11. Psalms are sung for Instruction. We instruct one another in this service; this duty is for Spiritual and mutual Edification: As a Learned man well observes, That knowledge we acquire from the Scriptures, we draw out in this duty for our brother's edification: We edify our brother by singing as well as by speaking; by warbling forth the Word in Holy Singing, as well as by urging and pressing the Word in Holy Discourse: A Proclamation is never the less authentical because it is proclaimed by sound of Trumpet; the Tune only accents the Matter. Clemens Alexandrinus well observes, There is an appetite in good persons to strengthen their brethren; and this may be done in singing as well as in other Ordinances.
