Title
A Puritan Family
Caption
A Puritan Family. Father teaching his family to sing Psalms rather than "vayne and tryflying ballades". From the position of his hands it seems he is using a mnemonic device such as the Guidonian hand to signal which note to sing. From frontispiece of "Tenor of the whole Psalmes in Four Parts" London 1563. Woodcut
