§ 3 And this also is the first and proper signification of the Greek word [Greek or Hebrew], Canon. So the Scholiast on that of Aristophanes, [Greek or Hebrew]. tells us, that [Greek or Hebrew] is [Greek or Hebrew]: properly that which is over the scales bringing them (and the things weighed in them) to equality. The very same with the Hebrew [Greek or Hebrew] from which it is derived.1 So Varinus tells us that it is properly the tongue in the balance, and in use [Greek or Hebrew]. Thus Aristotle says, [Greek or Hebrew], by that which is right,2 we know its self, and that which is crooked, for the Canon is judge of both: where he useth the word for any kind of rule or measure answering unto the other signification of Kaneh in the Hebrew. Rectum and Canon, that which is right, and the rule, are one and the same; the one expression denoting the nature of any thing, the other its Use and Application.
