  Church-musick vindicated a sermon preach'd at St. Bride's church, on Monday, November 22, 1697, being St. Caecilia's day, the anniversary feast of the Lovers of musick / by Nicholas Brady.

summary:
  WE do not ( I think ) meet in the whole Book of God , with a more Signal Instance of his favourable Acceptance , of that Devout Employment in which we are now Conversant , ( our praising him , and giving him Thanks , with Voices and Instruments of Musick ) than we have in those words which I have now read to you , and which I have chosen for the Subject of my following Discourse ; where we find it makes up a very considerable part , of one of the most Eminent Solemnities of Religion , that we ever heard of under the Legal Dispensation : A Solemnity Regulated by the Wisest amongst Men ; and in which we cannot suppose anything to have been allowed of , but what was suitable to the Gravity and Majesty of the occasion : It was Solomon's Dedicating that Glorious Temple , which was justly Reputed the Noblest Structure in the World ; and his Solliciting the Almighty , that he would Arise into his Resting-place , We may observe yet farther , that the proper Office of Musick in the Service of God , is to praise him , and give him thanks , because he is good ; and because his Mercy endureth for ever .

summary:
  WE have in these Words a Direction how to behave our selves in the publick Worship of God ; and I have made Choice of them at this time to justify the Practice of our own Church in her laudable Use of Musick , both Vocal and Instrumental , in her solemn Assembles . For in short it was not Moses but David who first applied Instruments of Musick to Religious Purposes , as I have before shewed , and this he might do partly out of a Sence of Natural Religion , and also farther as we may piously believe , ( he being an inspired Man and a Prophet ) by the Spirit of God :

  The usefulness of church-musick a sermon preach'd at Christ-Church, Novemb. 27, 1696, upon occasion of the anniversary-meeting of the lovers of musick, on St. Cæcilia's Day / by S. Estwick ...

summary:
  To say we are pleas'd with Harmonious Sounds , is to say very little in comparison of what our Apostle has suggested to us , who carries this Matter much higher , and teaches us the true use and benefit of Divine Musick in the Worship of God. How this is done by this Divine Exercise will be more fully made out in this ensuing Discourse ; in the mean time it ought not to be forgot , that in a large sense we may be said to be taught and admonish'd by whatever renews , revives , and calls to remembrance former Thoughts , and Idea's ; we certainly may be admonish'd of what we knew before , and I think may not improperly be said to be Taught and Instructed by whatever excites and enlarges our Desires of Goodness , by whatever enflames in our Hearts the Love of God and our Neighbour ; and whatsoever Instruction serves to confirm our Faith , to enliven our Hope , and quicken our Graces , and to render our Souls more Humble , more Holy , and more like to God than they were before , may in a large Sence be deem'd Teaching ; tho' all this while we gain no fresh Supplies of new Idea's , but having an Occasion offer'd us of reviving those old ones that before lay dormant , we are thereby enabled to turn 'em to a better use , and to reduce our Knowledge to Practice .

  A sermon preach'd at St. Paul's Cathedral, November 22, 1699 being the anniversary meeting of the Lovers of Musick / by W. Sherlock ...

summary:
  I would not have you mistake me ; I do not appear in this place at this time to decry or disparage the use of Musick in the Worship of God , which would neither become this Presence , nor my own Character ; but to persuade and direct you to turn the Delights and Charms of Musick , into the Raptures of Devotion , which would the most effectually silence all the Enemies of Church-Musick , and Cathedral-Worship , while as a Divine Poet of our own Sings , This would visibly turn Delight into a Sacrifice . Now since Musick , whatever it be , and how well soever performed , is of no Use or Value in Religion , but as it serves the true Ends of Devotion ; we must Enquire , What that Harmony and Melody is , which is so acceptable to God ; How fit External and Sensible Melody is to promote this ; And how it may and ought to be improved to that purpose .

  Musica incantans, or, The power of music written originally in Latin by Dr. South, translated ; with a preface concerning the natural effects of musick upon the mind.

summary:
  I must confess , that tho' the Fiction is very well Contriv'd , and contains abundance of Wit , yet being design'd in Praise of Musick , it may be thought an Unhappiness , that the very Foundation of the Story seems tacitly to oppose the Reputation of that Noble Art : For here Musick is represented as of dangerous Consequence , in occasioning the Distraction and Death of a Young Man ; whereas it may be objected that this Art seems rather Adapted and design'd , for quite contrary Effects , viz. And thus tho' They greatly esteemed , and recommended this Art in General , yet still it was with this Caution , that some sorts of Airs were dangerous to Morality .

