Newest Printing office, on the south side of the Jersey-
Market, Philadelphia, An Appeal from the synod of New York
and Philadelphia, against the Rev. Samuel Harker, pastor of
the church at Black River, in East Jersey;  Written by
himself.   Likewise this day is published, and sold by said
Dunlap, the second edition of The Lawfulness, Excellency,
and Advantage of Instrumental Musick in the publick worship
of God, urged and enforced from scripture, and the example
of the far greater part of Christians in all ages. 
Addressed to all (particularly the Presbyterians and
Baptists) who have hitherto been taught to look upon the Use
of Instrumental Musick in the worship of God as unlawful. 
By a Presbyterian.
  Musick hath charms to soothe the savage breast,
  To soften rocks, and bend the knotted oak.  Congreve.
**The kind reception of the public have been pleased to give
this small performance (which is calculated to promote the
good of religious society in general) has induced us to give
it a second edition, the first being all disposed of in a
very short time after publication.
