5. It will be a great supper for the music. This will be a marriage-supper, and what better music than the Bridegrooms voice? saying, my Spouse, my undefiled, Take thy fill of love; there will be the Angels Anthems*, The Saints triumphs; the Angels those trumpeters of heaven shall sound forth the excellencies of Jehovah; and the Saints those noble Queristers shall take down their harps from the willows, and join in consort with the Angels, ⟨p. 128⟩praising and blessing God. Rev. 15.2, 3. I saw them that had gotten the victory over the Beast, having the Harps of God, and they sing the song of Moses, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and marvellous are thy works, Lord God Almighty, just and true are thy ways thou King of Saints, &c. O the sweet harmony at this Feast, it shall be Music without discord.
