one_o or_o the_o other_o way_n more_o convenient_a nay_o the_o general_a rule_n of_o do_v all_o to_o edification_n may_v perhaps_o in_o some_o case_n oblige_v man_n to_o the_o one_o and_o in_o some_o

seem_v to_o allow_v this_o exposition_n p._n 42._o i_o need_v insist_v no_o far_o on_o it_o here_o and_o it_o be_v the_o more_o requisite_a to_o take_v notice_n of_o this_o way_n of_o praise_v god_n by_o thanksgiving_n without_o vocal_a melody_n because_o the_o bp._n seem_v to_o confound_v it_o with_o that_o other_o way_n of_o praise_v god_n with_o psalm_n and_o from_o which_o it_o be_v plain_o distinguish_v and_o this_o lead_v i_o to_o consider_v ii_o the_o praise_n the_o new_a testament_n require_v we_o to_o offer_v unto_o god_n by_o sing_v and_o what_o be_v to_o be_v thus_o sing_v we_o may_v learn_v from_o those_o 2_o passage_n of_o the_o ap._n paul_n cite_v by_o the_o bishop_n 5._o eph._n 19_o and_o 3_o col._n 16._o viz._n psalm_n hymn_n and_o spiritual_a song_n or_o ode_n on_o which_o passage_n i_o will_v make_v the_o follow_a remark_n i_o do_v full_o agree_v with_o the_o bishop_n that_o this_o passage_n of_o the_o apostle_n do_v warrant_v our_o use_n of_o the_o psalm_n of_o david_n in_o our_o public_a praise_n because_o it_o be_v high_o probable_a the_o word_n psalm_n refer_v to_o '_o they_o but_o then_o i_o must_v add_v it_o be_v no_o less_o probable_a that_o the_o apostle_n do_v by_o hymn_n and_o spiritual_a song_n intend_v other_o beside_o those_o of_o h._n david_n

in_o order_n or_o office_n as_o mr._n humphreys_n have_v large_o prove_v in_o a_o late_a book_n call_v the_o heal_n attempt_v we_o will_v humble_o desire_v they_o to_o use_v their_o interest_n that_o that_o unhappy_a clause_n may_v be_v raze_v out_o of_o the_o preface_n to_o the_o present_a book_n of_o ordination_n in_o which_o it_o be_v so_o peremptory_o assert_v that_o it_o be_v evident_a to_o all_o man_n diligent_o read_v the_o h._n scripture_n and_o ancient_a author_n that_o from_o the_o apostle_n time_n there_o have_v be_v these_o three_o order_n in_o christ_n church_n bishop_n priest_n and_o deacon_n that_o by_o three_o order_n they_o mean_v three_o office_n be_v plain_a from_o the_o very_a follow_a word_n which_o office_n be_v evermore_o have_v in_o such_o reverend_a estimation_n

have_v take_v the_o pain_n to_o make_v any_o impartial_a enquiry_n into_o this_o matter_n and_o we_o be_v the_o more_o desirous_a of_o have_v this_o clause_n raze_v out_o because_o this_o new_a
