Declare  abroad  1  will. 

3  The  Lord  faid,  thou’rt  my  Son,  this  day

Aik  thou  of  me,  and  fox  thy  lot 
The  heathen  I  will  give  i 
And  of  the  earth  thou  flialt  polTefs 
The  utmoft'COifts  abroad. 

9  Thou  flialt  them  break  as  potters  iherd. 
And  crufli  with  iron  rod. 

10  And  now  ye  kings  be  wile,  be  learn’d 

Earth’s  judges  yc  that  are. 

-1 1  Serve  ye  the  Lord  with  reverence,, 
Rejoyce  with  trembling  fear. 

2  2  Kifs  ye  the  fon  left  he  be  wroth. 

And  ye  fall  in  the  way, 

When  his  wrath  but  a  little  burns,

For  all  mine  en’mies  thou  haft  ftroke 
Upon  the  cheek-bone  ;  thou  likewife 
The  teeth  haft  of  the  wicked  broke.

Psalm  XXXIX. 


To  the  chief  Mujician,  even  to  feduthu-n, 
,A  PJaJm  of  David. 

I  Said  I  will  look  to  mjr  ways. 

Left  I  lin  with  my  tongue  : 

I’ll  keep  my  mosith  with’bit  while  I 
The  wicked  am  among. 

2  With  filence  I  as  dumb  abode. 

My  mouth  I  did  refrain 
From  fpeaking  of  the  thing  that’s  good^ 
And  ftirred  was  my  pain. 

3  My  heart  within  me  waxed  hot. 

While  I  was  mufing  long. 

In  me  the  fire  'inkindled  was. 

Then  fpake  I  with  my  tongue. 

4  O  Lord,  mine  end,  and  of  rny  days 
Let  me  the  meafure  learn  : 

That  what  a  moinentany  thing 
I  am,  1  may  difeern. 

5  Behold  thou  mad’ft  my  days  a  ipan, 
Mine^  age  is  nought  to  thee  : 

At  s  oeii.ciiate,  furc  every  man 
^  Is  wholly  vanity.  ^ 

3  Sure  n.an  walks  in  an  empty  fhow. 

Vain  Itir  they  therefore  mske,  * 

wealth,  but  do  not  know 
'Who  ihall  the  fame  up  take.

Tiling  gradually  above  Mi,  arc  Fa^  Sol,  La^ 
Fa^  Sol,  La,  and  then  Mi  again  ;  And  the 
Note*  falling  gradually  bclo»v  Mi,  are  La, 
Sol,  Fa,  La,  Sol,  Fa,  -and  then  comes  Ali^ 
again,  in  every  Eighth.  For,  as  every 
eighth  Note  gives  the  fame  Sound,  fo  it  has 
the  lame  Letter  and  Name.

The  Place  of  Mi  is  alter’d  by  Flats  and 
Sharps  pur  at  the  Beginning  of  the  five 
Lines  on  which  the  Tunes  ate  prick’d. 

The  natural  Place  for  Ml  it  in  the  Line 
which  is  called  B,  and  there  you  will 
find  it  in  the  following  Tunes,  provided 
there  be  no  Flats  or  Sharps  at  the  Be¬ 
ginning  of  the  five  Lines,  as  in  IFitidfor, 
&c.  If  y  ou  find  a  Flat  mark'd  thus  (i) 
in  B,  as  in  London  Nav,  then  you  (hall 
find  Mi  ftand  in  E.  If  there  be  a  Flat  in 
B  and  E  too,  as  in  Manchtjlar,  then  is 
Mi  in  A,  So  a!fo  for  Sharps  mark’d  thus

There  are  two  Clffs  made  ufc  of  in  the
