proceed_v from_o the_o low_a which_o be_v the_o bass_n and_o also_o i_o conclude_v that_o every_o part_n in_o nature_n do_v affect_v his_o proper_a and_o natural_a place_n as_o the_o element_n do_v true_a it_o be_v that_o the_o ancient_a musician_n who_o intend_v their_o music_n only_o for_o the_o church_n take_v their_o sight_n from_o the_o tenor_n which_o be_v rather_o do_v out_o of_o

their_o other_o part_n but_o i_o will_v plain_o convince_v by_o demonstration_n that_o contrary_a to_o some_o opinion_n the_o bass_n contain_v in_o it_o both_o the_o air_n and_o true_a judgement_n of_o the_o key_n express_v how_o any_o man_n at_o first_o sight_n may_v view_v in_o it_o all_o the_o other_o part_n in_o their_o original_a essence_n in_o respect_n of_o the_o variety_n in_o music_n which_o be_v attain_v to_o by_o far_a proceed_n in_o the_o art_n as_o when_o note_n be_v shift_v out_o of_o their_o native_a place_n the_o bass_n above_o the_o tenor_n or_o the_o tenor_n above_o the_o mean_a and_o the_o mean_a above_o the_o treble_a this_o kind_n of_o counterpoint_n which_o i_o promise_v may_v appear_v simple_a and_o only_a fit_a for_o young_a beginner_n as_o indeed_o chief_o it_o
