An Exposition of the Last Psalme

A seventeenth-century sermon offers a close, clause-by-clause exposition of Psalm 150, distinguishing praise expressed outwardly through instruments and public rites from praise offered inwardly by the spirit. It argues that God is especially to be praised in and through the saints, defends commemorative holy days and liturgical festivals as means to honor God rather than to worship the dead, and criticizes practices judged to elevate human mediatorship. Drawing on patristic authorities and scriptural citations, the text blends theological argument, pastoral instruction, and practical liturgical guidance to shape proper worship and communal remembrance.
