of_o the_o two_o contrary_n for_o if_o blackness_n be_v visible_a it_o follow_v not_o that_o whiteness_n be_v invisible_a because_o to_o be_v visible_a belong_v to_o the_o genus_fw-la of_o whiteness_n and_o blackness_n namely_o to_o colour_v we_o must_v also_o except_v such_o cause_n as_o do_v act_n by_o accident_n as_o if_o a_o white_a man_n build_v his_o own_o house_n it_o follow_v not_o that_o a_o black_a man_n must_v pull_v down_o he_o and_o if_o heat_n do_v harden_v the_o ground_n it_o follow_v not_o that_o frost_n must_v soften_v it_o 4._o the_o self_n same_o cause_n may_v bring_v forth_o certain_a effect_n when_o the_o action_n of_o the_o cause_n depend_v from_o the_o disposition_n of_o the_o matter_n against_o which_o it_o act_v so_o the_o sun_n give_v a_o sweet_a smell_n

other_o must_v be_v grant_v except_o they_o be_v such_o contrary_n as_o have_v no_o mean_a between_o they_o as_o if_o the_o body_n be_v not_o white_a it_o follow_v not_o that_o it_o be_v black_a but_o in_o contrary_n that_o be_v without_o mean_a this_o consequent_a i●_n good_a as_o if_o this_o line_n be_v not_o straight_o it_o be_v crooked_a 7._o of_o two_o good_a thing_n whereof_o the_o one_o be_v

great_a good_a than_o health_n vice_n must_v be_v a_o great_a evil_n than_o sickness_n except_o when_o one_o of_o the_o two_o good_a thing_n be_v comprise_v in_o the_o other_o as_o to_o have_v the_o skill_n of_o read_v and_o the_o skill_n of_o philosophy_n for_o though_o the_o skill_n of_o philosophy_n ●e_v a_o great_a good_a than_o the_o skill_n of_o read_v yet_o it_o follow_v not_o that_o not_o to_o be_v skilful_a in_o philosophy_n be_v a_o great_a evil_n than_o not_o to_o be_v skilful_a in_o read_v because_o the_o skill_n of_o read_v be_v comprehend_v under_o the_o skill_n of_o philosophy_n 8._o contradictory_n can_v stand_v together_o and_o one_o of_o they_o must_v of_o necessity_n be_v as_o there_o be_v nothing_o that_o be_v not_o either_o man_n or_o not_o man_n and_o it_o be_v impossible_a to_o be_v both_o the_o one_o and_o the_o other_o at_o the_o same_o time_n the_o fifteen_o chapter_n comparison_n of_o thing_n thing_n be_v oft_o compare_v according_a to_o their_o

