This work is one of the foundational reformed documents on singing psalms, both from a biblical perspective and an exegetical one. It follows the same biblical and theological ideas that the Westminster Assembly determined that all Reformed churches in the world have a duty “to praise God publicly, by singing of psalms together in the congregation, and also privately in the family.” Cotton is quoted many times in the works of the Puritans for this masterful treatise on the subject. He covers how to sing with a lively voice (clearing all objections that might be against this), who ought to sing psalms (individuals or the whole congregation), whether women may sing as well as men, whether carnal men may sing, as well as godly Christians, the manner of singing, and objections against the practice. This is a classic work that ought not to be missed by all Christians willing to study what God says in determining the manner in which sinners are to approach him in worship. This is not a scan or facsimile, has been updated in modern English for easy reading and has an active table of contents for electronic versions.

This work on psalm singing is one of the few complete puritan treatments of the subject. Since singing psalms is a Gospel command, Cuthbert teaches this topic very seriously, and covers important objections that are often raised against psalmody - something the Westminster Puritans taught without exception. In seven chapters Cuthbert explains both Ephesians and Colossians concerning "psalms, hymns and spiritual songs," as well as topics such as the lawfulness of Psalm Singing as an ordinance, the translation of the Psalms to be sung, the abuses of the Roman and Episcopal Church on psalm singing, how we teach and admonish one another with psalms, and important notes about how we are to sing with a mixed multitude in corporate worship. This is a valuable treatment of the subject and is well worth time and consideration on a doctrine almost completely forgotten in our day. This work is not a scan or facsimile and has been made easy to read with an active table of contents for electronic versions.

This famous 17th century tract is a demonstration of the nature and necessity of singing the Psalms of David in private (at home) and in corporate worship (with the congregation), something that began to be contested in his own day. Holmes covers six areas that teach the church how to think about Psalm singing: 1) the warrant that we have coming from the word of God to do so; 2) its unquestionable nature through the history of the church; 3) the ancient use of singing; 4) the usefulness of singing the Psalms of David, and 5) the objections of unjust men against psalm singing. He also adds in as an appendix the manner in which the New England churches sang Psalms. This is a very helpful introductory work to aid the Christian to think soberly about how Psalmody is handled in the word of God and for the church of Jesus Christ.

Excerpt from A Discourse on the Divine Ordinance of Singing Psalms: Intended to Prove, I. That the Singing of Psalms Is a Part of That Social or Publick Worship Which God Hath Appointed in His Word; II. That There Are Parts of the Sacred Scriptures Adapted to the Purpose of Singing This is bigotry indeed and mofi: of the mournful of the church may juf'tly be afcribed to it. The danger, that arifes to the fouls of men' fromififu'ch ifu man dev1ces, is> great and ala1 ming Taken up with thele de vices, they forget that it is only th1ough the blefiing of God 1n -chrift, upon his own infiitutions, that we have any gtound to expeéi: that communion with him, without which our religious exe1ciles are vain. It is not meant, that, Where luch corrup tion in any meafure prevails, the word and oxdinances of Chrift baveno faving elfeét at all. He fulfils in his elect, all the good pleafure of his goodnefs, and the work of faith with'powa er. But we learn from his word, that men's attachment to there devices, where they are once admitted, befides be: ing evil 1n itfelf, is inordinate, and attended W1th an undervalu ing and neglect ofgod' s own inititutions for ft is in vain to imagine, that men will ufe moderatwn 1n following what ought, not to be followed at all.
