at_o this_o so_o chief_a and_o necessary_a science_n of_o arithmetic_n i_o hold_v it_o best_o to_o stay_v the_o process_n of_o music_n as_o touch_v the_o necessity_n of_o other_o than_o these_o which_o i_o have_v mention_v to_o be_v fit_a in_o a_o good_a musician_n kni._n i_o like_v you_o well_o &_o love_v your_o music_n the_o better_a for_o your_o good_a discourse_n thereof_o and_o my_o

take_v and_o my_o cost_n bestow_v tim._n why_o sir_n it_o may_v be_v you_o fear_v least_o your_o child_n shall_v die_v when_o you_o have_v bring_v they_o up_o well_o and_o bestow_v great_a cost_n upon_o they_o or_o if_o they_o shall_v prove_v unkind_a hereafter_o or_o if_o they_o shall_v set_v light_n by_o that_o good_a quality_n which_o cost_v they_o so_o little_a and_o you_o so_o much_o kni._n you_o say_v well_o good_a timotheus_n all_o this_o be_v to_o be_v doubt_v but_o i_o fear_v none_o so_o much_o as_o the_o last_o which_o be_v that_o they_o will_v be_v careless_a and_o forgetful_a of_o so_o excellent_a a_o quality_n as_o be_v play_v upon_o the_o lute_n and_o my_o fear_n be_v the_o great_a for_o that_o it_o be_v i_o own_o fault_n that_o in_o my_o youth_n can_v have_v play_v so_o well_o as_o any_o in_o those_o day_n and_o now_o it_o be_v as_o clean_o forget_v and_o which_o be_v more_o i_o have_v no_o willing_a mind_n in_o the_o world_n either_o to_o practice_v to_o recover_v that_o i_o lose_v or_o to_o learn_v a_o new_a for_o the_o play_n that_o be_v now_o and_o the_o lesson_n that_o be_v now_o a_o day_n be_v so_o curious_o set_v that_o we_o of_o the_o old_a i_o

they_o have_v never_o know_v what_o a_o lute_n have_v mean_v and_o the_o reason_n i_o find_v to_o proceed_v in_o the_o begin_n of_o their_o learning_n from_o the_o ignorance_n of_o their_o teacher_n for_o in_o old_a time_n they_o strive_v only_o to_o have_v a_o quick_a hand_n upon_o the_o lute_n to_o run_v hurry_n hurry_v keep_v a_o cat_n in_o the_o gutter_n upon_o the_o ground_n now_o true_a

