io6 THE ARTE OR CRAFTE OF RHETHORYKE
"VII. Officia, reddere ciui, magistratui, patriae, liberis, coniugibus, amicis, quod debetur.
"VIII. Comparatio specierum. [This section Cox omits.]
" IX. Affinia, fortitude, liberalitas, temperantia.
"X. Contraria, metus, auaritia, luxus &c."
Compare the "Example in commendacion of Justice" in Wilson, fol. I3b et seq., in illustration of the same point.
47 : 35 48 : 6. Added by Cox.
48 : 7 49 : 24. This entire passage is a direct but free translation from M. I.
49 : 25 f. Follows M. generally, but the illustrations are supplied by Cox. It will be noticed that Cox here as elsewhere freely omits whole sentences from his original.
50 : i 28. Direct translation, with the addition of explanatory phrases.
50 : 16. " Benevolence is the place," etc. From Melanchthon, de Rhetorica (ed. of 1523, C viii a): " Benevolentiam captamus, aut a nostra persona, aut ab audientium persona, aut ab ipsa causa."
50 : 22. "Out of this place [of 'Benevolence'] is let the preamble of St. Gregory Nazazene, made to the prayse of St. Basyl." See Opera Magni Basilii .... Romae 1515, fol. iii a: " Monodia Grsegorii Nazianzeni in Magnum Basilium."
" . . . . Ego uero si hac uti facultate ullo unguam tempore debeo : nesciam profecto ubi melius aut religiosius siue oportunius quam in huius laudibus uires meas omnis intendam. Quod officium tribus omnino de causis mihi adsumendum duxi. Primum, ut amicissimi ac mei aman- tissimi pietatis hoc munus, quando aliud nequeo, extremuw impendam. Deinde ut omnibus bonis & illius uirtutem colentibus atq#<? admirantibus rem gratissimaw faciam. Postremo quod exitum qualemcuwqw<f sortiatur oratio, feliciter eueniet. Nam si prope ad eius meritoruw narrationis me tarn peruenerit : id potissimum quod optamus adsequemur nostra dictio magnopere commendabitur. Si uero longe," etc. (as below).
There seems to be no passage corresponding to this in the original Greek text as printed in Migne, Patrologia Cursus Completus, Paris 1858, Vol. XXXVI pp. 493 f., nor in the Latin translation accompanying that edition. Perhaps Cox after all went no farther than Melanchthon.
51 : 3 52 : 2. Direct translation.
51 : 24. "And so taketh St. Nazazene benevolence" etc.
Op. cit., fol. iii a: " .... Si uero longe infra spem remaneat huius maxime sancti cowmendationi adcedet : quod eius laus ac vita omni sit co^mendationi superior. Virtus namgue encomii ilia demuw est : quem- admodum ea que laudantur omni sint oratione superiora ostendere."
