Eph.5.b.19.

give greatness to His Name, and confess Him with the voice of your lips. Paul writes further: ‡ Speak to one another with psalms and songs of praise and spiritual songs; sing and play to the Lord in your hearts. Also
Jacob.5.b.13.

James: * Is anyone among you in trouble? Let him pray. Is anyone happy? Let him sing psalms. Thus we have now gathered, from various copies, both printed and handwritten, such Songs as aforementioned, to be added to the Book of Offerings, for these songs are partly made by those whose confessions stand in the Book of Offerings (of which we hope to provide a distinction and place it in the margin where the Song shall begin). Because they treat of the same subject, it serves well to be together, so that everyone who is desirous to sing or to read may carry both with him in a small book, to read or to sing according to his mood. But when you sing, see well to it that it happens for the praise of the Lord.

Firstly begins a Song of the

suffering of our Lord Jesus Christ.

A large ornamental drop cap 'V' is decorated with foliage and floral motifs, beginning the first song.
Vant Of the suffering of our Lord Jesus Christ, (unfailing)
In the bitter suffering of Christ, humble
Abundant // Scripture

Christus Jesus thus left standing
The vile vessels // of the Jewish rebels
Came to Him very wrathful and fierce
To capture with torment
But none of them acted quickly.
