a_o commendation_n of_o music_n and_o a_o confutation_n of_o they_o which_o dispraise_n it_o when_o first_o within_o the_o corpse_n of_o man_n dame_n nature_n build_v her_o bower_n she_o see_v what_o trouble_v eke_o &_o thrall_n be_v bend_v they_o to_o devower_v to_o who_o she_o give_v as_o in_o reward_n a_o pleasant_a note_n or_o sound_v their_o cark_n and_o care_n to_o dryve_v away_o whereby_o much_o ease_n be_v find_v whereof_o in_o child_n proof_n be_v have_v who_o nurse_n have_v in_o charge_n how_o soon_o they_o stop_v and_o stay_v their_o cry_n when_o she_o do_v sound_a at_o large_a the_o ploughman_n eke_o and_o carter_n both_o with_o ease_n do_v pass_v away_o in_o sing_v of_o some_o merry_a note_n their_o tranayle_n all_o the_o day_n wherefore_o to_o lady_n nature_n i_o do_v render_v praise_n and_o will_n by_o who_o not_o only_o man_n alone_o but_o bird_n in_o song_n have_v skill_n the_o poete_v fain_o that_o amphion_n who_o build_v thebes_n town_n do_v first_o invent_v the_o pleasant_a note_n whereby_o he_o get_v renown_n to_o dionysius_n some_o the_o name_n and_o some_o contrary_a wise_n to_o zephus_n who_o eusebius_n say_v the_o same_o do_v first_o devyse_n solinus_n say_v that_o man_n of_o crete_n by_o ring_n and_o sound_n of_o brass_n by_o thacbadianes_n do_v polybius_n say_v invent_v first_o it_o be_v in_o deed_n i_o think_v soon_o after_o that_o dame_n nature_n make_v the_o sound_n that_o reason_n do_v the_o measure_n make_v the_o concord_n and_o the_o ground_n and_o then_o in_o mercury_n first_o it_o wrought_v as_o author_n of_o the_o same_o the_o which_o even_o he_o as_o worthy_a praise_n do_v publish_v and_o proclaim_v then_o reason_n as_o one_o not_o full_o suffysde_v do_v seek_v for_o to_o devyse_v some_o instrument_n to_o geve_v a_o sound_n by_o who_o there_o do_v arise_v a_o foreward_n wit_n in_o mercury_n for_o to_o invent_v the_o same_o who_o make_v a_o harp_n of_o fish_n bone_n a_o torte_n call_v by_o name_n which_o he_o by_o nilus_n ryver_n find_v the_o fish_n be_v dry_v away_o and_o nothing_o but_o three_o sinew_n leave_v whereon_o he_o seek_v to_o play_v but_o when_o they_o give_v a_o sound_n again_o thus_o do_v the_o poete_n fain_o he_o make_v a_o harp_n much_o like_o that_o bone_n by_o thinuent_v of_o his_o brain_n three_o string_n to_o it_o do_v he_o apply_v a_o treble_a base_a and_o mean_a the_o which_o he_o make_v for_o to_o accord_v in_o music_n pleasant_a vain_a then_o he_o it_o to_o apollo_n give_v as_o gift_n of_o wondrous_a weyght_n and_o he_o the_o same_o to_o orpheus_n hand_n make_v redelivery_n straight_o some_o think_v amphion_n first_o it_o find_v and_o some_o to_o that_o say_v no_o and_o some_o in_o tubal_n think_v the_o like_a but_o that_o can_v not_o be_v so_o then_o pan_n the_o pipe_n apollo_n eke_o the_o shawm_n he_o do_v invent_v then_o david_n regalles_n seek_v to_o make_v by_o reason_n whole_a consent_n and_o orphen_n first_o with_o linus_n next_o and_o arion_n be_v by_o name_n timarias_n and_o trezenius_n both_o thereby_o do_v purchase_v same_o nor_o cibell_n yet_o with_o pisces_n too_o their_o labour_n aught_o do_v cease_v but_o in_o the_o same_o do_v sore_o apply_v their_o cunning_n too_o increase_v thus_o have_v we_o prove_v by_o poete_n lore_n how_o ancient_a music_n be_v and_o now_o i_o mean_v by_o scripture_n plain_n to_o prove_v the_o lykeiwis_n we_o read_v how_o david_n daunct_v and_o soung_a before_o the_o ark_n of_o god_n and_o how_o his_o wife_n which_o flout_v he_o be_v by_o the_o lord_n forbid_v for_o have_v child_n any_o more_o but_o barren_a shall_v she_o be_v whereby_o i_o prove_v that_o god_n be_v please_v with_o such_o like_a armony_n when_o miriam_n with_o the_o israelite_n the_o red_a sea_n deep_o have_v pass_v and_o pharaos_n host_n be_v drown_v all_o who_o do_v pursue_v they_o fast_o then_o take_v they_o timbrelle_n in_o their_o hand_n and_o to_o y_z e_z lord_n sing_v praise_v for_o that_o he_o be_v their_o aid_n and_o shyeld_v to_o pass_v the_o daungerouse_a sea_n the_o shepherdess_n eke_o and_o angel_n both_o we_o read_v how_o they_o rejoice_v when_o they_o once_o hear_v and_o understand_v the_o birth_n of_o jesus_n christ_n we_o see_v by_o this_o what_o music_n be_v we_o need_v no_o better_a proof_n the_o scripture_n be_v a_o buckeler_n good_a in_o music_n right_a behoof_n in_o fucsius_n and_o in_o galen_n both_o who_o list_v to_o look_v shall_v find_v how_o much_o that_o music_n do_v appease_v the_o dolour_n of_o the_o mind_n you_o know_v what_o taunt_n themistocles_n in_o banquet_n do_v sustain_v when_o he_o good_a music_n do_v dispraise_n accoumpt_v it_o but_o vain_a they_o judge_v his_o learning_n much_o the_o worse_o because_o he_o do_v defy_v that_o which_o all_o man_n do_v much_o esteem_n regard_n and_o eke_o set_v by_o i_o pray_v you_o be_v not_o socrates_n who_o crooked_a age_n have_v catch_v with_o music_n skill_n and_o armony_n as_o one_o with_o cupid_n fraught_v and_o say_v that_o
