 PREFACE 
 
 TO THE 
 
 READER- 
 
 ERE it not that the 
 
 Singing-PfalmSjCommon- 
 ly ufed in Churches , la* 
 bour under the Prejudice 
 of anillTranflation, whofedrefs 
 is courfe and homely, the Metre 
 rugged and unequal , being pat- 
 ched up with little care, the words 
 many of them out of ufe andfear- 
 ce intelligible, without fancy and 
 fometimes, which is worfe, with- 
 out any fenie5 I cannot think that 
 any fooer, devout perfon, would 
 decry or Height the fingmg of 
 them in the Church : Wherein 
 )o( though 
 
t^fPR-EFXGE 
 
 though the common People can- 
 not atsajn, ip t$us , more than m 
 other Matters < to mu£R skill or 
 art 5 yet however they f eem to mc 
 to be' employed more affectiona- 
 tely in thj£| than- in any other part 
 or the Service: .amf considering 
 ttKrflpjjRfHtg God is the itioft ex- 
 cellent part "of it, by the fame rca 
 fon that theApoftle prefers Ch 
 ritv before Faith and Hope , Be- 
 caufe when they ceafe to be of li- 
 fe, this remains for ever, even in 
 Heaven it ielf $ it may fcem very 
 reafonablc to afford the people ail 
 furtherance and afliitence to* the 
 better performance of that , to 
 which they have already a lauda- 
 ble propenfion. 
 
 I confefs there are difcoura- 
 gements to undertake fuch a work, 
 
 and 
 
To the READER* 
 
 and particularly that, which fe- 
 me others have defervedly com- 
 plained of, viz. the ungracefill- 
 nefs of theMeafiires of our Com- 
 mon Tunes : which I think hap- 
 pens to have been the worfl cho- 
 fen of any Metre extant in any 
 language, and fcarce admits, wh$p. 
 words are fitted to them , of aryr 
 Hkgmcy 5 which therefore the 
 Excellent Poets of our own have 
 balked, and chofen in their Tran£ 
 lations , to ufe Pindarics or othbr 
 meafures of their own fancying, 
 wherein, without being fb much 
 ftraitned, they had more fcopc for 
 their flights and Elegancies. But 
 fince the people cannot be wound 
 up to them, he that intends their 
 benefit, muftcondcfcend,andta-

A PREFACE 
 
 ke, as he finds it, the Metre they 
 are accuftomed to 5 and fit flick 
 words to them as they can under- 
 ftand, and may convey naturally 
 and eafily into their minds that 
 pious fenfe which every where 
 breaths in the Pfalms of David 
 And perhaps this may be a harder* 
 task to doe wdl> than he that has 
 jnot tryd it would imagine : efpe- 
 cially when he muft not take lea- 
 ve to Paraphrafe largely in ftrains 
 of his own, but muft keep clofely, 
 tho* not to every word, yet to the 
 fenfe of the Text as it lies before 
 him. 
 
 This has been attempted , I 
 know , by many , but , I think , not 
 fbfuccefsfully as might have been 
 wif ht. For the moft have plain- 
 ly mifcarned, by tying themfelves 
 too ftrictly , I had almoft faid fu- 
 
 per- 
 
To the READER. 
 
 perftitioufly, to the words of the 
 Englifh Text, which in a Thou* 
 fand places cannot be made to fall 
 Naturally , without botching , in- 
 to verfe 5 (o that there is little mo- 
 re of Poetry in them, than mere 
 Rhime. 
 
 When I obferved thefe things, 
 tho' at firft onely intended to ma- 
 Jce a Collection of Pfalms out ofo- 
 thers,for the ufe of that Society to 
 which I relate ( where we arc 
 bound by the Orders of the Hou- 
 fe,upon Sundays andFefiivalsand 
 the Eves of them, to fing the Pfalms 
 to an Organ, tho' without a Quire) 
 I altered my thoughts, and refol- 
 ved to try, as others had done be- 
 fore me , fo to fit the Pfalms to the 
 common Tunes, that the vulgar 
 might bear their part in them, and 
 the more intelligent and skilfull 
 
 migth 
 
o/ fREFACP 
 
 might not have reafon to defpife 
 this part of the Service. Which 
 idefign whether I have performed, 
 I friuil: leave others to judge 5 o- 
 nely defiring when they do fo, to 
 remember that this \v?is my end, 
 and not to fed up for a Poet. 
 
