Edward Leigh, a lay theologian and contemporary of the Westminster divines, commented on Colossians 3:16:
Teaching and admonishing one another in Psalmes, and Hymnes, and spiritual Songs] See Ephes. 5.19. In both which places, as the Apostle exhorteh us to singing, so he instructeth what the matter of our Song should be, viz. Psalms, Hymns, and spiritual Songs. Those three are the Titles of the Songs of David, as they are delivered to us by the Holy Ghost himself; some of them are called Mizmorim Psalmes; some Tehillim Hymns; some Shirim Songs, Spiritual Songs.
For the reference, see Edward Leigh on psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs.