  A sermon delivered in the Cathedral Church of Canterbury, concerning church-musick by John Reading ...

summary:
  3. As Musick was appointed by God , to praise him in his Tabernacle and Temple , to which Christ in the days of his flesh often resorted ; so was it used by Christ , as at his last Supper , and institution of that great Mystery appointed by him to represent and shew his death and passion till he come ; wherein Christ sung his pare with his Apostles , ( for we may not think , that he sat by them onely to keep time , or as an Auditor . ) Add hereto , that even under the Gospel , Musick is expresly commanded , for edification in Christ , and therefore must still be lawfull and necessary : of which the Apostle faith , Ephes. 5.19 , 20 — Be filled with the spirit ; speaking to your selves in psalms and hymns , and spiritual songs , singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord : giving thanks always for all things unto God , and the father , in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

summary:
  Here thou would make God and Christ two images , and so utters forth one lye after another , and denies the Scripture , which saith he , is the express Image of the Father , and thou sayest the first Image is naturall , the second is spirituall , and here let all behold thy blasphemy who would make the Image of God naturall , and the Image of Christ spirituall , and calls them two Images : stop thy mouth , and be ashamed for ever , for being a Teacher , who seeks to resolve people of such things as to deny God and Christ , and make them two Images , the one naturall , and the other spirituall , and saith , something of the image of God is found in man after the fall ▪ but nothing of the Image of Christ ▪ O blinde guide , that ever England should be deceived by such , but the Lord is now making you manifest , and in the light thou art comprehended , and thy subtlety is seen ▪ and thou art now met withall , who hath long blinded the eyes of poor people with thy fained words and subtle pretences , but here thou art discovered to be an enemy to that which in word thou professes , and so thy words will cover thee no longer , for the life hath found thee out ▪ and by it thy spirit is tryed to be the spirit of errour , and voice to be the voice a stranger . Where did thou ever read of a naturall light which did witnesse unto God in that which is holy , and that which did witness unto God , where dost thou prove that ever the same witness which did witness God in holiness did ever witness against the spirit of God , read thy confesion , and let thy mouth be stopped , who speakes of a naturall light , and of a naturall holiness , which neither of them is mentioned in the scripture , nor from any of the ministers of Christ , therefore from them all art thou shut out , who art in a naturall darkness .

Or suppose singing with Instruments were not typicall , but onely an externall solemnitie of worship , fitted to the solace of the outward sences of children under age , ( such as the Israelites were under the Old Testament , Gal. 4.1 , 2 , ● . ) So here , some that were altogether against singing of Psalmes at all with lively voyce , yet being convinced , that it is a morall worship of God warranted in Scripture , then if there must be a Singing , one alone must sing , not all , ( or if all ) the Men onely , and not the Women .

title:
  An introduction to the skill of musick in two books : the first, the grounds and rules of musick, according to the gam-ut, and other principles thereof, the second, instructions & lessons for the bass-viol, and instruments & lessons for the treble-violin / by John Playford ; to which is added, The art of descant, or composing musick in parts, by Dr. Tho. Campion ; with annotations thereon, by Mr. Chr. Simpson.

summary:
  If this Discourse of Cordt under the Bass do trouble the young Beginner , let him think no more upon them ( for it is not intended that he should place any Notes below the Bass ) but let him look for his Cords , reckoning always from his Bass upward ; which that he may more easily perform , let him draw eleven lines ( which is the whole compass of the Scale ) and set the three used Cliffs in their proper places ; this done , he may prick his Bass in the lowest five lines , and then set the other three parts in their orderly distances above the Bass , Note against Note , as you see in this following Example . But because the Theorie of these Writings c●nduceth unto the attaining of that degree ; and because in the profession of a Singer ( in regard of the excellence thereof ) not only particular things are of use , but they all together do better it ; therefore to proceed in order , thus I will say : That the chiefest foundations , and most important Grounds of this Art are , the Tuning of the Voice in all the Notes ; not only that it be neither too high nor too low , but that there be a good manner of Tuning it used . Which Tuning being used for the most part in two fashions , we will consider both of the one and the other ; and by the following Notes will shew that which to me seemeth more proper to other effects .

  Andreas Ornithoparcus his Micrologus, or Introduction: containing the art of singing Digested into foure bookes. Not onely profitable, but also necessary for all that are studious of musicke. Also the dimension and perfect vse of the monochord, according to Guido Aretinus. By Iohn Douland lutenist, lute-player, and Bachelor of Musicke in both the Vniuersities. 1609.

summary:
  Among those things wherwith the mind of man is wont to be delighted , I can finde nothing that is more great , more healthfull , more honest , than Musicke : DEre Arnold , whereas mans intellect in it beginning is naked and without forme , and hath nothing in it , but a possibility to receiue formes , many haue doubted why the high Creatour did not giue knowledge naturally to man as well as to other sensible creatures .
