LONDON, Printed by W. G. and are to be sold by Henry Brome at the Gun in Ivy-lane. 1663. BUT I have one thing to clear, which perhaps will be objected, the often Repetitions which are marked with two. which cannot be avoided, since the parts cannot but be Echoing their sense and gracing the Music to make an harmony in both: for which, he that understands any thing thereof, will be my Advocate: so that this small Collection may inform the Ignorant, reform the Obstinate, conform the Moderate, and confirm all to Communicate in the Church of God. That all Christians may so do, is the hearty desire and daily prayer of the meanest of the Sons of the Church. J. C. See here the sacred Harp with well-tuned string Skilfully touched by a most pious King; Of whose great Actions after Gods own heart This is recorded too, He played his Part. depiction of a king with harp To the Reverend WALTER JONES Doctor in Divinity, AND Subdean of his Majesty's Chappel-Royal, etc. SIR, Under your able Patronage I have presumed to shelter this my weak endeavour, which if for no other reason than the well-meaning devotion thereof, I was sure would not be unacceptable or troublesome to you. Be pleased therefore to intermit awhile those Seraphical Raptures, in the excellency whereof, and your thereto tuned Piety, you are so famously happy. And vouchsafe an ear to the mean address of these Rudiments (as it were) of Church Music, which, like other perfections, hath suffered merely through the people's ignorance. To you therefore more especially do I dedicate this Essay, whose alone competent Skill and judgement in the highest mysteries of this Divine Science, if it shall please you to descend and deign a favourable approbation thereunto, cannot but command reception from others: since my knowledge at Oxford (improved further at London) of your Eminency this way, cannot so far disoblige the world as not to believe you have the supreme Mastery in religious Music; by which, as you charm the Soul, and all its affections, no doubt you can prevail upon and persuade public acceptance. I submit this piece in this (howsoever rude) manner to your judgement, having attempted, I hope, something of tendency to the Church's peace and harmony, whereof though I am a small and an unworthy Member, yet a Mite even from such is justly expected: For higher works God hath fitted and prepared your most Artful Hand, and hath placed you in an Orb from whence your Melody (as of the Spheres) of holiness and constant goodness in and for the Church, is universally heard with joy and delight. In which happiness, God Almighty long continue you here and late translate you to the Angelical Choir: so prays, Reverend Sir, Your most devoted and obedient Servant, JAMES CLIFFORD. To the READER. IT was the glory and hitherto happiness of Rhetoric alone, of all other Sciences, to fit and adapt itself to every capacity and understanding; and therefore it hath been said to have something more of Divinity in it than the rest: and we have a Proverb of remark, — The plainer the better: Considering this, and of how near a relation Music is to Rhetoric, yea more ravishingly vocal and moving the spirit beyond the others most violent efforts, and how the Church of God, in which Music hath been constantly used throughout all the various forms thereof, both Jewish and Christian, (whatever the sceptic Separatist, or any novel Schismatic shall in vain, and falslly gainsay, though I will not make it my task, or lose so much labour as to go about to refute them) hath suffered through the unintelligency and ignorance thereof: I thought it a duty worthy the zeal of a Christian to remove this prejudice under and by which the Church hath so long without a proportionable remedy been grieved and afflicted. For, it is to be presumed that the most morose and quarrelsome disapprovers of this Music in our solemn Assemblies, object neither against the harmony itself, for there is no peevish nor discontented spirit whatsoever which it will not appease and allay, and that it doth naturally; nor for the matter, for that is always Scripture, or deduced and taken thence, which they will by no means reject if they knew it to be such: It remains therefore, that it is want of information and direction; for while the Choir sings, it seems to them, (they say) a kind of service in an unknown Tongue, not one in a hundred able to bear a part, or understand what is sung. I have therefore (in hopes to re●ress this evil of ignorance, and to ●ring all to the knowledge of this Musical piety, whose comforts and delights when they have once thro●owly tasted, I do not doubt but my ●abour will be thankworthy) printed ●ll the Anthems usually sung in any of our Cathedrals verbatim, with the ingeminations and doubles thereof, and the pauses and rests of the same, that the people may follow the Choir in their Devotions without any loss or mistake, and be encouraged to learn to assist and consort in the same melody. To which I shall use this only motive, that since it will be all and our sole employment in Heaven, it will be wretchless and unexcusable neglect not to mind it here on earth. I might say something to commend these Heavenly Anthems, but they are above humane praise, and direct us to the chiefest of all praises, God's glory; and his Words and Works magnify themselves and their blessed Author, from whom they first cam● (though written by men inspired) an● to whom they must return. So Reader, I will not further stay thee from the contemplation thereof, but refe● thee to the heavenly satisfaction tho● shalt find therein.

