quaver_n go_v to_o a_o semibrefe_n and_o last_o sixteen_o semiquaver_n go_v to_o a_o semibrefe_n this_o be_v sufficient_a for_o the_o know_v of_o the_o time_n only_o that_o if_o there_o be_v a_o little_a prick_n beside_o any_o one_o of_o they_o thus_o that_o then_o that_o prick_n do_v make_v the_o time_n he_o stand_v by_o half_o so_o long_o again_o as_o it_o be_v before_o as_o a_o prick_n by_o a_o semibrefe_n make_v it_o a_o semibrefe_n &_o half_o a_o semibrefe_n &_o so_o of_o all_o the_o rest_n &_o this_o learn_v by_o hart_n kni._n well_o when_o they_o can_v run_v this_o point_n or_o treble_v as_o you_o call_v it_o by_o 4._o and_o 4._o together_o in_o order_n a_o quaver_n or_o semiquaver_n time_n what_o be_v thereby_o to_o be_v note_v or_o learned_a as_o a_o profit_n attain_v towards_o the_o ready_a play_v of_o a_o lesson_n at_o the_o first_o sight_n which_o they_o never_o see_v before_o tim._n it_o be_v a_o very_a necessary_a question_n which_o you_o demand_v and_o you_o shall_v understand_v how_o necessary_a true_a and_o perfect_a a_o rule_n it_o be_v which_o not_o know_v it_o be_v impossible_a that_o ever_o one_o shall_v play_v a_o lesson_n either_o at_o the_o first_o sight_n or_o cunning_o for_o first_o where_o you_o see_v a_o letter_n or_o stop_v without_o any_o prick_n under_o it_o you_o shall_v for_o ever_o in_o the_o like_a stop_n strike_v it_o downward_o for_o two_o reason_n the_o first_o be_v if_o it_o stand_v alone_o that_o be_v if_o it_o be_v a_o and_o the_o next_o a_o or_o the_o first_o a_o and_o the_o second_o a_o the_o first_o a_o the_o next_o a_o go_v so_o inseverall_a time_n as_o thus_o these_o be_v say_v to_o stand_v alone_o that_o be_v not_o be_v accompany_v with_o fellow_n all_o of_o one_o time_n either_o crotchet_n quaver_n or_o semiquaver_n as_o thus_o and_o also_o be_v of_o a_o long_a time_n as_o semibrefe_n and_o minoms_z for_o it_o be_v a_o general_a rule_n that_o every_o stroke_n be_v more_o natural_a to_o be_v strike_v downward_o than_o upward_o but_o the_o swiftness_n of_o time_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o strike_v upward_o and_o the_o farnesse_n off_o of_o second_v a_o point_n as_o thus_o for_o here_o in_o the_o treble_a be_v the_o first_o of_o a_o point_n be_v strike_v upward_o which_o if_o the_o point_n be_v all_o of_o one_o string_n or_o still_o the_o next_o unto_o it_o thus_o go_v in_o 4._o and_o 4._o then_o for_o ever_o the_o first_o be_v down_o the_o second_o be_v up_o so_o that_o if_o the_o prick_n be_v away_o this_o be_v a_o general_a rule_n now_o by_o this_o rule_n you_o may_v by_o occasion_n strike_v twice_o down_o together_o as_o if_o you_o have_v a_o point_n begin_v thus_o here_o the_o first_o be_v downward_o because_o it_o stand_v alone_o and_o the_o second_o be_v strike_v downward_o because_o it_o be_v the_o first_o of_o a_o point_n this_o be_v one_o necessary_a rule_n and_o also_o profitable_a the_o second_o rule_n be_v you_o see_v in_o the_o first_o point_n how_o you_o use_v but_o two_o finger_n in_o all_o the_o whole_a lesson_n that_o be_v the_o forefinger_n &_o the_o second_o always_o hold_v your_o thoumb_n against_o your_o forefinger_n now_o it_o be_v a_o general_a rule_n that_o where_o you_o leave_v no_o stop_n leave_v no_o finger_n and_o where_o you_o leave_v a_o stop_n leave_v a_o finger_n as_o this_o example_n follow_v show_v here_o you_o see_v betwixt_o and_o no_o stop_v between_o therefore_o you_o leave_v no_o finger_n between_o again_o you_o see_v that_o in_o the_o next_o stop_v where_o you_o have_v and_o you_o leave_v a_o stop_n which_o be_v and_o consequent_o you_o leave_v a_o finger_n between_o the_o first_o and_o the_o three_o which_o be_v the_o second_o and_o this_o be_v ingenerall_n in_o play_v of_o any_o treble_n whatsoever_o now_o you_o have_v a_o general_a rule_n for_o strike_v downward_o and_o upward_o and_o also_o for_o leave_v a_o finger_n and_o no_o finger_n now_o you_o shall_v have_v a_o general_a rule_n to_o grace_v it_o as_o with_o pashionate_a play_n and_o relish_v it_o and_o note_v that_o the_o long_o the_o time_n be_v of_o a_o single_a stroke_n that_o the_o more_o need_v it_o have_v of_o a_o relish_n for_o a_o relish_n will_v help_v both_o to_o grace_v it_o and_o also_o it_o help_v to_o continue_v the_o sound_n of_o the_o note_n his_o full_a