than_o that_o which_o be_v desire_v only_o in_o regard_n of_o some_o other_o thing_n as_o life_n be_v better_a than_o money_n and_o sight_n be_v more_o to_o be_v desire_v then_o spectacle_n and_o health_n than_o physic_n 2._o that_o which_o be_v good_a to_o all_o be_v better_a than_o that_o which_o be_v only_o good_a to_o some_o and_o which_o be_v use_v but_o seldom_o and_o for_o certain_a respect_n thus_o light_n be_v better_a than_o darkness_n and_o to_o have_v two_o arm_n be_v better_a than_o to_o be_v maim_v for_o darkness_n be_v of_o use_n only_o for_o thief_n and_o debauch_a person_n and_o to_o have_v but_o one_o arm_n be_v of_o use_n only_o to_o beggar_n who_o thereby_o set_v forth_o their_o misery_n 3._o that_o which_o be_v good_a of_o it_o own_o nature_n be_v better_a than_o that_o which_o be_v good_a only_a by_o accident_n or_o which_o be_v of_o use_n only_o to_o avoid_v a_o great_a evil_n thus_o health_n be_v better_a than_o physic_n and_o to_o have_v our_o ware_n in_o our_o ship_n be_v better_a than_o to_o cast_v they_o into_o the_o sea_n and_o prudence_n be_v better_a than_o chance_n 4._o one_o good_a which_o when_o we_o have_v we_o need_v not_o the_o other_o be_v better_a than_o that_o which_o when_o we_o have_v we_o have_v yet_o need_v of_o the_o other_o thus_o to_o be_v love_v of_o god_n be_v better_a than_o to_o be_v love_v of_o man_n and_o to_o have_v the_o perfect_a knowledge_n of_o a_o art_n be_v better_a than_o to_o have_v it_o write_v in_o a_o book_n 5._o of_o final_a cause_n the_o last_o be_v ever_o the_o best_a thus_o happiness_n be_v better_a than_o virtue_n and_o the_o skill_n of_o manage_v a_o horse_n be_v better_a than_o the_o skill_n to_o make_v a_o spur_n 6._o permanent_a good_n be_v better_a than_o the_o transitory_a as_o virtue_n be_v better_a than_o money_n but_o in_o general_a without_o any_o respect_n to_o the_o goodness_n or_o excellency_n of_o thing_n they_o may_v be_v compare_v by_o these_o maxim_n follow_v 1._o maxim_n other_o maxim_n that_o which_o be_v such_o of_o it_o own_o nature_n be_v more_o such_o than_o that_o which_o be_v only_o such_o by_o participation_n thus_o the_o sun_n be_v clear_a than_o a_o look_a glass_n when_o the_o sun_n shine_v on_o it_o 2._o that_o which_o be_v such_o of_o itself_o be_v more_o such_o than_o that_o which_o be_v such_o only_a by_o accident_n as_o exercise_n and_o good_a nourishment_n be_v more_o healthful_a than_o the_o cut_n off_o of_o a_o arm_n and_o the_o death_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n have_v be_v more_o beneficial_a to_o salvation_n than_o the_o treason_n of_o judas_n howsoever_o god_n use_v it_o as_o a_o mean_n for_o our_o good_a 3._o that_o which_o be_v most_o remote_a from_o his_o contrary_n be_v more_o such_o than_o that_o which_o be_v less_o remote_a and_o therefore_o the_o cold_a in_o norway_n be_v great_a than_o that_o in_o italy_n because_o it_o be_v more_o remote_a from_o the_o south_n from_o whence_o the_o heat_n come_v 4._o that_o which_o act_v more_o forcible_o be_v common_o more_o such_o then_o that_o which_o act_v more_o weak_o as_o that_o which_o hurt_v more_o be_v worse_a than_o that_o which_o hurt_v less_o and_o that_o which_o prick_v more_o be_v sharp_a point_v then_o that_o which_o prick_v less_o this_o rule_n have_v exception_n aire_n and_o water_n be_v equal_o moist_a nay_o aristotle_n hold_v the_o air_n to_o be_v moist_a yet_o water_n moisten_v more_o than_o air_n so_o the_o flame_n be_v hot_a or_o rather_o hot_a than_o the_o hot_a iron_n and_o yet_o a_o hot_a iron_n burn_v more_o than_o the_o flame_n do_v the_o sixteenth_o chapter_n comparison_n of_o probability_n or_o likelihood_n thing_n be_v compare_v in_o probability_n when_o we_o question_v whether_o of_o the_o two_o be_v the_o more_o credible_a and_o this_o be_v do_v when_o to_o prove_v some_o one_o thing_n we_o bring_v in_o another_o equal_o or_o more_o or_o less_o probable_a then_o that_o which_o be_v in_o question_n this_o comparison_n may_v be_v make_v three_o manner_n of_o way_n alike_o 1._o probable_a alike_o for_o first_o when_o we_o will_v prove_v a_o thing_n in_o question_n we_o may_v bring_v in_o another_o thing_n as_o probable_a as_o it_o for_o example_n if_o a_o prince_n have_v grant_v something_o to_o one_o citizen_n another_o citizen_n may_v pretend_v that_o the_o like_a grant_n ought_v to_o be_v make_v unto_o he_o also_o because_o he_o be_v a_o citizen_n as_o well_o as_o the_o other_o and_o nothing_o inferior_a to_o he_o so_o a_o fault_n which_o be_v pardon_v to_o some_o one_o in_o regard_n of_o his_o youth_n must_v be_v pardon_v to_o another_o as_o young_a as_o he_o this_o reason_n be_v ground_v upon_o this_o maxim_n maxim_n maxim_n of_o two_o thing_n equal_o probable_a or_o equal_o just_a the_o one_o be_v grant_v make_v the_o other_o to_o be_v easy_o believe_v probable_a 2._o more_o probable_a second_o to_o prove_v a_o thing_n in_o question_n we_o may_v bring_v another_o thing_n more_o probable_a than_o it_o argue_v thus_o if_o that_o which_o be_v more_o probable_a be_v not_o much_o less_o shall_v that_o be_v which_o be_v less_o probable_a for_o example_n if_o a_o father_n will_v not_o have_v his_o child_n go_v rich_o apparel_v much_o less_o will_v he_o suffer_v it_o in_o his_o servant_n and_o if_o the_o apostle_n be_v not_o without_o sin_n how_o much_o less_o be_v we_o this_o be_v call_v argue_v from_o a_o more_o probable_a to_o a_o less_o and_o ground_v upon_o this_o maxim_n maxim_n maxim_n if_o that_o which_o be_v more_o possible_a

and_o more_o probable_a be_v not_o much_o less_o shall_v that_o be_v which_o be_v less_o probable_a and_o possible_a the_o conclusion_n of_o such_o argument_n must_v always_o be_v negative_a last_o probable_a 3._o less_o probable_a we_o may_v prove_v a_o thing_n in_o question_n by_o bring_v in_o another_o thing_n that_o be_v less_o probable_a say_v thus_o if_o a_o thing_n less_o probable_a and_o hard_a to_o be_v believe_v be_v notwithstanding_o or_o have_v be_v much_o more_o ought_v we_o to_o believe_v that_o which_o be_v more_o probable_a and_o easy_a to_o be_v do_v so_o if_o one_o at_o twelve_o year_n of_o age_n can_v carry_v a_o weight_n of_o a_o hundred_o pound_n by_o a_o strong_a reason_n one_o may_v carry_v the_o same_o weight_n at_o the_o age_n of_o twenty_o year_n and_o if_o

probable_a to_o the_o great_a ground_v upon_o this_o maxim_n maxim_n maxim_n if_o that_o which_o be_v less_o probable_a and_o less_o possible_a may_v be_v much_o more_o shall_v that_o be_v which_o be_v more_o probable_a and_o more_o possible_a the_o conclusion_n of_o such_o argument_n must_v always_o be_v affirmative_a we_o must_v wary_o distinguish_v between_o the_o greatness_n of_o the_o
