Musick's monument; or, A remembrancer of the best practical musick, both divine, and civil, that has ever been known, to have been in the world. Divided into three parts. The first part, shews a necessity of singing psalms well, in parochial churches, or not to sing at all; directing, how they may be well sung, certainly; by two several ways, or means; with an assurance of a perpetual national-quire; and also shewing, how cathedral musick, may be much improved, and refined. The second part, Treats of the noble lute, (the best of instruments) now made easie; and all its occult-lock'd-up-secrets plainly laid open, never before discovered; whereby it is now become so familiarly easie, as any instrument of worth, known in the world; giving the true reasons of its former difficulties; and proving its present facility, by undeniable arguments; directing the most ample way, for the use of the Theorboe, from off the note, in consort, &c. Shewing a general way of procuring invention, and playing voluntarily, upon the lute, viol, or and other instrument; with two pritty devices; the one, shewing how to translate lessons, from one tuning, or instrument, to another; the other, an indubitable way, to know the best tuning, upon any instrument: both done by example. In the third part, the generous viol, in its rightest use, is treated upon; with some curious observations, never before handled, concerning it, and musick in general / by Tho. Mace, one of the Clerks of Trinity Colledge, in the University of Cambridge.

An examination of the Lord Bishop of London's discourses concerning the use and intent of prophecy. : In which these following points are chiefly explaned [sic] and affirmed. I. That the use of prophecy, as it was taught and practised by Christ, His Apostles, and evangelists, was drawn intirely from single and separate prædictions, gathered by them from the books of the law and the Prophets, and applied, independently on each other, to the several acts and circumstances of the life of Jesus, as so many distinct proofs of His divine mission. And consequently, that His Lordship's pretended chain of antediluvian prophecies, is nothing else, but a fanciful conceit, which has no connection at all with the evidence of the Gospel. II. That the Bishop's exposition of his text is forced, unnatural, and inconsistent with the sense of St. Peter, from whose epistle it is taken. III. That the historical interpretation, which he gives to the account of the fall, is absurd and contradictory to reason: and that the said account cannot be considered, under any other character, than that of allegory, apologue, or moral fable. IV. That the oracles of the heathen world, which His Lordship delcares to have been given out by the Devil, in the form of a serpent, were all impostures, wholly managed by human craft, without any supernatural aid, or interposition whatsoever. / By Conyers Middleton, D.D..

Dr. Brodum, oculist and herbalist, (from Mecklengurgh [sic] Strelitz, in Germany) : No. 19, Queen Street, Bloomsbury Square, respectfully acquaints the nobility, gentry, and the public in general, that he is returned to this metropolis, having entirely recruited his health; and though the Doctor is sensible that it is unusual for the Faculty in England to circulate accounts of cures through the medium of pamphlets, bills, &c. yet he feels himself perfectly justified in rendering the public his services; though contrary to the established custom. For why should the afflicted suffer on account of a form laid down by a particular description of men? Especially, having been urged thereto by some of his patients, who were given over as incurable by the Faculty, alledging that, ``to withold a remedy from the afflicted, is, in fact, little less than murder." To establish the Doctor's scientific skill and goodness of heart, the following recreated persons, whom the Doctor has had the blessing to cure, have solicited to be published, that the world may be acquainted where to fly for relief: his admirable knowledge (through long experience) of different disorders, by the means of the urine, though sent to him from different counties, has established the Doctor's fame.

The glory of Christ unveil'd, or the excellency of Christ vindicated in his person, love, righteousness, &c. being an explication of the mystery which was kept secret since the world began: Wherein the Doctrine of the Holy Trinity is manifested in the Glory-Man, Jesus: And that Christ's bearing the Filth of our Sin in his own Sufferings, was a Part of the Atonement he made to God for the Elect; set forth against the Socinian and Neonomian Triumphs, and agaisnt some other Cowardly Profession. It is likewise demonstrated that an Interest in Christ is built alone upon the Free, Absolute and Everlasting Love of the Father, Son and Spirit, towards a Remnant in Christ Jesus, against the Arminiant. And therein is some Account given of the Mystery of the Elect and their Union in Christ Jesus before the Foundation of the World; proving that their Free Grace-Union according to God's Ancient Settlements was never, as to the Comprehensive and Supreme Relation of the Elect in Jesus Christ, destroy'd by their Subordinate Nature-Fall in Adam. To these Things are added a Vindication of the Excellency of God's Free Grace against the whole Arminian Scheme. And Lastly, The Spiritual Operations of the Holy Ghost are vindicated, as the immediate Spring, Life and Source of all Practical Religion. Occasion'd by divers notorious errours in the writings of Mr. John Hunt of Northampton, and many other writers, preachers and professours of the Gospel on most sides: Who instead of increasing on the Foundation at this Day, have shamefully cast off the First Faith. And that now when the Water of Euphrates, or the Power of the Turk since the Peace of Carlowitz, hath been eminently dryed up, so as not to overflow the Western Monarchy as heretofore. And now likewise, altho' for the Elect's sake, God has shortened the Days, upon the Rising of the Two Witnesses in England, who rose and stood upon their Feet in this Street of the great City, Anno 1687, where they had been Stain in their open Testimony of experimental Religion, just Three Years and a half preceding. Yea, to make way for the coming of the Glorious Kingdom of Christ, we have seen the Seventh Angel in the Ministry of Christ, (presently for Dispatch since this last Liberty) pouring forth his Vial into the Air, which hath said with a great voice out of the Temple of Heaven from the Throne of the Glory-Man, it is Done: All is done in Christ Jesus before Believing. And on this has been further utter'd, The Kingdoms of this World are become the Kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ, and He shall Reign for ever and ever. Nevertheless Deserters of the Faith, even so far as was believ'd the Last Age, by their Unbelieving Voices from the Pulpit, and angry Thunders awing the People, have drown'd the Report of the 7th Angel. Time now for more Lightnings to come forth after them, towards the Advance of a Spiritual Reformation breath'd after. By Joseph Hussey, a Poor Despised Servant of Jesus Christ, and Pastour of the Congregational Church of Christ at Cambridge.
