"The Music beeing applied (as was fit) to serve the matter; and the matter being divided into his several parts by beginning with a woord in Capital Letters: it foloeth that in the same place the Music dooth also begin again. Howbeit where the length of Music did conveniently extend it selfe to two branches of matter, by reason of their bre- viti: it is signified in the margent by this mark {. Where a branch of matter continueth on beyond the length of the Music, whereby som strains of the Music are to be repeated: the verses on which that repetition dooth fall, are noted by a mark of the same fashion, but larger size. And lastly, where the matter ends before the Music, it is expressed by these prict lines : : : : : at which the Music is to break off: and beginneth (as from the head) at the verse ensuing. And it hath been so provided in composing the Music, that the same may be doon without disgrace unto it. Som other small varieties are not difficult to be perceived."
