Etimology of words and joyneth it in the third place to those that go before then he seeketh out parts of words in letters and syllables and the kinds in words of number and without number and placeth them with their transcitions in their several places And so the definitions of all the parts of Etimolog together with their distributions colligations and most special examples he placeth in their several places and so likewise in the Syntax This way all the arts have proposed to themselves CAP. 19. The second example of Method by example of Poets Orators Historiographers Q. But is method only set forth in matter of the arts and doctrine A. No it is also declared in all things which we would teach easily and plainly Therefore Poets Orators and all manner of writers as often as they propose any thing to teach to their auditors do follow this way although they do not enter and insist upon it all alike Q. Give an example out of some Poet Virgil in his Georgicks distributeth as I said before the proposed matter into four parts and in the first book followeth common things as Astrology Meteorology and of Corn and Tillage this was the first part of his work Then the transcition is adhibited in the beginning of the second book Thus far of tillage and of stars were we Now of the Bacchus we 'll sing presently Then he writeth generally of trees as also specially of plants the second transcition is adhibited to the third part but more imperfect and without an Epilogue In the beginning of the third book of Oxen Horses Sheep Goats Dogs We 'l sing of Goddess Pales all 's of him Who by Amphryso kept his sheep most trim At length in the beginning of the fourth book there is the third transcition of the fourth part but also imperfect from the only preposition of their Bees Now of their eyre honey Bee I 'le speak So therefore the Poet studieth to place the most general first the subalternate middle the most special in the last place Q. Give another poetical example A. Ovid. in Fast Useth this kinde of disposition proposing in the beginning the sum of his work I 'le sing of times that pass throughout the year Fall of the stars and rising I 'le declare By and by having made imploration he determineth the partition of the year made first by Romulus into ten months which he reprehendeth When as Romes builder did the year divide In it he made five moneths and five beside And a little after he adjoyneth Numa his more full devisor But Numa neither Janus did omit Nor yet the ancient shadows out did put But to th' old moneths two more appointed be Here the Poet having interpreted the common differences of Holy-dayes Working-dayes Banquet-days Kalends Nones Ides at the last he followeth every moneth in his place and with a preface after this order he passeth from generals to the study of specials I th' what I have you shewed what things be It now remains we part them presently At length after the exposition of every part the transcition is joyned as in the end of the first and beginning of the second book The first part of my task is ended now The moneth is done my little book also Janus is done another moneth beginneth Another book now with that moneth reneweth And in every one of his books after the transcitions are adhibited but less accurately Q. How do the Orators follow this method A. The Orators in Poems Narrations Confirmations Perorations do follow this order as the nature both of the art and the order of the thing do require and sometimes more studiously too Q. Give example A. Cicero in an accusation first by propounding then by parting followeth this order Questor Cu. paxeris saith he thou hast been Consul unto this time fourteen years and from that day unto this day in which thou hast made me I call thee unto judgement there was no void hour found in robbery wickedness cruelty iniquity This is the proposition and definition of the chief matter as in this judgement most generral The partition followeth These are the years consumed in the questorship and a Sciatican embassage and the Urban pretorship and in the Sicilian pretorship wherefore this shall be the fourfold disposition of my accusation which four parts with their particular partitions he hath also handled in their several order and place and coupled them with transcitions the three first in the third book Wherefore saith he his questorship being shewed and his first magistracy together with his theft and wickedness looked unto let us attend to the rest Then having expounded the faults of his embassadorship the transcition to his pretorship followeth But let us now come to that famous pretorship and those faults which were more known to those which were present then to us who come meditated and prepared to pleading This transcition is more imperfect without an epilogue at length in the beginning of the fourth oration there is the like transcition to the fourth part of the Sicilian pretorship Many necessary things O Judges I must pretermit that I may in some manner speak of those things which are commited to my trust for I have received the cause of Sicilia that province hath drawn me unto this business Q. Give an example ott of some Historiographer A. Livy doth so embrace the sum of seventy years in the beginning then divideth them by tens CAP. 20. The Secrets of Method Q. It seemeth that in the divers axiomatical homogenes as also in the judgement of the syllogism the notes of method shall be as often as any thing is taught clearly but is there no other kinde of method A. Yes when as the auditor shall be deceived in a certain part with delectation and a greater motion then certain homogenes are rejected as the lights of definition partition and transcition and certain heterogenes are assumed as digressions from the matter and commemorations upon the thing but chiefly the order of things in the beginnings is turned over and certain antecedents are put after consequents Therefore to that rule of perfect method this may seem somewhat more imperfect the form is not only lame things being detracted or abounding things being added but also the order of it being inverted by certain degrees is preposterous Q. Give an example of it A. The like the Poet maketh with a certain greater kind of artificialness while he propoundeth to himself to lead the people Viz. the beast like heads of the multitude and therefore he deceived diverse ways he beginneth in the middle and there oftentimes he comprehendeth the first to conclude the last he placeth in an uncertain and an unthought of chance So as Horace saith Homer disposeth his Iliads Ne doth this man Troy's Wars divide so well He always maketh haste the vent to tell Even in the midst his reader he doth catch Leaves off his tract with haste from it doth snatch And thus he lies thus mingles
