The 1673 Preface to the Psalms of David in Metre, says, among other things: "Now though spiritual songs of mere human composure may have their use, yet our devotion is best secured, where the matter and words are of immediately Divine inspiration; and to us David's Psalms seem plainly intended by those terms of Psalms and Hymns and Spiritual Songs, which the Apostle useth, Ephes. 5.19, Col. 3.16."

Does anyone know what the reasoning of these divines was on allowing for "spiritual songs of mere human composure"?
