not_o allow_v in_o division_n to_o a_o ground_n betwixt_o two_o different_a part_n or_o voice_n now_o when_o we_o play_v division_n to_o a_o ground_n it_o be_v to_o be_v consider_v whether_o or_o no_o we_o play_v a_o different_a part_n from_o the_o say_a ground_n i_o answer_v in_o descant-division_n we_o do_v but_o in_o divide_v the_o ground_n we_o play_v but_o the_o same_o part_n with_o it_o in_o which_o do_v if_o we_o hit_v upon_o the_o 8_o the_o above_o or_o below_o the_o ground-note_a which_o will_v produce_v sometime_o two_o or_o more_o 8_o this_o together_o as_o you_o see_v in_o the_o

shall_v please_v your_o fancy_n thus_o much_o for_o carry_v on_o point_n and_o now_o let_v i_o advertise_v you_o concern_v the_o order_n and_o dispose_v of_o division_n when_o you_o be_v to_o play_n division_n to_o a_o ground_n i_o will_v have_v you_o first_o play_n over_o the_o ground_n itself_o for_o these_o reason_n 1_o that_o other_o may_v hear_v what_o note_n you_o divide_v upon_o 2_o that_o yourself_o may_v be_v better_o possess_v of_o the_o air_n of_o the_o ground_n in_o case_n you_o know_v it_o not_o before_o 3_o that_o he_o who_o play_v the_o ground_n unto_o you_o may_v better_o perceive_v your_o time_n or_o measure_n the_o ground_n play_v over_o you_o may_v break_v it_o into_o crotchet_n and_o quaver_n or_o play_v slow_a descant_n to_o it_o which_o you_o please_v if_o your_o ground_n be_v of_o two_o or_o three_o strain_n you_o may_v do_v by_o the_o second_o or_o third_z as_o by_o the_o first_o this_o do_v and_o your_o ground_n begin_v over_o again_o you_o may_v then_o break_v it_o into_o division_n of_o a_o quick_a motion_n drive_v on_o some_o point_n or_o point_n as_o have_v be_v show_v when_o you_o have_v prosecute_v that_o manner_n of_o play_n so_o long_o as_o you_o please_v and_o show_v some_o command_n of_o hand_n you_o may_v fall_v off_o to_o slow_a descant_n or_o bind_v note_n as_o you_o see_v cause_n play_v also_o sometime_o lowd_o or_o soft_a to_o express_v humour_n and_o draw_v on_o attention_n after_o this_o you_o may_v begin_v to_o play_n some_o skip_a division_n or_o point_n or_o tripla_n or_o what_o your_o present_a fancy_n or_o invension_n shall_v prompt_v you_o to_o change_v still_o from_o one_o variety_n to_o another_o for_o variety_n it_o be_v which_o chief_o please_v without_o which_o the_o best_a division_n in_o the_o world_n still_o continue_v will_v become_v tedious_a to_o the_o hearer_n and_o therefore_o you_o must_v so_o place_v and_o dispose_v your_o division_n that_o the_o change_n of_o it_o from_o one_o kind_n to_o another_o may_v still_o beget_v a_o new_a attention_n and_o this_o be_v general_o to_o be_v observe_v whether_o your_o ground_n consist_v of_o one_o or_o more_o strain_n or_o be_v a_o continue_a ground_n of_o which_o i_o must_v also_o speak_v a_o little_a a_o continue_a ground_n use_v for_o play_v or_o make_v division_n upon_o be_v for_o the_o most_o part_n the_o through-basse_a of_o some_o motett_n or_o madrigal_n propose_v or_o select_v for_o that_o purpose_n this_o after_o you_o have_v play_v two_o or_o three_o semibreve_n of_o it_o plain_n to_o let_v the_o organist_n know_v your_o measure_n you_o may_v begin_v to_o divide_v according_a to_o your_o fancy_n or_o the_o former_a instruction_n until_o you_o come_v near_o some_o cadence_n or_o close_o where_o i_o will_v have_v you_o show_v some_o agility_n of_o hand_n here_o if_o you_o please_v you_o may_v rest_v a_o minim_n two_o or_o three_o let_v the_o ground_n go_v on_o and_o then_o come_v in_o with_o some_o point_n after_o which_o you_o may_v fall_v to_o descant_n mixt-division_n tripla_n or_o what_o you_o please_v in_o this_o manner_n play_v sometime_o swift_a note_n sometime_o slow_a change_v from_o this_o to_o that_o sort_v of_o division_n as_o may_v best_o produce_v variety_n you_o may_v carry_v on_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o ground_n and_o if_o you_o have_v any_o thing_n more_o excellent_a than_o other_o reserve_v it_o for_o the_o conclusion_n of_o compose_v division_n for_o one_o viol_n to_o a_o ground_n when_o you_o compose_v division_n to_o a_o ground_n endeavour_v to_o make_v it_o easy_a for_o the_o hand_n for_o of_o thing_n equal_o excellent_a in_o their_o composition_n that_o be_v always_o to_o be_v prefer_v which_o be_v more_o easy_a to_o be_v perform_v hence_o