CHAP. III. Propounding, and clearing the third Proofe, for singing Psalmes with a lively voyce.
A Third proof of this truth, is taken from the Prophecies of the old Testament, foretelling and persuading such a duty in the New, Isa. 52.8. with the voice together shall they sing. And that is foretold of the times, when the feet of the Messengers of glad tidings shall be beautiful, who shall say unto Zion, Thy God reigneth. Which Paul explaineth of the times of the Gospel, Rom. 10.14. Psal. 100.1. Make a joyful noise unto the Lord all ye Lands: and vers. 2. Come before his presence with singing. All ye lands, implieth the Nations of the Gentiles, as well as of the Jews; which pertaineth to the times of the New Testament; So that now all are exhorted to sing before the presence of God, with a loud noise or voice.
