in_o ward_n surface_n of_o the_o pipe_n which_o be_v wet_a and_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o wood_n of_o the_o pipe_n unto_o which_o the_o wet_a come_v nor_o but_o it_o remain_v dry_a in_o frosty_a weather_n mosicke_n within_o door_n sound_v better_o which_o may_v be_v by_o reason_n not_o of_o the_o disposition_n of_o the_o air_n but_o of_o the_o wood_n or_o string_n of_o the_o instrument_n which_o be_v make_v more_o crispe_n and_o so_o more_o porous_a and_o hollow_a and_o we_o see_v that_o old_a lute_n sound_v better_a than_o new_a for_o the_o same_o reason_n and_o so_o do_v lute_n string_n that_o have_v be_v keep_v long_o sound_z be_v likewise_o meliorate_v by_o the_o mingle_v of_o open_a air_n with_o pent_n aire_n therefore_o trial_n may_v be_v make_v of_o a_o lute_n or_o viol_n with_o a_o double_a belly_n make_v another_o belly_n with_o a_o knot_n oliet_a the_o string_n yet_o so_o as_o there_o be_v room_n enough_o for_o the_o string_n and_o room_n enough_o to_o play_v below_o that_o belly_n trial_o may_v be_v make_v also_o of_o a_o irish_a harp_n with_o a_o concave_a on_o both_o side_n whereas_o ●●seth_v to_o have_v it_o but_o on_o one_o side_n the_o doubt_n may_v be_v lest_o it_o shall_v make_v too_o much_o resound_v whereby_o one_o note_n will_v overtake_v another_o if_o you_o sing_v into_o the_o hole_n of_o a_o drum_n it_o make_v the_o sing_v more_o sweet_a and_o so_o i_o conceive_v it_o will_v if_o it_o be_v a_o song_n in_o part_n sing_v into_o several_a drum_n and_o for_o handsomeness_n and_o strangeness_n sake_n it_o will_v not_o be_v amiss_o to_o have_v a_o curtain_n between_o the_o place_n where_o the_o drum_n be_v and_o the_o hearer_n when_o a_o sound_n be_v create_v in_o a_o wind-instrument_n between_o the_o breath_n and_o the_o air_n yet_o if_o the_o sound_n be_v communicate_v with_o a_o more_o equal_a body_n of_o the_o pipe_n it_o meliorate_v the_o sound_n for_o no_o doubt_n there_o will_v be_v a_o differ_a sound_n in_o a_o trumpet_n or_o pipe_n of_o wood_n and_o again_o in_o a_o trumpet_n or_o pipe_n of_o brass_n it_o be_v good_a to_o try_v recorder_n and_o hunter_n horn_n of_o brass_n what_o the_o sound_n will_v be_v sound_n be_v meliorate_v by_o the_o intention_n of_o the_o sense_n where_o the_o common_a sense_n be_v collect_v most_o to_o the_o particular_a sense_n of_o hear_v and_o the_o sight_n suspend_v and_o therefore_o sound_n be_v sweet_a as_o well_o as_o great_a in_o the_o night_n than_o in_o the_o day_n and_o i_o suppose_v they_o be_v sweet_a to_o blind_a man_n than_o to_o other_o and_o it_o be_v manifest_a that_o between_o sleep_v and_o wake_v when_o all_o the_o sense_n be_v bind_v and_o suspend_v music_n be_v far_o sweet_a than_o when_o one_o be_v full_o wake_v it_o be_v thing_n strange_a in_o nature_n when_o it_o be_v attentive_o consider_v how_o child_n and_o some_o bird_n learn_v to_o imitate_v speech_n sound_n they_o take_v no_o mark_n at_o all_o of_o the_o motion_n of_o the_o mouth_n of_o he_o that_o speak_v for_o bird_n be_v as_o well_o teach_v in_o dark_a as_o by_o light_n the_o sound_v of_o speech_n be_v very_o curious_a and_o exquisite_a so_o one_o will_v think_v it_o be_v a_o lesson_n hard_a to_o learn_v it_o be_v true_a that_o it_o be_v do_v with_o time_n and_o by_o little_a and_o little_a and_o with_o many_o essay_n and_o proffer_v but_o all_o this_o discharge_v not_o the_o wonder_n it_o will_v make_v a_o man_n think_v though_o this_o which_o we_o shall_v say_v may_v seem_v exceed_o strange_a that_o there_o be_v some_o transmission_n of_o spirit_n and_o that_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o teacher_n put_v in_o motion_n shall_v work_v with_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o learner_n a_o pre-disposition_n to_o offer_v to_o imitate_v and_o so_o to_o perfect_v the_o imitation_n by_o degree_n but_o touch_v operation_n by_o transmission_n of_o spirit_n which_o be_v one_o of_o the_o high_a secret_n in_o nature_n we_o shall_v speak_v in_o due_a place_n chief_o when_o we_o come_v to_o inquire_v of_o imagination_n but_o as_o for_o imitation_n it_o be_v certain_a that_o there_o be_v in_o man_n and_o other_o creature_n a_o predisposition_n to_o imitate_v we_o see_v how_o ready_a ape_n and_o monkey_n be_v to_o imitate_v all_o motion_n of_o man_n and_o in_o the_o catch_v of_o dottrell_n we_o see_v how_o