Enormis, from e, and norma, which Vossius calls an instrument by which it is distinguished, whether angles are right angles or not. And which Scaliger (de Causs. c. 26.) derives from Gr. Tvwpiua, notum, by throwing out the i: and this from yvwpiew, to make known, to ascertain. Glanvill also writes inormous.

Out of rule, measurement, or proportion; disordered, immoderate, huge, excessive, heinous.

But here thei say that in healing these euills and enormities we do more hurte than good as to make tumultes, sedicions and cause the people to rebell ayenste the magistratis and the ordinarie powrs.-Joye. Expos. of Dan. c. 12.

If our souls came immediately out of the hands of God when we came first into these bodies, whence then are those enormously brutish inclinations, that strong natural proclivity to vice and impiety that are extant in the children of men?-Glanvill. Pre-existence of Souls, c. 2.

When those who have no opportunity to examine our faith, see the enormousness of our works, what should hinder them from measuring the master by the disciple. Decay of Piety. And whenever it comes to fare thus with any civil state, virtue and common honesty seem to make their appeal to the supreme governor of all things, to take the matter into his own hands, and to correct those clamorous enormities, which are grown too big and strong for law or shame, or any human coertion.-South, vol. iv. Ser. 3.

Yet not in vain th' enormous weight was cast,
Which Crantor's body sunder'd at the waist.