 And now to give the Reader 
 fovAC account of my manner of 
 proceeding herein 5 Becaufe ( for 
 the reafon before given) I refol- 
 ved not to tie up my felf itricStly 
 to the ufe of the words of theJEn- 
 glifh Text b unlefs they would 
 fall in naturally , but rather to cle- 
 ar the phrafes by a fhortParaphra- 
 fe * tho' ftill keeping to the f enfe 5 
 I therefore coniulted the Criticks 
 and other Expofitors upon places 
 of difficulty , and especially the 
 Fharaphrales of the Learned Doc- 
 tor 
 
To the REAP BR. 
 
 tor Hammond and Amyraldus. I 
 have endeavoured to fiiitmy Ver- 
 sion to the ftrain of the Pfalms , 
 which are very different $ fome 
 more humble and plain , beft fui- 
 ted to David's ami&rive Com- 
 plaints , or to thofe Pfalms that in- 
 llvu£t mens manner : Others are 
 more lofty, elegant and poetical > 
 as when he fcts out the works of 
 God, his Creation and Providen- 
 ce, or the perfections of the Al- 
 mighty Ruler of the World 5 or 
 prophetically defcribes things that 
 relate to the Meffiah. Initances 
 of which may be feen in Pfalm 
 23. 29.45,65.91,93.96.104. 
 139. not to mention many others. 
 
 I forefee two Objections againft 
 my method of proceeding 5 which 
 I f hall briefly endeavour tip fari$fie. 
 
 The 
 
AtXEFACE 
 
 The one is, that I have left fb many 
 Pfalms untranflated : the other > 
 that I have taken at other times o- 
 nely fome portions of Pfalms, and 
 left out many Verfes in thofe I have 
 tranflated. In Anfwer to both 
 which, I think it may fuffice to re- 
 turn 5 That in the choice I have 
 made, I considered and pitched u- 
 pon thofe Pfalms or portions of 
 them which were mod proper and 
 o : moft general ufe to usChriftians . 
 Such are Pfalms of Thankfgiving, 
 or of Petition for mercies we all 
 need, or thatinftrudtusin our Du- 
 ty. But I balked thofe whofe afped: 
 was upon David's perfonal trou- 
 bles, or Ifraefs particular conditi- 
 on, or related to the Jewif h and le- 
 gal Oeconomy , or are prophetical 
 of the Nations they fhould fubdue, 
 or refpe<5ted their deliverances, or 
 
 fuch 
 
TttkeREADER. 
 
 fuch as refer not to us , but by a mo 
 re difficult Accommodation 5 or 
 where they exprefs a temper not Co 
 futable to the mild and gentle fpirit 
 oftheGofpel, fiich as our Saviour 
 repreffed in his Diiciples, not allo- 
 wing imprecations of vengeance 
 againft our Enemies , but rather 
 praying for them 5 efpecially when 
 that prophetick fpirit do s not now 
 reft upon us, that did upon David. 
 £0 alio fiichPfalms as are of very Ar- 
 tificial contrivance in the Hebrew, 
 the Verfes beginning with the fe- 
 veral Letters of the Alphabet , and 
 thephrafes with ereat Art varied, 
 tho* containing the fame repeated 
 fenfe, which cannot be imitated fo 
 well in other Tongues , many Ver- 
 fes in them are left out 5 as among o- 
 thers in the 37*Pfalm , and efpeci- 
 ally in the 1 i9*pfalm which the- 
 re- 
 
A TRZtACZ 
 
 refore I have contracted into iix 
 parts: I might alio add, that I have 
 fometimes omitted a few Verfcs 
 that preface to a Pfalm. If thefe rea- 
 fons will be allowed me, then I fup- 
 pofe there will be very little found 
 either in whole Pfalms or pieces of 
 them 5 that is not tranf lated. If this 
 fatisfzenot, I have onely one thing 
 farther to offer, which methinks 
 may. That I defire onely that I may 
 have the fame favour that is gran 
 ted to every Parifh Clark 5 who in 
 fetting the Pfalms , is not wont to 
 run through them in order, nor to 
 appoint at all times a whole one to 
 be fung, but onely fuch portions of 
 them as are fiiitable to the occafi- 
 on , or to the time allotted not for 
 this alone, but for other fcrvices to 
 be performed in the Congregati5 : 
 Andifl hadfaid no more^, I know 
 
 not 
 
To the REAPER. 
 
 hot why I may not take liberty to 
 pick and chufe portions of Pfalms, 
 as well as he. I nave nothing mo- 
 re to add, unlefs it be fit to men- 
 tion , that I have put very many 
 of the Pfalms into the Metre of the 
 Hundred Pfaim,whichmeafure,as 
 well as the Tune , I judge to be the 
 beft we have : but for diofe that 
 may be of another mind , I have 
 cornpleyed fo far, as to repeat the 
 far greater number of fuch Pfalms 
 in the commoner Metre: and that 
 I know but of one very hard word, 
 that may trouble an ordinary Rea- 
 der , which he will find in the fir ft 
 line of the 1 27 th Plalm , viz. the 
 word Architect, which fignifies a 
 Mafter -Builder , and I nope he 
 Will not meet with fuch another 
 through-out the whole work.
