But when they Bless GOD in their Congregations, they keep to such Psalms, as a Theodoret mentions as preferable in the Judgment of several of the Ancients, above any others: That is to say, Those ⟨p. 54⟩in our sacred Psalter, and some other Poetical Paragraphs, of the sacred Scriptures Versified.

The first Planters of New-England, were not long without a Version of the Davidical Psalms, and of several other Songs in both Testaments, made by the united Endeavours of several Persons. In this Version, the Poetry may indeed want refining; yet the nearness & closeness of the Translation unto the Original, may make some amends for other Defects. These holy Psalms by some Congregations are sung over in Order as they lie; (at least in the Psalmody for one part of the Day;) And in others, are sung, as the Minister singles them out, for to accommodate the Subjects and the Designs before him. How many may make Austin's Reflection; Quantum flevimus in Hymnis suavisonantis Ecclesiae!
