This song is a song of victory,1 such a one as Moses sang when Pharaoh was drowned: and as Hanna the mother of Samuel made by the inspiration of the holy ghost, when she had brought forth Samuel: and such a one as the Maidens of the Jews openly sang in companies of players and dancers after the victory of David against Goliath. And in like manner in the new Testament, Mary, Zechariah, and Simeon gave thanks to god in their songs. The Ethnics also when they had obtained victories, were wont to appoint supplications for certain days, which in deed was nothing else, than to give thanks unto God. Wherefore being moved with the occasion of this place, I think it good somewhat to speak of Songs and Music, as much as belongeth to piety. First, from whence they had their beginning, and to what end they were instituted. Secondly, whither they may be kept in the Churches. Lastly, what kind of songs and measures are profitable and healthful.

The Ethnikes also when they had obtayned victories, were wont to appoynt supplications for certayne dayes, which in deede was nothing els, than to geue thankes vnto God. Wherefore being moued with the occasion of this place, I thinke it good somewhat to speake of Songes and Musicke, as much as belongeth to piety. Fyrste, from whence they had their beginning, and to what ende they were instituted. Secondlye, whither they may be kept in the Churches.
