the_o figure_n of_o 1._o 2._o 3._o or_o 4._o for_o these_o figure_n represent_v the_o 4._o finger_n of_o the_o left_a or_o stop_a hand_n the_o figure_n of_o 1._o represent_v the_o first_o or_o

the_o letter_n that_o letter_n must_v be_v strike_v upward_o this_o well_o note_v begin_v to_o play_v these_o stop_n and_o stroke_n follow_v strike_v they_o by_o 4._o and_o 4._o all_o in_o one_o length_n of_o time_n until_o you_o can_v play_v it_o a_o pace_n or_o run_v it_o quick_a do_v these_o point_n perfect_o not_o strive_v at_o it_o but_o with_o such_o ease_n as_o if_o you_o do_v it_o careless_o observe_v the_o carriage_n both_o of_o hand_n &_o body_n &_o when_o you_o be_v weary_a leave_v it_o and_o to_o it_o again_o but_o go_v to_o it_o with_o a_o willing_a mind_n kni._n how_o

of_o his_o hart_n make_v every_o stroke_n a_o semibrefe_n &_o then_o as_o he_o multiply_v in_o perfectness_n so_o he_o shall_v multiply_v in_o fastness_n of_o time_n whereby_o be_v to_o be_v note_v that_o from_o one_o time_n all_o other_o be_v multiply_v &_o double_v as_o for_o example_n this_o long_a stroke_n here_o be_v in_o tabulature_n a_o semibrefe_n which_o by_o add_v of_o one_o dash_v to_o the_o top_n as_o thus_o make_v it_o double_a his_o time_n that_o be_v twice_o as_o fast_o a_o time_n as_o it_o be_v before_o and_o by_o add_v one_o dash_n more_o to_o that_o dash_n thus_o make_v
