Simplici not de vocibus. And for one word to be laied to another word is but accidental to it, so that Syntax doth not handle vox. He saith vox, not dictio,
though sometimes they be the same, yet it is dictio, as Rhetorick takes the notion of it; and here we may note two things, namely that first when we look at, or consider a thing Grammatically, we first give it a vox that is a name, for that is the most simple consideration of a thing. Secondly, It is not only vox which is spoken, but which is written al∣so.
