Now for your comfort know, that this is ten times more eafe
and feafihle than that other of the Organ j and that after ye are

Now This being granted, I may {ay, that I wiU^ or any MHfic\

^ojlnllings 5) and ^ jj^eZ^, that he need never beftow more coft to Note, Note*
perform th/,t nutjifufficTP.ntly during his life.
This I believe no judicious perfon in the ^ft will doubt of. And
then, when this Clarke is thus well accomplifi'd, he will be Co doated
upon by all the pretty ingenuous Children, and Tottng men in the
Tarifid, that (carcely any of them, but will be begging now and

And then again each Youth will be as ambitious to pulfe that
Pfalm-Tune in public kjio the Congregation, and no doubt but fhall
do it fuficiently well.

The Clark likewi(e will quickly get in his Money, by this
means.
And I (uppole no Parent will grutch it him, but rather rejoych
in it.
' Thus may you perceive how very eafily, and certainly thefe

' Therefore, be but mllingly refolvd^ and the work will Coon
