The whole book of Psalms, . collected into English metre, by Thomas Sternhold, John Hopkins, and others; conferr'd with the Hebrew: set forth and allowed to be sung in all churches, of all the people together, before and after morning and evening prayer; and also before and after sermons; and moreover in private houses, for their godly solace and comfort: laying apart all ungodly songs and ballads, which tend only to the nourishing of vice, and corrupting of youth.
John Hopkins (d.1570)
