ABSTRACT

Who hath tuned God and man, the organ we; The songs are these, which heaven’s high holy Muse Whispered to David, David to the Jews; And David’s successors, in holy zeal, In forms of joy and art do re-reveal To us so sweetly and sincerely too, That I must not rejoice as I would do When I behold that these Psalms are become So well attired abroad,15 so ill at home, So well in chambers,16 in thy Church so ill, As I can scarce call that reformed, until This be reformed;17 would a whole state present A lesser gift than some one man hath sent?
