They should be drawn up like a well disciplined Army, in rank and file. Confusion in words is as bad as confusion in things; Some heap up words, but they do not rightly dispose nor order ⟨p. 96⟩them; all they speak is out of joint or frame. As a multitude or rout of men, doth not make an Army; we may see ten thousand men together, and yet no Army; why? because they are not in order or method, they are not under Discipline, and so they are but a confused throng, not an Host of men. And thus a great many words huddled and thronged together, are of no more force nor use, then a number of men without order; Method is very good in every thing we do, especially in what we speak; A speech rightly ordered, is like an Army rightly marshalled. A word fitly spoken, fitly as to the season of it, and fitly as to the jointing and disposing of it (we may take in both in that place of Solomon, A word fitly spoken) is like apples of gold in pictures of silver.
