To Write signifies to publish, or notify, because this is the first intention of writing; and at first no writings were made but upon pillars or other monuments merely to notify things. Thus when God saith, in Isa 65:6, “Behold it is written before me,” it immediately follows as synonymous, “I will not keep silence.” And in Jeremiah Jer 22:30, it is said, “Write this man childless,” i.e. publish, and let all men know that this man shall be childless. And hence, because writing is publishing, therefore an author not read, is with Martial one that hath not written,<\/p>\n
“Versiculos in me narratur scribere Cinna; <\/p>\n
Non scribit, cujus carmina nemo legit.”f1<\/p>\n
By the notification of things the effect intended is brought about; and in this sense to write is to effect.<\/p>\n
F1 Martial. L. iii. Epigr. 9.<\/p>\n
