<strong>An</strong> Appendix Concerning the Ordinance of Singing<br />

4 Eph. 5:10. Finding out what is acceptable to the<br />

Lord. 1 Pet. 2:9. But you are a chosen generation, a royal<br />

priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that<br />

you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out<br />

of darkness into His marvelous light. 3:10-12. For "He<br />

who would love life <strong>An</strong>d see good days, Let him refrain<br />

his tongue from evil, <strong>An</strong>d his lips from speaking deceit.<br />

Let him turn away from evil and do good; Let him seek<br />

peace and pursue it. For the eyes of the Lord are on the<br />

righteous, <strong>An</strong>d His ears are open to their prayers; But the<br />

face of the Lord is against those who do evil."<br />

Rom. 6:11-13. Likewise you also, reckon yourselves to<br />

be dead indeed to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus<br />

our Lord. Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal<br />

body, that you should obey it in its lusts. <strong>An</strong>d do not<br />

present your members as instruments of<br />

unrighteousness to sin, but present yourselves to God as<br />

being alive from the dead, and your members as<br />

instruments of righteousness to God. Matt. 5:16. Let<br />

your light so shine before men, that they may see your<br />

good works and glorify your Father in heaven.<br />

Tit. 2:11-12. For the grace of God that brings salvation<br />

has appeared to all men, teaching us that, denying<br />

ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly,<br />

righteously, and godly in the present age.<br />

Q. 3: Whence knowest thou thy misery?<br />

A. Out of the law of God. 1<br />
