A10851	The art of pronuntiation digested into two parts. Vox audienda, & vox videnda. In the first of which are set foorth the elements and seuerall parts of the voice: in the second are described diuers characters, by which euery part of the voice may be aptly known and seuerall distinguished. Very necessary as well thereby to know the naturall structure of the voice, as speedily to learne the exact touch of pronuntiation of any forraine language whatsoeuer. Newly inuented by Robert Robinson Londoner.	Robinson, Robert, Londoner.	1617 (1617)	STC 21122; ESTC S102581	16,009	62

one altogether ignorant vnacquainted with such language as aptly and truly to pronounce it as any one to whom the same is naturally the speech wherein he hath been alwayes trained and instructed from the very time of his infancy this only excepted that the vnaccustomed mixture of the sounds of the voice may at first cause a more slow vtterance And for that cause hauing gathered together diuers letters and characters of sundry sorts and formes I found none so meet in respect of the accents which are necessarily to be placed ouer them as those which were shortest and of an equall length and so hauing my selfe framed some few I took the rest to make vp my number and as the best for my purpose out of the Roman and Secretary letters but haue not so vsed and placed them in the same sence and order as they were formerly in their owne Alphabets but haue diuersly disposed of them accordingly as seemed fittest for my vse and the order of the worke did best require And touching such places wherein I haue bin compelled in respect of the order of the worke to speak of matters incident to musick for that they are not much pertinent to this art of pronuntiation I haue therefore but lightly and briefly touched them referring such matters to the teachers and professors of that science And thus hauing shewed the occasion order and intent of this my treatise being the fruit of wearied times between other labors I cōmit it to the view practise of those that shall think it meet for their vse or experience leauing these few verses to plead my excuse if any errors haue hapned by reason of my great want of learning ROBERT ROBINSON Candide des veniam placidū nec contra●e frontem Inficiat chartas si qua litura meas Nec mihi sollucem nec praebuit aura calorē Me tenebris cinctum frigida zona premit Sin redeat mihi fausta dies si denique Phoebus Lumine percutiat lumina nostra suo Tum nitar meliora sequi tū menda vicissim Tot mihi lux a biget quot mihi lux aperit Vox Audienda Or THE ELEMENTS OF MANS Voice What the Voice is THE Voice is a composition of diuers simple sounds intermixed together What a simple sound is A simple sound is the least part or member of the voice framed in one only place and by one only manner proper to it selfe What a sound is and of the efficient thereof A sound is an accident effected by the opposition of these two contraries namely motion and restraint motion of the ayre out of the inward parts of the body and restraint of it in its motion Of the efficient causes of this motion and restraint The causes of this motion and restraint are primary and secondary the primary is spirituall the secondary is instrumentall the spiritual cause is alike to both the instrumentall causes are different some proper to motion and others proper to restraint Of the primary and spirituall cause of this motion and restraint The spirituall cause is the minde which God hauing made it most like to his glorious image hath placed in this Microcosmos of mans body as a principall ruler thereof vnder him giuing it such power ouer all the parts of the body that as God himselfe is the first mouer of the whole vniuersall world who only by his infinit power appointeth both an orderly course and limitation in the motion of all his workes so himselfe hath granted and ordained that the minde of man should bee the first moouer of this little world of the body wherein it is inclosed and of euery member and particle of it made fit for motion and hath giuen it a liberty to be accompted for to order restraine and limit those motions as it selfe listeth Of the instrumentall causes of this motion They are the lungs and hollow parts of the body wherein the ayre is contained which being drawne together by the motion or rather the will of the mind doe thereby expell the ayre and cause it to be mooued through diuers passages as the throat mouth and nostrils Of the instrumentall causes of the restraint of this motion They are the breast throat pallat gums tongue lips and nostrils stopping or hindering the free passage of the ayre in it's motion How the diuersity of sounds vsed in mans voice happen They happen vpon these three occasions First by the diuersity of the instruments of restraint Secondly by reason of the diuers places of restraint And thirdly in respect of the different manner of restraint both by the seuerall instruments and in the seuerall places Of the generall parts of the sounds in mans voice so occasioned There are two generall partes some different only in quantity and are most pertinēt to Musique others only in quality which are most necessary for speech Of the number of sounds of different quantity They are in number vncertaine to wit in some men more and in some men lesse Of two seuerall orders wherein these sounds are different in quantity The sounds of different quantity are two-fold first in respect of their different height of sound secondly by reason of their different measure of time wherein they are sounded Of the place of framing of the sounds different in quantity and the cause of their different heights They are caused by the instrument of the throat which according to the greater or lesser restraining of the ayre passing through in one and the same place doth cause sometimes a more shrill and lowd noise somtimes a more base and deep sound but neuer differeth the quality more or lesse Of the reason of their different measure of time It is because they are sounded by a different continuance of the motion of the breath sometimes beeing finished in a shorter time and sometimes continued to a longer Of the number of sounds of different quality whereof the speech is framed They are in number certaine to wit fiue and twenty and by their seuerall instruments and places are diuersly framed in such sort as afterwards shall be spoken of Of the framing of the speeche by the said sounds of different quality Of the simple sounds aforesaid of different quality are framed sillables of sillables words and of words the whole order of speech What a syllable is A sillable is the pronouncing of one of the simple sounds of different quality by it selfe alone or of two or more of them orderly framed and knit together without any intermission of time put between them What a word is A word is either one sillable alone or els two or mo sillables hauing a very small intermission of time and stay of the breath between euery of them by which any one thing conceiued in the minde or perceiued through the sences is distinctly named and knowne from others What the speech is The speech is an orderly knitting together of diuers words whereby any thing forethought of in the mind is sensibly expressed
