The Whole Booke of Psalmes Faithfully Translated into English Metre: Whereunto is Prefixed a Discourse Declaring not Only the Lawfullness, but Also the Necessity of the Heavenly Ordinance of Singing Scripture Psalmes in the Churches of God...

printed in North America. Three decades
before the first successful English colony planted itself in Virginia, and only 20 years had past since Plimoth took root in Massachusetts Bay. Given the religious motives surrounding this
northern colony of Englishmen, it's not surprising the fist publication printed
would be of like kind.
Here is a complete copy of the book...in facsimile form...just
like you were holding the rare volume in your very hand...
