The defect opposite to Apprehensibility is Obscurity:
A passage wants apprehensibility, and or
is obscure, when it is difficult at
first to find out any meaning for it: at
the same time that there is no danger
of giving it any more than one.
The defect opposite to Precision is
Ambiguity.
A passage wants Precision, or ambiguous
, when one can find two meaning
for it, without being sure which is the
right one.<lb/>ATheadded text meaning of a passage may be a said to be wrong one: either
by conveying a proposition which howsoever <lb/>stand the of it,is not that which
the author meant to make had in his mind: or by
conveying a meaning which whether the
author had or had or it not in
mind is not true.
Ambiguity is either apparent patent or latent:
or in other words apparent or insidious.
AmbiguityPatent when the word or passage as such, that
of two meanings that appear equally together as belong
to it, a man cannot tell which
is the right one, latent or insidious when a man
has not the meaning which the author
meant to give it, but takes up with a
wrong.
A passage may be obscure and afterwards apparently
ambiguous: or it may be obscure, if
afterwards but insidiously ambiguous.
COMPOSIT. Stat. as a discourse. Apprehensibility + Obscu(BR)-rity. Precision + Ambiguity.
