Note 228 — INTRODUCCIÓN X (continued 4)

«Our Author is but short, yet pithy: not so full of words as sense; each other line, being a Sentence; unlike to many of your other Writers, who either with the luxury of their phrases or superfluity of figures, or superabundance of ornaments, or other affected guildings of Rhetorick, like indiscreet Cookes, make their meats either too sweet, or too tarte, too salt, or too full of pepper» (P. 4).
