for_o the_o purpose_n gather_v together_o to_o the_o great_a commodity_n and_o pleasure_n of_o the_o learner_n of_o the_o same_o by_o a._n r_o ▪_o ¶_o the_o first_o rule_n first_o thou_o must_v understand_v that_o the_o lute_n be_v common_o string_v with_o six_o string_n i_o say_v six_o string_n although_o there_o be_v eleven_o because_o the_o five_o first_o accoumpt_v from_o the_o base_a be_v double_v which_o make_v ten_o and_o the_o treble_n be_v only_o single_a and_o alone_a which_o make_v the_o eleven_o as_o thou_o may_v perceive_v by_o the_o figure_n of_o the_o lute_n which_o i_o have_v here_o represent_v unto_o thou_o ¶_o the_o second_o rule_n these_o six_o string_n be_v figure_v by_o five_o straight_a line_n of_o the_o which_o the_o first_o do●oth_v signify_v the_o high_a string_n call_v the_o treble_a the_o second_o line_n be_v the_o second_o string_n and_o so_o consequent_o all_o the_o other_o unto_o the_o six_o the_o which_o six_o line_n be_v not_o note_v in_o our_o french_a tablature_n because_o it_o may_v easy_o be_v judge_v to_o be_v the_o last_o treble_a small_a mean_a great_a mean_a countertenour_n tenor_n base_a ¶_o the_o third_o rule_n and_o because_o these_o six_o cord_n be_v not_o sufficient_a of_o themselves_o to_o express_v many_o and_o diverse_a sound_n it_o be_v necessary_a to_o find_v mean_n whereby_o every_o string_n may_v give_v many_o and_o diverse_a sound_n and_o the_o mean_n and_o way_n thereof_o be_v the_o invention_n of_o the_o fret_n which_o thou_o see_v about_o the_o neck_n of_o the_o lute_n here_o figure_v for_o to_o speak_v of_o the_o fret_n i_o will_v not_o here_o declare_v the_o proportion_n that_o aught_o to_o be_v observe_v to_o say_v the_o space_n or_o distance_n betwixt_o fret_v and_o fret_v which_o we_o do_v

thou_o shall_v content_a thyself_o to_o mark_v what_o i_o will_v now_o say_v unto_o thou_o ¶_o the_o fowerth_o rule_n we_o call_v the_o fret_n the_o string_n that_o be_v tie_v about_o the_o neck_n of_o the_o lute_n which_o be_v ordinary_o eight_o in_o nom●er_n represent_v and_o figure_v by_o the_o letter_n b.c.d.e.f.g.h.i_fw-la and_o be_v call_v stop_n because_o that_o whereas_o those_o say_v letter_n be_v find_v follow_v the_o order_n of_o our_o tablatorie_a the_o space_n betwixt_o the_o fret_n must_v be_v stop_v with_o the_o left_a hand_n in_o the_o french_a tablatorie_a be_v use_v the_o letter_n of_o the_o alphabet_n and_o the_o italian_n and_o other_o nation_n in_o stead_n thereof_o use_n scipher_v and_o other_o carecter_n ¶_o the_o five_o rule_n the_o first_o stop_n be_v signify_v and_o mark_v by_o the_o letter_n b._n the_o second_o c_o and_o so_o consequent_o the_o rest_n unto_o the_o eight_o and_o last_o stop_n with_o the_o letter_n i_o as_o thou_o may_v see_v by_o the_o

