And now lastly will be the time to read with them those organic arts which enable men to discourse and write perspicuously, elegantly, and according to the fittest style, of lofty, [6] mean, or lowly. Logic therefore so much as is useful, is to be referr'd to this due place with all her well coucht heads and Topics, until it be time to open her contracted palm into a gracefull and ornate Rhetorick taught out of the rule of Plato, Aristotle, Phalereus, Cicero, Hermogenes, Longinus. To which Poetry would be made subsequent, or indeed rather precedent, as being less subtile and fine, but more simple, sensuous, and passionate. I mean not here the prosody of a verse, which they could not but have hit on before amon; the rudiments of grammar; but that sublime art which in Aristotles Poetics, in Horace, and the Italian commentaries of Castelvetro, Tasso, Mazzoni, and others, teaches what the laws are of a true Epic poem, what of a Dramatic, what of a Lyric, what decorum is, which is the grand master peece to observe. This would make them soon perceive what despicable creatures our common rimers and play writers be, and shew them what Religious, what glorious and magnificent use might be made of Poetry, both in divine and human things.
