THE  HIGH  AND  MIGHTIE 

PRINCE,  Iames5  BY  THE  GRACE 

OF  GOD,  KING  OF  GREAT  Britaine, 
France  and  Ireland,  Defender  of 
the  Faith ,  &c :  Grace ,  Mercie ,  and 
Peace,  through  Iefus  Chrift 

our  Lord, 

Hefe  Hyrnnes  (Dread  Soueraigne)  hauing  diuem 
waies  recciucd  Jifefrom  your  MAIESTIE, 
fas  well  as  that  approbation  which  the  Church 
alloweth,)  arc  now  imprinted  according  to  your 
Royall  Priuiledge,  to  come  abroad  vnder  your 
Gracious  Protection  :  And  what  Ideliuered  vntd 
your  Princely  view  at  fcuerall  times,  I  here  pre- 
sent againe,  incorporated  into  one  VoIumne.The 
firft  Part  whereof  are  thofe  ancient  Canonicall  Hyrnnes,  which  were  writ* 
ten,andleft  for  our  inftruftion,  by  the  Holy  Ghoft :  And  thofe  are  not 
onely,  plainely,and  briefly  expreffed  in  Lyricke-verfe ;  but  by  their  fhort 
Prefaces,  properly  apply  ed  alfo  to  the  Churches  particular  Occafions  its 
thefe  Times.  Infomuch,  that  fhowfoeuer  fome  neglect  them  as  impertiV 
nent  J  it  is  thereby  apparent,  that  they  appertaine  no  leffe  to  rs,  then  vn> 
to  thofe,  in  whofe  times  they  were  firft  compofed. 

And  (if  the  conie&ure  of  many  good  and  learned  men  deceiue  them 
not)  the  latter  Part,  containing  Spiritual!  Sengs,  appropriated  to  the  fcue- 
rail  Times  and  Occafions  obferueable  in  the  Church  of  England,  (toge- 
ther with  briefe  Arguments ,  declaring  the  purpofc  of  thofe  Obferuatiem) 
flaall  become  a  meanes  both  of  encreafing  Knowledge,and  Chriftian  Con- 
formitie  within  your  Dominions  :  Which>no  doubt3your  MAIESTIE" 
wifely  forefaw ,  when  you  plcafed  to  graunt  and  commaund  ,  that  thefe 
Hyrnnes  fhould  be  annexed  to  all  Pfalme^Bookes  in  Englifh  Meeter.  And, 
I  hope,  you  (hall  thereby  encreafe  both  the  honour  of  God ,  and  of  your 
MAIESTIE.  For,thefe  Hyrnnes,  and  the  knowledge  which  they  ofFer, 

A  i  couli 


could  no  other  wzy  ,  with  fuch  certalntie,  andfo  little  inconucnience  \ 
be  conueyed  to  the  Common  people ,  as  by-  that  meanes  which  your 
MAIESTIE  hath gracioufly prouided. 

And  now  (maugre  their  malice,  who  labour  to  difparage  and  fupprefle 
thefe  Hclpes  to  Devotion)  they  (hall,  I  truft,  haue  free  fcope  to  workethat 
eflkd  which  is  defired ;  and  to  which  end  I  was  encouraged  to  Tranflate 
and  Compofe  them.  For,  how  meanely  foeuer  fome  may  thinke  of  this 
Endeuour ,  I  truft  the  fuccefle  (hall  make  it  appeare,that  the  Spirit  of  Cod 
was  firft  Moouer  of  the  Work* :  Wherein,  as  I  haue  endcuoured  to  make 
my  Exprefsians  luch  as  may  not  be  contemptible  to  men  of  beft  vnder- 
flandings  :  So  I  haue  alfo  laboured  to  fute  them  to  the  Nature  of  the  Sub- 
let, and  the  Common  peoples  capacities,  without  regard  of  catching 
the  vaine  blafts  of  opinion.  The  fame  alfo  hath  bcene  the  ayme  of  Ma- 
tter Orlando  Gibbons  (your  MAIESTIES  Seruant,  and  one  of  the 
Gentlemen  of  your  Honourable  Chappel!)  in  fitting  thera  with  Tunes. 
For ,  he  hath  chofen  to  make  his  Mufickc  agreeable  to  the  matter,  and 
what  the  Common  apprehenfion  can  beft  admit ,  rather  then  to  the  euri- 
ous  Fancies  of  the  Time  $  Which  path  both  of  vs  could  more  ca%  haue 
troden. 

