II. All stops to be observed which occur before the accented syllable in each half verse;

but all which occur after it to be totally disregarded.

III. Stress to be laid (not a pause made) on each accented syllable; and all syllables

which follow it before the first bar, to be lightly, though distinctly, uttered.

Any chants, whether Gregorian or single or double Anglican, may be used; but the editor strongly recommends the exclusion of all florid chants, whether double or single; and suggests as models for congregational use, such chants as Tallis' well-known beautiful tone in,F, or the 6th Gregorian tone.

Venite, exultemus Domino.

To-day if ye will hear his voice, hàrden | not your hearts as in the provocation, and as in the day of temptation | in the | wilder- | -ness; When your fathers tempted | me pròved me, and saw my works.

Forty years long was I grieved, with this gene-ration and said: It is a people that do err in their hearts, for they | have not | known my ways. Unto whom I swàre | in my wrath they should not | enter | into my rest.
