Psalterium Americanum. The Book of Psalms, in a translation exactly conformed unto the original; but all in blank verse. : Fitted unto the tunes commonly used in our churches. Which pure offering is accompanied with illustrations, digging for hidden treasures in it; and rules to employ it upon the glorious and various intentions of it. : Whereunto are added, some other portions of the sacred Scripture, to enrich the cantional.
Boston: printed by S. Kneeland for B. Eliot, 1718

16 For some Atrocious Crimes [like Davids] there was no Sacrifice directed or allowed in the Law of Moses. But now see Acts XIII. 39. All that believe are justified from all things.
17 The Sacrifices were first out in pieces (not mangled ⟨p. 128⟩but Jointed.) That was their Breaking. They were then burnt to Ashes. That was their Contrition.
Repentance has in it something Analogous.
But let us away, to our glorious Messiah as often as we can! The special Character which the Oracles of God put on the Messiah coming to be a Sacrifice for sin, is that of The Bruised One. Yea, the very first time that ever the Messiah was mentioned in the World, His being Bruised was the main thing spoken of. Be sure the Messiah was one of a Broken Spirit, a Broken and a Contrite Heart. Never such heart breaking things undergone by any one! At last his very Spirit was broken from his Body; the Vital Union was broken. Behold the Sacrifice which the Psalmist has his Eye and his Hope upon.
