And in the Days of Job, who is Thought to have lived before Moses, those Instruments of Music which served to rejoice and cheer up Men's hearts At their Feasts, Job 21.12. God Thought fit to Consecrate to a Religious Ʋse, and made them Instruments of much Honour to his Church, and much Devotion to his People, Dr. Hickman Conc in Psalm 100. 1. p. 14.

I might here mention the Hymns of the Blessed Virgin, of Zacharias, and of Simeon, Luke 1 and 2d Chapters. And what is said, in the opinion of Socrates, concerning St. Ignatius (who was supposed to be the Child, which our Saviour took and set in the midst before his Disciples, when he said Matth. 18.3. Except ye be converted, and become as little Children, ye shall not enter into the Kingdom of Heaven. ) That 'twas he who first brought the Alternate way of Singing into the Christian Church, having learnt this from a Vision of Angels, thereby concluding the better to stir up one anothers Affections, and coming nearer to the Heavenly Pattern, where the Seraphims cry one to another, Holy, Holy, Holy Lord God of Hosts, Isai. 6.3. S•cr. Hist. Eccles. l. 6. c. 8 Dr. Comber 's Companion to the Temple, Part 2. § 8. And of the famous St. Ambrose, who added most melodious and artificial Singing to the Divine Service, in the Church of Milan, whereof he was Bishop; and this way among the rest; which soon after was propagated to others. He it was, who composed the most Seraphick Hymn, which is in the Church, called the Te De•m, in Honour of the Blessed Trinity; which noble Strains, 'tis thought, he received down by Tradition from the Compositions of the Apostles, or some other Primitive Christians, who were inspired with the Gift of Singing. And for that reason have we such frequent mention made of their Singing to and Praising God, with Spiritual Songs and Hymns, in the first and purest Ages of Christianity, when they were so unfortunate as to be under the severest Persecution; And to that Infelicity alone we owe the want of Instrumental Musick to help out and exalt their Devotion. And Pliny, giving an account to the Emperour Trajan, of the Christians, says, Hanc fuisse summam vel Culpae vel Erroris Christianorum, quod essent soliti, stato die, ante Lucem convenire, Carmenque Christo, quasi De• dicere secum Invicem, Lib. 10. Ep. 97. de Christianis. It will be too tedious to mention what great things are spoken concerning the Singing among the first of Christians, both by the Greek and Latin Fathers, St. Chrysostom, St. Basil, Just. Martyr, St. Augustine, Tertullian, &c. And that the grave and plain Tune to the Psalms, now retained in our Cathedral Churches, was set by Gregory the Great, who flourished about the end of the Sixth Century; a man very diligent in regulating and accomplishing all the Publick Offices of the Church, whom none of his Successors ever equalled, Platina de Vit. Pontif. Greg. 1. — many other Authorities are reckoned up by the Bishop of Cork, in his Duty of Singing, &c. And I know not, why I might not with them, mention the Authority of the Worthies of our own Age, the great Lights of the English Church, Hooker, Hammond, and others, who were men of as great Learning and Piety as they, and why not of as great Authority among us, concerning that other way of Singing, with the Instruments of Musick, joyned to their Voices? If this be Ceremonial, why not the other? and both be abolished, or neither.

'Tis to be noted, That the Assembly refer the meaning of this Psalm to those two places of the Apostle, Ephes. 5.19. Col. 3.16. where they farther say, It seemeth most probable, that by Psalms, he means the Psalms of David set to the Harp or Psaltery; by Hymns, certain Ditties made upon special occasions; and by Spiritual Songs, such as were not Composed before hand, and Prickt before them with Musical Notes, but such as men endited by an extraordinary Gift. — And Mr. Pool 's Annot. on Ephes. 5.19. Most take Psalms to be such as anciently were sung with Musical Instruments.

The Musick of Orpheus and Amphion, had influence upon Fishes and Beasts. Sir William Temple 's fourth Essay upon Poetry. The Powers of Musick (says he) are either felt or known by all men, and are allowed to work strangely upon the Mind and the Body, the Passions and the Blood, to raise Joy and Grief, to give Pleasure and Pain, to cure Diseases, and the mortal Sting of the Tarantula, to give motions to the Feet, as well as the Heart, to compose disturbed Thoughts, to assist and heighten Devotion it self, Ibid. p. 288. The Tarantula is a most venomous Spider, some say a Fly, so called from Tarantum, a Neapolitan City, where they most abound, whose Sting is deadly, yet curable by divers Sounds of Musick, Sand 's Travels, fol. 249. I appeal to the Experience of Dissenters, whether they are not much affected, and think themselves edified with the pleasing Tone and Cadencies and Elevations of the Voice of their Preachers? and then, Whether they might not be assisted with the sweeter Sounds of Musical Instruments?
