This is a vibrato: you put the finger on the string and sustain the sound.

When you find two notes tied together like these (4-5) you will 
strike [pluck] the first and will slide with the same finger 
[=glissando] on the second which is the perfect [consonance]. There 
is an istance of this in the Corrente detta la Sospettosa on page 9. 
It occours between two chords:
----0
-2---
------
------
-4--5
-2--0
The slur sign is between 4 e 5, so one plays the d cord and while 
plucking the two open g the 4th finger slides to 5.An other 
possibility is to play again f sharp together with the two g and make 
the slide after, doing a real appoggiatura, but the text seems to 
hint the first case.
