As we must take the carethat our words and sense be clear, so if the obscurity happenthrough the hearer's or reader's want of understanding, I am not toanswer for them, no more than for their not listening or marking; Imust neither find them ears nor mind. But a man cannot put a wordso in sense but something about it will illustrate it, if the writerunderstand himself; for order helps much to perspicuity, asconfusion hurts. (Rectitudo lucem adfert; obliquitas etcircumductio offuscat. {116a}) We... should therefore speak what wecan the nearest way, so as we keep our gait, not leap; for too shortmay as well be not let into the memory, as too long not kept in. Whatsoever loseth the grace and clearness, converts into a riddle;the obscurity is marked, but not the value. That perisheth, and ispassed by, like the pearl in the fable. Our style should be like askein of silk, to be carried and found by the right thread, notravelled and perplexed; then all is a knot, a heap. There are wordsthat do as much raise a style as others can depress it.
