the leact whiche he syngeth though his disposition inclineth to the contrary So that by this meane we shall not winne that commoditie but manye other commodities as we shall for example reherse First the prophet Dauid wrote not onely of thinges that were to come but he disputeth of these visible creatures of the inuisible forme of the firmament Now if peraduenture thou desirest to be taught whether this firmament shal stand firmely in that same state that it is of now or no will not Dauid straightway aunswer thee and saie The heauens shall waxe olde as doth a garment and thou O Lord shalt chaunge them as a vesture for they shall be transposed Also if thou desirest to heare of the facion of the heauens by him maist thou vnderstand it writing thus I stretcht out the heauens like a curtayne Beside this if thou wouldest knowe further of the backehalfe of the heauens he shall say to thee whiche couerest the vppermost partes of heaueÌ„s with waters And yet is he not content to rest here but maketh mention of the bredth therof declaryng that both sides be of equall distance sayeng How much the East is from the West so farre hath he put our sinnes from vs. And as hie as the heauen is from the earth the Lorde hath so largely confirmed his mercy on them that feare him Furthermore yf thou wouldest searche for the foundation of the earthe thou canst not bee ignoraunt thereof when thou hearest him say For he hath found the earth vpon the seas Also if thou desirest to know the cause of the earthquakes thou mayst vnderstand it by him when he singeth thus Who beholdeth the erth and maketh it to tremble so that now of this thing he putteth thee quite out of doubt Moreouer if thou longest to know the course of the nighte euen of him maist thou haue this knowledge In the night saith he all the beastes of the woode haue their walke and to what vse the hils were made he also telleth it thee The hie hils he appointed for hartes and hyndes And wherfore the stony rockes serue that he describeth also sayeng The cliffes and rockes be the couert to conies And why the vnfruitefull trees be there growing there sayth he shall the sparowes build their nestes Why moreouer water springes be flowing in wildernes thus he sheweth By them will the beasts of the field haue their abiding Also to know why wine serueth not for to drinke onely seeyng that water mighte supplye that want aboundantly but for this entent to make the more mery and ioconde Wyne sayth he maketh glad the hart of maÌ„ wherby thou mayst consider how far forth wine should goe in lawfull vse Furthermore of him mayest thou heare howe â—oules and sauage beastes be nourished They all O Lord set their eyes to thee that thou shouldest geue them meate in due season And if thou askest a reason of the creation of thy household beastes he will answer thee that these also were created for thy sake sayeng thus Who bringeth forth grene herbe and grasse for beastes to the seruice of man Why the Moone is nedefull Heare of his worde Who made the Moone for distinctions of tymes How beside all thinges visible and inuisible were made he sheweth it clearely thus He sayde the worde and made they were He commaunded and by and by they were created And that there shall be once a discharge from continuall dyeng he teacheth thee after this sorte God haue deliuered my soule from the power of death when he shal take me vnto him Furthermore he enformeth vs whence this our body had his originall thus I am saythe he in good remembraunce that I am dust and earth and shall returne agayne to my dust wheÌ„ce I sprong Furthermore that all things were created for thy sake thus he sayth Thou hast crowned him O Lord with honour and glory and set him vppe ouer the workes of thy handes And what similitude we mortall men haue with aungels thus he sheweth it Thou hast abased him somewhat lower then the state of aungels Also what loue almightie God beareth to vs thus he doth expresse it Like as a father pitieth his children euen so hath the Lorde compassion on all them which feare him What is layd vp for vs for hereafter and what rest we shall haue in the ende of this life thus he certifieth vs. Returne O my soule into thy rest and quiet Furthermore why the heaueÌ„s be of so huge compasse he sheweth thus the cause The heauens set out to sight the glorye of God Why the night and day were made he telleth this also not to geue light onely and rest but beside this to instructe vs. There is sayth he no language or woordes in them and yet their voyces be heard Finally in what maner God doth walke in his compasse both on sea and land he describeth it as the epistle to the Hebrewes auoucheth the same The deepe is as his garment Thus taking a tast of those thinges that be said before ye may coniesture other thinges higher and greater that is to say of Christ of his resurrection of the ioyes and paines to come of inordinate affections of lawes and such other so that ye cannot resort to Dauids bookes but ye shall cary thence innumerable riches For if thou shouldest fall into any heauines or into any euill affection of minde these psalmes wil much auaile to thy comforte If thou be sliden into sinne there shalte thou finde many salues to restore thee if thou beest ouerladen with pouertie or with any aduersitie in them shalt thou see to appeare many restfull hauens for thy refuge if thou be in state of righteousnes there maiest thou finde howe to keepe thee in suertie therof if thou be in state of sinne there shalt thou be put in much hope to be pardoned if thou sufferest many displesures for righteousnes sake thou shalte heare Dauid confesse thus For thy sake O Lord am I as daily appointed to death and againe We be esteemed as sheepe prepared to the slaughter all these thinges saith he be come on vs and yet we haue not forgotteÌ„ thee but if thou shouldst waxe proude by the sight of thy good deedes thou shalt heare him pray Enter not O lord into iudgement with thy seruauntes for no man on liue can be iustified before thy sight and thus straightway shalt thou bee wonne to follow humilitie Yea furthermore if thou hast committed any thing wherof thou mightst take dispaire thou shalt heare him oftentimes to sing This day if ye heare his voyce harden not your hartes the hearing wherof will soone resolue the soule into repentance Beside all this though thou were a king gloriously crowned and therwith hawtie and proude yet there shalt thou learne this That a king is not saued for all his valiauntnes nor the Gyant is in safetie by his great power and mighte and so by this meane thou shalt be abated in thy pride If thou flowest in
asswage and release them agayne by a soft kinde of harmonie at his will and pleasure Of whom it is writteÌ„ that when he had at a tyme before Alexander sung the Phrigian harmonie he excited him as he was at supper to runne to warre and again by his most gentle and easie harmonie brought hym again to the table among his gestes Such strenght vertue is set in the true vse of musike As Pithagoras once by chance was in coÌ„pany among a sort of wantoÌ„ drunken folke wherupon he bad the mynstrell to change his song to rebuke their dissolute wantonnes with playeng to them the Dorian harmonie by which musike they were cast so in a shame of theÌ„selfe that they threw from theÌ„ their garlands fled home all confused for their lightnes where before by the harmonie he played they raged in fury as men out of their wittes So muche auaileth it to haue our eares filled with vertuous or vitious songes wherefore I would yong men should haue so little a do with such songes of musike as nowe a dayes be moste set by as they would with any thing most monstruous and vicious ye let them ensue that other kinde of musicall songes muche better then the other and stirreth vs to better thinges I meane that was vsed of Dauid the Poete of holye songes by whiche he pacified the mynde of Saule when he was in his raging fury ¶ That the whole multitude of the church sang their Psalmes together testifieth S.
