Garnishing of the manner of utterance called Pronunciation which in this Treatise is not principally aimed at Elocution or the garnishing of speech is the first and principal part of Rhetorique whereby the speech it self is beautified and made fine And this is either The fine manner of words called a Trope or The fine shape or frame of speech called a Figure The fine manner of words in the Greek 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 tropos verborum imitatio in English a change of words derived from 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 trepo muto to change A Trope is when words are used for elegancy in a changed signification or when a word is drawn from its proper and genuine signification to another It is a garnishing of speech in one word and is there only where the signification is changed as Bellorum procellae Magnes amoris 1 Chron. 16.32 33. The fields do laugh and sing that is look pleasantly and delightfully Luk. 13.32 33. Herod that Fox that is that politick dissembler In a Trope there are two things to be considered 1. The Species 2. The Affections The Species of Tropes are four viz. 1. A Metonymie which is when one meet or convenient reason or argument is put for another as the Efficient for the Effect the Subject for the Adjunct c. 2. An Irony which is when one contrary is put for another as Oh holy Gentiles for ungodly 3.

Catachresis which is when the Trope is abused or the words too far wrested from their native signification as Hos. 4.8 They eat up the sins of my people 2. Hyperbole which is when the Trope is exceedingly enlarged as Luk. 10.15 Thou that art lifted up to heaven 3. Metalepsis which is when divers Tropes are shut up in one word as 2 King 2 9. I pray thee let me have a double portion of thy spirit 4. Litotes which is when a word is put down with a sign of negation yet as much is signified as if we had spoken affirmatively if not more as Job 31.17 Job by this figure saith he hath not eaten his meat alone 5. An Allegory which is when the use of the same Trope is continued in a long discourse as Ephes. 6. from the 11. to the 18. verse Put on the whole Armour of God c.

If error delight us if error seduce us error will ruine us And as in a Trope or the finenesse of words words are considered asunder by themselves so in a Figure the apt and pleasant joyning together of many words is noted and as of words some are proper others changed from their proper signification so of speeches some are right and proper as they are others are figurative or serving for the representation of another thing The signification of a Figure in Scripture is twofold 1. When the Scripture it self propounds an Allegorical signification as when 1 Pet. 3.20 21.
