6. When speeches too much and out of frame **

** this piece was recorded using a cornett in crystal resin (pink)

7. If thou wouldst know the swiftest thing **

As with No5 above, notice the slow metronome mark (46) in this piece. Two semi-breves per bar. 2 bars in at the beginning.
** this piece was recorded using a cornett in crystal resin (pink)

8a. No exercise can have

The 2nd part here is a bit grumbly. You might like to play it, as I do, on the tenor cornett. Failing a tenor, give it a try on the treble - good practice for low end control. OR just content yourself with playing the upper part in this version and then the lower, or both, parts in 8b below.
