remain_v i_o will_v brief_o knit_v up_o the_o rest_n that_o concern_v this_o matter_n young_a man_n have_v natural_a heat_n so_o much_o abound_v in_o they_o that_o they_o can_v rest_v but_o be_v still_o in_o motion_n as_o well_o of_o body_n as_o of_o mind_n the_o one_o with_o run_v leap_v and_o other_o exercise_n and_o when_o all_o they_o fail_v the_o tongue_n cease_v not_o which_o by_o reason_n of_o their_o age_n be_v the_o more_o bold_a and_o ready_a the_o other_o with_o pass_v from_o one_o discourse_n to_o another_o and_o from_o one_o passion_n to_o another_o now_o love_v now_o hate_v now_o boil_v with_o anger_n and_o choler_n now_o still_o and_o quiet_a with_o such_o like_a motion_n of_o the_o mind_n and_o because_o the_o motion_n of_o the_o body_n and_o the_o affection_n of_o the_o mind_n must_v have_v their_o measure_n and_o their_o rule_n and_o the_o one_o and_o the_o other_o convenient_a exercise_n and_o moderate_a rest_n therefore_o do_v the_o ancient_a wise_a man_n devise_v two_o special_a art_n most_o apt_a and_o fit_a for_o both_o these_o purpose_n whereof_o the_o one_o they_o call_v gymnastica_fw-la which_o be_v a_o skilful_a and_o moderate_a exercise_n of_o the_o body_n and_o the_o other_o music_n by_o which_o name_n it_o be_v well_o know_v in_o all_o language_n and_o when_o they_o have_v cause_v their_o youth_n to_o spend_v part_n of_o the_o day_n in_o learning_n those_o science_n and_o discipline_n which_o they_o think_v fit_a for_o that_o age_n for_o of_o all_o other_o thing_n they_o abhor_v the_o train_v they_o up_o in_o ignorance_n because_o seldom_o can_v a_o ignorant_a man_n be_v good_a and_o that_o man_n without_o knowledge_n and_o learning_n be_v but_o figure_n of_o man_n and_o image_n of_o death_n without_o soul_n or_o life_n then_o will_v they_o draw_v they_o to_o honest_a exercise_n of_o the_o body_n by_o degree_n for_o they_o hold_v it_o a_o thing_n most_o necessary_a for_o the_o wel-founding_a of_o a_o commonwealth_n to_o be_v continual_o careful_a of_o the_o frame_n youth_n both_o in_o body_n and_o mind_n because_o they_o know_v right_o well_o that_o good_a education_n make_v young_a man_n good_a and_o that_o such_o be_v commonwealth_n and_o state_n as_o be_v the_o quality_n and_o condition_n of_o the_o man_n which_o they_o do_v breed_v touch_v the_o body_n therefore_o they_o do_v devise_v to_o strengthen_v and_o harden_v it_o with_o convenient_a and_o temperate_a exercise_n as_o the_o play_n at_o ball_n leap_v run_a dance_a ride_a wrestle_a throw_v the_o bar_n the_o stone_n or_o sledge_n and_o such_o like_a for_o the_o mind_n they_o think_v best_a to_o stay_v and_o settle_v itself_o with_o the_o harmony_n of_o music_n and_o from_o these_o two_o they_o resolve_v that_o two_o great_a good_a effect_n do_v ensue_v from_o the_o first_o strength_n of_o body_n and_o boldness_n of_o spirit_n and_o from_o the_o latter_a modesty_n and_o temperance_n inseparable_a companion_n for_o the_o most_o part_n unto_o fortitude_n for_o some_o of_o they_o be_v of_o opinion_n that_o our_o soul_n be_v compose_v of_o harmony_n and_o believe_v that_o music_n be_v able_a so_o to_o temper_v our_o affect_n and_o passion_n as_o they_o shall_v not_o far_o or_o discord_n among_o themselves_o but_o be_v so_o interlace_v the_o one_o with_o the_o other_o in_o a_o sweet_a consent_n as_o well_o guide_v and_o order_v action_n shall_v proceed_v from_o the_o same_o even_o as_o sweet_a and_o delightful_a music_n proceed_v from_o the_o wel-tempering_a of_o tuneable_a voice_n or_o well_o consort_v instrument_n neither_o will_v they_o have_v the_o one_o to_o be_v exercise_v and_o the_o other_o omit_v for_o that_o they_o think_v if_o young_a man_n shall_v give_v themselves_o only_o to_o the_o exercise_n of_o the_o body_n they_o will_v become_v too_o fierce_a and_o hardy_a and_o so_o be_v rather_o hurtful_a to_o their_o commonweal_n then_o otherwise_o and_o if_o they_o shall_v follow_v only_a music_n which_o be_v proper_a to_o rest_n and_o quietness_n and_o use_v as_o a_o recreation_n of_o the_o mind_n as_o aristotle_n say_v they_o will_v become_v soft_o mind_v and_o effeminate_a but_o by_o join_v both_o these_o faculty_n together_o in_o one_o they_o seek_v to_o make_v a_o noble_a temper_n and_o to_o induce_v a_o most_o excellent_a habit_n as_o well_o in_o the_o mind_n as_o in_o the_o body_n so_o that_o if_o valour_n be_v require_v for_o the_o defence_n of_o their_o country_n or_o vanquish_a of_o their_o enemy_n they_o be_v make_v fit_a and_o apt_a thereunto_o by_o the_o exercise_n of_o the_o body_n but_o with_o such_o measure_n and_o temper_n as_o shall_v not_o exceed_v which_o measure_n and_o temper_n they_o obtain_v from_o that_o harmony_n which_o music_n imprint_v in_o their_o mind_n under_o which_o they_o comprehend_v not_o only_o the_o order_n of_o the_o voice_n and_o sound_n of_o instrument_n but_o all_o other_o orderly_o and_o seemly_a motion_n of_o the_o body_n which_o upon_o their_o stage_n or_o scene_n in_o the_o act_n of_o tragedy_n be_v chief_o to_o be_v discover_v and_o that_o all_o orderly_a motion_n be_v comprehend_v under_o music_n be_v hold_v so_o certain_a by_o pythagoras_n archetas_n plato_n cicero_n &_o other_o famous_a philosopher_n that_o they_o be_v of_o opinion_n that_o the_o orderly_a course_n and_o motion_n of_o the_o heaven_n can_v not_o be_v such_o as_o it_o be_v or_o continue_v without_o harmony_n though_o aristotle_n do_v oppose_v himself_o to_o their_o opinion_n and_o for_o this_o cause_n do_v lycurgus_n devise_v that_o music_n shall_v be_v conjoin_v with_o the_o military_a discipline_n of_o the_o lacedaemonian_n not_o only_o to_o temper_v the_o heat_n and_o fury_n of_o their_o mind_n in_o fight_n but_o also_o to_o cause_v they_o to_o use_v a_o certain_a measure_n in_o that_o march_n and_o other_o occasion_n of_o war_n in_o which_o respect_n they_o be_v wont_n to_o battle_n without_o certain_a pipe_n according_a to_o the_o time_n whereof_o they_o understand_v how_o to_o use_v their_o body_n and_o weapon_n from_o which_o respect_n also_o come_v our_o use_v of_o drum_n and_o trumpet_n to_o give_v soldier_n knowledge_n when_o to_o march_v when_o to_o stand_v when_o to_o assault_v and_o when_o to_o retire_v and_o consequent_o how_o to_o join_v order_n and_o measure_n with_o their_o valour_n against_o the_o enemy_n and_o the_o lansknight_n and_o the_o swisser_n use_v also_o the_o fife_n at_o this_o day_n with_o the_o drum_n and_o to_o say_v truth_n great_a be_v the_o force_n of_o music_n skilful_o use_v to_o stir_v up_o or_o to_o appease_v the_o mind_n for_o we_o read_v that_o pythagoras_n find_v a_o wanton_a young_a man_n enrage_v with_o lust_n ready_a to_o force_v the_o door_n of_o a_o honest_a woman_n he_o so_o calm_v his_o mind_n only_o by_o change_v the_o phrygian_a tune_n and_o number_n into_o the_o spondean_n that_o he_o give_v over_o his_o wicked_a purpose_n and_o therpander_n when_o a_o great_a sedition_n be_v raise_v among_o the_o lacedaemonian_n he_o with_o his_o music_n so_o quiet_v their_o mind_n bend_v to_o fury_n that_o he_o reduce_v they_o to_o a_o perfect_a peace_n it_o be_v also_o write_v of_o the_o great_a alexander_n that_o he_o be_v so_o move_v by_o that_o tune_n and_o number_n of_o music_n which_o the_o greek_n call_v orthios_n nomos_fw-la which_o be_v a_o kind_n of_o haughty_a tune_n to_o stir_v man_n to_o battle_n that_o he_o rise_v from_o the_o board_n to_o arm_v himself_o as_o if_o the_o trumpet_n have_v sound_v the_o alarm_n but_o what_o talk_v we_o of_o the_o ancient_a opinion_n concern_v the_o force_n of_o music_n to_o move_v man_n mind_n when_o we_o find_v they_o believe_v that_o their_o god_n be_v force_v by_o the_o virtue_n of_o music_n to_o appease_v their_o wrath_n for_o the_o lacedaemonian_n being_n infest_a with_o a_o great_a pestilence_n thales_n of_o candia_n be_v say_v by_o music_n to_o have_v mitigate_v their_o anger_n and_o so_o to_o have_v deliver_v they_o from_o that_o mortality_n the_o which_o thing_n homer_n also_o signify_v when_o he_o say_v that_o the_o youngman_n of_o greece_n with_o their_o song_n do_v appease_v apollo_n his_o wrath_n and_o cause_v the_o plague_n to_o cease_v which_o have_v infect_v their_o camp_n and_o the_o roman_n likewise_o be_v annoy_v with_o a_o great_a

