A16218	The arte of logick Plainely taught in the English tongue, according to the best approued authors. Very necessary for all students in any profession, how to defend any argument against all subtill sophisters, and cauelling schismatikes, and how to confute their false syllogismes, and captious arguments.

in the predicament of quantitie yet it is called a substantiall diuision because the generall kinde here is diuided by his speciall difference into his proper speciall kindes What call you a partible diuision I call that a partible diuision which diuideth some whole thing into his par●…s which is called of the Latines partitio as if yee would diuide the Romane Common-wealth into Senators Knights and Commons You may also diuide a house into his principall parts as into the foundation walles and roofe thereof But the better to vnderstand this kinde of diuision it shall not be amisse to shew you here what kindes of whole and what kindes of parts there be for there is whole substantiall and whole integrall againe of parts some are called substantiall and some integrall and of parts integrall some are called similar or like and some dissimilar or vnlike againe of the dissimilar some are called principall and some not principall of all which things I minde here briefly to speake First I pray you tell what you meane by whole substantiall and whole integrall Whole substantiall is that which consisteth of substantiall parts cleauing wholly together and not seuerally distinct in number as whole man consisting of soule and body but whole integrall is that which consisteth of integrall parts which though they cleaue together yet they are distinct and seuerall in number as mans body consisting of head brest bellie legs c. How define you substantiall parts Substantiall parts are the first and chiefe parts whereof any thing is compounded of which parts if any bee wanting the whole must needs perish and loseth his name as the matter and forme of any compound thing be it naturall or artificiall as the body and soule are the first and chiefe parts of man the metall and fashion of a siluer cup are the first and chiefe parts of the cup whereof neither can be wanting for the soule without the bodie is a spirit and not man and the body without the soule is but a dead carcase againe the cup without matter or shape is no cup at all Which be called integrall parts Certaine secondarie parts which being all gathered together do make the whole perfect as the head brest bellie armes hands thighes legges and feet are the integrall parts of mans bodie and of these integrall parts some are called similar and some dissimilar that is to say like and vnlike Which are similar and which dissimilar Similar or like are these that be of one kinde and of one selfe name and being diuided into parts euery such part be it neuer so small beareth also the name of the whole as flesh bone sinew skin and such like for euery little part of the flesh is called flesh and euery part of bone is called bone and so of all the rest Hitherto also may be referred water fire gold iron or any other simple metall wine wood stone and such like for euery drop of water is called water and so of the rest Which call you dissimilar or vnlike Those parts that differ both in kinde and name as the head brest bellie armes and legges are the parts dissimilar of a mans body likewise a house a ship and many other things haue also such parts of any one of which parts the whole cannot be spoken for you cannot say Because here is the head of a man Ergo here is a man Againe of these dissimilar parts some are called principall whereof if any be wanting the whole must needs perish as without the head bellie heart liuer or guts mans body cannot be The not principall are those parts without the which the body may be for though those parts be wanting yet the body is counted a whole thing though not perfect in euery point as without arm●…s hands legges or feet the body may liue that building also that hath a foundation walles and roofe is counted to be a whole house though it hath neither doores nor windowes yet not perfect in euery respect Wherein doth partition and diuision differ In diuers points for in diuision any generall kinde may bee rightly spoken of euery speciall kinde contained vnder the same as this word sensible body which is spoken both of man and beast But in partition the whole cannot be spoken of euery part for you cannot say that the soule or body of man is whole man nor that the head or foot is his whole body Againe diuision diuideth vniuersall things into their particulars and partition diuideth particulars into their parts and most commonly followeth diuision helping to make subdiuisions as for example when diuision hath diuided a sensible body into man and beast then followeth partition and diuideth man into soule and body and the body into his integrall parts as head brest bellie legs and such like How manifold is diuision accident all Threefold for by that wee either diuide some subiect into his accidents or some accident into his subiect or some accident into his accidents Giue examples of all these three waies Of the first let this be your example Of men some be free and some be bond some be vertuous and some be vicious and after this sort you may diuide the predicament of substance into as many accidents as you will running thorowout all the nine predicaments of accidents Of the second way thus Of goods some are said to be of the minde some of the body and some of fortune Of the third thus Of good things some are said to bee honest some profitable and some pleasant or del●…ctable which kinde of diuision is much vsed of the Orators To this also may be referred the common order of diuiding any speech or oration into his parts which the Orators call partition or distribution whereby is set downe in what order euery thing shall be vttered and declared which first and which last and so forth CHAP. IIII. Of the precepts to be obserued in Diuision HOw many precepts are to be obserued in making a true diuision Three First that the generall kinde be diuided into his next speciall kindes by such speciall differences as are meerely repugnant one to another and doe comprehend the whole nature of the thing diuided as thus Of sensible bodies some be reasonable and some be vnreasonable for it were no good diuision to say of sensible bodies one is reasonable another is two-footed What is the second precept That the parts being ioined together may bee equall to the whole and may comprehend neither more nor lesse then the thing which is diuided as reasonable soule and carnall bodie being the chiefe parts of man doe comprehend neither more nor lesse then whole man What is the third precept That no part or speciall kinde be vsed as a generall kinde nor the generall kinde as a part or speciall kinde as in this diuision which Cicero reproueth I will shew that through the concupiscence boldnesse and couetousnesse of our aduer●…aries all mischiefes haue chanced to the Common-wealth here couetousnesse
