Of the fift Tone.

THe fift Tone is a Rule, determining the Authenticke of the third manner, or it is an Authenticall Progression of the third. Whose regular end is in Ffaut; and irregular end in Csolfaut. The beginnings of it (as Franchinus witnesseth) are Foure, F. G. a, and c. whose chiefe forme is this: 〈♫〉〈♫〉 Capitale quinti. Gaude Dei genitrix. Gau di a.

The tuning of the smaller Psalmes out of Csolfaut, and of the greater out of Ffaut, is in this sort. 〈♫〉〈♫〉 Laudate pueri dominum. Memento do. Da. Mag. anima mea dominum. 〈♫〉〈♫〉 The Melody of the Verses in the answeres of the Fift Tone. 〈♫〉〈♫〉 The manner in the beginnings of the Verses of the Fift Tone.
