A12767	The art of logick deliuered in the precepts of Aristotle and Ramus. VVherein 1. The agreement of both authors is declared. 2. The defects in Ramus, are supplyed, and his superfluities pared off, by the precepts of Aristotle. 3. The precepts of both, are expounded and applyed to vse, by the assistance of the best schoolemen.

in_o every_o sentence_n have_v not_o the_o nature_n of_o a_o argument_n it_o be_v very_o likely_a that_o he_o think_v thus_o because_o this_o doctrine_n of_o aristotle_n have_v be_v ancient_o
