about to procure it, so that it maie be well saide, |hee did exasperate his furies the more, by inducing such a speach, or such an acte:| but it cannot bee so properlie deliuered to saie, |exasperate not your selfe for such a thing|, especiallie when I am not therewith so much as in anie mislike alreadie, which no man canne at anie time bee, without he first knowe an occasion: your |Vrbanitie| likewise being deriued of the Latine worde |Vrbanus|, which is ciuile, courteous, gentle, modest, or well ruled, as men commonlie are in Cities and places of good gouernement, whereof that worde taketh his originall, the worde is not common amongst vs, nor so apt to the sense as if hee had saide, |your curtesie, your modestie|, and so it might run thus, |Let not your curtesies be agreeued against me|, or, |Let it not be offensiue to your modesty, that for the benefite of a great manie, I haue published this volume of Physicke|. The grounde was verie good, for his intendment was, that the cause belonged to a common wealth, wherein if anie particular commoditie seemed to be lessened, wise men and such as were more studious of their Countries good, then of their owne peculiar gaine, ought not to be offended. Then saith he: |And this not only, but also I doe it for no detriment, &c.| What confused deliuerance is this? How much more orderlie thus, which soundeth also more to his meaning. |And this also respected, in that I doe it not for anie detriment vnto you, but for a preferment of your laudable science|. Then his comming in with |arcane science, inartious fooles and insipient persons|, had it not beene lesse improper, if hee had saide |profounde science, and vnskilfull or vnlearned|, for |inartious|, and to haue contented himselfe with his |fooles|, without adding to the same |insipient persons|. Lastlie he proceedeth: |And many the which dooth thinke themselues wise (the which in this facultie are fooles indeede) will enterprise, &c.| Here is |the which| and |the which|, a phrase neuer with vs accustomed, nor with anie good writer in his time (which was not manie yeares since) the sence whereof might in this sort more plainelie bee deliuered. |And many who in their owne opinion doe seeme verie wise (but therein are in truth verie fooles) will enterprise, &c.| But of this ynough, for that I thinke it nowe high time to proceed to the rest, these two exemples being sufficient to admonish the learner, of the congruitie of his speaches and sentences, with good phrases that bee most agreeing to the meaning, and not improperlie, to be deliuered, whereby he shall auoid the like errour, and absurditie in conueiance hereby expressed, and already so much reprehended.= Of the habite and parts of an Epistle. _Cap. 3._ [Sidenote: Character of an Epistle generall.] [Sidenote: Epistles distinguished into generall and speciall.] [Sidenote: Letters general are familar.] [Sidenote: Letters special.] [Sidenote: Difference of stile.]
