the_o sound_n quick_a and_o sprightly_a like_o a_o violin_n and_o viol_n of_o that_o shape_n the_o belly_n be_v dig_v out_o of_o the_o planck_n do_v common_o render_v such_o a_o sound_n it_o must_v

length_n betwixt_o the_o two_o place_n where_o the_o hair_n be_v fasten_v at_o each_o end_n about_o 27_o inch_n the_o nutt_n short_a the_o height_n of_o it_o about_o a_o finger_n breadth_n or_o little_o more_o the_o viol_n and_o bow_n thus_o prepare_v i_o must_v now_o teach_v you_o how_o to_o use_v they_o and_o in_o order_n thereto_o first_o how_o to_o hold_v the_o viol._n be_v seat_v place_v your_o viol_n decent_o betwixt_o your_o knee_n so_o that_o the_o low_a end_n of_o it_o may_v rest_v upon_o the_o calf_n of_o your_o leg_n set_a the_o sole_n of_o your_o foot_n flat_a on_o the_o floor_n your_o toe_n turn_v a_o little_a outward_a let_v the_o top_n of_o the_o viol_n be_v erect_v towards_o your_o left_a shoulder_n so_o as_o it_o may_v rest_v in_o that_o posture_n though_o you_o touch_v it_o not_o with_o your_o hand_n how_o to_o hold_v the_o bow_n hold_v the_o bow_n betwixt_o the_o end_n of_o your_o thumb_n and_o two_o foremost_a finger_n near_o to_o the_o nutt_n the_o thumb_n and_o first_o finger_n fasten_v upon_o the_o stalk_v and_o the_o second_o finger_n end_v turn_v in_o short_a against_o the_o hair_n thereof_o by_o which_o you_o may_v poise_v and_o keep_v up_o the_o point_n of_o the_o bow_n if_o the_o second_o finger_n have_v not_o strength_n enough_o you_o may_v join_v the_o three_o finger_n in_o assistance_n to_o it_o but_o in_o play_v swift_a division_n two_o finger_n and_o the_o thumb_n be_v best_a in_o my_o opinion_n hold_v the_o bow_n in_o this_o posture_n you_o may_v stretch_v out_o your_o arm_n and_o draw_v it_o first_o over_o one_o string_n and_o then_o another_o cross_v they_o in_o right-angle_n at_o the_o distance_n of_o two_o or_o three_o inch_n from_o the_o bridge_n make_v each_o several_a string_n yield_v a_o full_a and_o clear_a sound_n and_o order_v your_o knee_n so_o that_o they_o be_v no_o impediment_n to_o the_o motion_n of_o your_o bow_n the_o posture_n of_o the_o left_a hand_n when_o you_o be_v to_o set_v your_o finger_n upon_o the_o string_n you_o must_v not_o grasp_v the_o neck_n of_o your_o viol_n like_o a_o violin_n but_o rather_o as_o those_o that_o play_n on_o the_o lute_n keep_v your_o thumb_n on_o the_o back_n of_o the_o neck_n opposite_a to_o your_o forefinger_n so_o as_o your_o hand_n may_v have_v liberty_n to_o remove_v up_o and_o down_o as_o occasion_n shall_v require_v how_o the_o viol_n be_v tune_v and_o apply_v to_o the_o scale_n of_o music_n it_o be_v suppose_v you_o understand_v song_n and_o consequent_o the_o scale_n of_o music_n which_o know_v the_o tune_n of_o your_o viol_n

also_o to_o continue_v the_o sound_n of_o a_o note_n when_o the_o bow_n have_v leave_v it_o instance_n of_o these_o holding_n you_o have_v where_o you_o see_v such_o a_o stroke_n as_o this_o ✓_o
