What is definition of a name, and how manifold is it?
Definition of a name, is a speech whereby the signification of some word is declared: and it is ten-fold.
1 Definition verball, as when a word lesse knowne is decla∣red by a word more knowne, as thus, To imitate, is as much to say, as to follow, or to counterfet: againe, to accomplish, is to fulfill.
2 Definition by difference; as, He is a King, which ruleth by Law; but he that ruleth by force, is a Tyrant.
3 Definition metaphoricall, or by figure; as, Adolescencie is the flower of mans age: Good Preachers are the salt of the earth▪
4 Definition by contrarie; as, Vertue is, to flee vice.
5 Definition by circumlocution; as, The writer of the Troian warre, that is to say, Homer.
6 Definition by example, as to say, that this word reasonable or vnreasonable is a speciall difference.
7 Definition by want, or desect; as, That is three quarters, which lacketh a quarrer of a yard, or any such like thing.
8 Definition by praise, or dispraise: by praise, as, Logicke is an Art of Arts, and Science of Sciences: Iustice is the Queene of all vertues. By dispraise, as, Idlenesse is the corruption or destru∣ction of youth.
9 Definition by similitude; as, The Sunne is the eie of the world; A Citie without a Magistrate, is as a ship without a Go∣uernour.
10 Definition by Etymologie; as, He is rightly called good∣man, because he is a good man indeed, and full of good workes.
