Haft made us kings and priests to God,
And we fhall reign with thee.

SINCE the death of my Brother, the late Dr. JOHN CLARKE, I think I am at liberty to say, that many of the variations and additions in this Collection of Psalms and Hymns, were either made or suggested by him ; that the alteration of the 149th Pfalm was altogether his own; and that the whole work paffed under his critical eye and correcting hand before it went to the prefs. For this, and for many other acts of Christian friendship, his memory will ever be precious to me.