the_o foolish_a bird_n play_v the_o ape_n in_o gesture_n and_o no_o man_n in_o effect_n do_v accompany_v with_o other_o but_o he_o learn_v ere_o he_o be_v aware_a some_o gesture_n or_o voice_n or_o fashion_v of_o the_o other_o in_o imitation_n of_o sound_n that_o man_n shall_v be_v the_o teacher_n be_v no_o part_n of_o the_o matter_n for_o bird_n will_v learn_v one_o of_o another_o and_o there_o be_v no_o reward_n by_o feed_v or_o the_o like_a give_v they_o for_o the_o imitation_n and_o beside_o you_o shall_v have_v parrot_n that_o will_v not_o only_o jimitate_v voice_n but_o laugh_v knock_v squeak_a of_o a_o door_n upon_o the_o hinge_n or_o of_o a_o cartwheel_n and_o in_o effect_n any_o other_o noise_n they_o hear_v no_o beast_n can_v imitate_v the_o speech_n of_o man_n but_o bird_n only_o for_o the_o ape_n itself_o that_o be_v so_o ready_a to_o imitate_v otherwise_o attain_v not_o any_o degree_n of_o imitation_n of_o speech_n it_o be_v true_a that_o i_o have_v know_v a_o dog_n that_o if_o one_o how_o lead_v in_o his_o ear_n he_o will_v fall_v a_o how_o ling_n a_o great_a while_n what_o shall_v be_v the_o aptness_n of_o bird_n in_o comparison_n of_o beast_n to_o imitate_v the_o speech_n of_o man_n may_v be_v further_o inquire_v we_o see_v that_o beast_n have_v those_o part_n which_o they_o count_v the_o instrument_n of_o speech_n as_o lip_n tooth_n etc._n etc._n like_a unto_o man_n than_o bird_n as_o for_o the_o neck_n by_o which_o the_o throat_n pass_v we_o see_v many_o beast_n have_v it_o for_o the_o length_n as_o much_o as_o bird_n what_o better_a gorge_n or_o attire_n bird_n have_v may_v be_v further_o inquire_v the_o bird_n that_o be_v know_v to_o be_v speaker_n be_v parrot_n pie_n lay_n daw_n and_o raven_n of_o which_o parrot_n have_v a_o adunque_n bill_n but_o the_o rest_n not_o but_o i_o conceive_v that_o the_o apinesse_n of_o bird_n be_v not_o so_o much_o in_o the_o conformity_n of_o the_o organ_n of_o speech_n as_o in_o their_o attention_n for_o speech_n must_v come_v by_o hear_v and_o learning_n and_o bird_n give_v more_o heed_n and_o mark_v sound_n more_o than_o beast_n because_o natural_o they_o be_v more_o delight_v with_o they_o and_o practice_v they_o more_o as_o appear_v in_o their_o sing_v we_o see_v also_o that_o those_o that_o teach_v bird_n to_o sing_v do_v keep_v they_o wake_v to_o increase_v their_o attention_n we_o see_v also_o that_o cock-bird_n among_o singing-bird_n be_v ever_o the_o better_a singer_n which_o may_v be_v because_o they_o be_v more_o lively_a and_o listen_v more_o labour_n and_o intention_n to_o imitate_v voice_n do_v conduce_v much_o to_o imitation_n and_o therefore_o we_o see_v that_o there_o be_v certain_a p●nt●vimi_n that_o will_v represent_v the_o voice_n of_o player_n of_o interlude_n so_o to_o life_n as_o if_o you_o see_v they_o not_o you_o will_v think_v they_o be_v those_o player_n themselves_o and_o so_o the_o voice_n of_o other_o man_n that_o they_o hear_v there_o have_v be_v some_o that_o can_v counterfeit_v the_o distance_n of_o voice_n which_o be_v a_o secondary_a object_n of_o hear_v in_o such_o sort_n as_o when_o they_o stand_v fast_o by_o you_o you_o will_v think_v the_o speech_n come_v from_o a_o far_o off_o in_o a_o fearful_a manner_n how_o this_o be_v do_v may_v be_v further_o inquire_v but_o i_o see_v no_o great_a use_n of_o it_o but_o for_o imposture_n in_o counterseit_v ghost_n or_o spirit_n there_o be_v three_o kind_n of_o reflection_n of_o sound_n a_o reflection_n concurrent_a a_o reflection_n iterant_fw-la which_o we_o call_v echo_n and_o a_o super-reflexion_n or_o a_o echo_n of_o a_o echo_n whereof_o the_o first_o have_v be_v handle_v in_o the_o title_n of_o magnitude_n of_o sound_n the_o latter_a two_o we_o will_v now_o speak_v of_o sound_n the_o reflection_n of_o species_n visible_a mirror_n you_o may_v command_v because_o pass_v in_o right_a line_n they_o may_v be_v guide_v to_o any_o point_n but_o the_o reflection_n of_o sound_n be_v hard_a to_o master_n because_o the_o sound_n fill_v great_a space_n in_o arch_a line_n can_v be_v so_o guide_v and_o therefore_o we_o see_v there_o have_v not_o be_v practise_v any_o mean_n to_o make_v artificial_a echo_n and_o no_o echo_n already_o know_v return_v in_o a_o very_a narrow_a room_n the_o natural_a echo_n be_v make_v upon_o wall_n wood_n rock_n hill_n and_o bank_n as_o for_o water_n be_v
