[VirginiaHuguenot]

Ambrose, Hexameron, V.12:

Who is he, bearing the sense of a man, which is not ashamed to end the day without singing of Psalms, seeing even the little birdes, with solemn devotion and sweet notes, do both begin and ende the daie.

 

[Presbyterian Deacon]

Martin Luther said:

Whoever wants to arouse himself to devotion, should take up the Psalms.

 

[Guido's Brother]

Ambrose, Hexameron, V.12:

Who is he, bearing the sense of a man, which is not ashamed to end the day without singing of Psalms, seeing even the little birdes, with solemn devotion and sweet notes, do both begin and ende the daie.

I had no idea that Ambrose wrote in such antiquated English.
