no. Therefore Thraso is not wise Ba Al good mē are thākful to their benefactors ro Nero was vnthankefull to his benefactor co Therefore Nero was no good man The third figure hath the double repeate in the former part of both propositions and there be sixe moodes appertayning vnto the same Darapti Felapton Disamis Datisi Bocardo Ferison the vowels lykewise wherof are as afore specially to be considered Da All drunkardes are to be punished rap All drunkardes are excessiue drinkers ti therfore excessiue drinkers are to be punished Fe No lawfull matrimonie is to be rebuked lap All lawfull matrimonie haue dissentions ton therfore some dissētiōs are not to be rebuked Di Some learned men be heretiques sa All learned men haue knowledge mis. therfore some hauing knowlege are heretiks Da All knowledge is necessary vnto a Diuine ti Some knowledge is Philosophie si Philosophie is necessarie vnto a Diuine Bo Some man is no drunkarde car Euerie man is a liuing creature do therfore some liuing creature is no drūkard Fe No man is an asse ri Some man is a liuing creature son Therfore some liuing creature is no asse Here I haue shewed the thrée figures what they are and their examples and yet sufficient it is that we vse the first and the second for the thirde as in that Melancthon and others doe verie well write you may refuse There is further an other argument vnto this thirde figure referred in the which the double repeate in the first part of both propositions is a nowne proper as Dauid in possessing his owne did not offend Dauid was a christian Therefore a christian in possessing hys owne doth not offend An vnperfect argument is where one proposition is omitted and that eyther for breuitie or else for that the part omitted is otherwyse vndoubtedlye knowne well ynough as ▪ Drunkennesse is an euill thing Therfore it is to be auoyded Wherevnto if you adde the Proposition at large which is wanting that is euerye euill thing is to be auoyded then your argument shall bée perfect in the moode Darij of the first figure This vnperfect argument consisteth partly of likelyhoodes and partly of infallible reasons therefore it must be foreséene that lykelyhoodes bée not taken for necessarie reasons An Induction is when we make an vniuersall conclusion vpon a sufficient number of proper names as thus Red Wyne maketh one warme Hippocras maketh one warme Spanishe Wyne maketh one warme French Wyne maketh one warme ▪ Tyre maketh one warme Neyther is there any vnlyke example Therfore al wynes maketh one warme An Example is the applying of a lyke thing or reason from one person to an other as Thy father against King Priamus was not so cruell Therefore you ought not agaynst thys man to be so cruell Here vnto are referred the Fables of Poets Prouerbs and Parables There is an other kinde of reasoning called a heaped argument which is when the laste worde of the one proposition is and that throughout the argument repeated in the first part of the second and that also when voyces necessarily agréeing thervnto that is when the generall speciall causes and effect are ioyned togither as Idlenesse bréedeth riotousnesse Riotousnesse bréedeth pouertie Pouertie bréedeth theft Therefore idlenesse bréedeth theft Now it remayneth where as I shewed before that of perfect Sentences some bée single and some double and hauing spoken as briefely so sufficiently of the single that we speake somewhat of a double proposition and that before I doe set forth the places whence all arguments doe spring A double proposition consisteth of two single knit togither with some coniunction eyther conditionall as if iustice be a vertue it is praise worthy or Disiunctiue as eyther it is day or else it is night or else Copulatiue as loue being vnlawfull is not to be praised A conditionall proposition is euermore true when the partes are so knit together that the latter must néedes follow vpon the first A disiunctiue is then true when one of the partes is true A copulatiue is onely then true when both the partes are true Of the seconde part of Logique which is of the finding out of an Argument A Place is the seat or resting corner of an Argument and whence we are warned how to grounde or talke and to laye the foundation of our reason of which places some are appertayning vnto persons and some vnto thinges but vnto the persons doe belong these which followe and from thence we thus doe reason as from The Countrie He is a Grecian therefore light inconstant and disceitfull The kinde Shée is a Woman therefore vnapt for warres The Parents He is king Henry the eights sonne therfore valyant The Age He is old therfore to be asked counsell of Bringing vp He was Lucius Scholler therefore an Heretique Art or trade of lyfe He is a shoemaker therefore no louer of liberall Sciences Fellowship He liued alwayes with drunkards therfore what maruell if he be a drunkard Maner of doing I did it not through anger enuy rashenesse but being thought vpon of a long time considered therfore it was well done and perfect Maner of dying Enoch and Elias were taken a lyue vp into Heauen therefore they are become blessed Signes Shée is brought to bed therfore no maid Antecedent He sought a good whyle a gone to robbe me therefore it is possible that he robbed mée now Consequent He fled therefore it is probable that he committed this offence The places of things are all suche as be not of the persons and from them we reason thus as from Definition Fortitude is a vertue fighting in the quarrel of right therfore it is praise worthy Generall He is no lyuing creature therfore no mā Speciall He is a man therfore a lyuing creature Difference He is endued with reason therfore a mā Propertie He barketh therefore he is a Dogge Hole It is a house therfore walles a roufe c. Yoked wordes He doth wisely therfore he is a wise mā Efficient cause God hath ordeyned the Magistrate therfore we ought to obey hym Matter He wanteth cloath therfore he can haue no coate Fourme This Table is well preporcioned therefore it had a good workeman Ende Publique Schooles doe cause men to be ciuill therefore they are to be erected Effect or euent They of India do heare the word of God therfore they are of God Relation He is Constancius father therefore not his sonne Contrary The water is hoate therfore not colde Priuation It is darke therefore not light Contradictorie Iohn wryteth therfore that Iohn should now not write it is impossible Greater Hector could not ouercome Achilles therfore Paris might lesse doe it Lesser It is lawfull vpon the Sabbaoth daye to saue an Oxe therefore it is more lawfull to saue a man Now it remayneth that we speake somewhat of the discerning and vnderstanding of vntrue arguments which two wayes are speciallye considered for eyther is
