In the Fourth and last Column you have the Notes to each Line and Space and their Names as they are to be Sung when Mi is in Alamire Secondly you see the Lines of your Gamut are divided into three Fives expressing the Three several Parts in Musick viz. Treble Tenor and Bass And upon one of these Five Lines in every Part you will find a particular Mark or Character called a Cliff by which you may know exactly how to call every Note that is placed upon the five Lines or Spaces for upon the fourth Line from the bottom which is F-faut you will see this Mark ð„¢ which is called the Bass or F-faut Cliff because it is placed upon F-faut And upon the Second Line above it you will see this Mark ð„¡ which is called the Tenor or C-sol-faut Cliff And upon the Second Line above that you will find this Mark ð„ž which is called the G-sol-reut or Treble Cliff Now take any of the Five Lines which you see Tied or Braced together out of the Scale and you 'l find these several Cliffs placed as follows The Bass upon the upper Line but one of the Five The Tenor upon the middle Line of the Five and the Treble upon the lower Line but one of the Five Now as I said before by these Cliffs you may know exactly how to name your Notes when you see them pricked down either in Treble Tenor or Bass. But that you may the better understand them I 'le lay before you these following Examples in the Three several Cliffs The First Example in the Treble or Gsolreut Cliff Sol la fa sol la mi fa sol la fa sol la mi fa sol la fa sol la mi fa sol la fa sol la mi fa sol la fa sol la The Second Example in the Tenor or Csolfaut Cliff la fa sol la mi fa sol la fa sol la mi fa sol la fa sol la mi fa sol la fa sol la mi fa sol la fa sol la mi The Third Example in the Bass or F-faut Cliff fa sol la mi fa sol la fa sol la mi fa sol la fa sol la mi fa sol la fa sol la mi fa sol la fa sol la mi fa Thirdly You may here observe by these Examples that Mi is the principal or Master-Note which leads you to know all the rest for having found out that the other follows in course And this Mi as I have already shown has its being in Three several places The first of them you see is in Bmi but if a Flat which is known by this Mark â™ be set in that place then it is removed into its second place which you see is Elami and if a Flat be also set in that place then it is removed into its Third place which you see is Are or Alamire so that in which of these places you find it the next Notes above it Ascending as you may see in the foregoing Examples are called Fa sol la Fa sol la and then you see the next Note is called Mi again In like manner the next Notes below it Descending are called La sol fa La sol fa and then you see the next Note is called Mi again for it is found but once in eight Notes Ascending or Desecending Now I proceed to the first Example of Tuning the Voice or a Lesson of Plain Song upon Five Lines in the Treble or Gsolreut Cliff consisting of eight Notes gradually Ascending and Desending Sol la mi fa sol la fa sol sol fa la sol fa mi la sol Now you are to observe when a Sound is given to the first Note which is called Sol you are then to rise to La as the next in order above it one whole Tone or Sound and another whole Tone to Mi From Mi to Fa is but half a Tone From Fa to Sol and Sol to La are whole Tones From La to Fa but half a Tone From Fa to Sol a whole Tone And you might Ascend if your Voice would permit you Ten Thousand Octaves in the same Order as this one The difference between whole Tones and half Tones either rising or falling are easily distinguish'd for all whole Tones are chearful to the Ear but half Tones are melancholly and you 'l always meet with two half Tones either rising or falling within the compass of Eight Notes and those two are called Fa For to rise from Bmi to Csolfa and from Ela to F-faut are melancholly Sounds Also to fall from F-faut to Ela and from Csolfa to Bmi are melancholly sounds Now for fear you should not Sing these Notes in Tune at the first you ought to get the Assistance of a
