It
may be asked,
What
is
the
difference
betwixt
thefe words
e
1nfw.
Some take it from the matter
of
them,fome
from the
man-
ner;
that
of
thematter
will
not hold
:
for
a
Pfalme
and Song are
of
a
like
concent
and
Art
:
the
difference is,
that
a
Pfalme noteth
a
dittie,
which bath inftrumentall muficke, going with ir, or
beginning

it.
So
[mizmar]
the nature of theword
doth
lead to
it.
