far whom this was done, and the Houfe ofJJrael
particularly exprell, and only faid to be done in
tie fig,htGf the Heathen, altho* the word Earth
be here ufedj it's more probable it's to be taken

God had d^nefuch great things, thafffor all the

mode of linging^there exprefs'd,be a moral Duty,
'viz.. to have Harps, Trumpets, and the found of
of Cornets joitied with it, why do not they pra-
(Qife it ? For I do not hear that they have as yet
brought into ufe any fuch Inltruments ofmufick
