  Psalms and hymns composed and fitted for the present occasion of publick thanks-giving, October 24, 1651 by W. Barton ...

summary:
  But if after publication of all , your Honors shall receiv better satisfaction by anie other endeavours , I shall fully rest satisfied in this , that it shall bee determined by the Supreme Autoritie of England , which , from the first , I have publickly owned , obeied , honored , praied for , pleaded for , and praised God for , as a singular Blessing to this Nation , under which wee may lead peaceable and quiet lives in all Godliness and Honestie ; and if anie fearing God bee otherwise minded , God shall reveal even this unto them . I acknowledg that most of the Psalms exstant do want a more exquisite Composure ; and I denie not but Christians , gifted that waie , may compose and sing new Songs to the glorie of God , in the Congregations ; but if those Songs bee not composed out of Scripture , I believ they will want that gravitie and weight , that Majestie and Autoritie , which these have to excite affection , and edifie the understanding .
