QUERIES about St. Paul's Organ.  
I. WHether Sir Christopher Wren would not have been well pleased to have received such a Proposal from the Organ-builder of St. Paul's, as should have erected an Organ, so as to have separated 20 Foot in the middle, as low as the Gallery, and thereby given a full and airy Prospect of the whole length of the Church, and six Fronts with Towers as high as requisite?  
II. Whether difficulty this Organ-builder finds in making Pipes to speak, whose Bodies are but 16 Foot long, does not prove how much harder it would have been for him, to have made Pipes of 22 Foot speak, as those at Exeter; or 32 Foot, as several Organs beyond Sea? And whether he has reason to complain of want of height, or room in the Case for higher, and larger Pipes, since those of a common size, have put him to a Non-plus? And whether he has not the greater Reason, because he gave the Dimensions of the Case himself?  
III. Whether the double Bases of the Diapasons in St. Paul's Organ speak quick, bold, and strong,( with a firm, plump, and spreading Tone) or on the contrary, slow, soft, and only buzzing, when touched singly? And whether they may not more properly be called Mutes than speaking Pipes?  
IV. Whether the Organ be not too soft for the choir now 'tis enclosed? And if so, what will it be when laid open to the Cupulo, and Body of the Church? And what further Addition of Strength, and Lowdness will it require to display its Harmony quiter through the large Concave of the Building, and answer the Service of the choir, which is the noblest for echo and Sound, and consequently of the greatest advantage to an Instrument, of any in Europe?  
V. Whether the Sound-boards, and Foundation of the Instrument, as well as Contrivance, and Disposition of the whole Work, will admit of more Stops to render the Organ in Proportion, five times as loud as now it is?  
VI Whether if 12 Stops( supposing there were so many in the great Organ) were played full in Chorus, 'twould not make St. Paul's Organ vibrate and faint? And if so, how can it be rendered louder by the Addition of Stops, since the Wind that does not well supply 12, must of necessity worse supply 13, and so onward?  
VII. Whether 'tis possible to make an Organ louder, that has all the Strength it can contain already?  
VIII. Whether there been't Organs in the City louder, sweeter, and of more variety than St. Paul's,( which cost not one 3 d. of the Price) And particularly, whether Smith at the Temple, has not out-done Smith at St. Paul's? And whether St. Andrew's Undershaft has not out-done them both?  
IX. Whether the open Diapason of Metal that speaks on the lower set of Keys at St. Andrew's Undershaft, be not a Stop of extraordinary Use and Variety, and such as neither St. Paul's has, or can have?  
X. Whether Depth in the Case gives nor Liberty for containing the greater Quantity and Variety of Work? And if so, why should not St. Pauls have as great Variety as other Organs, and the order of the Work be as well contrived, and disposed for Tuning and other Conveniencies, since its Case is near double the Depth, to any in England?  
XI. Whether the great Organ-builder will condescend to submit his Organ to the same Scrutiny, which all Artists of the same Profession do in all Countries? And if it be denied, whether it will not give the World, and particularly the Dean and Chapter of St. Pauls, reason to fear, that this Noli-me-tangere proceeds from some secret Cause? And to Question—  
XII. Whether the Cupulo, or the Organ at St. Paul's will be first finished?
