The doctrine of instituted churches explained and proved from the word of God

As the Church of Israel were wont to Sing the Psalms of David, so (tho we are not forbidden to Sing Psalms of a private composure) it is Lawful for us to Sing the Psalms of David and other Scripture Psalms, the Apostle when he directs us to Sing Psalms, Hymns and Spiritual Songs, Eph. Col. 3. Hath a manifest respect to the division of Davids Psalms, some things in those Psalms are not so suitable to our present Case, so it is in what we read, yet those Psalms are very suitable for us to meditate upon; and contain in them much Instruction and Encouragement, and because they were indicted by the Spirit of God, are more proper to affect our hearts and excite the workings of Grace, then such as are of a private Composure.

A third part of Worship is the Preaching and Teaching of the Word; the Preaching of the Word is to be attended to the End of the World, Matth. 28.19.20. It is the Duty of Ministers to Preach the Word, 2 Tim. 4.2. A Minister is called a Preacher, Rom. 12.14. This is a special means to advance the Conversion of Sinners and Edification of Saints.
