The whole booke of Psalmes. Collected into English meeter by Thomas Sternhold, Iohn Hopkins, and others: conferred with the Hebrew; with apt notes to sing them withall. Set forth and allowed to be sung in all churches, of all the people together, before and after morning and evening prayer, as 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.
