"A short hymn included as an illustration of the use of counterpoint. It is followed by this commentary: "In this air the last note only is for sweetness’ sake, altered from the rule, in the last note of the treble, where the eight being a perfect concord and better befitting an outward part at the close, is taken for a third and in the tenor instead of the fifth, that third is taken descending, for in a middle part, imperfection is not so manifest as in the treble at a close, which is the perfection of a song.""
