y produce, will attone for my dilating on
so delightful a Subject; All I have therefore to add is, some _Advice_
to the _Ringer_, in the Lawfull prosecuting this _Recreation_; and that
is this.

When God in _Israels Exodus_ out of _Egypt_, commanded _Moses_ to
Consecrate _Aaron_, and his Sons, and invest them with those
_Pontificial_ Vestments, according to the Pattern God had cut out, it is
observable, that the _Robe_ of the _Ephod_, was with a particular
Circumstance of Beauty to be Adorned, by hanging the _Hem_ of it with
_Golden Bells_, and _Pomegranates_, each placed in an orderly Position,
one by another round: This was the first institution we can read of, for
the Use _Bells_ in Sacred Offices; but the reason was this: Because in
_Aarons_ Ministration before God, when he entered into the Holy Place,
and when he came out, the Sound of the _Bells_ might be heard in the
_Temple_, for a _Memorial_ to the Children of his People. This Use of
Bells continue in the _Aaronical_ Order, to this day. From hence the
_Christian Church_ likewise (of which the Church under the _Mosaic_
Dispensation was but a _Type_) has made Use of _Bells_, for the
notifying the Time when the People are to Assemble, and made a Signal
for convocating them together to the _Temple_; and herein differing from
the _Mahometans_, in the _Steeples_ of whose _Temples_, are never found
any _Bells_, but _Cryers_, Persons who with a loud Voyce call them to
Prayers.

Now then let us make this Use of the Institution of _Bells_. _First_,
Let not only the _Musick_ and _Delight_ the _Bells_ give thee, invite
thee to come to the _Temple_, to be partaker of that Pleasure they may
afford thy Body, but let their _Musick_ invite thee to come thither when
they call thee, to exercise thy Soul in Devotion; to God. Do not let thy
frequent coming thither on _Week-days_ for thy Diversion, make thee
absent thy self on _Sundays_ from thy Devotion; but let their Original
Use make thee mindful of the _Sanctum Sanctorum_, the most Holy Place.
Do not let the _Sunday_ Mornings Peal engage thy presence then, and the
_Ale-House_ have thy company afterwards. Be as quick in hearing the
_Chyming_ for _Prayers_, as thou art in the _Notes_ for _Pleasure_.

_When ere the _Old-Exchange_ of Profit Rings,
Her Silver _Saints-Bell_, of uncertain Gains,
Thy Merchant-soul can stretch both _Legs & Wings_,
How canst thou run, and take unwearied Pains?_

And shouldst thou not be as ni
