Hypodorian tone, for inftance, for the outfet ; or the 
Mixolydian and Dorian, for the conclufion ; or the 
Hypophrygian and Phrygian, for the middle; fince 
the harmonic treatife does not extend fo far, but has 
need of many others. For of the force of propriety 
it cannot judge, lince neither the chromatic nor the 
enharmonic genus will ever contain a perfedt force of 
propriety, fuch as to difcover the ethos of the com- 
pofition, that being the bufmefs of the artift. And 
again, it is plain, that the voice [pitch] of the iyftem 
is to be diftinguifhed from the melopoe'ia wrought in 
the fyftem, the coniideration whereof does not be- 
long to the harmonic treatife (35)- Having now 
finifhed my head of proofs, l come, 
Lnjlly , To confider how far this fubjedt has been 
underftood by Meibomius, Wallis, and fome 
few others that have wrote fince ; and in what 
refpedt their explanations differ from my own. 
In refpedt to the opinion of Meibomius, Malcolm 
tells us,- that that writer, in his notes on Arillides 
Quintilianus, affirms the differences of the modes.
