sound, the power of devils, the shsdos of phan-
tasms, the attack Of mobs the striking of light
nings, theshock of thnnders, the ruin Of tompcsts
and every spirit Of the storms, might be driven
back, and that, when tho children of Christian
lpeople should hear them ringing, the increase Of
devotion might grew in them, that, hastening
within the bosom of their mother church, they
may sing to God, In the church Of the saints, the
new song, coming thither with the sound Of the
trumpet tho modulation Of psaltery the sweetness
of the organ, the exulation of the drum the glad
ness Of the cymbal; so that in the temple Of bis
glory, by their pleadings and prayers, they may
invite the multitude eof the army Of angels. sg
