sample: THe definition is an Oration which dothe clearly declare what the thing is, The definition, is eyther perfecte and called properlye definition, or vnperfecte and called description. The perfecte definition is a definition which consistethe of the sole causes that accomplyshed the substance of the thing defined. Suche as be the generall argumente and the speciall or forme. So Man is defined a reasonable lyuyng thing: Here (by lyuyng thing) which is the generall argument, we vnderstande a corporall substance partaker of life and sence, which is the matter of Man: and parte of the forme: vnto the which, yf ye wyll put to (reasonable) ye shall comprehende the whole forme of man: So that the perfecte definition is nothing els but a collection of the causes which do constitute and parforme the substance and nature of the thing defined: suche as be the definition of Artes. Grammer an Arte which teachethe to speake well and congruouslye: Rethoricke eloquentlye: Dialecticke, an Arte which teachethe to dispute well: Geometrye, to Measure well.
