A60527	An essay to the advancement of musick by casting away the perplexity of different cliffs, and uniting all sorts of musick, lute, viol, violin, organ, harpsechord, voice, &c. in one universal character / by Thomas Salmon ...	Salmon, Thomas, 1648-1706.; Birchensha, John, fl. 1664-1672.	1672 (1672)	Wing S417; ESTC R4288	33,905	115

key_n of_o a_o harpsechord_n to_o be_v a_o exact_a emblem_n of_o our_o hypothesis_n as_o we_o before_o explain_v it_o and_o consequent_o they_o be_v most_o suitable_a to_o that_o method_n they_o so_o

prove_v that_o every_o thing_n remain_v the_o same_o and_o so_o our_o alteration_n be_v as_o good_a as_o none_o at_o all_o 1._o in_o our_o movement_n by_o octave_n all_o the_o line_n and_o space_n

the_o compass_n of_o the_o instrument_n will_v permit_v but_o if_o any_o shall_v be_v put_v out_o by_o their_o fancy_n let_v they_o set_v their_o hand_n right_a and_o shut_v their_o eye_n and_o i_o will_v warrant_v they_o they_o do_v it_o it_o must_v not_o be_v expect_v that_o this_o will_v fall_v out_o so_o very_o pat_o on_o other_o instrument_n except_o in_o the_o tune_n of_o the_o viol_n last_o propose_v neither_o be_v it_o my_o fault_n for_o i_o have_v not_o undertake_v to_o alter_v the_o situation_n of_o the_o note_n upon_o the_o instrument_n but_o in_o the_o book_n that_o the_o

have_v always_o have_v a_o undeniable_a sovereignty_n over_o other_o instrumental_a music_n since_o that_o itself_o be_v a_o complete_a consort_n sound_v with_o such_o a_o soft_a but_o powerful_a sweetness_n as_o if_o it_o be_v well_o acquaint_v with_o all_o the_o intrigue_n of_o the_o mind_n sometime_o disarm_v anger_n and_o with_o its_o gentle_a breath_n cool_v a_o revengeful_a rage_n sometime_o by_o a_o contrary_a power_n it_o kindle_v a_o delightful_a flame_n and_o raise_v a_o kind_a but_o no_o less_o fiery_a passion_n as_o it_o be_v observe_v that_o music_n do_v always_o

or_o melancholy_n but_o upon_o what_o account_n soever_o it_o be_v you_o may_v observe_v the_o lute_n to_o be_v in_o so_o great_a esteem_n among_o all_o romancer_n that_o they_o never_o make_v

ornament_n of_o the_o spring_n they_o present_v they_o with_o a_o lute_n to_o court_v those_o mistress_n all_o the_o world_n know_v they_o have_v deserve_v but_o be_v at_o last_o force_v to_o use_v this_o overcomnig_a music_n as_o be_v of_o proportionate_a power_n to_o charm_v with_o that_o of_o their_o prodigious_a sword_n to_o conquer_v and_o even_o the_o grave_a philosopher_n themselves_o have_v so_o great_a a_o reverence_n for_o it_o that_o their_o musical_a experiment_n be_v always_o quote_v in_o the_o name_n of_o a_o lutestring_n but_o the_o lute_n be_v so_o general_o acknowledge_v supreme_a that_o it_o be_v as_o needless_a for_o i_o to_o prove_v it_o as_o it_o be_v impertinent_a to_o my_o purpose_n wherefore_o we_o will_v now_o only_o inquire_v what_o concern_v it_o have_v in_o

the_o difficulty_n will_v not_o be_v find_v sufficient_a to_o countermand_v such_o great_a conveniency_n as_o will_v flow_v from_o hence_o for_o if_o one_o can_v but_o tell_v how_o the_o gamut_n be_v situate_v as_o the_o next_o cut_n explain_v it_o he_o may_v write_v out_o any_o treble_a upon_o the_o lute_n and_o a_o little_a more_o knowledge_n will_v contrive_v a_o base_a now_o if_o a_o scholar_n shall_v make_v no_o further_o progress_n than_o this_o yet_o it_o will_v be_v a_o pretty_a accomplishment_n to_o be_v able_a to_o set_v a_o tune_n and_o for_o one_o that_o be_v well_o verse_v in_o

by_o a_o rest_n over_o its_o head_n in_o the_o treble_a arrons_n gigue_n by_o note_n by_o letter_n i_o confess_v when_o it_o be_v necessary_a to_o manage_v the_o lute_n in_o two_o or_o three_o
