practice may be exalted to a great degree of wonder All these and the like we make no more estimation of than we doe of the agilities and tricks of Tumblers Buffones Iuglers For they are almost all one thing seeing these abuse the Powers of the Body these the Powers of the mind and perchance they may have some strangenesse in them but litle or no worthinesse II This Art of Memory is built upon two Intentions Prenotion and Emblem we call Prenotion a Precision of endlesse investigation for when a man would recall any thing to Memory if he have no Prenotion or Preception of that he seeketh he searcheth indeed and taketh paines rounding this way and that way as in a maze of infinitie But if he have any certaine Prenotion presently that which is infinite is discharged cut off and the questing of the Memory is brought within a more narrow compasse as in the hunting of a Fallow Deere within the Parke Therefore it is evident that Method helpes the Memory for Prenotion suggesteth that it must agree with order So verses are sooner gotten by heart than Prose for if a man make a doubtfull stand at a word Prenotion prompts him that the word which agrees with the verse must be of such a Nature And this Prenotion is the first part of Artificiall Memory For in Memory Artificiall we have places digested provided before hand But we make Jmages extempore according as the present shall require But Prenotion doth admonish that the Image must be such as hath some resemblance with the Place this is that which awaketh and in some sort muniteth the Memory in the chase of what we seeke § Embleme deduceth Conceptions Jntellectuall to Images sensible and that which is sensible more forcibly strikes the Memory and is more easily imprinted than that which is Jntellectuall So we see that even the Memory of Beasts is stirr'd up by a sensible object not by an Jntellectuall So you will more easily remember the Image of a Hunts-man pursuing the Hare or of an Apothecary setting in order his Boxes or of a Pedant making a speech or of a boy reciting verses by heart or of a Iester acting upon a stage than the Notions of Invention Disposition Elocution Memory Action There are other things that pertaine to the helpe of Memory as we said even now but the Art which now is in use consists of these two Intentions now set downe To pursue the Particular Defects of Arts would be to depart from our intended Purpose Wherefore let thus much suffice for the Art of Retaining or of Custodie Now we descend in order to the fourth member of Logique which handles Tradition and Elocution THE SIXTH BOOK OF FRANCIS LO VERVLAM VICOUNT St ALBAN OF THE DIGNITY AND ADVANCEMENT OF LEARNING To the KING CAP.
