observe_v in_o complexed_a term_n be_v that_o there_o be_v two_o kind_n of_o addition_n of_o which_o the_o one_o may_v be_v call_v explicative_a and_o the_o other_o determinative_a the_o explicative_a in_o positive_a word_n explain_v that_o which_o before_o lay_v hide_v either_o in_o the_o comprehension_n of_o the_o idea_n of_o the_o first_o term_n or_o at_o lest_o which_o agree_v with_o it_o as_o a_o accident_n so_o that_o it_o agree_v with_o it_o general_o and_o according_a to_o its_o entire_a extension_n as_o when_o i_o say_v a_o man_n who_o be_v a_o creature_n endue_v with_o reason_n or_o a_o man_n who_o natural_o desire_v happiness_n or_o a_o man_n who_o be_v mortal_a for_o what_o be_v here_o add_v be_v only_o explicative_a not_o change_v any_o thing_n in_o the_o whole_a idea_n which_o be_v annex_v to_o the_o word_n man_n nor_o restrain_v it_o to_o signify_v only_o certain_a man_n but_o only_o it_o denote_v those_o thing_n more_o clear_o which_o be_v common_a to_o all_o mankind_n of_o this_o nature_n be_v those_o addition_n which_o be_v apply_v to_o name_n distinct_o denote_v individual_n as_o when_o we_o say_v london_n be_v the_o large_a city_n in_o europe_n julius_n caesar_n be_v the_o great_a captain_n in_o the_o world_n aristotle_n the_o prince_n of_o philosopher_n lewis_n the_o fourteen_o king_n of_o france_n for_o here_o the_o single_a term_n so_o pronounce_v lose_v nothing_o of_o their_o extension_n as_o be_v first_o determine_v as_o much_o as_o they_o can_v be_v determinative_a be_v that_o which_o be_v add_v restrain_v the_o signification_n of_o the_o general_n term_n so_o that_o it_o be_v not_o now_o accept_v in_o its_o full_a extension_n but_o comprehend_v only_o a_o part_n of_o it_o as_o transparent_a body_n wise_a man_n a_o rational_a creature_n these_o addition_n be_v not_o simple_o explicative_a but_o determinative_a because_o they_o maim_n and_o curtail_v the_o extension_n of_o the_o first_o term_n for_o the_o name_n of_o body_n here_o signify_v only_o a_o part_n of_o the_o body_n of_o man_n as_o a_o part_n of_o man_n of_o a_o creature_n as_o part_v of_o the_o creature_n but_o it_o be_v the_o nature_n of_o these_o addition_n sometime_o to_o create_v a_o singular_a out_o of_o a_o common_a term_n when_o they_o contain_v condition_n individuant_v as_o when_o i_o say_v the_o king_n now_o reign_v the_o common_a name_n of_o king_n be_v determine_v to_o the_o single_a and_o only_a person_n of_o james_n ii_o there_o be_v also_o two_o other_o kind_n of_o complexed_a term_n of_o which_o the_o first_o be_v complex_v in_o word_n the_o other_o in_o sense_n only_o of_o the_o first_o kind_n be_v those_o that_o have_v the_o addition_n express_v as_o in_o the_o example_n hitherto_o mention_v of_o the_o other_o kind_n be_v they_o in_o which_o one_o of_o the_o term_n be_v only_o pronounce_v the_o other_o understand_v as_o when_o we_o say_v the_o king_n this_o term_n be_v complex_v in_o sense_n because_o when_o we_o pronounce_v the_o word_n the_o idea_n of_o the_o common_a name_n do_v not_o present_v itself_o to_o our_o mind_n alone_o but_o as_o adjoin_v to_o it_o the_o idea_n of_o lewis_n 14._o who_o now_o reign_v in_o france_n the_o infinite_a number_n of_o term_n be_v mean_v of_o those_o which_o be_v thus_o complex_v occur_v in_o daily_a talk_n as_o in_o every_o family_n master_n imply_v such_o a_o one._n some_o term_n be_v also_o complex_v as_o well_o in_o word_n as_o sense_n but_o after_o various_a manner_n thus_o the_o prince_n of_o philosopher_n be_v complex_v in_o word_n because_o the_o name_n of_o prince_n be_v determine_v by_o the_o word_n philosopher_n but_o in_o respect_n of_o aristotle_n to_o who_o the_o schoolman_n be_v so_o addict_v to_o give_v that_o title_n it_o be_v complex_v in_o sense_n when_o the_o idea_n of_o aristotle_n be_v only_o obvious_a to_o the_o mind_n nor_o be_v express_v by_o any_o sound_n that_o denote_v the_o person_n all_o adjective_n or_o connotative_n be_v either_o part_n of_o connex_v term_n though_o they_o be_v clap_v together_o with_o their_o substance_n or_o complex_v in_o sense_n when_o the_o substantive_n be_v understand_v because_o as_o we_o have_v say_v in_o the_o second_o chapter_n these_o connotative_a name_n denote_v the_o subject_a direct_o indeed_o but_o more_o confuse_o the_o mode_n or_o form_n indirect_o