sometime_o prick_v in_o black_a note_n which_o black_a note_n be_v of_o the_o same_o measure_n with_o the_o minim_n in_o the_o forego_n example_n but_o be_v seldom_o use_v because_o the_o minim_n be_v the_o same_o and_o serve_v as_o well_o for_o example_n 4._o the_o four_o or_o last_o mood_n which_o be_v call_v the_o imperfect_a of_o the_o less_o be_v when_o all_o go_v by_o two_o as_o two_o long_v

be_v to_o signify_v that_o the_o time_n of_o that_o lesson_n or_o song_n before_o which_o it_o be_v so_o set_v be_v to_o be_v play_v or_o sing_v as_o swift_a again_o as_o the_o usual_a measure_n chap._n xi_o of_o the_o several_a adjunct_n and_o character_n use_v in_o music_n 1._o a_o direct_n be_v usual_o at_o the_o end_n of_o a_o line_n and_o serve_v to_o direct_v to_o the_o place_n of_o the_o first_o note_n on_o the_o next_o line_n and_o be_v thus_o make_v 2._o bar_n be_v of_o two_o sort_n single_a and_o double_a the_o single_a bar_n serve_v to_o divide_v the_o time_n according_a to_o the_o measure_n of_o the_o semibreve_n the_o double_a bar_n be_v set_v to_o divide_v the_o several_a strain_n or_o stanza_n of_o the_o song_n and_o lesson_n and_o be_v thus_o make_v 3._o a_o repeat_v be_v thus_o mark_a and_o be_v use_v to_o signify_v that_o such_o a_o part_n of_o a_o song_n or_o lesson_n must_v be_v play_v or_o sing_v over_o again_o from_o that_o note_n over_o which_o

understand_v of_o the_o theoric_n part_v of_o music_n in_o the_o plain_a and_o easy_a method_n that_o i_o can_v not_o doubt_v but_o by_o it_o and_o a_o little_a assistance_n of_o some_o already_o skilled_a in_o music_n to_o guide_v you_o to_o the_o practic_n a_o brief_a discourse_n of_o the_o italian_a manner_n of_o sing_v wherein_o be_v set_v down_o the_o use_n of_o those_o grace_n in_o sing_v as_o the_o trill_v and_o gruppo_n use_v in_o italy_n and_o now_o in_o england_n write_v some_o year_n since_o by_o a_o english_a gentleman_n who_o have_v live_v long_o in_o italy_n and_o be_v return_v teach_v the_o same_o here_o the_o proem_n to_o the_o say_a discourse_n be_v to_o this_o effect_n hitherto_o i_o have_v not_o put_v forth_o to_o the_o view_n of_o the_o world_n those_o fruit_n of_o my_o music_n study_v employ_v about_o that_o noble_a manner_n of_o sing_v which_o i_o learn_v of_o my_o master_n the_o famous_a scipione_n del_fw-it palla_n in_o italy_n nor_o my_o composition_n of_o air_n compose_v by_o i_o which_o i_o see_v frequent_o practise_v by_o the_o most_o famous_a singer_n in_o italy_n both_o man_n and_o woman_n but_o see_v many_o of_o they_o go_v about_o maim_v and_o spoil_v and_o that_o those_o long_a wind_a point_n be_v ill_o perform_v i_o therefore_o devise_v to_o avoid_v that_o old_a manner_n of_o run_a division_n which_o have_v be_v hitherto_o use_v be_v indeed_o more_o proper_a for_o wind_n and_o string_a instrument_n than_o for_o the_o voice_n and_o see_v that_o there_o be_v make_v now_o a_o day_n a_o indifferent_a and_o confuse_a use_n of_o those_o excellent_a grace_n and_o ornament_n to_o the_o good_a manner_n of_o sing_v which_o we_o call_v trill_n grupp_n exclamation_n of_o increase_v and_o abate_v of_o the_o voice_n of_o which_o i_o do_v intend_v in_o this_o my_o discourse_n to_o leave_v some_o foot-print_n that_o other_o may_v attain_v to_o this_o excellent_a manner_n of_o sing_v to_o which_o manner_n i_o have_v frame_v my_o last_o air_n for_o one_o voice_n to_o the_o theorbo_n not_o follow_v that_o