Not  caring  therefore,  what  any  of  thofc  (hall  cenfiire ,  who  are  more 
apt  co  controule ,  then  to  confidcr ,  I  commit  this  to  Gods  blefsing  and 
Your fauourablc Protection;  Humbly befeeching your  MAIESTIE, 
to  accept  of  thefe  our  Endeuours ;  and  praying  God  to  fandifie  both  Vs 
and  this  Worke  to  His  glory  :  Wifhingalfo  (moft  vnfaincdly)  euerla- 
fiing  confolations  to  your  MAIESTIE,  (for  thofc  temporall  Com- 
forts yc«  haue  vouchsafed  me;  and  that  felicitie  here,  which  may  ad- 
vance Your  happinefle  in  the  life  to  come.  tAmen.

THE  FIRST  PART  OFTHE  HYMNES 

AND  SONGS  OF  THE  CHVRCH,  CONTAI- 
NING THOSE  WHICH  ARE  TRANSLATED 
out  of  the  €*mnicatl  Scripture,  together  with  fuch  other 
Hymnes  and  Crccdt ,  as  hauc  anciently  beenc  Tung  in 
the  Church  of  England* 

THE  PREFACE. 

Lainely  falfe  is  their  Suppofition*  who  cenceiue  that  the  hymnes  ,  Songs,  an  J  £f«gw  of  the 
Teflamtnt  are  impertinent  to  thefe  later  Ages  of  the  For,  neither  the  AclionSjnor  wri- 

tings of  the  Auncient  Ifraelittt ,  which  arc  recorded  by  the  Holy  Spirit ,  were  permitted  to  be 
done,  or  written  for  their  owne  fakes,  (o  much  as  that  they  might  be  profitable  to  warne  and 
inftrudtviof  the  latter  Times,  according  to  Saint  Paul,  i.  (or.  10.  And  indeede,fo  much  is 
not  onely  teftified  by  that  ^ipofile  ia  the  place  afore  recited, and  throughout  the  Epiftle  to  the  * 
Hebretees',  but  the  very  names  of  thofe  Perfons  and  Places,  mentioned  in  thefe  Hjmnet  and 
Songs,  doe  manifeft  it,  and  farre  better  expreflie  the  nature  of  that  which  thty  myftically  poino 
©ut,  then  of  what  they  are  laterally  applyed  vnto  i  as  thofe  who  will  looke  into  their  proper  fignifications  flwll  ap- 
parently difcoucr.  That  therefore  thefe  parcels  of  Holy  Scripture  ( which  are  for  the  moft  part  Meeter  in  their  Ori- 
ginal} tongue)  may  be  the  better  remexnbreJ,  to  the  glory  of  God  j  and  the  oftner  repeated  to  thofe  ends,  for  which 
they  were  written  5  they  are  heredifpofed  into  Lyrick^Verfe  ,  and  doe  make  the  Fnft  part  of  this  Hoofy :  Which 
H*okf  is  called ,  the  U fames  and  Songs  of  the  Qtmch%  not  for  that  I  would  fidue  it  thought  part  of  the  Churches 
Liturgie  s  butbecaufe  they  are  made  in  the  perfon  of  alltheFaithfull ,  and  dee  (for  the  moft  part)  treat  ©f  thofe 
things  which  conccrne  the  whole  Catholik*  Church.

preffioni  to  the  feuerall  inclinations  of  men,  tliat  meanes  might  be  prouided  to  winne  fome  of  all.  For,  other- 
while  he  doth  it  bv  comparing  the  fame  to  the  glories  of  a  temporall  K^tngdome,  to  winne  fuch  as  are  mod  de- 
flrous  of  honours.  Somcfime  he  illuftrates  it  by Treafttres,Gold,  and  pretious  Stones,  8cc  the  better  to  allure  fuchas 
are  tempted  with  thing;  of  chat  nature  5  and  diuers  other  waies  alfo,  as  appeares  throughout  the  booke  of  God.

AS  vfefull  aj  any  part  of  the  Old  Ttftament,  for  thefe  prefent  Times  (nigh  fallen  aflecpe  in  lecuritie)  are  thefe 
E'.egiacaU Odet.  For  they  bring  many  things  to  our  confideratioo-  Firft,  what  we  may  and  fhould  lament  for. 
Secondly,  howcarefull  we  ou«lit  to  be  of  the  Cowmtn-wealtht  profperitie  j  becaufe,  if  that  goe  to  ruinc  ,  the 
particular  Church  therein  cheriftied  muf>  needs  be  afflicted  alfo,  and  Gods  worfliip  hindred.  Thirdly,  they  teach  v* 
that  the  ouerthrow  ofrsjngdtmtt,  and  Emptrts  Jollawcs  the  abufeand  neglect  of  Religion  j  and  that  Sinne  being  the

THE 


THE  SECOND  PART  OF  THE 

Hymnes  and  Songs  of  the  C  h  v  r  c  h. 