we_o may_v conclude_v that_o no_o man_n be_v fit_a to_o compose_v division_n to_o a_o ground_n how_o great_a a_o musician_n soever_o he_o be_v unless_o he_o understand_v the_o neck_n of_o the_o instrument_n and_o the_o method_n of_o finger_v belong_v to_o it_o this_o be_v all_o i_o have_v to_o say_v concern_v division_n for_o one_o viol_n more_o than_o that_o i_o will_v have_v you_o peruse_v the_o division_n which_o other_o man_n have_v make_v opon_n ground_n as_o those_o of_o mr._n henry_n butler_n mr._n daniel_n norcome_v and_o divers_a other_o excellent_a man_n of_o this_o our_o nation_n who_o hitherto_o have_v have_v the_o pre-eminence_n for_o this_o particular_a instrument_n observe_v and_o note_v in_o their_o division_n what_o you_o find_v best_a worthy_a to_o be_v imitate_v of_o two_o viol_n play_v together_o to_o a_o ground_n after_o this_o discourse_n of_o division_n for_o one_o viol_n i_o suppose_v it_o will_v not_o be_v unseasonable_a if_o i_o speak_v something_o of_o two_o viol_n play_v together_o to_o a_o ground_n in_o which_o kind_n of_o music_n i_o have_v have_v a_o little_a experimental_a knowledge_n and_o therefore_o will_v deliver_v it_o in_o such_o order_n as_o i_o have_v know_v the_o practice_n of_o it_o refer_v the_o improvement_n thereof_o to_o further_a experience_n let_v the_o ground_n be_v prick_v down_o in_o three_o several_a paper_n one_o for_o he_o who_o play_v on_o the_o organ_n or_o harpsecord_v and_o the_o other_o two_o for_o they_o that_o play_n on_o the_o viol_n which_o for_o order_n and_o brevity_n i_o will_v distinguish_v by_o three_o letter_n viz._n a._n for_o organist_n b._n for_o first_o basse_fw-fr and_o c._n for_o the_o second_o each_o of_o these_o have_v the_o same_o ground_n before_o he_o they_o may_v all_o begin_v together_o a._n and_o b_o play_v the_o ground_n and_o c._n descant_v to_o it_o in_o slow_a note_n or_o such_o as_o may_v suit_v a_o beginning_n this_o do_v let_v c._n play_v the_o ground_n and_o b._n descant_n to_o it_o as_o the_o other_o have_v do_v before_o but_o with_o some_o little_a variation_n if_o the_o ground_n consist_v of_o two_o strain_n the_o like_a may_v be_v do_v by_o the_o second_o one_o still_o play_v the_o ground_n whilst_o the_o other_o descant_n or_o divide_v upon_o it_o the_o ground_n thus_o play_v over_o c._n may_v begin_v again_o and_o play_v a_o strain_n of_o quick_a division_n which_o end_v let_v b._n answer_v the_o same_o with_o another_o something_o like_o it_o but_o of_o a_o little_a more_o lofty_a air_n for_o the_o better_a performance_n whereof_o if_o there_o be_v any_o difference_n in_o the_o hand_n or_o invention_n i_o will_v have_v the_o better_a invention_n lead_v but_o the_o more_o able_a hand_n still_o follow_v that_o the_o music_n may_v not_o seem_v to_o go_v less_o in_o performance_n when_o the_o viol_n have_v thus_o as_o it_o be_v vie_v and_o revy_v to_o one_o another_o a._n if_o he_o have_v ability_n of_o hand_n may_v upon_o a_o sign_n give_v he_o put_v in_o his_o strain_n of_o division_n the_o two_o viol_n play_v one_o of_o they_o the_o ground_n and_o the_o other_o slow_a descant_n to_o it_o a._n have_v end_v his_o strain_n of_o division_n the_o same_o may_v be_v answer_v first_o by_o one_o viol_n and_o then_o by_o another_o have_v answer_v one_o another_o in_o this_o manner_n so_o long_o as_o they_o think_v fit_a the_o two_o viol_n may_v divide_v a_o strain_n both_o together_o consist_v of_o crotchet_n quaver_n or_o semiquaver_n as_o they_o please_v in_o which_o do_v let_v b._n break_v the_o ground_n according_a to_o the_o way_n mention_v pag._n 22_o 23._o and_o if_o necessity_n or_o his_o own_o fancy_n move_v he_o to_o fetch_v a_o compass_n let_v it_o be_v do_v in_o move_v to_o the_o octave_n upward_o or_o downward_o return_v back_o either_o to_o end_v upon_o the_o note_n itself_o or_o make_v a_o transition_n to_o the_o note_n follow_v by_o this_o c._n know_v b_n motion_n he_o know_v how_o to_o avoid_v run_v into_o the_o same_o and_o therefore_o will_v move_v into_o the_o 3_o d._n or_o 5_o the_o according_a to_o the_o way_n of_o descant_n thus_o much_o in_o relation_n to_o the_o present_a note_n or_o note_v divide_v now_o for_o meet_v the_o next_o note_n let_v c._n take_v these_o observation_n 1_o that_o whereas_o b._n in_o break_v the_o ground_n do_v meet_v every_o next_o note_n in_o the_o