but_o more_o distinct_o and_o therefore_o the_o idea_n of_o the_o subject_n be_v very_a general_n and_o very_o confuse_v represent_v sometime_o entity_n sometime_o a_o body_n which_o for_o the_o most_o part_n be_v determine_v by_o a_o distinct_a form_n of_o the_o idea_n thus_o white_a signify_v a_o thing_n that_o have_v whiteness_n and_o hence_o the_o confuse_a idea_n of_o the_o thing_n be_v determine_v to_o signify_v those_o thing_n only_o that_o be_v white_a however_o in_o this_o matter_n it_o be_v chief_o to_o be_v observe_v that_o there_o be_v some_o complexed_a term_n which_o although_o they_o be_v only_o determine_v to_o one_o only_a judividual_a nevertheless_o retain_v a_o equivocal_a universality_n which_o may_v be_v call_v a_o universality_n of_o error_n for_o when_o man_n agree_v that_o one_o only_a thing_n be_v signify_v by_o such_o a_o term_n but_o dispute_v what_o that_o only_a thing_n real_o be_v it_o happen_v that_o this_o term_n be_v apply_v by_o some_o to_o signify_v this_o thing_n by_o other_o another_o thing_n hence_o it_o be_v requisite_a that_o such_o a_o term_n be_v far_o determine_v either_o by_o the_o variety_n of_o circumstance_n or_o the_o series_n of_o discourse_n that_o the_o signification_n of_o the_o term_n may_v be_v make_v precise_o apparent_a thus_o true_a religion_n signify_v one_o sole_a religion_n which_o be_v real_o the_o church_n of_o england_n but_o because_o all_o people_n and_o every_o heresy_n think_v their_o own_o religion_n to_o be_v true_a these_o term_n be_v high_o equivocate_v by_o equivocation_n of_o error_n for_o if_o a_o historian_n shall_v write_v that_o his_o prince_n be_v most_o addict_v to_o the_o true_a religion_n it_o can_v be_v say_v what_o he_o mean_v unless_o it_o be_v know_v what_o religion_n the_o historian_n profess_v for_o if_o he_o be_v a_o church_n of_o england_n man_n it_o be_v understand_v of_o a_o church_n of_o england_n prince_n or_o of_o a_o mahometan_a if_o the_o historian_n be_v a_o arabian_a mahometan_a and_o so_o of_o a_o roman_a catholic_a prince_n if_o the_o author_n be_v a_o roman_n catholic_n complexed_a term_n wherein_o there_o be_v equivocation_n of_o error_n chief_o comprehend_v those_o quality_n of_o which_o the_o sense_n be_v no_o judge_n but_o the_o mind_n for_o man_n be_v prone_a to_o differ_v in_o their_o opinion_n concern_v such_o thing_n for_o example_n shall_v we_o affirm_v that_o no_o soldier_n be_v list_v by_o marius_n but_o such_o as_o be_v six_o foot_n high_a this_o complexed_a term_n soldier_n six_o foot_n high_a be_v not_o subject_a to_o equivocation_n of_o error_n when_o it_o be_v easy_a for_o soldier_n to_o be_v measure_v that_o we_o may_v know_v whether_o they_o be_v six_o foot_n high_a or_o no._n but_o have_v it_o be_v decree_v that_o none_o shall_v be_v list_v but_o such_o as_o be_v stout_a this_o term_n have_v be_v much_o more_o liable_a to_o equivocation_n when_o as_o it_o may_v be_v attribute_v to_o such_o soldier_n that_o look_v like_o stout_a man_n but_o be_v indeed_o but_o mere_a coward_n this_o equivocation_n of_o error_n be_v often_o find_v in_o complexed_a term_n the_o chief_a of_o the_o parisian_a geometrician_n the_o most_o learned_a the_o wicked_a the_o rich_a of_o men._n for_o though_o these_o term_n be_v divide_v by_o individuant_v condition_n see_v that_o one_o person_n may_v be_v the_o chief_a of_o the_o parisian_a geometrician_n nevertheless_o this_o term_n may_v be_v ascribe_v to_o several_a though_o proper_a only_a to_o one_o in_o regard_v it_o be_v a_o easy_a thing_n for_o man_n to_o vary_v in_o their_o judgement_n concern_v this_o matter_n so_o that_o every_o one_o shall_v give_v this_o title_n to_o he_o who_o he_o think_v to_o be_v the_o best_a and_o most_o excellent_a geometrician_n these_o form_n of_o speech_n also_o the_o sense_n of_o the_o author_n what_o the_o author_n declare_v upon_o this_o subject_a be_v of_o the_o number_n of_o these_o equivocate_v especial_o if_o the_o author_n be_v so_o obscure_a that_o there_o be_v any_o dispute_n about_o his_o sense_n and_o thus_o we_o find_v continual_a altercation_n concern_v aristotle_n opinion_n of_o philosopher_n while_o every_o one_o endeavour_n to_o draw_v he_o to_o their_o party_n for_o although_o aristotle_n have_v but_o one_o sense_n concern_v one_o thing_n yet_o because_o
