Note 337 — LECTURE XVII, XVIII. Of Satire.

I don't see how nihilo inornata would make more for Vossius's Sense. But do not Horace's Words imply, that a Writer of Satires should Chiefly use common Words, tho' he allows he is not always oblig'd to use no other? A common Style is the general Rule, tho' there may be some Exceptions to it.
