[Sidenote:  Sinonimia, or the Figure of store]
When so euer we multiply our speech by many words or clauses of one sence, the Greekes call it Sinonimia, as who would say like or consenting names:  the Latines hauing no fitte terme to giue him, called it by a name of euent, for (said they) many words of one nature and sence, one of them doth expound another.  And therefore they called this figure the [Interpreter] I for my part had rather call him the figure of [store] because plenty of one manner of thing in our vulgar we call so. AEneas asking whether his Captaine Orontes were dead or aliue, vsed this store of speeches all to one purpose.
  It he aliue,
  Is he as I left him queauing and quick,
  And hath he not yet geuen up the ghost,
  Among the rest of those that I haue lost?

Or if it be in single words, then thus.
  What is become of that beautifull face,
  Those louely lookes, that fauour amiable,
  Those sweete features, and visage full of grace,
  That countenance which is alonly able
  To kill and cure?

Ye see that all these words, face, lookes, fauour, features, visage,
countenance, are all in sence but all one.  Which store, neuerthelesse,
doeth much beautifie and inlarge the matter.  So said another.
  My faith, my hope, my trust, my God and eke my guide,
  Stretch forth thy hand to saue the soule, what ere the body bide.

Here faith, hope and trust be words of one effect, allowed to vs by this figure of store.

[Sidenote:  Metanoia, or the Penitent.] Otherwhiles we speake and be sorry for it, as if we had not wel spoken, so that we seeme to call in our word againe, and to put in another fitter for the purpose:  for which respects the Greekes called this manner of speech the figure of repentance:  then for that vpon repentance commonly followes amendment, the Latins called it the figure of correction, in that the speaker seemeth to reforme that which was said amisse.  I following the Greeke originall, choose to call him the penitent, or repentant:  and singing in honor of the mayden Queen, meaning to praise her for her greatnesse of courage ouershooting my selfe, called it first by the name of pride:  then fearing least fault might be found with that terme, by & by turned this word pride to praise:  resembling her Maiesty to the Lion, being her owne noble armory, which by a slie construction purporteth magnanimitie.  Thus in the latter end of a Parthemiade.
  O peereles you, or els no one aliue,
  Your pride serues you to seaze them all alone: 
  Not pride madame, but praise of the lion,
  To conquer all and be conquerd by none.

And in another Parthemiade thus insinuating her Maiesties great constancy
in refusall of all marriages offred her, thus: 
  Her heart is hid none may it see,
  Marble or flinte folke weene it be.
