Singing of Psalmes a Gospel-ordinance

A rigorous defense of congregational psalm-singing as a binding New Testament ordinance. John Cotton addresses four contested questions: whether vocal singing is required, whether David's Psalms are the proper matter, who may sing (including women and the unregenerate), and whether meter and invented tunes are lawful. Engaging objectors point by point, Cotton grounds every argument in Scripture and reason, offering a foundational statement for the Reformed tradition of sung worship.
