j Tones are not fo apt altogether to procure Sleepe, as fbme other Sounds^ 
I As the Winde^ the Purling of water. Humming of Bees , a Sweet Woice of one , 
! thatreadeth, &c. The Caufe whereof is, for that 7 V»«,becaui’c they are 
Equal!, and hide not, doe more ftrike and erect the Senfc,than the other. 
And Oner-much Attention hindereth Sleepe. 
There bee in Mufickecename Figures, or Tropes ; almoftagreeing with 
the Figures of Rbetoricke • And with the Affections of the l Minde, ando- 
ther senfes. Firft, the Diuifion and pattering, which pleafefo much in 
Muficke, haue an Agreement with the Glittering of Light • As the Moone- 
Beams s playing vpon a Wane. Againe, the Falling from a Difcord to a 
Concord, which maket-h great S weetnefle in Muficke, hath an Agreement 
with Affections, which are reintigrated to the better, after fome dif- 
likcs : It agreeth alfowith the Tafts, which is fbone glutted with that 
which is fweet alone.The Sliding from the Clofe or Cadence, hath an Agree¬ 
ment with the Figure in Rhetoricke, which they call Preter Expect mm • 
For there is a Plealure euen in Being deceived. The Reports and Fugcs, haue 
an Agreement with the Figures in Rbetoricke, of Repetition, atd Traduftion. 
The Triplet s , and Changing of Times, haue an Agreement with the Chan¬ 
ges of Motions 5 As when Galltard Tim?, and Meafure Time, are in the Med¬ 
ley, of ore Dance. 
Ithathbeene anciently held, and obferued, that the Senfeof Hearing, 
and the Kindes of Muficke , haue moll Operation vpon Manners • As to 
IncourageMen, and make them Warlike ; To make them Soft and Ef¬ 
feminate ; To make them Graue • Tomake them Light * To make them I 
Gentle and inclined to Pity, &c. The Caufe is, for that the Senfeof 
Hearing ftriketh the Spirits more immediately, than the other Senfes • And 
moreincorporeally than the Smelling : For the Sight, Tafie, and Feeling, 
haue their Organs, not of fo prelent and immediate Accede to the Spi¬ 
rits, as the Hearing hath. And as for the Smelling, (which indeed wor- 
kethalfo immediatly vpon the Spirits, and is forcible while the Object 
remaineth,) iris with a Communication of the Breath, or Vapour of 
the obicB 0 derate i But Harmony entring eafilv, and Mingling not at 
all, and CommingwithaManifeft Motion ; doth by Ciiftomeof often 
AffcAing the Sprits, and Putting them into one kindeof Pofture, alter 
not a little the Nature of the Spirits, euen when the Obied isremoued. 
And therefore wee lee, that Tunes and Aires , euen in their owne Nature, 
haue in themfelues fbmc Affinity with the AjfeBions 5 As there bee Mer¬ 
ry Tunes, Dolefall Tunes, Solemne Ttines • Tunes inclining Mens Mindes to 
Pity ; Warlike Tunes ; &c. So as it isnoMaruell, if they alter the Spi- 
rits ^ Confidering that Ttines haue a Predifpofition to the Motion of the 
Spirits in themfelues. But yet it hath beene noted, that though this va¬ 
riety of Tunes, doth difpofe the Spirits to variety of Paflions, conforme 
vntothem j yet generally, Muficke feedeth that difpofition of the Spirits' 
which it findeth. Wee fee alfo that feuerall Aires, and Tunes, doe pleafe 
feuerall Nations, and Perfons , according to the Sympathy they haue with 
1 that Spirits.
