then call them by their names, _viz._ _G_, _Fa_, _Le_,
_D_, _Ce_, then proceed to the Eighth Bar, and add to the other five
_D_, _La_, _G_, to make up an _Octave_, keeping in your Mind the
distances, as you Sing them in the former Examples; and by this means
you have the whole _Octave_ or Eight Notes from _G_ to _G_, which must
be practised down and up, and when you are perfect in it, so as to Sing
your distances true with the _Semi-tones_ in their right places, the
following directions will lead you through the rest of the Notes to Sing
any other _Octave_, beginning at any other Letter.

Begin at _Le_ again in the Ninth Bar, and begin the six Notes, _viz._
_Le_, _D_, _Ce_, _B_, _La_, _G_, in proper order, that done, repeat the
two last Notes, _viz._ _La_, _G_, by themselves: so proceed to the tenth
Bar, and Sing _La_, _G_, _Fa_, _Le_, _D_, _Ce_, so that _La_ and _G_,
may be the same in Tune as you found them in the former Six; and if so
be your Voice will not reach _Ce_, at the pitch you began the first Bar,
then Sing as far as you can, or begin at _Le_, at the ninth Bar higher,
Singing these three last Bars distinctly from the Foregoing.

In the Eleventh Bar you must Sing backward, your six last Notes, _viz._
_Ce_, _D_, _Le_, _Fa_, _G_, _La_. rising from _Ce_, to _La_, so going
one step Backward to _G_, rise to _Ce_, as in the foregoing fifth Bar,
which is an _Octave_ to the lower _Ce_. And thus much may suffice for
the Beginner to practice on, which, if well understood, will bring him
in to Sing Notes in any Tune.

_Of COCK-FIGHTING._

Herein let us first observe the choice of a _Cock_ of the Game, directed
by these four Characters following: That he be:

1. Of a strong _Shape_, proud and upright, and for this the
_Middle-sized_, neither too small or too large, is best, because most
matchable, strong and nimble. His _Head_ small like a _Sparrow-Hawks_;
his _Eye_ large and quick; _Back_ strong crook't at the setting on, and
coloured as the Plume of his Feathers; the _Beam of his Leg_ very
strong, and colour'd as his Plume; _Spurs_ long, rough, and sharp,
hooking inward.

2. Of a good _Colour_, and herein the Gray, Yellow, or Red Pyle, with a
black Breast, are to be preferred; the Pyde rarely good, and the White
and Dun never. A Scarlet Head is a demonstration of Courage, but a Pale
and wan of Faintness.

3. Of _Courage true_, which you shall observe by h
