For the word is more generall; and comprehendeth all instruments of musick managed with the hand; not such onely, as being stringed, are touched with the fingers, as Lute and Harp; or struck over with a quill, as the Cittern; or with a bow, as the Viol; but such also as are shaken to and fro, as the Cymbal; or beaten with the hand or stick, as the Timbrel: and are opposed to the Nehiloth, or wind-instruments; that are managed by the wind or breath, Psal. 5. in the house of the LORD] This being one principall end and use of holy assemblies, to blesse the Lord in them for his benefits, Psalms 9:14. and 22. 22, 25. and 40. 10. and 66. 13,—15. and 111. 1. and 107. 32. and 149. 1. and 150. 1.
