Cathedral music with Organs.
Cathedrall musick with Organs.
2. The first question was, If the Primitive Church had such chanting Idol-service, as is in out Cathedral Churches? The Rejoinder after some words spent about singing, (about which he bringeth not the least resemblance of that in question, until the fourth age after Christ) excepteth first, that Organall music was gods ordinance in the old Testament, and that not significant, or typical; and therefore is sinfully called Idol-service. 2. That all men whose hearts are not averse, by distraction, stupidity, or prejudice, feel such music to work much upon their affections. To this I say 1. that his denying of Organall music to have been significant or typical, is without reason, and against the current of our Divines; taken (as it may seem) out of Bellarmine de missa. lib. 2. cap. 15.) who useth this evasion against ⟨p. 405⟩those words of P. Martyr: Musical organs pertain to the Jewish Ceremony, and agree no more to us, then Circumcision. So that we may neglect it, and take him as saying, that nothing which was ordained in the old Testament (no not sacrificing of beasts) is now an Idol-service. 2. For that, and the other, both together, it is fit the Rejoinder should be put in mind how many, and what kind of men, he accuseth of distraction, stupidity, or prejudice!
