TO THE 
 
 READER 
 
 MX Vifign in this Effp is to 
 Promote the Singing of Pfalms 
 in Families, as a part of tbeir 
 Daily Worthy, effccuhy their 
 Sabbath IForfiip; an Exemfe which {how- 
 ever it be now with other Inftancesef the 
 warmeft Devotion fadly difusd, yet) was 
 antiently ftaUifed by the generality of friouf 
 Christians, who thus tunid their Houjes 
 into Churches, (fuch Churches as St. Paul 
 freaks of Rom. 16. 5- Coloii. 4- *5- 
 Philem. 2.) by fraifing God together and 
 by teaching and admonijhmg one another in 
 Singing of Pf alms. If we ask for »* g ood 
 Old Way, we (hall find this Path in it 
 trodden by the Primitive Chriftians m the 
 Church s early Days ; among the particu- 
 lars of whofe Religion, that Learned Pen 
 which wrote the Primitive Chrittianity, 
 traceth remarkable Footflcfs of this Fami- 
 ly-Exercife, Part 1. Chap. <?. %bt Jound

 of this Melody was not only heard in their 
 Solemn AJfemblies, where it appears by ma- 
 ny Pajjfages (particularly that known Ac- 
 count which Pliny gives to Trojan of the 
 Chriflians, Epift. 1. io.J to have been a 
 confiderable part of their Publick Worjhip, 
 but in their Private Houfs alp, where it 
 feems to have been the common Vfage to 
 Sing Pfalms with their Wives and Chil- 
 dren, efpecially at and after their Meals ; 
 a praVnfe commended by Clemens Alex- 
 anarinus, Psedag. Lib. 2. c. 4. by Chry- 
 foftom in Pfal. 41. which made the Pfalms 
 fo familiar to them, that, as Jerom tells 
 us (Epift. ad Marcel.) in the place where 
 he livd you could not go into the Field

 Mowers, and the Vine-dreffers thus em"

 ing) was but the remaining Form and 
 Larcafs of that Life and Power of Codli- 
 nefs and Religious Worjhtp which had 0- 
 nginally reigrfd in mo\\ Chrijiian Families. 
 That's a good hint of Tcrtullian^ in his 
 Rook,, ad Uxorem, (written about the 
 Tear 205O Lib. 2. Cap. p. Where cau- 
 tioning Chrijiian Women not to Marry with 
 Vnbelievers, he urgeth this againji it, that 
 thofe whe were jb linl(d^ could not have 
 their Husbands to Sing Pfalms with them 
 in their Houfes ; whereas, whn thofe in 
 that Relation draw together in the Tofe of 
 Chriji^ Sonant inter duos Pfalmi 6c

 our own T'ayu that is worthy our notice 
 which Mr. Cuick in thz Introduction to

 the Sviging of Pfalms in Families, even 
 thofe of the bejt Rank 'net only at thai

 Old Protejiants were ferfumd with this 
 Incenfe daily, cfpecial/y on Lord y s-Days, 
 we have heard with our Ears, and our 
 Fathers have told us. Gladly therefore 
 would I contribute fomething towards the 
 revival of this Duty in Chnftian Families , 
 which, if they he (as they fhould he) Nur- 
 feries and Seminaries of Piety, would cer- 
 tainly embrace this as an excellent means 
 cf. infilling Religion betimes into the Minds 
 of their little Children, who, as they com- 
 monly attend moft to this Vuty, Jo they 
 will fooner receive the good Imprcjfions of 
 it* than of any other ; and thus out of the 
 Mouths of Babes and Sucklings will Praife

 What Jhall I fay then to perfwade 
 Mafters of Families, who have hitherto 
 neglected their Duty, to begin it now ? Bet- 
 ter late than never. The Experience of ma- 
 ny that wake Confcience of it, will teftifie 
 both thefweetnefs and profit of it. If'Pjalms I 
 were more Sung in Families, they would 
 be better Sung in Congregations. Let none ' 
 plead want of time as their Fxcufe ; for 
 how can time be fpent better than in praifing 
 Cod ? And is there not a great deal of our 
 precious Hours thrown away every Day 
 upon other things that are hj's ta the pur- 
 pofe of a Christian ? Nor will there be 
 room for this Pretence, if care be taken not 
 to defer Family Worftrip too late, either 
 Morning or Kvening, Jo as to crowd it 
 into a Corner, (as many do by a Thoufand 
 Impertinences) as likgwifefo to proportion the 
 other parts of the Duty, that they may 
 not jujile out this. It is the Wifdom of 
 Maficrs of Families, fo to manage their Fa- 
 mily JVorjhip, that they may make it OS 
 much as poffible a Pleafure* and not a 
 Task, to their Children and Servants. Kor 
 let want of Skill be an Excxfe ; there mav 
 ach of acceptable Ajfeftion, where there 
 appears but little nfArt. Plain Songs beft 
 befit} plain IJraelites. A frail degree of 
 SkUl (and that eafily attain d by

 Management of this T)uty Decently and 
 in Order, and more there needs not ; for 
 in -private Families the quickj-ji way of 
 Singing feems to be mofi agreeable ; fuch 
 1 Singing as the Great Athanaiius appointed 
 in the Church of Alexandria, ut pronun- 
 cianti vicinior eifet quam canenti, more 
 like Reading than Singing. So Auftin tells 
 us, Confeff. Lib. 10. Cap. 33. and ap^ 
 proves of it as a good Means to pre ferve 
 that Spiritual Delight which jhould be in 
 this Ordinance, from degenerating into a 
 fenfitive Pleafure, which it is apt to do 
 when Tunes and Notes are overmuch jlu- 
 dy*d and affMed, and the Ear tickled with 
 them. 
 
 Nor let any be afraid that their Neigh- 
 bours Jhould over-hear them : We ferve a 
 Majier that we have no reafon to be alhamd 
 of to whom we have engaged, that what- 
 ever others do, we and our Houfes will 
 ferve him ; and wbofe hold is fo great 
 of the Conferences, even of bad M,n, that

 a Liberty which is often takgn by the
