AN ANSWER To Mr. Marlow's APPENDIX.
First of all you tell us, That to praise God, or praising of God, is not confined to Songs of Praise; but that there are other ways and manner of praising of him than such melodious Singing.
FIrst of all you tell us, That to praise God, or praising of God, is not confined to Songs of Praise; but that there are other ways and manner of praising of him than such melodious Singing.
Answer. We never yet asserted there was no other way or manner to praise God, than by singing of his Praise. Nor is there a Man who affirms any such thing that I know of; but it is one thing to own those other ways of praising of God, and another thing for you utterly to deny this way, or the way we use in singing his Praise.
But I must tell you, most Learned Men, nay, all that I have met with, do conclude, the Disciples, or those Children you speak of Matth. 21. 16. Luke 19. 37. did sing those Hosanna's to the Son of David, as I have showed in the first Chapter of the foregoing Treatise.
