the_o child_n can_v sing_v they_o yet_o in_o speak_v of_o they_o in_o time_n together_o with_o the_o forementioned_a motion_n of_o the_o foot_n will_v not_o only_o confirm_v they_o in_o the_o divide_n

to_o strike_v the_o string_n then_o make_v they_o to_o do_v it_o in_o time_n always_o use_v the_o motion_n of_o the_o foot_n or_o hand_n and_o so_o proceed_v never_o suffer_v they_o to_o neglect_v

of_o man_n for_o all_o art_n science_n and_o trade_n whatsoever_o be_v learn_v by_o a_o threefold_a method_n or_o birth_n the_o first_o whereof_o be_v do_v by_o open_v the_o hide_a or_o magic_a

but_o when_o the_o thought_n or_o magic_a power_n be_v form_v into_o word_n they_o then_o become_v more_o external_n and_o do_v thereby_o obtain_v as_o i_o may_v say_v a_o sidaereal_a or_o airy_a

all_o man_n can_v but_o be_v sensible_a that_o no_o thought_n or_o word_n be_v so_o valuable_a or_o so_o substantial_a as_o action_n see_v motion_n and_o action_n may_v be_v call_v the_o royal_a
