Of MUSICK in General, andof
in all Ages : Ton fiallfeldom meet Holy David without
an Infirument in his Hand, and a Pfalm in his Month ;
Fifty three Holy Meters or Pfalms he dedicated to his
Chief Mufician Jeduthun, to compofe Mufick to them :
He was one in whom the Sprit of God delighted to dwell ,
for no evil Spirit will abide to tarry where Mufick ana
Harmony are lodged , for when he playd before Saul, the
evil Spirit departed immediately . This Power of Mufick
jtgainfi evil, Spirits, Luther feemeth to thinkjhat it doth
fiill remain, Scimus (faith he) Muficara Dasmonibus
etiam invifam & intolerabilem efle , We know that
Mufick is moft dreadful and intolerable to the Devils,
How acceptable Divine Harmony was to God in his Wor-
ffiip, appears in 2 Chron. 5. 12, 15. Alfo the Levites,
which were the Singers , all of them of Afaph , of
Hemon, of Jeduthun, with their Sons and their Bre-
thren being arrayed in white linnen, having Cymbals
and Pfalteries,and Harps,ftood at the Eaft end of the
Altar, and with them an hundred and twenty Priefts
founding with Trumpets : It came even to pafs, as
theTrumpeters and Singers were as one, to make one
found to be heard in praifing and thanking the Lord :
And when they lift up their Voice with theTrumpets
and Cymbals, and Inftrumentsof Mufick, &c. that
then the Houfe was filled with a Cloud, even the
Houfe of the Lord. The Vfe of Mufickwas continued
w the Church of the Jews , even until the DcfiruElion of
their Temple and Nation by Titus. And the Vfe thereof
alfojoegan in the Chriftian Church in our Saviour and
his Apo files time . If you Confult the Writings of the Pri-
mitive Fathers, youjhall fcarce meet with one that doth
not write of the Divine Vfe ofM^fckjn Churches ; and
