Some distinguish this Figure into Imperfect and Perfect; the Imperfect they call that whereby the Speech of another is lightly and obliquely represented; or when one gives a short Narrative or Exposition of what another person spoke. The Perfect is, when the proper Person is wholly laid aside, and another Person or Thing is introduced as speaking; or when the very formal words of the Person introduced are recited, which from* Plato and Aristotle, de Poetis, is called [Greek or Hebrew], or Imitation: In the Sacred Scripture either the true Person is introduced as speaking, or an inanimate thing; the first is done openly or covertly: Openly as when the Verb of saying is premised, and a clear Intimation given that another Person speaks. Covertly, when the Verb of saying is omitted; in an Apert Prosopopoeia, the Speech is uttered of the thing it self; or else feigned and framed to signify another thing: the former is either good and true, or false and evil. Examples of these in order.
