sample: And I so much the rather beleeue him, in that Our Thomasius Dictionary translates the word Solœcismus, Incongruitie; euen to th' eleuenth Editoon, And, saith he, By how much more they endeauour to flee these Solœcisms, so much the more they fall into them. For, as Quintilian saith, Solœcismus non est in sensu, sed in complexu; is not in the sense, but in the disposition of the words, or foulding of them one with another: which in another place he makes more manifest; saying, A Solœcisme is an inconuenient placing of last and first together in a speech of one sentence; meaning, by nconvenient, that which is not in vse among the antient Writers. For, whatsoeuer is in vse, is neither inconuentient, nor a Solœcism. (p. 36)
