Lat. etiam ea que impolluta et in statu suo manserunt. [25] the state : the 
article was not unfrequently employed where we should now use a 
possessive pronoun. See Glossary. 
P. 28. [6] The Latin adds, guando nimirum aut in rebus inanibus opera 
insumitur, aut circa verborum delicias nimium insudatur. [10] Lat. 
doctrina fucata et mollis. [12-31] The whole of this passage is much 
abridged in the Latin, apparently to avoid offending the Roman 
Catholics. See p. 21, ll. 16-21, note. In the De Augmentis the 
following is substituted : Intemperies ista, in luxurie guadam orationis sita 
(licet olim per vices in pretio habita fuerit), circa Lutheri tempora miris modis 
invaluit. In causa precipue fuit, quod fervor et efficacia concionum tune 
temporis ad populum demulcendum et alliciendum maxime vigebat ; illa autem 
populare genus orationis poscebant. Accedebat odium et contemptus illis 
temporibus ortus erga scholasticos, &c.

Osorius, bishop of Sylves in Algarve, died 1580; wrote De Rebus 
Gestis Emanuelis,.1574. On his redundant style see Ascham, The 
Scholemaster, pp. 110, 129-131, ed. Mayor. [24] Sturmius: Joannes 
Sturmius, born at Sleida, October 1, 1507, died March 3, 1589, was 
called the German Cicero. He was professor at Paris and Strasburg, 
and wrote In Partitiones Oratorias Ciceronis Dialogi Quatuor, Scholia 
in Hermogenem, De Imitatione Oratoria Libri Tres, and De Periodis 
Liber, to all of which Bacon refers, besides many other works. [27] 
Car of Cambridge: Nicholas Carr (1523-1568) succeeded Sir John 
Cheke as Regius Professor of Greek in 1547. He obtained a great 
reputation by his translations into Latin of the Olynthiacs and Philip- 
pics of Demosthenes, Plato’s Dialogue on the Laws, and the Oration of 
ZEschines against Ctesiphon. Besides. these he wrote prefaces to the 
Symposium and other dialogues of Plato, as well as to ZEschines, 
Theocritus, Sophocles, and some orations of Demosthenes. [28] Ascham: 
Roger Ascham (1515-1568), in his Scholemaster, is constantly sounding 
the praises of Cicero, whom he calls his master. [32] Erasmus, Colloq.

P. 31. [5] In the De Augmentis another kind of style is mentioned as 
somewhat more healthy than the last-mentioned, though not altogether 
free from vanity. The whole object of this is that the words should be
