1. On the Musique of Organs.
Observe this Organ: Marke but how it goes:'Tis not the hand of him alone, that blowes
The unseene Bellowes; nor the Hand that playes
Vpon th'apparent note-dividing Kayes,
2
Before the high Tribunall of thine eare:
They both concurre: Ech acts his severall part:
Th'one gives it Breath; the other lends it Art.
Man is this Organ: To whose every action
Heav'n gives a Breath (a Breath without coaction)
Without which Blast we cannot act at all;
Without which Breath, the Vniverse must fall
To the first Nothing it was made of: seeing
In Him we live, we move, we have our Being:
Thus fill'd with his Diviner Breath, and back't
With his first powre we touch the Kayes and act:
He blowes the Bellowes: As we thrive to skill,
Our Actions prove like Musicke, Good or Ill.
