneath the Ground,

 In the cold Grave to which we hafte ; 
 But Darknefs, Death, and leng Defpair, 
 Reign in eternal Silence there.

 A D VERT: I S E ME NT \ 
 
 Concerning the Second Edition. 
 
 THERE are aim oft 150 new Hymns added, 
 and one or more Anted to every Theme 
 and Suhjeci in Divinity. Having f'cuftd by Con- 
 verfe with Chriitians,* what Words or Lines in 
 the former made them lefs ufeful, I have not 
 only made various Corrections in them, but 
 have endeavoured to avoid the fame Mi ft a Ices 
 in all the new Compofmes. Ami whereas many 
 of the former were too particularly adapted to 
 fpecial Frames and Seafons of the Chriftian Life, 
 almoft all that are added have a more general 
 and cxtenfive Senfe, and may be aflhmed and 
 lung by meft Perfons m a worihipping Con- 
 gregation. 
 
 2. About 14 or 15 Pfalms that were trnnflated 
 in the firft Edition are left out in this, becaufe 
 i intend (if God afford Life and Afiiftance) to 
 convert the biggeft Part of the Book of Pfalms 
 -into Spiritual Songs, for the Ufe of Chriftians. 
 
 3. In all the longer Hymns, and in fome of 
 the Shorter, there are feveral Stanza's included 
 in Crotchets, thus [] ; which Stanza's may be 
 le/t out in Singing, without difturbing the Senfe. 
 Thole Parts are alio included in fuch Crotchets, 
 which contain Words too poetical for meaner 
 Undemanding, or toe particular for whole Con- 
 gregations to fing. But after all, it is beft in 
 public Piklmody Miuifter to chufe the 
 
 particular