in_o the_o world_n or_o rule_v or_o reason_n to_o play_v a_o lesson_n or_o finger_v the_o lute_n or_o guide_v the_o body_n or_o know_v any_o thing_n that_o belong_v either_o to_o skill_n or_o reason_n kni._n now_o true_o timotheus_n i_o be_o persuade_v you_o have_v hit_v the_o mark_n and_o when_o it_o go_v so_o hard_o with_o they_o in_o such_o easy_a and_o simple_a stuff_n as_o than_o they_o use_v what_o shift_n will_v they_o make_v to_o play_v at_o the_o first_o sight_n in_o these_o day_n a_o indifferent_a lesson_n set_v if_o they_o be_v now_o live_v but_o i_o pray_v you_o can_v you_o play_v any_o lesson_n at_o the_o first_o sight_n and_o also_o teach_v other_o to_o do_v the_o same_o tim._n yea_o sir_n that_o i_o can_v or_o else_o i_o be_v not_o worthy_a to_o be_v a_o teacher_n for_o it_o have_v be_v the_o most_o part_n of_o my_o study_n to_o bring_v the_o lute_n citharen_n and_o other_o instrument_n of_o music_n into_o a_o method_n by_o general_a rule_n most_o perfect_a and_o easy_a so_o that_o with_o my_o instruction_n one_o that_o can_v use_v the_o lute_n or_o other_o instrument_n may_v very_o ready_o attain_v to_o a_o good_a habit_n thereof_o kni._n well_o timotheus_n the_o very_a truth_n be_v i_o have_v hard_o so_o much_o as_o you_o say_v &_o therefore_o in_o the_o name_n of_o god_n begin_v with_o my_o child_n when_o you_o please_v and_o god_n willing_a you_o shall_v be_v please_v for_o your_o pain_n but_o i_o will_v make_v this_o condition_n with_o you_o good_a timotheus_n that_o you_o shall_v give_v i_o leave_v to_o ask_v you_o some_o question_n by_o the_o way_n in_o your_o instruction_n for_o it_o do_v i_o good_a to_o hear_v your_o reason_n how_o say_v you_o timotheus_n be_v you_o content_v it_o shall_v be_v so_o tim._n with_o all_o my_o hart_n sir_n for_o by_o so_o do_v i_o shall_v daily_a enjoy_v your_o good_a company_n and_o with_o all_o it_o will_v great_o further_o the_o profit_n of_o your_o child_n and_o with_o the_o more_o ease_n and_o comfort_n pass_v over_o the_o tediousness_n of_o teach_v kni._n i_o thank_v you_o timotheus_n but_o what_o if_o you_o do_v first_o write_v down_o all_o such_o rule_n as_o you_o use_v for_o instruction_n that_o they_o may_v from_o the_o beginning_n have_v they_o by_o hart_n do_v nothing_o but_o that_o they_o may_v have_v it_o in_o memory_n and_o ground_v by_o reason_n tim._n you_o say_v well_o it_o shall_v be_v so_o and_o at_o your_o pleasure_n ask_v what_o question_n you_o please_v and_o i_o will_v show_v you_o the_o reason_n for_o it_o to_o the_o full_a and_o i_o hope_v such_o as_o shall_v satisfy_v you_o full_o wherefore_o in_o the_o name_n of_o god_n i_o thus_o begin_v first_o it_o behove_v a_o scholar_n to_o have_v a_o very_a good_a instrument_n very_o well_o string_v fair_a to_o the_o eye_n and_o easy_a to_o reach_v any_o stop_n whatsoever_o and_o very_o well-sounding_a kni._n why_o i_o think_v it_o be_v no_o great_a matter_n what_o instrument_n a_o beginner_n have_v consider_v that_o for_o the_o most_o part_n young_a beginner_n soon_o make_v old_a instrument_n as_o young_a scholar_n soon_o make_v old_a book_n tim._n indeed_o to_o have_v a_o good_a instrument_n lie_v as_o much_o in_o the_o hability_n of_o the_o parent_n or_o friend_n as_o also_o in_o their_o good_a will_n to_o have_v it_o so_o but_o why_o i_o think_v it_o good_a to_o have_v if_o it_o be_v possible_a even_o the_o very_o best_a instrument_n for_o a_o learner_n at_o the_o first_o be_v this_o a_o good_a instrument_n will_v please_v a_o learner_n every_o way_n for_o it_o delight_v they_o to_o look_v and_o behold_v it_o now_o &_o then_o likewise_o they_o love_v easy_a and_o smooth_a instrument_n and_o although_o they_o can_v do_v but_o little_a yet_o it_o will_v sound_v well_o and_o so_o encourage_v they_o to_o learn_v with_o delight_n whereas_o contrariwise_o a_o bad_a or_o dull_a instrument_n will_v quell_v their_o spirit_n quite_o so_o that_o in_o a_o long_a time_n or_o never_o will_v they_o profit_v in_o their_o force_a labour_n kni._n i_o promise_v you_o it_o now_o seem_v to_o i_o very_o good_a reason_n that_o it_o shall_v be_v so_o and_o again_o it_o be_v a_o old_a and_o true_a say_n that_o one_o good_a thing_n be_v ever_o worth_a ten_o bad_a also_o there_o be_v small_a loss_n in_o a_o good_a thing_n it_o ever_o yield_v money_n with_o profit_n well_o here_o be_v a_o lute_n according_a to_o your_o desire_n in_o all_o point_n i_o pray_v you_o go_v forward_o good_a timotheus_n tim._n now_o you_o have_v a_o good_a lute_n it_o behove_v you_o to_o love_v it_o and_o use_v it_o well_o for_o by_o the_o usage_n you_o shall_v show_v your_o love_n therefore_o mark_v how_o you_o ought_v to_o use_v your_o lute_n above_o all_o thing_n keep_v it_o from_o wet_a for_o wet_a will_v spoil_v the_o string_n and_o make_v loose_v the_o rib_n and_o when_o you_o have_v do_v play_v upon_o it_o put_v it_o up_o into_o the_o case_n put_v the_o treble_v a_o little_a down_o but_o first_o you_o shall_v learn_v to_o handle_v your_o lute_n with_o a_o comely_a grace_n ready_a to_o play_v with_o delight_n and_o to_o this_o purpose_n in_o the_o name_n of_o god_n do_v as_o i_o shall_v instruct_v you_o general_n rules_n first_o sit_v upright_o with_o your_o body_n lean_a the_o edge_n of_o the_o lute_n against_o the_o table_n and_o your_o body_n against_o the_o lute_n not_o too_o hard_o for_o hurt_v your_o lute_n neither_o to_o soft_o for_o let_v of_o it_o fall_v for_o the_o table_n your_o body_n and_o your_o right_a arm_n must_v so_o boy_n the_o lute_n that_o you_o may_v have_v your_o left_a hand_n at_o liberty_n to_o carry_v
