These interesting examples, mostly in the same time and key, and evidently intended to be
representative, require the following comments :

The sign + not written out, to which attention is drawn by (N.B.), stands for our tr., and signifies a
shake with the upper accessory.

The sign *v, also not written out, which occurs in No. 4 as sung, stands for a semi-shake

Playford, " Musick's Handmaid " (1678), 2nd Edition, Part I. Here the sole sign for graces is still t!iai
of the Parthenia ^
and no explanation is given. In Part II. **' occurs for a shake, and Vs for " a plain
note, and shake," as Purcell has it. In the " Introduction to -the Skill of Music " (17th edition, 1718)
Playford has
" A Springer": Expl. " A Cadent"
