that will avoyde this follie, and acquaint themselves with 
     the plainest and best kind of speech, must seek from time 
     to time for such words as are commonlie received, and 
     such as properly may expresse in plaine manner, the 
     whole conceit of their mind. (88)

     That we must “use altogether one manner of language” is 
a perfectly natural deduction from visual experience of the 
printed vernacular. And as Bacon showed, the reduction of 
talents and experience to a single level is the very crux of 
applied  knowledge. But it is quite destructive of “the criterion of 
decorum,” as Rosemond Tuve designates, in Elizabethan and  
Metaphysical Imagery , the principle that had informed the 
language arts continuously from the Greeks to the 
Renaissance.
