BUT I have one thing to clear, which perhaps will be objected, the often Repetitions which are marked with ii. which cannot be avoided, since the parts cannot but be Ecchoing their sense and gracing the Musick 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 doe, is the hearty desire and daily prayer of the meanest of the Sons of the Church.
To the Reverend WALTER JONES Doctor in Divinity, AND Sub-Dean of his Majesties Chappel-Royal, &c.
VNder your able Patronage I have presumed to shelter this my weak endeavor, which if for no other reason than the wel-meaning devotion therof, I was sure would not be unacceptable or troublesome [Page] 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 eare to the mean addresse of these Rudiments (as it were) of Church Musick, which, like other perfections, hath suffer'd meerly through the peoples ignorance.
To you therefore more especially doe I dedicate this Essay, whose alone compe [...]ent Skill and judgement [Page] in the highest mysteries of this Divine Science, if it shall please you to descend and deign a favourable approbation thereunto, cannot but cōmand 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 Musick; by which, as you charm the Soul, and all its affections, no doubt you can prevail upon and perswade [Page] publick acceptance.
I submit this piece in this (howsoever rude) manner to your judgement, having attempted, I hope, something of tendency to the Churches peace and harmony, whereof though I am a small and an unworthy Member, yet a Mite even from such is justly exspected: For higher works God hath fitted and prepared your most Artfull Hand, and hath placed you in an Orb from whence your Melody (as of the Spheres) of holiness and constant goodness [Page] 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 Choire: so prayes,
To the READER.
IT was the glory and hitherto happiness of Rhetorick alone, of all other Sciences, to fit and adapt it self 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 Musick is to Rhetorick, yea more ravishingly vocall and moving the spirit beyond the others most violent efforts, and how the Church of God, in which Musick hath been constantly used throughout all the various forms thereof, both Jewish and Christian, (whatever the sceptick Separatist, or any novel Schismatick shall in vain, and falslly gainsay, though I will not make it my task, or lose so [Page] much labour as to goe 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 Musick in our solemn Assemblies, object neither against the harmony it self, 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 alwaies 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 Choire 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 [...]elights when they have once thro [...]owly tasted, I doe not doubt but my [...]abour will be thank-worthy) 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 Choire 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, Gods glory; and his Words and Works magnifie themselves and their blessed [Page] 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.
