now_o we_o use_v canon_n either_o to_o show_v art_n or_o to_o make_v short_a work_n or_o to_o try_v other_o cunning_a thus_o the_o eight_o chapter_n of_o diminution_n diminution_n which_o be_v more_o true_o call_v syncopation_n be_v the_o vary_v of_o note_n of_o the_o first_o quantity_n as_o write_v fran._n li._n 2._o pr._n 14._o or_o it_o be_v a_o certain_a cut_v off_o of_o the_o measure_n for_o

therefore_o general_o it_o shall_v be_v call_v syncopation_n not_o diminution_n because_o it_o be_v a_o kind_n of_o syncopation_n of_o the_o kind_n of_o syncopation_n of_o this_o there_o be_v two_o

of_o two_o quantity_n not_o of_o one_o as_o elsewhere_o we_o will_v more_o large_o show_v of_o diminution_n diminution_n as_o the_o ancient_n think_v be_v the_o take_v away_o of_o the_o three_o part_n from_o the_o measure_n but_o the_o opinion_n of_o the_o modern_n be_v more_o true_a and_o laudable_a which_o make_v no_o difference_n betwixt_o diminution_n and_o semiditie_n as_o joan_n tinctoris_n
