=_Aposiopesis_, when by passing to another matter, we stop our spéech on a sudden, as it were in an interrupted or discontented mood, as to say, |Are these the practises you take in hand? be these your deuises? hath your worthy courage endeuored so mighty effectes? But I will first tame your courses, and for the residue, I wil hold you in so bridled a meane, that my selfe will warrant you henceforth from any such like further proceedings|. Or thus, |Vngratefull creature, hast thou dealt wel with me in thus conspiring my ill that haue euer sought thy good? Wel, I wil saie no more, but for thee & thy complices I wil take order well inough to stay you|. Or otherwise by way of a fearful rehearsall thus: |What euill was there whereunto we were not subiect? But whie dwell I in circumstances? wee were the men allotted to that purpose.|=
=_Zeugma_, when one or more clauses are concluded vnder one verbe, as to saie, |His loosenesse ouercame all shame: his boldnesse, feare: his madnesse, reason:| where all these clauses are concluded vnder this one verbe, |Ouercame|. Or thus: |What auaileth it to shrine so much this vaine beauty, which either by long sicknesse, extremity of old age, infinite sorrowes and cares, or a thousand mishaps besides, is euery day in daunger or subiect to bee vtterlie crased:| In which all the clauses before going are concluded in this one verbe |is in danger, &c.|=
=_Syllepsis_, when one verbe supplieth two clauses, one person two roomes, or one word serueth to manie sences, as thus: |He runs for pleasure, I for feare|: where this verbe |run|, serueth to both purposes: also thus: |But scorning so to be reproued, and with a manly resolution by one stroke giuen, he acquited his shame, his credit, and his person|, where this one worde |acquite| serueth to all clauses aforegoing and following.=
=_Prolepsis_, where some thing generallie first spoken, is afterwards drawne into partes, as thus: |Let vs take vpon vs one selfe charge, I to direct abroad, you to order at home|. Or otherwise: |Men diuerslie do erre, some by an ignoraunt simplicitie, others by a most peruerse follie.|=
=_Pleonasmus_, where with words seeming superfluous, we do increase our reasons, as thus: |With these eares I heard him speake it: Or with mine eies I behelde him sorrowing|, where we well knowe that without eares or eies, we cannot wel heare or see, yet carieth this kind of spéech, |a vehemency in enforcing| the matter so plainelie, or throughlie to be hard or séene.=
