THE PUBLIC WORSHIP OF GOD: UNACCOMPANIED PSALMODY & A DAY TO BE OBSERVED

This book presents arguments in favour of adopting in sung praise in the Public worship of God only Biblical Psalms without the use of instrumental accompaniment. Additionally, reasons are given for observing the first day of the week as the Lord's day or Christian Sabbath, treating it as a day to be kept holy to the Lord.
