Todas las cosas que hata este lugar y de aqui adelante fueren escritas, en las quales pareçieren falsas que disonan mucho, si fueren consideradas a que fin son hechas, hallar las an puestas no sin causa, por que a vezes una falsa pareçe querer hazer una cosa y haze otra, como pareçe en todas las bozes que son echadas con falsas.

If one considers the purpose of all the things that have been written so far and will be written from now on which contain raw dissonances, one will find that they have not been placed without reason. Because sometimes a dissonance seems to want to do one thing, but it does another, as it appears in all the voices that contain dissonances.

Si l’on considére la finalité de toutes les choses qui ont été écrites jusqu’à présent et qui le seront dorénavant, dans lesquelles les dissonances semblent très crues, on trouvera qu’elles n’ont pas été placées sans raison, parce que parfois, une dissonance semble vouloir faire une chose et elle en fait une autre, ainsi qu’il apparaît dans toutes les voix qui contiennent des dissonances.
