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.
