And the praise or thanks giving of the heavenly saints he hath called a new song,1 which in the Scriptures is no new thing. For the Saints say, that they will singe in Earth unto God a new song, Psalm .xxxiii.xcvi.xcviii.cxliiii. Isaiah .xlij. And new songs be called these new ballads or verses in meter, which are made of some new benefit or noble act done. And because the mind of man is delighted greatly with new benefits, they sing a new song, which with a joyful mind praise GOD, and give him thanks with their inward affections. Finally they sing a new song, which with purified minds and renewed with the Spirit do laud GOD: which thing was chiefly given to those heavenly Saints. Whereof we learn again how it behoveth our minds to be affected and furnished in the prayers and praises of GOD. This same, sayeth Aretas, ⟨p. 172⟩I call a new song, by whose benefit we, which being lighted in all parts of the earth, departing from the antiquity of the law written, and walking in the newness of life, are taught by the holy ghost to singe a giving of thanks.
And the praise or thankes geuing of the heauenly sainctes he hath called a newe songe,1 whiche in the Scriptures is no newe thynge. For the Sainctes saye, that they will singe in Earth vnto God a newe songe, Psalm .xxxiii.xcvi.xcviii.cxliiii. Esaye .xlij. And newe songes be called these newe balades or verses in meter, whyche are made of some newe benefite or noble acte done. And because the minde of manne is delighted greately with newe benefites, they synge a newe songe, whyche with a ioyefull mynde prayse GOD, and geue him thankes with theyr inwarde affections. Finallye they synge a newe songe, whiche wyth purified myndes and renewed with the Spirite doe laude GOD: whiche thynge was chiefely geuen to those heauenly Sainctes. Whereof we learne agayne howe it behoueth our mindes to be affected and furnisshed in the prayers and prayses of GOD. This same, sayeth Aretas, ⟨p. 172⟩