V nothing  hath  hit  Sea/in ,  faith  t  he  Preacher  ,  Eccl.  And  S.  Paul  adoifctK  %  thif  ill 
things  lhould  be  done  Honeftly,  in  0r</*r ,  and  to  Edification,  \.£tr.  14.  Which  Counfell 
the  Church  religioufly  heeding  (and  how  by  obferuation  of  Tints,  and  other  circum- 
ftances ,  the  memories  and  capacities  of  weake  people  were  the  better  afliftcd;)  It  was 
prouided»  that  there  fhould  be  Annuall  Commemorationt  of  the  principall  Myfieriei  of 
our  Redemption :  And  certaine  particular  daks  were  dedicated  to  thst  purpofe,  j  as  nigh 
as  might  be  ^heffed  (for  the  moft  part)  vpon  thofe  very  fcafons  of  the  yeare,  in  whieh 
the  (cmctzW  Myjieriet  were  accompli flied.  And,  indeede,  tin's  is  not  that  Heathmilh  o» 
Idolatrous  heeding  of  Timet,  reprehended  ^n  Ifaiah  47  Nor  fuch  a  Iewifli  or  fuperfti- 
ttout  obferuation  of  D<««>and  Monetht,  and  XiWj,3cd  Venn,  as  is  reprooqed  by  S.  Taut, 
Gal.  4.  Nor  a  toleration  for  idlenefle,  con*rarie  to  the  fourth  Gommandemcnt  ■  But  a 
Chriftian  and  warrantable  obferuation,  profitably  ordained,  that  things  might  be  done  in  order ,  that  the  rnder- 
ftanding  might  be  the  better  edified  .*  that  the  mcmorie -.might be  the  oftner  refrcihed  5  and  that  thf  dcuotiotf 
Might  be  the  more  ftirred  vp. 

It  istrue,  that  w#  ought  tt  watcbtuery  hew*  :  But  if  the  Church  had  not  by  her  authorise  appointed  fet  daiet  and 
&ourrs  to  keepevs  awake  ,  infome  of  vs ,  would  hardly  watch  one  houre.  And  therefore,  thofcwhohaue 
aeale  according  to  knowledge,  doe  not  only  religioufly  obferuc  the  Churcbet  appointed  Timet  5  but  doe  by  her  ex- 
ample voluntarily  alfo  appoint  vnto  themfclues  certaine  daies,  andhoures  of  the  day  for  Chriftian  exerciles,  Nei- 
ther can  any  inaafuppefe  this  commendable  obferuation  of  Feaftt  (neither  burthenfome  by  multitude  ,  norfuper- 
fiitious  by  inftitution)  to  be  an  abridgement  of  Chriftian  liberties  who,  as  he  ought  to  doe  ,  belceueth  ,  thittba 
Semee  0f  Cjedu>p*rft8  freedeme.  Wc  perfwade  not,  that  one  day  it  mere  holy  then  another  in  his  ownc  nature  :  buc 
admonifh  that  thole  be  reuerentlv  and  Chriftianly  obferued,  which  are  vpon  fo  good  ground,  and  with  prudene 
Moderation  dedicated  to  the  worfliip  of  Go«J.  For,  it  can not  be  denied,  that  euen  thofe  who  are  but  coldly  am?  - 
<5ed  to  the  Churcbet  ordinances  in  this  kinde,  doeneuertheletTe  often  apprehend  the  Myjieiie  of  fa' ft*  Natiuitte  aBd 
Pajfien,  vpon  the  daies  of  commemorating  them,  much  more  feelingly  then  at  other  times  j  and  that  they  forget 
alfo  fome  other  +M)fteriot  altogether  vntill  they  are  remcmbred  of  them  by  the  diftirtfionj.  and  obferuation  of 
times  vfed  in  the  Church. 

Thefe  things  considered  j  and  becaufe  there  be  many,  wT;o  through  ignorance  rather  then  ohftinacie,  haue  neg- 
lected the  Churcbet  ordinance  in  this  point ,  here  are  added  (to  thole  Songs  of  the  Church,  which  were  either  tj km 
out  of  the  CantmcaU  Scripture,  or  anciently  invfe)  certaine  other  fpirituall  Songt  and  Hymnej  appropriated  to  thofc 
Daies  and  Occafions  which  are  moft  obferueabic.throughout  the  yeere.  And  before  each  feuerall  Hyxme  is  prefix-
