There are Figures [Greek or Hebrew] of a Word, and Figures [Greek or Hebrew], of a Sentence; the first, belong to the Matter, or as it were the Body of an Oration; the latter, to the Form, or as it were, the Soul of a Sentence.
There are Figures 〈non-Latin alphabet〉 of a Word, and Figures 〈non-Latin alphabet〉, of a Sentence; the first, belong to the Matter, or as it were the Body of an Oration; the latter, to the Form, or as it were, the Soul of a Sentence.
The former are, when a Speech is figured in Words repeated in a certain order, or, that mutually agree in sound, for Emphasis, or Ornament's sake. The latter are such, whose Emphaticalness consists not in Words singly, but in the things themselves giving weight and gravity to the Speech.* Vossius says, That a Scheme properly signifies two things, viz. The exterior Garb, and the Gesture of the Body; as Dancers, who caper at the noise of musical Instruments: For Schemes of Words may in this, be resembled to Habit, or Garb, because without them the Speech is naked, as a Man without his Clothes; and Schemes of Sentences, may be compared to Artificial Gestures, because, without these, it will be like a Man who moves or walks in his natural Place or Posture; of the first, we will produce some Examples.
