that_o music_n whether_o it_o be_v in_o the_o voice_n only_o as_o socrates_n think_v or_o both_o in_o the_o voice_n and_o motion_n of_o the_o body_n as_o aristoxenus_n suppose_v or_o as_o

the_o ancient_a philosopher_n attribute_v this_o to_o a_o hide_a divine_a virtue_n which_o they_o suppose_v natural_o to_o be_v ingenerate_v in_o our_o mind_n &_o for_o this_o cause_n some_o other_o of_o they_o as_o herophilus_n &_o aristoxenus_n which_o be_v also_o a_o musician_n think_v that_o the_o soul_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o a_o musical_a motion_n cause_v of_o the_o nature_n &_o figure_n of_o the_o whole_a body_n gather_v thereof_o 〈◊〉_d necessary_a conclusion_n that_o whereas_o thing_n that_o be_v of_o like_a nature_n have_v mutual_a &_o easy_a action_n &_o passion_n between_o themselves_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v quaest_a that_o musical_a consent_n be_v like_o that_o harmonical_a motion_n which_o he_o call_v the_o soul_n do_v most_o wonderful_o allure_v &_o as_o

whole_o destitute_a of_o the_o use_n of_o reason_n we_o see_v that_o the_o child_n be_v still_v and_o allure_v to_o sleep_v with_o the_o sweet_a song_n and_o lullabye_n of_o his_o nurse_n although_o the_o grief_n of_o his_o tender_a limb_n be_v such_o as_o be_v able_a to_o breed_v impatience_n in_o a_o strong_a body_n and_o for_o this_o cause_n be_v it_o that_o child_n be_v so_o delight_v and_o allure_v with_o rattle_v and_o bell_n and_o such_o like_a toy_n as_o make_v a_o sound_n now_o as_o strength_n &_o judgement_n increase_v in_o man_n so_o music_n please_v and_o delight_v he_o more_o
