To this end undoubtedly ought Ecclesiastical songs to tend unto. To the Colossians also are written certain things not disagreeing from these. Let the word of the Lord (saith the Apostle) abound plentifully in you: teach and admonish ye one another in Psalms, Hymns, and spiritual songs, singing in your hearts with grace. By these words Paul expresseth two things. First, that our songs be the word of God, which must abound plentifully in us, and they must not serve only to giving of thanks, but also to teach and to admonish. And then it is added, with grace, which is thus to understand, as though he should have said, aptly and properly both to the senses, and to measure, and also unto the voices. Let them not sing rude and rustical things, neither let it be immoderately, as do the Tavern hunters. To the Corinthians the first Epistle the .xiiii. chapter where he entreateth of an holy assembly, the same Apostle writeth after this manner: When ye assemble together, according as every one of you hath a Psalm, or hath doctrine, or hath a tongue, or hath revelation, or hath interpretation, let all things be done unto edifying. By which words is declared that Singers of songs and Psalms had their place in the Church.1
To this ende vndoubtedly ought Ecclesiastical songes to tend vnto. To the Colossians also are written certaine thinges not disagreing from these. Let the woord of the Lord (sayth the Apostle) abound plentifully in you: teache and admonish ye one another in Psalmes, Hymnes, and spirituall songes, singing in your hartes with grace. By these woordes Paule expresseth two thinges. Fyrst, that our songes be the woord of God, which must abound plentifully in vs, and they must not serue onely to geuing of thankes, but also to teache and to admonish. And then it is added, with grace, which is thus to vnderstand, as though he should haue said, aptly and properly both to the senses, and to measure, and also vnto the voyces. Let them not syng rude and rusticall thinges, neither let it be immoderatly, as doo the Tauernhunters. To the Corrinthians the firste Epistle the .xiiii. chapter where he entreateth of an holy assemblye, the same Apostle writeth after this maner: When ye assemble together, according as euerye one of you hath a Psalme, or hath doctrine, or hath a toung, or hath reuelacion, or hath interpretation, let al thinges be done vnto edifieng. By which woordes is declared that Syngers of songes and Psalmes had their place in the Church.1
