Abstract	This book is a study of the common origins and parallel development of English and Dutch metrical psalmody, from Coverdale's Goostly psalmes and spirituall songes (c.1535) to Utenhove's De Psalmen Dauidis, in Nederlandischer sangs-syme (1566). The principal concern is with hymnological and liturgical matters, though the author also considers questions of theology and church government. In so doing he presents both a compendium of information about the early history of the metrical psalm texts and tunes, and also a clear picture of the Reformation in its musical and hymnological aspects.
