I. Where is now the Christian, that will utter Songs in the Night? As it was demanded; ⟨p. 132⟩Judg. 5. 12.

None do so well understand the Psalms, as the Saints that are in Affliction. And the Saints have often professed, There are some Psalms, they never did understand, until they came into Affliction. Wherefore, let not that Injunction, Is any cheerful? Let him Sing Psalms; be Exclusive of this Instruction; If any are grieved, why should not they also Sing Psalms? Those Christians, that in their Afflictions, will find out Psalms agreeable to the Afflictions, and Sing them unto the Lord, will doubtless, find the Harp of David gloriously chasing away every Evil Spirit, that shall go to Trouble them with making their Night of Trouble to seem Darker than it is. Yea, and those Families, that join Psalms ⟨p. 133⟩unto their Prayers, at Night, in their course of Devotions, will doubtless bring such Offerings as Heaven is greatly delighted in.
