ought to bee without glosing and affectation As that is not the best picture which by the matter testifieth the wealth of the owner or the art of the painter but that which truly representeth the thing it personateth so that is the best eloquence which maketh no ostentation of the witte of the speaker but verie fitly sheweth the matter As silken garments are discommended because the bodie appeares thorow them whereas garments were inuented to couer the bodie so that eloquence is ridiculous which doth not declare the matter but obscure and darken it seeing that speech was giuen vs to lay open our mindes and matters Plin. lib. 11. cap. 22. As the Boxe tree is alwayes greene but of a naughtie sauour and hath seede odious vnto all liuing creatures so some besides the grace of speech do bring nothing but that which is to be auoyded Idem lib. 16. cap. 17. The tree Tilia hath a sweete barke and sweete leaues yet no liuing creature can abide to taste or touch the fruit of it so the speech of some is elegantly composed and Rhetoricallie deliuered and yet there is no fruite of matter or sentence in it Ibidem cap. 15. Theophrastus lib. 1. cap. 10. As some Phisitians are almost skilfull in the cure of all diseases and languors and yet can render no true reason of them so some verie eloquent know all the points of Rhetoricke and the groundes of their Arte yet are verie bare in the substance of argument or soundnesse of matter Philo in lib. quod deterius potiori insidietur As infantes cannot speake but by hearing others talke so none can be eloquent but by reading and hearing elocutions and exornations of speech August lib. 4. de doct Christ cap. 3. As hee that hath a beautious bodie and a deformed minde is more lamented for then if both partes were deformed so they that deliuer false things eloquentlie are more to bee pittied then if they spake them rudely and clownishly ibidem cap. 28. As holesome meate retaineth his owne vertue whether it bee deliuered out of an earthen vessell or a siluer Platter so truth is not impayred whether it bee vttered politikelie or plainely Idem libro 5. confessionum cap. 6. As luxurious persons behold the comelinesse of the bodie and not the beautie of the mind so some only marke the structure of orations and not the frame of argumēts Theophilus Alexand. Epist 2. Paschali As Brasse is ingendred of Sulphur and Quicksiluer so eloquence is compounded of two things of interior meditation which resembleth sulphur and of exterior pronunciation which resembleth quicksiluer As brasse being mingled with other mettals changeth both colour vertue wherupon there comes three kindes one white like siluer another yellow like golde and a third also like golde drawne into thinne plates which players make their crownes of so eloquence is threefold spirituall eloquence which gaines soules secular eloquence which winnes gaine and poetical eloquence which moues delight As Brasse soone rusteth if it bee not oyled so eloquence soone becommeth offensiue if it be not annointed with the oyle of charitie As brasse is the fittest mettall to make bels trumpets of by reason of the sound so eloquent men are best to make preachers of because they will be heard As brasse hath many vertues against many infirmities for as Plin. and Diosc say brasse being burnt and puluerized dooth purge hurtfull humors heale wounds expel darknes from the eies and eateth away superfluous flesh so diuine eloquence and the tongue of a preacher being burnt that is inflamed with the fire of the holy spirit and puluerized that is grounded on humilitie hath vertue to dissolue the hardnes of heart to drie the lust of the flesh to purge the noysome affections of sinfull men to heale the woundes of temptations to banish the mists of errors and to eate away the gluttonie of intemperate persons Though the Rose bee sweete yet being tied with the Violet the smell is more fragrant though meate nourish yet hauing good sauour it prouoketh appetite the fayrest nosegay is made of many flowers the finest picture of sundry colours the holsomest medicin of diuers hearbs so though the naked truth be welcome yet it is more gratefull if it come attired and adorned with fine figures and choice phrases A good gouernor that is also beautifull is more acceptable to the people so is a Philosopher that is eloquent Seneca A Diamond set in gold is more grateful so is the truth adorned with eloquence Speech AS neying is proper to a horse barking to a dog bellowing to an oxe and roaring to a lion so speech is proper vnto man Philo lib. de somniis As a sicke man doth not seeke for a learned phisitiā but for one skilful to cure him so we do not expect a flaunting speech of a Philosopher Seneca apud Erasmum Musitians make the sweetest melody by the gentlest touch so a gentle speech doth more moue the people then a crabbed Plutarchus in Moral As a horse is turned about with a bridle and a ship by a sterne so men are ledde by speech ibidem As houses without doores are vnprofitable so are men that haue no rule of their speech Ibidem As in calamitie our firmest best friends are present with vs so let our best speeches be also present Ibidem Some do loue nothing in an apothecaries shop but the fragrancy of the smel neglecting the goodnes of preseruatiues and the vertue of purgatiues so some do looke for nothing in Plato and Demosthenes but the puritie of the Atticke speech Ibidem Arras cloathes when they are wide opened do shew the pictures wrought in thē but beeing lapped vp they conceale and hide the same so a speech aptly composed and well pronounced doth set before our eyes the order and course of the mater but beeing ended the most of it slippeth our of our mindes Idem in Graecorum apophthegmatis As women doe then smell well when they smell of nothing so that speech hath the best ornament that wants affectation Cicero ad Attic. lib 2. As the Painter Protogenes knew Apelles by the draught of one line although hee had neuer seene him before so by one only speech a man may bee discerned what wit and wisdom he hath Eras in similibus As the same sunne doth melt waxe and hardē clay so the same speech doth make some better and some worse according to the diuersity of dispositions As the loade stone doth not drawe any thing vnto it but Iron although other thinges bee much lighter so the speech of some doth not moue all but onely those that are inclined to that they perswade As salte moderately sprinkled on meate doth season it and addes a liking to our taste so if thou minglest in thy speech some antiquitie or pretty conceit it addes great beauty vnto thy talke but if it bee done too affectedly there is nothing more vnpleasant In a vine whatsoeuer is taken away by pruning from the