Yet the spiteful Foe commands Songs of Mirth, and bids us lay To cumb Harps our captive hands, And (to scoff our Sorrows) say, Sing us some sweet Hebrew Lay. 4.

Holy Salem, if thy Love Fall from my forgetful heart, May the skill by which I move Strings of Music, tuned by Art, From my withered Hand departed. 6.

Henry Laws. ANTHEM CLXIV. For the time of Lent. BY The Rt Reverend Father in God, HENRY, Lord Bishop of Chichester. Harken, O God, unto a wretch's cries, Who low dejected at thy footstool lies; Let not the clamour of my heinous sin Drown my requests, which strive to enter in At those bright gates, which always open stand To such as beg remission at thy hand. Too well I know, if thou in rigour deal I can nor pardon ask, nor yet appeal: To my hoarse voice, heaven will no audience grant, But deaf as Brass, and hard as Adamant, Beat back my words, therefore I bring to thee A gracious Advocate to plead for me. What though my leprous soul no Jordan can Recure, nor floods of laved Ocean Make clean, yet from my Saviors bleeding side Two large & medicinable rivers glide Lord, wash me where those streams of life abound, And new Bethesdaes' flow from every wound. If I this precious Laver may obtain, I shall not then despair for any stain; I need no Gileads balm, nor oil, nor shall I for the purifying Hyssop call; My spots will vanish in his purple flood And crimson there turn white, though washed with blood. See Lord! with broken heart & bended knee, How I address my humble suit to thee; O give that suit admittance to thy ears which floats to thee not in my words but tears: And let my sinful soul this mercy crave Before I fall into the silent Grave. Composed to Music by Dr. John Wilson, Gent: of His Majesty's Chapel. ANTHEM CLXV. A Christmas Anthem, or Caroll. By T. P. AWake my soul! and come away, Put on thy best array Lest if thou longer stay Thou lose some minutes of so blest a day. Go run, and bid Good-morrow to the Sun Welcome his safe return to Capricorn, And that great Morn Wherein a God was Born, Whose story none can tell But he whose every words a Miracle. To day Almightiness grew weak, The world itself was mute And could not speak; That Jacob's Star which made the Sun To dazzle if he durst look on, Now mantled over in Bethl'hem's night Borrowed a Star to show him light; He that begird each Zone To whom both Poles are one, Who grasped the Zodiac in's hand And made it move or stand, Is now by Nature, Man, By Stature, but a Span: Eternity is now grown short, A King is born without a Court. The Water thirsts, the Fountains dry, And Life being born made apt to die. Chorus. Then let our praises emulate and vie, with his humility, Since he's exiled from Skies That we might Rise From low estate of men, Let's sing him up again, Let each man wind up's heart to bear a part In that Angelic Choir; And show his Glory high, as he was low: Let's sing towards men good will and charity, Peace upon earth, Glory to God on high.

Fear not Shepherds, for behold, Better tidings ne'er was told; News I bring you this same tide; This blessed Morn, Ye and all mankind beside A Saviour is born: Post to Bethl'hem, post about, Post and find the Infant out. With these Signs you shall begin, In a Stable in the Inn You shall find his Mother-Mayd Poorly friended, And the Babe in Manger laid Worse attended. When you find him, loudly cry, Glory be to God on high. Chorus. Glory be to God above, Peace on earth, amongst men love: Death and hell are now beguiled, God and man are reconciled. R. G.
