1. _Dauid_ inuiteth all the Citizens of heauen, _O praise G.o.d in his sanctuarie, praise him in the firmament of his power_.

2. All the dwellers vpon earth, _praise him in the sound of the trumpet, praise him vpon the lute and harpe, &c._

3. Both and all, _let euery thing that hath breath_, euery thing which hath either the life of nature, or of grace, or of glorie, let _euery spirit_ [fq]whether it be terrestriall or celestiall, of whatsoeuer condition, age, s.e.xe, _praise the Lord_.

It is a [fr]_Rabbinical_ conceit that this hymne consists of 13.

_Halleluiahs_, answering 13. Properties of G.o.d mentioned Exod. 34. 6.7.

verses, and in that our Prophet after a dozen _Halleluiahs_ hath not done, but addeth a thirteenth, hee doth insinuate that when all our deuotion is finished, it is our dutie to begin againe with G.o.ds praise, for as [fs]of him, and thorough him, and for him, are all things, euen so to him is due all glorie for euermore: as his mercies are from euerlasting to euerlasting, from euerlasting election, to euerlasting glorification: so likewise his praises are to bee sung for euer and euer. In this life we begin this hymne singing (as musitians speake) in _breifs_ and _semibriefs_ a staffe or two, but in the world to come standing before the throne of the Lambe, clothed in long white robes, accompanied with all the sweet voyces of heauens incomparable melodious quire: we shall eternally sing, [ft]_Holy, holy, holy, Lord G.o.d almightie, which was, and which is, and which is to come, [fu]praise, and glorie, and wisdome, and power, and might, be vnto our G.o.d for euermore._ Amen.
