Person either skill'd in the Voice or Instrument and let him Sing or Play your Eight Notes over with you till you can retain the sound in your Memory so well as you may be able to do it without him And when you are perfect in this first Example here is a second Example a little harder which is called Thirds because of the skipping from the first Note to the Third and so missing a Note upon every Key as you rise and fall sol mi la fa mi sol fa la la fa sol mi fa la mi sol But for fear you should not rightly understand what I mean by skipping a Note I have set you a third Example thus Sol la mi sol mi la mi fa la fa mi fa sol mi sol fa sol la fa la la sol fa la fa sol fa mi sol mi fa mi la fa la mi la sol mi sol You see now from the first Note of this Example you Ascend three Notes gradually as you were Taught before in your Eight Notes and then you fall to your first again then leaving out the second Note which should be Alamire you skip from the first to the third or from Gsolreut to Bfabemi which will be the same thing with the Second Example called Thirds And the same Method you must observe in the rest of this Example Also the like must be done with Fourths Fifths Sixths Sevenths and Eighths As you may see in this Fourth Example wherein these several Leaps or Skippings in general are proved Sol la mi sol mi sol la mi fa sol fa sol la mi fa sol sol sol Sol la mi fa sol la sol la sol la mi fa sol la fa sol fa Sol la mi fa sol la fa sol sol sol sol fa la sol la sol fa la sol sol sol sol fa la sol fa sol fa Sol fa la sol fa mi sol mi sol fa la sol fa mi la sol la Sol fa la sol fa mi la sol sol sol I shall now proceed to give you some Instruction in the Flats and Sharps which are two Characters of a different Quality and much used in Musick A Flat is known upon a Line or Space by this mark ♭ and a Sharp by this ♯ and the use of them are to Flat and Sharp any Note they are placed before As for Example Suppose you were singing your Eight Notes and when you come to Csolfa or the first Fa above your Mi you should find a Sharp in that Space you must not Sing it as I directed you in your first Example of Tuning the Voice where I told you it was but half a Note or Tone above your Mi but you must sing it a whole Tone above your Mi for the Quality of a Sharp is to raise any Note it is Placed before half a Note or Tone higher or to speak like a Musician sharper than it was before Also when you descend to a Sharp as from Ela to Dlasol or from Alamire to Gsolreut and a Sharp should be in Dlasol or Gsolreut then you are to fall but half a Note which is a Melancholly sound as I before told you all half Notes were either rising or falling and consequently you may easily distinguish whether you sound it right or not for it is like falling from Ffaut to Ela or from Csolfa to Bfabemi A Flat when it is placed before any Note which you should sound a whole Tone or Note higher than the Note immediately before it obliges you to sound it but half so high in the same manner as from Bfabemi to Csolfa or from Ela to Ffaut Observe also that when these Flats or Sharps are placed at the beginning of your five Lines immediately after your Cliff they serve to all the Notes that shall happen in that Line or Space where you see them placed unless it is contradicted by a Flat or Sharp placed before that Note which the Composer has a mind should be so And when they are not placed at the beginning they serve only to those Notes they are placed before To conclude I have made it my Endeavour so to perfect and finish this Work that nothing should be wanting to render it useful to the End it is designed Upon Mr. WILLIAM BARTONS Elaborate Translation of the Sacred Book of PSALMS GO Book and serve thy Master none so great His Gift alone did make thee so compleat Polish the Fabrick of reformed Times Fresh fair and fine to flourish as thy Rhimes Lo thou hast art the learned to content To please the curious thou art eloquent Quickness thou giv'st to those that quickness want And dost interpret to the ignorant The scrupulous thy skill doth satisfy And captious carpers are convinc'd thereby Thy price is little but thy worth is such That every leaf deserveth twice as much Approved by us Thomas Case George Walker James Nalton Jer.
