CHAP. II. Of a Paronomasia.
[Greek or Hebrew], Paronomasia, Agnomination, or Likeness of Words (of [Greek or Hebrew] which in Composition, signifies with Alteration, and [Greek or Hebrew] a Name, or from [Greek or Hebrew] to change, or allude to a Name or Word) is when by the change of one Letter or Word, the Signification thereof is also changed. This Figure is frequent in the Latin, and is very ornamental, as Nata salo, suscepta solo, patre edita Coelo— ab exordio, ad exodium. — And the native Beauty of it being peculiar to the Original Languages can hardly be shown in English. There are many in the Hebrew, of the Old; and the Greek of the New Testament, which the Learned may find in Glassius; take however a few English Examples, by which you may judg of the rest; as, Friends turned Fiends. You are like to have a bare gain out of this Bargain. Bolder in a Buttery than in a Battery. — Wine is the Blood of the Vine. — No stumbling but tumbling; Errors will cause Terrors. Scripture-Examples are many, as 2 Cor. 10.3. Though we walk in the Flesh, yet do we not war after the Flesh. 2 Cor. 6.9. As unknown, and yet known; see 2 Cor. 4.8, 9. and Mat. 8.22. Examples in the Hebrew Text are, Isa. 57.6. & 65.12. Gen. 18.27. Exod. 25.27. and 32.18. 1 Sam. 13.7
