CHAPTER VI.

_Unlike_; a small changing of the name, as παρονομασια; a small changing of the end or case, as πολυπτωτον.

A small change of name is, when a word, by the change of one letter or syllable, the signification also is changed; as, Rom. v. 4: _Patience, experience; and experience, hope_. 2 Cor. x. 3: _We walk after the flesh, not war in the flesh_. 2 Cor. vi. 8-9: _So by honour and dishonour, as unknown and yet known_.

A small changing of the end or case, is when words of the same beginning rebound by divers ends: _Christ being raised from the dead, dieth no more, death hath no more power over him. He that doth righteousness, is righteous. If ye know that he is righteous, know ye that he that doeth righteously, is born of him._ And of both these there are many in the Scripture; but the translations cannot reach them.

Hitherto of the garnishing of the shape of speech, in _words_. Now followeth the garnishing of the shape of speech, in a _sentence_.
