be_v a_o song_n if_o all_o the_o cry_n and_o penitential_a psalm_n be_v so_o many_o song_n if_o our_o saviour_n last_o hymn_n be_v a_o song_n if_o this_o sad_a bow_n be_v a_o song_n then_o certain_o

as_o well_o the_o melancholy_a as_o the_o sanguine_a temper_n and_o carry_v the_o soul_n into_o all_o kind_n of_o passion_n so_o forcible_o that_o some_o philosopher_n think_v the_o soul_n itself_o to_o be_v nothing_o but_o harmony_n this_o we_o be_v sure_a that_o the_o animal_n spirit_n be_v exact_a dancer_n keep_v just_a measure_n with_o good_a music_n and_o harmonious_o move_v the_o passion_n for_o whether_o the_o praise_n of_o god_n be_v sing_v with_o the_o voice_n of_o joy_n they_o be_v quicken_v by_o the_o short_a service_n into_o such_o a_o sprightly_a dance_n as_o david_n use_v

down_o to_o such_o a_o lumpish_a heaviness_n that_o they_o dance_v ahab_n mournful_a measure_n when_o he_o humble_v himself_o and_o walk_v soft_o indeed_o whatever_o eloquence_n can_v do_v the_o

by_o phrase_n or_o the_o other_o by_o gesture_n the_o like_a wager_n may_v well_o lie_v between_o a_o good_a orator_n and_o a_o good_a musician_n it_o be_v not_o easy_o determine_v which_o way_n this_o bow_n will_v pierce_v deep_a whether_o set_v to_o a_o mournful_a anthem_n or_o to_o a_o eloquent_a oration_n in_o this_o therefore_o we_o must_v confess_v the_o harsh_a principle_n of_o the_o