the_o eight_o stop_n because_o that_o where_o the_o say_v a._n be_v find_v it_o must_v be_v strike_v open_a that_o be_v to_o say_v you_o must_v strike_v or_o gripe_v as_o many_o string_n as_o there_o be_v mark_v a●●_n with_o the_o right_a hand_n not_o stop_a with_o the_o left_a ¶_o example_n ¶_o the_o seven_o rule_n as_o for_o the_o letter_n that_o come_v after_o the_o i_o which_o we_o have_v set_v last_o they_o have_v no_o fret_n notwithstanding_o those_o that_o be_v exercise_v in_o thesame_o art_n stop_v the_o string_n just_o where_o they_o shall_v be_v stop_v that_o be_v to_o say_v where_o the_o letter_n be_v mark_v which_o be_v ever_o above_o the_o number_n of_o eight_o as_o cunning_o as_o if_o they_o have_v fret_n ¶_o example_n have_v now_o speak_v of_o the_o string_n letter_n fret_n and_o stop_n thou_o must_v also_o understand_v how_o and_o with_o which_o finger_n the_o string_n of_o the_o lute_n must_v be_v stop_v ¶_o the_o eight_o rule_n now_o sing_v the_o letter_n do_v signify_v the_o stop_n the_o which_o do_v only_o appertain_v to_o the_o left_a hand_n if_o you_o shall_v not_o strike_v the_o say_v string_n beneath_o on_o the_o beallie_z the_o lute_n will_v give_v no_o sound_n you_o must_v with_o the_o thumb_n and_o the_o finger_n of_o the_o right_a hand_n gripe_n or_o strike_v as_o many_o string_n as_o shall_v be_v find_v letter_n mark_v in_o the_o line_n signify_v the_o say_v string_n ▪_o i_o mean_v that_o shall_v be_v one_o above_o a_o other_o in_o thesame_o stop_n and_o if_o there_o be_v but_o one_o letter_n you_o must_v stop_v but_o one_o string_n if_o there_o be_v two_o you_o must_v only_o stop_v two_o and_o so_o consequent_o to_o the_o number_n of_o six_o which_o make_v six_o part_n in_o one_o stop_n because_o every_o letter_n do_v his_o part_n and_o there_o must_v be_v two_o letter_n at_o the_o jest_n one_o above_o the_o other_o to_o make_v the_o accord_n ¶_o example_n ¶_o the_o nine_o rule_n whereas_o thou_o do_v find_v but_o one_o letter_n to_o be_v stop_v thou_o shall_v strike_v he_o downward_o with_o thy_o thumb_n be_v it_o first_o second_o or_o other_o the_o string_n signify_v by_o the_o line_n of_o the_o tablatorie_a upon_o

must_v be_v strike_v upward_o with_o one_o of_o the_o finger_n as_o shall_v best_o fit_v it_o ¶_o example_n ¶_o the_o ten_o rule_n if_o you_o do_v find_v one_o two_o or_o three_o letter_n have_v no_o prick_n or_o point_n underneath_o you_o shall_v strike_v upward_o as_o many_o string_n as_o you_o shall_v find_v letter_n upon_o the_o line_n of_o the_o tablature_n signify_v the_o say_v string_n with_o as_o many_o finger_n as_o there_o be_v letter_n and_o string_n and_o you_o must_v also_o note_v that_o although_o there_o be_v but_o one_o point_n or_o prick_v under_o one_o two_o or_o three_o letter_n they_o must_v be_v all_o strike_a with_o the_o finger_n without_o the_o thumb_n as_o if_o every_o letter_n be_v mark_v several_o with_o his_o prick_n or_o point_n ¶_o example_n ¶_o the_o eleven_o rule_n if_o under_o two_o three_o or_o many_o letter_n comprise_v in_o one_o stop_n be_v find_v no_o prick_n or_o point_n than_o you_o must_v gripe_v or_o draw_v as_o many_o string_n as_o there_o be_v find_v letter_n gripe_a or_o draw_v ▪_o be_v to_o be_v understand_v when_o the_o thumb_n and_o the_o finger_n of_o the_o right_a hand_n play_v together_o because_o in_o the_o eight_o rule_n we_o have_v speak_v of_o six_o part_n the_o which_o will_v not_o be_v full_a except_o all_o the_o six_o string_n be_v sound_v and_o yet_o have_v but_o five_o finger_n to_o each_o hand_n accoumpt_v the_o thumb_n for_o one_o and_o yet_o of_o the_o five_o the_o little_a finger_n serve_v but_o to_o keep_v the_o hand_n from_o upon_o the_o beallie_z of_o the_o lute_n some_o will_v think_v it_o hard_o to_o be_v do_v and_o almost_o impossible_a to_o play_v five_o or_o six_o part_n upon_o the_o lute_n but_o when_o it_o shall_v be_v understand_v in_o what_o sort_n it_o may_v be_v do_v it_o will_v not_o seem_v so_o strange_a ¶_o the_o twelve_o rule_n because_o it_o shall_v be_v hereafter_o necessary_a for_o the_o understanding_n of_o the_o tablature_n to_o know_v the_o division_n of_o
