understand_v and_o practise_v than_o it_o be_v in_o their_o time_n but_o it_o must_v be_v suppose_v that_o while_o they_o neglect_v this_o part_n of_o music_n they_o may_v improve_v their_o art_n to_o a_o great_a influence_n over_o the_o fancy_n by_o a_o long_a study_n and_o practice_n in_o the_o several_a kind_n of_o music_n and_o this_o will_v appear_v more_o probable_a if_o we_o consider_v that_o the_o chromatic_a and_o enharmonic_a kind_n which_o be_v not_o much_o use_v by_o modern_a musician_n seem_v to_o be_v adapt_v to_o affect_v the_o imagination_n with_o great_a force_n and_o

the_o art_n of_o music_n in_o general_n if_o we_o inquire_v into_o the_o nature_n and_o property_n of_o sound_n we_o may_v with_o great_a certainty_n guess_v their_o effect_n that_o they_o cure_v the_o sting_n of_o the_o tarantula_n be_v a_o truth_n so_o general_o receive_v and_o confirm_v by_o several_a person_n that_o have_v be_v eye-witness_n of_o it_o in_o some_o part_n of_o italy_n that_o it_o may_v be_v no_o unworthy_a employment_n of_o our_o thought_n to_o inquire_v into_o the_o manner_n of_o this_o their_o operation_n and_o in_o the_o first_o place_n we_o may_v reasonable_o suppose_v that_o this_o malady_n do_v partly_o proceed_v from_o a_o great_a effervescence_n of_o the_o animal_n spirit_n of_o the_o insect_n actuate_v by_o a_o violent_a intention_n as_o it_o be_v

conclude_v that_o it_o be_v neither_o proportion_v nor_o qualify_v to_o disorder_n any_o thing_n but_o the_o animal_n spirit_n and_o that_o this_o disorder_n as_o in_o all_o other_o fermentation_n chief_o consist_v in_o a_o too_o violent_a and_o preternatural_a motion_n now_o if_o music_n cure_v this_o distemper_n by_o actuate_a the_o spirit_n so_o as_o to_o oppose_v the_o incursion_n of_o the_o poison_n it_o may_v be_v as_o it_o be_v in_o woman_n in_o a_o long_a condition_n when_o the_o imagination_n direct_v the_o animal_n spirit_n to_o collect_v and_o compose_v out_o of_o the_o

by_o the_o resemblance_n of_o the_o part_n to_o the_o imagination_n and_o thus_o possible_o musical_a sound_n may_v strengthen_v and_o empower_v the_o imagination_n to_o employ_v the_o spirit_n so_o as_o to_o gather_v out_o of_o the_o blood_n such_o principle_n as_o may_v resist_v and_o oppose_v the_o contagion_n but_o since_o we_o suppose_v that_o the_o sting_n of_o the_o tarantula_n only_o cause_v a_o extraordinary_a commotion_n of_o the_o animal_n spirit_n it_o seem_v most_o probable_a that_o music_n by_o such_o a_o influence_n as_o that_o whereby_o it_o incline_v we_o to_o sadness_n may_v be_v adapt_v to_o allay_v or_o restrain_v that_o unnatural_a effervescence_n till_o nature_n have_v disperse_v or_o wrought_v off_o the_o fermentative_a matter_n and_o thus_o it_o seem_v most_o reasonable_a to_o believe_v that_o the_o cure_n of_o the_o bite_v of_o the_o tarantula_n be_v effect_v now_o from_o this_o consideration_n of_o musical_a sound_n we_o may_v infer_v that_o they_o may_v be_v also_o capable_a of_o produce_v contrary_a effect_n for_o if_o they_o can_v thus_o allay_v and_o moderate_v the_o motion_n of_o the_o spirit_n when_o in_o a_o high_a frenzy_n it_o be_v equal_o probable_a that_o by_o contrary_a measure_n they_o may_v excite_v they_o to_o as_o great_a a_o distraction_n nay_o the_o music_n of_o the_o ancient_n as_o we_o have_v before_o represent_v it_o seem_v more_o adapt_v to_o cause_n than_o to_o cure_v madness_n not_o only_o upon_o the_o account_n of_o its_o variety_n but_o even_o from_o our_o own_o observation_n that_o the_o sprightly_a air_n more_o powerful_o elevate_v the_o spirit_n than_o the_o grave_a composition_n depress_n and_o restrain_v their_o motion_n and_o it_o may_v appear_v a_o unreasonable_a suspicion_n to_o distrust_v the_o concur_v testimony_n of_o ancient_a author_n concern_v the_o wonderful_a operation_n of_o music_n upon_o the_o mind_n if_o we_o reflect_v upon_o the_o exquisiteness_n of_o the_o sense_n which_o it_o affect_v for_o the_o object_n of_o the_o visive_n faculty_n be_v so_o imaginary_a and_o intellectual_a that_o they_o produce_v in_o we_o rather_o a_o perception_n than_o a_o sensation_n and_o on_o
