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.

5 Munster so reads it, Nemo est qui ea ordinat ad te. The Benefits of Heaven, are not ordered by Men as they should, and subordinated unto the Glory and Service of GOD.
6 Mine Ear hast thou bored, is, q. d. Thou hast made me thy Servant. The Service which the Son of GOD was to do for His Eternal Father, could not be done without a Body. The Clause is with much wisdom rendered in the New-Testament, A Body hast thou prepared for me. The Servant was to have part of his Body, his Ear fastened with Iron to a Post. So was the Body of our SAVIOUR, to the Cross. Yea, the Hebrew Word signifies, Apparare, as well as, Perforare. And Ozen, may signify a Body as well as an Ear. Moreover, the Greek Word [Greek or Hebrew], which we render, a Body, is continually used by the Jewish Writers, to signify, A Servant. So in the Books of the Apocrypha and Josephus.
