sheweth a deuision howe manye things are comprehended in the same and it is also foure wayes to be considered that is the deuision of a worde as tyme signifieth an hearbe and also this instant the deuision of the Generall into his Speciall as a liuing creature is deuided into a man a Lion an Asse c. The diuisiō of the whole into his partes as a bodie into an heade breast bellie féete and handes the deuision of the substance into his Accidents as Cicero was a Philosophier an Orator and an Astronomer After that we haue so shewed what Logique is what y e common words and the most generall are what a definition and what a deuision is we wyll briefly speake of the knitting of wordes togither in a Proposition A Proposition is a perfect sentence shewing a reason true or false as Man is a liuing creature And euerye Proposition doth consist of two partes the one whereof somewhat is spoken the other which is spoken of any thing as in this sentence Man is a liuing creature a liuing creature is spoken of man so that man is that wherof it is spoken Euerye perfect sentence is two wayes deuyded eyther it is single as modestie is a vertue or else it is double as if modestye be a vertue it is praise worthy Againe a Proposition is eyther true or false true as all men are mortall false as no men are mortall Also it is either affirmatiue or negatiue as vertue is good vertue is not good it is further eyther vniuersal as all men are honest or perticular as some men are honest or indefinite as vertue is the chiefe good thing or singular as Cicero is a perfect Orator The vniuersall proposition hath generall signes as these all none c. The perticular hath perticular signes as some one the most part oftentimes The indefinite hath no signe And the singular hath to the one part a nowne proper The vse of a proposition or perfect sentence is briefly to comprehend and to couch togither in one sentence the full summe of a long and large discourse as in the second booke of the Aeneides of Uirgill Troye was destroyed by the Graecians The repugnancie of propsitions is the diuersitie of two perfect sentences consisting of two and the selfe same partes And of these repugnant propositions there be foure the one altogither contrarie as all men are liers no men are liers the other perticuler contrarie as some men are liers some men are no liers the thirde contradictorie as all men are liers some men are no liers the fourth so to speake it is subalterne as all vertues are to be praised some vertue is to be praysed All men are good Altogither contrarie No men are good Subalterne Contradictorie Contradictorie Subalterne Some men are good Perticular contrarie Some men are not good The diuersitie of these perfect sentences is most necessarie to discerne the truth from that which is false for as blacke and white being ioyned togither the difference is soone espied so if you ioyne two dissonant proposicions you shall easilye discerne the true and finde out the false Then followeth the turning of propositions which serueth for the euident opening of them for the making of short argumentes and for the reducing of the seconde and thirde figure into the first The turning of a proposition is when the first parte and latter of the same are turned the one into the others roume as some priestes are good men some good men are priestes A plaine turning of a proposition is when the parts of the same do supplie thone the others place the same signes alwayes vnchaunged as no good man is an vsurer no vsurer is a good man An accidentall turning is when y e same signes doe not remaine and by this are the perticulers gathered of the vniuersals as all men are liuing creatures some liuing creatures are men Hitherto hauing briefly set forth al single wordes and their nature we will nowe shewe how to frame an Argument An argument is the proouing of a perfect sentence set forth whereof before it was or might be doubted An argument is deuided foure wayes into a perfect argument an vnperfect an induction and an example A perfect argument consisteth of thrée propositions whereof the first is called the proposition at large the seconde is named the lesse and the thirde is termed the conclusion as for example Euerie vertue is to be praysed Modestie is a vertue Therefore modestie is to be praysed And here you must well note one worde called the double repeate conteyned in the two first propositions which in y e aforesayd argument is this word vertue for it knitteth togither the two first propositions prouing the thing and neuer entreth into the conclusion As for rules concerning a perfect argument to be obserued to one marking well though onelye his figures and moodse they are not so néedefull The figures appertaining vnto a perfect argument are three the first the seconde the thirde The first figure is when the double repeate is placed in the former part of the first proposition and in the latter of the seconde And vnto this first figure there doeth belong foure moodes which be nothing else than words inuented that only by the vowels of the same the qualitie and quantitie of the proposition maye be knowne that is whether it be vniuersall affirmatiue or vniuersall negatiue perticuler affirmatiue or perticular negatiue the moodes or the wordes are these Barbara Celarent Darij Ferio the vowels whereof are thus to be considered A signifieth A proposition vniuersal affirmatiue E signifieth An vniuersall negatiue I signifieth A particular affirmatiue O signifieth A particular negatiue These things thus being well marked you may by euerie one of the saide foure moodes frame an argument which euermore must be made from the general bnto the special as thus Bar All liuing creatures are of Gods creation ba All men are liuing creatures ra Therfore all men are of Goddes creation Ce No iustice is a vice la All pietie is iustice rent Therfore no pietie is a vice Da All filthinesse is to be auoyded ri Some pleasure is a filthinesse j. Therfore some pleasure is to be auoyded Fe No Arte is to be contemned ri Logique is an Arte o Therefore Logique is not to be contemned The second figure hath the double repeat in the last rehersed parte of both propositions and it hath also foure moodes which be these Cesare Camestres Festino Baroco the vowels wherof as before are most to be considered Ce No good men doe robbe their neighbours sa All theeues doe rob their neighbours re Therefore no theeues are good men Ca All drunkardes doe hate good diet mes No good men doe hate good diet tres Therfore no good men are drunkards Fes No wisemen doe boast themselues ▪ ti Thraso doth boast himselfe
Christians shoulde not trust ouermuch vnto authorities vnto the writings I meane and coniectures of man it is modestie to be allowed and prudencie to be praysed if we so reade them as S. Aug. did the writings of S. Cyprian that is Quod in eis diuinarum scripturarum authoritati congruit cum laude eius accipio quod autem non congruit cum pace eius respuo that which agreeth in the same with the authority of diuine scriptures to his prayse I receiue but which agreeth not that with his fauour I forsake leaue Where let none thinke that I contemne authorities but only wishe Sine ratione vt non valeret authoritas that authoritie without reason or scripture should not take place and preuaile For to saye the troth some receyued of many as authorities be so fonde vt aures à cōmemoratione abhorreant Peter saith some denied Christ that he might follow him and not for feare O follie ô madnesse the scripture is plaine A farre off followed Peter he feared yea he was greatly afrayde Some also affirme that S.