time_n but_o in_o a_o quick_a time_n a_o little_a touch_n or_o jerk_n will_v serve_v and_o that_o only_a with_o the_o most_o strong_a finger_n passionate_a play_n be_v to_o run_v some_o part_n of_o the_o square_n in_o a_o treble_a that_o be_v four_o and_o four_o first_o loud_v then_o soft_a and_o so_o in_o a_o decorum_n now_o loud_o now_o soft_a not_o in_o extremity_n of_o either_o but_o as_o company_n of_o other_o instrument_n or_o farnesse_v off_o give_v occasion_n and_o to_o the_o better_a instruction_n of_o all_o scholar_n for_o the_o lute_n i_o will_v god_n will_v set_v down_o some_o treble_n which_o shall_v contain_v all_o manner_n and_o kind_n of_o point_n for_o the_o finger_n in_o their_o due_a place_n of_o my_o book_n and_o the_o ground_n also_o to_o be_v play_v with_o they_o when_o they_o please_v and_o can_v have_v the_o ground_n play_v to_o they_o and_o now_o god_n will_v i_o will_v proceed_v to_o instruct_v my_o scholar_n how_o to_o play_v a_o full_a lesson_n what_o strange_a invention_n soever_o it_o shall_v seem_v to_o have_v in_o it_o notwithstanding_o i_o have_v know_v some_o which_o have_v be_v more_o curious_a than_o either_o cunni●●_n or_o wise_a who_o have_v strive_v to_o find_v out_o stop_v both_o unnatural_a unpleasant_a and_o unusual_a forsooth_o to_o be_v think_v great_a bug_n that_o have_v in_o all_o their_o life_n not_o be_v able_a to_o play_v even_o but_o a_o easy_a lesson_n in_o comparison_n at_o the_o first_o sight_n but_o rob_v and_o run_v by_o guess_n seem_v gay_a &_o goodly_a etc._n etc._n but_o let_v such_o look_v here_o and_o they_o shall_v find_v reason_n to_o guide_v they_o and_o truth_n in_o arte._n and_o so_o let_v they_o take_v heed_n of_o thould_v say_v art_n have_v no_o enemy_n but_o ignorance_n now_o to_o the_o purpose_n before_o i_o have_v teach_v you_o how_o to_o behave_v yourself_o in_o all_o single_a stop_n now_o be_v as_o diligent_a in_o all_o sort_n of_o full_a stop_n for_o in_o this_o lie_v all_o the_o whole_a skill_n for_o that_o in_o a_o full_a lesson_n all_o manner_n of_o stop_n full_a or_o single_a swift_a or_o slow_a be_v contain_v therefore_o know_v this_o and_o know_v all_o all_o which_o i_o will_v show_v you_o in_o brief_a and_o general_a rule_n god_n will_v with_o all_o such_o example_n as_o shall_v seem_v fit_a first_o you_o shall_v understand_v that_o we_o term_v the_o forefinger_n and_o the_o little_a finger_n of_o the_o stop_a hand_n two_o extreme_n for_o that_o they_o be_v the_o outmost_a part_n thereof_o &_o that_o in_o go_v downward_o with_o a_o point_n from_o the_o head_n of_o the_o lute_n the_o point_n be_v always_o begin_v with_o the_o forefinger_n as_o thus_o but_o contrariwise_o from_o the_o body_n of_o the_o lute_n to_o the_o head_n the_o point_n must_v be_v begin_v with_o the_o other_o extreme_a as_o this_o example_n show_v all_o such_o point_n i_o will_v set_v down_o in_o a_o fit_a place_n by_o themselves_o but_o by_o this_o example_n of_o the_o two_o extreme_n you_o see_v the_o first_o govern_v the_o upper_a part_n or_o fret_n and_o the_o other_o the_o nether_a part_n or_o next_o low_a and_o thus_o the_o forefinger_n always_o in_o any_o stop_n where_o b_o be_v full_a or_o single_a except_o there_o be_v in_o one_o stop_n 2._o bee_n and_o a_o a_o between_o be_v to_o possess_v the_o stop_n b_o as_o this_o example_n make_v plain_a note_v also_o that_o in_o any_o of_o the_o base_n in_o a_o full_a stop_n wherein_o be_v a_o &_o in_o the_o more_o treble_a string_n be_v the_o low_a of_o the_o stop_n that_o that_o be_v to_o be_v stop_v with_o the_o second_o finger_n always_o but_o if_o there_o be_v in_o stead_n of_o with_o in_o one_o of_o the_o base_n a_o than_o must_v be_v stopd_v with_o the_o forefinger_n as_o thus_o but_o in_o any_o full_a stop_n whatsoever_o wherein_o there_o be_v never_o a_o there_o lay_v your_o forefinger_n along_o in_o the_o high_a of_o the_o stop_n flat_a upon_o the_o neck_n of_o the_o lute_n as_o thus_o here_o lay_v your_o forefinger_n along_o in_o the_o first_o stop_n in_o in_o the_o next_o in_o in_o the_o next_o in_o in_o the_o next_o in_o etc._n etc._n always_o note_v this_o that_o in_o any_o stop_n whatsoever_o that_o you_o pluck_v away_o no_o finger_n until_o you_o needs_o must_v and_o as_o before_o i_o have_v teach_v you_o how_o to_o relysh_a in_o
