A09922	The praise of musicke wherein besides the antiquitie, dignitie, delectation, & vse thereof in ciuill matters, is also declared the sober and lawfull vse of the same in the congregation and church of God.	Case, John, d. 1600, attributed name.	1586 (1586)	STC 20184; ESTC S115011	65,829	162

be_v never_o hitherto_o conden_v to_o the_o former_a which_o dislike_v not_o all_o kind_n of_o music_n but_o that_o which_o be_v song_n by_o certain_a man_n ordain_v to_o that_o purpose_n answer_n allege_v that_o they_o will_v have_v all_o the_o people_n sing_v together_o i_o answer_v that_o if_o all_o can_v it_o be_v not_o amiss_o but_o because_o it_o can_v be_v i_o see_v no_o reason_n why_o the_o people_n may_v not_o take_v as_o good_a edification_n by_o the_o sing_n which_o other_o sing_v as_o by_o the_o prayer_n that_o other_o read_v especial_o if_o they_o so_o sing_v as_o they_o may_v be_v understand_v understand_v yea_o but_o say_v they_o this_o cunning_a and_o exquisite_a music_n wherein_o the_o base_a and_o contratenor_n &_o other_o part_n sing_v which_o it_o full_a quire_n with_o often_o repetition_n of_o the_o same_o thing_n be_v so_o confuse_v &_o undistinct_a that_o the_o very_a ditty_n can_v be_v understand_v much_o less_o any_o edification_n take_v if_o any_o 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 this_o obscurity_n can_v hardly_o be_v avoid_v it_o have_v be_v well_o provide_v for_o in_o the_o church_n that_o nothing_o shall_v so_o be_v song_n but_o such_o thing_n as_o be_v very_o familiar_a 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 offence_n at_o that_o which_o in_o itself_o be_v good_a again_o as_o it_o carry_v away_o some_o man_n with_o the_o pleasure_n of_o the_o note_n so_o for_o a_o recompense_n it_o cause_v some_o other_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 the_o better_a much_o rather_o but_o artificial_a sing_n be_v far_o better_a than_o their_o plain_a music_n for_o it_o strike_v deep_a and_o work_v more_o effectual_o in_o the_o hearer_n therefore_o much_o rather_o to_o be_v allow_v in_o god_n congregation_n touch_v the_o second_o opinion_n which_o exclude_v music_n whole_o without_o exception_n i_o mean_v several_o to_o make_v answer_n to_o
