EVANGELICAL APPLICATION AND USE OF THE PSALMS. The Commentary of the late Bp. Horne on the Book of Psalms greatly strengthened and extended the conviction, that the Evangelical Use of the Psalter was, in a considerable measure, withheld from those.Members of the Established Church who were confined in their Psalmody to the Old and New Versions. That Commentary proceeds on the following principle, laid down by the Bishop in his remarks on the Seventy-eighth Psalm— The History of Old Israel somewhat resembles the letter of the Gospel Parables; and contains, shadowed out under it, the History of a correspondent state of things in the New Israel, or Church Christian: and, although the Psalm, like a large and capacious palace, be laid out into a multitude of different apartments; yet, perhaps, we may find, that the Scriptures of the New Testament will furnish us with a Key, which will gain us admission into every one of them, and put us in possession of the treasures of Divine Wisdom therein deposited. Other Denominations of Christians had, in a great degree, long enjoyed, in Dr. Watts's Version, the true savour and spirit of the Psalter; which entirely pervade, with a much closer adherence to the Original, the recent Version of the late Rev. William Goode: by the permission of the family of his deceased friend, the Editor has made ample use of the last-mentioned Version. All power and grace to God belong. FIRST LINES OF PSALMS.
