A great deal of religious verse was written by English poets during the 17th century, much of which was set to music by the composers of the day. These musical settings became very popular, especially towards the latter part of the century. They were not intended for performance in church, but were designed rather for domestic music making. Several collections were published, the largest and best known being Henry Playford's Harmonia Sacra, published in two parts in 1688 and 1693 and reprinted several times up to 1726.
