And verily he hath here compiled the whole Hymn, said in the praise of God the revenger. He placeth foremost, Alleluia: 1after he annexeth the praises, Salvation and glory. &c. And Alleluia signifieth, praise ye the Lord. He useth a most common, and of all men best known in the primitive church. For certain Psalms have this title, Hallelujah. For the chanter so exhorted & stirred up the people, to praise God. ⟨p. 560⟩So after the same manner now also, the saints as it were con prising the argument of their song, say, Alleluia. And these vocables have more grace in ours and strange languages, than translated. So have remained in the church, Hosanna, Amen, Selah, Maranatha, and diverse others. Whereof also writeth S. Hierome to Marcella and Damasus.
