his own solace,' were completed by Hopkins and others, this clause in the act gave authority for the public use in their church. The allowance permitted to this version was, in the opinion of Heylin, 'rather a connivance than an approbation, no such allowance being anywhere found by such as have been most industrious and concerned in the search.' So great was the zeal with which the reformers cultivated psalmody, that psalms and hymns are termed, by Burney, the opera songs of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. In the year 1551, Roger Ascham thus writes from Augsburg:'Three or four thousand singing at a time in a church in this city, is but a trifle. According to Beza, the Huguenots, at Paris, assembled in the Prez aux Chères,' and did nothing for many nights but go about in great numbers singing psalms,' joined by the King and Queen of Navarre. About the same time writes Bishop Jewel to Peter Martyr: A change now appears visible among the people; which nothing promotes more than the inviting them to sing psalms. This was begun in one church in London, and did quickly spread itself, not only through the city, but in the neighbouring place; sometimes, at Paul's Cross, there will be six thousand people singing together.'*
"Almost every nation-perhaps all nations-have national airs by which the love of country is deepened, and a national feeling is created and maintained. The popular air, 'Yankee Doodle,' will, probably, create an American feeling as long as our nation exists; and the airs,' God save the King,' and 'Rule Britannia,' will never cease to call the heart of the Briton to his own glorious isle. The soldier from Switzerland and from the highlands of Scotland will weep at the national airs which call their hearts home to the place of their birth and childhood."
It is the settled intention of the compiler of this book to send companies of Christian men and women to all parts of the nation, to sing these "Spiritual Songs," and sell the book.
