¶Of Guile.
Now let us speak of the first. That which the Latins call Dolus (that is guile) the Grecians call [Greek or Hebrew], so that their word and the Latins, is almost all one. But the Hebrews call it Mirmah or Rimiah. Then we must know this, that guile is there used, where any thing lieth secret which is hidden,1 lest the guile should appear or easily be seen. Wherefore Plautus said, Guiles unless they be covered by craft, they are no guiles. Thus much as touching the name. Now let us come to the definition.
NOw let vs speake of the first. That whiche the Latines call Dolus (that is guile) the Grecians call 〈non-Latin alphabet〉, so that their worde and the Latines, is almost all one. But the Hebrues call it Mirmah or Rimiah. Then we must know this, that guile is there vsed, where any thing lyeth secret whiche is hidden,1 lest the guile should appeare or easely be sene. Wherfore Plautus sayd, Guiles vnlesse they be couered by craft, they are no guiles. Thus much as touching the name. Now let vs come to the definition.