old_a way_n of_o composition_n who_o music_n not_o suffer_v the_o word_n to_o be_v understand_v by_o the_o hearer_n for_o the_o multitude_n of_o division_n make_v upon_o short_a and_o long_a syllable_n though_o by_o the_o vulgar_a such_o singer_n be_v cry_v up_o for_o famous_a but_o i_o have_v endeavour_v in_o those_o my_o late_a composition_n to_o bring_v in_o a_o kind_n of_o music_n by_o which_o man_n may_v as_o it_o be_v talk_v in_o harmony_n use_v in_o that_o kind_n of_o sing_v a_o certain_a noble_a neglect_n of_o the_o song_n as_o i_o have_v often_o hear_v at_o florence_n by_o the_o actor_n in_o their_o sing_a opera_n in_o which_o i_o endeavour_v the_o imitation_n of_o the_o conceit_n of_o the_o word_n seek_v out_o the_o cord_n more_o or_o less_o passionate_a according_a to_o the_o meaning_n of_o they_o have_v conceal_v in_o they_o so_o much_o as_o i_o can_v the_o art_n of_o descant_n and_o pause_v or_o stay_v the_o consonance_n or_o cord_n upon_o long_a syllable_n avoid_v the_o short_a and_o observe_v the_o same_o rule_n in_o make_v the_o passage_n of_o division_n by_o some_o few_o quaver_n to_o note_n and_o to_o cadence_n not_o exceed_v the_o value_n of_o a_o quarter_n or_o half_a a_o semibreve_n at_o most_o but_o as_o i_o say_v before_o those_o long_a wind_n and_o turn_n of_o the_o voice_n be_v ill_o use_v for_o i_o have_v observe_v that_o division_n have_v be_v invent_v not_o because_o they_o be_v necessary_a unto_o a_o good_a fashion_n of_o sing_v but_o rather_o for_o a_o certain_a tickle_v of_o the_o ear_n of_o those_o who_o do_v not_o well_o understand_v what_o it_o be_v to_o sing_v passionate_o for_o if_o they_o do_v undoubted_o division_n will_v have_v be_v abhor_v there_o be_v nothing_o more_o contrary_a to_o passion_n than_o they_o be_v yet_o in_o some_o kind_n of_o music_n less_o passionate_a or_o affectuous_a and_o upon_o long_a syllable_n not_o short_a and_o in_o final_a cadence_n some_o short_a point_n of_o division_n may_v be_v use_v but_o not_o at_o all_o adventure_n but_o upon_o the_o practice_n of_o the_o descant_n but_o to_o think_v of_o they_o first_o in_o those_o thing_n that_o a_o man_n will_v sing_v by_o himself_o and_o to_o fashion_n out_o the_o manner_n of_o they_o and_o not_o to_o promise_v a_o man_n self_n that_o his_o descant_n will_v bear_v it_o for_o to_o the_o good_a manner_n of_o compose_v and_o sing_v in_o this_o way_n the_o understanding_n of_o the_o conceit_n and_o the_o humour_n of_o the_o word_n as_o well_o in_o passionate_a cord_n as_o passionate_a expression_n in_o sing_v do_v more_o avail_n than_o descant_n i_o have_v make_v use_v of_o it_o only_o to_o accord_v two_o part_n together_o and_o to_o avoid_v certain_a notable_a error_n and_o bind_v certain_a discord_n for_o the_o accompany_v of_o the_o passion_n more_o than_o to_o use_v the_o art_n and_o certain_a it_o be_v that_o a_o air_n compose_v in_o this_o manner_n upon_o the_o conceit_n of_o the_o word_n by_o one_o that_o have_v a_o good_a fashion_n of_o sing_v will_v work_v a_o better_a effect_n and_o delight_n more_o than_o another_o make_v with_o all_o the_o art_n of_o descant_n where_o the_o humour_n or_o conceit_n of_o the_o word_n be_v not_o mind_v the_o original_n of_o which_o defect_n if_o i_o deceive_v not_o myself_o be_v hence_o occasion_v because_o the_o musician_n do_v not_o well_o possess_v and_o make_v himself_o master_n of_o that_o which_o he_o be_v to_o sing_v