soul_n be_v three_o distinct_a soul_n and_o not_o join_v in_o one_o soul_n appoint_v for_o several_a office_n but_o because_o that_o opinion_n have_v be_v esteem_v but_o vain_a it_o need_v not_o to_o

to_o be_v in_o substance_n indivisible_a and_o albeit_o they_o assign_v unto_o her_o diverse_a virtue_n yet_o will_v they_o not_o have_v they_o to_o be_v indeed_o several_a and_o diverse_a but_o that_o the_o diversity_n shall_v proceed_v &_o consist_v only_o in_o the_o manner_n of_o understand_v they_o suppose_v they_o to_o be_v in_o the_o soul_n after_o such_o a_o sort_n as_o in_o the_o

they_o but_o one_o line_n and_o not_o several_a neither_o do_v they_o assign_v unto_o her_o diverse_a place_n but_o say_v that_o she_o be_v all_o and_o whole_a in_o all_o our_o body_n and_o in_o every_o part_n of_o the_o same_o and_o apt_a there_o to_o exercise_v all_o her_o function_n if_o the_o part_n be_v apt_a to_o receive_v they_o but_o because_o every_o part_n be_v not_o dispose_v to_o

they_o affirm_v that_o every_o one_o of_o those_o have_v a_o several_a seat_n appoint_v in_o man_n body_n to_o the_o vegetative_a from_o which_o as_o from_o a_o fountain_n they_o say_v the_o
