thing_n will_v satisfy_v these_o man_n answer_n i_o think_v this_o which_o i_o shall_v say_v may_v be_v in_o steed_n of_o a_o reasonable_a answer_n that_o the_o sing_n of_o so_o many_o part_n together_o cause_v the_o ditty_n not_o to_o be_v understand_v it_o be_v vitium_fw-la hominum_fw-la non_fw-la artis_fw-la the_o fault_n be_v in_o they_o that_o so_o sing_v and_o not_o in_o the_o art_n for_o no_o doubt_n but_o a_o full_a choir_n of_o good_a &_o distinct_a voice_n may_v be_v aswell_o understand_v as_o two_o or_o three_o pronounce_v the_o same_o thing_n again_o because_o in_o deed_n

and_o know_v unto_o the_o people_n and_o whereas_o they_o object_v the_o often_o repetition_n of_o the_o same_o thing_n as_o a_o fault_n i_o think_v they_o blame_v that_o which_o by_o their_o own_o reason_n shall_v rather_o be_v commend_v for_o if_o some_o thing_n by_o the_o number_n of_o the_o voice_n be_v hardly_o understand_v at_o once_o then_o sure_o the_o 2.3_o or_o 4._o repetition_n be_v a_o mean_a to_o cause_v it_o to_o be_v understand_v the_o better_a neither_o if_o it_o be_v understand_v at_o the_o first_o be_v it_o therefore_o a_o fault_n to_o repeat_v it_o again_o because_o the_o often_o ingeminate_v and_o sound_v the_o same_o thing_n in_o our_o ear_n do_v cause_v the_o thing_n repeat_v to_o take_v deep_a root_n and_o work_v effectual_o in_o our_o heart_n the_o three_o reason_n be_v because_o exquisite_a music_n make_v we_o more_o intentive_a to_o the_o note_n 13._o than_o to_o the_o matter_n and_o to_o this_o purpose_n they_o allege_v the_o place_n of_o s._n augustine_n where_o he_o say_v that_o he_o do_v sin_n mortal_o when_o he_o be_v more_o move_v with_o the_o melody_n than_o with_o the_o ditty_n that_o be_v song_n answer_n very_o i_o do_v in_o no_o wise_n allow_v that_o man_n at_o the_o read_n of_o the_o chapter_n shall_v walk_v in_o the_o body_n of_o the_o church_n and_o when_o the_o organ_n play_v give_v attentive_a heed_n thereunto_o as_o if_o the_o whole_a and_o better_a part_n of_o service_n do_v consist_v in_o music_n for_o this_o be_v a_o wonderful_a abuse_n but_o if_o they_o will_v learn_v to_o lay_v the_o fault_n where_o the_o fault_n be_v they_o may_v easy_o learn_v to_o satisfy_v themselves_o herein_o for_o it_o be_v not_o the_o fault_n of_o music_n if_o thou_o be_v too_o much_o therewith_o allure_v but_o thy_o own_o and_o saint_n augustine_n in_o that_o place_n do_v not_o condemn_v music_n for_o the_o sweet_a sound_n thereof_o but_o his_o own_o frail_a and_o weak_a nature_n which_o take_v occasion_n of_o

to_o give_v great_a heed_n and_o attention_n to_o the_o matter_n even_o as_o the_o sound_n of_o the_o trumpet_n in_o the_o war_n be_v to_o the_o dastardly_a and_o white_a liver_v knight_n a_o cause_n of_o fear_n but_o to_o the_o valiant_a soldier_n a_o hearten_v and_o encouragement_n wherefore_o for_o a_o final_a answer_n unto_o these_o i_o think_v a_o man_n out_o of_o their_o own_o word_n may_v gather_v this_o good_a collection_n against_o they_o sing_v in_o the_o church_n they_o allow_v whereupon_o i_o infer_v if_o the_o worst_a sort_n of_o sing_v be_v allowable_a in_o the_o church_n than_o
