be_v call_v the_o conclusion_n the_o other_o two_o premise_n for_o example_n this_o speech_n every_o man_n be_v a_o live_a creature_n every_o live_a creature_n be_v a_o body_n therefore_o every_o man_n be_v a_o body_n be_v a_o syllogism_n because_o the_o three_o proposition_n follow_v from_o the_o two_o first_o that_o be_v if_o those_o be_v grant_v to_o be_v true_a this_o must_v also_o be_v

in_o the_o premise_n of_o a_o syllogism_n there_o can_v be_v but_o three_o term_n beside_o there_o can_v be_v no_o term_n in_o the_o conclusion_n which_o be_v not_o in_o the_o premise_n for_o let_v

though_o it_o be_v true_a it_o can_v follow_v from_o the_o premise_n because_o from_o they_o it_o can_v be_v collect_v that_o the_o name_n two_o footed_a belong_v to_o a_o man_n and_o therefore_o again_o in_o every_o syllogism_n there_o can_v be_v but_o three_o term_n 3_o of_o these_o term_n that_o which_o be_v the_o predicate_a in_o the_o conclusion_n be_v common_o call_v the_o major_a that_o which_o be_v the_o subject_a in_o the_o conclusion_n the_o minor_a and_o the_o other_o be_v the_o middle_a term_n as_o in_o this_o syllogism_n a_o man_n be_v a_o live_a creature_n a_o live_a

the_o cause_n of_o light_n be_v propound_v to_o be_v seek_v out_o first_o we_o examine_v thing_n without_o we_o and_o find_v that_o whensoever_o light_n appear_v there_o be_v some_o principal_a

to_o the_o generation_n of_o light_n next_o we_o consider_v the_o medium_fw-la and_o find_v that_o unless_o it_o be_v dispose_v in_o a_o certain_a manner_n namely_o that_o it_o be_v transparent_a though_o the_o object_n remain_v the_o same_o yet_o the_o effect_n will_v not_o follow_v and_o therefore_o the_o concurrence_n of_o transparency_n be_v also_o necessary_a to_o the_o generation_n of_o

of_o the_o cause_n of_o light_n again_o of_o all_o the_o accident_n inhaerent_a in_o the_o object_n there_o be_v none_o that_o can_v conduce_v to_o the_o effect_n of_o light_n but_o only_a action_n
