relation_n or_o passion_n and_o million_o of_o other_o now_o must_v the_o orator_n know_v that_o none_o of_o these_o can_v stand_v by_o it_o self_n but_o it_o be_v utter_o lame_a without_o height_n

that_o i_o be_o very_o much_o dissatisfy_v with_o the_o definition_n which_o they_o who_o have_v treat_v of_o this_o art_n general_o give_v amplification_n say_v they_o be_v that_o which_o bring_v a_o

to_o what_o they_o treat_v of_o now_o to_o i_o there_o appear_v a_o very_a great_a difference_n between_o height_n and_o amplification_n from_o the_o first_o we_o must_v expect_v elation_n from_o the_o second_o plenty_n therefore_o we_o often_o find_v the_o one_o in_o a_o particular_a sentence_n the_o other_o must_v come_v in_o a_o bulk_n and_o out_o of_o abundance_n for_o amplification_n to_o

rich_o pour_v forth_o itself_o and_o like_o a_o large_a ocean_n overwhelm_v all_o round_a about_o it_o hence_o be_v it_o i_o conceive_v this_o orator_n to_o be_v so_o noble_o passionate_a in_o his_o

the_o mind_n of_o the_o orator_n fall_v in_o upon_o those_o a_o band_n of_o trope_n therefore_o aristotle_n and_o theophrastus_n prescribe_v we_o some_o allay_n for_o the_o boldness_n of_o such_o
