3 Simply good is better than that which is good for some As marriage is better than single life Study of learning better than Merchandize 4 That is more excellent which is in the more worthy and honourable thing As a Monarchy is the best Regiment For God is a Monarch It is better to give than to receive For God giveth onely 5 The end is better than the means unto the end As better is health than the use of Physick better is peace than Triumph 6 That which is possible is better than that which is impossible 7 That is better which of it self is more fair and honourable 8 That which is after is oftentimes better than the former to wit if other things be like c. As the later thoughts are better than the former 9 Many good things are to be preserred before few 10 That which effecteth many good things is better than that which doth but few So a Publike person is better than a Private 11 That which is joyned with pleasure is better than that which wanteth pleasure 12 At what time a thing is more necessary at that time it is more to be chosen So comfort is better in sorrow than in prosperity 13 That which is alwayes profitable is better than that which is but sometime So Bread is better then all Phesants Partridges c. For it is alwayes needfull 14 That which hath all kindes of good as honest profitable and pleasant is better than that which is under but one kinde of good 15 That is most to be shunned which most hindereth things to be chosen 16 They are most to be chosen whose opposites are most to be shunned So prudence is better than knowledge because imprudence is more hurtfull than simple ignorance 17 That is best which is most famous and notable 18 Hard things are to be preferred before easie 19 Things that we may communicate with others specially with friends are better than those which we may not So learning is better than health liberality than temperance 20 That is best which is most proper So Gods grace is better for his children than worldly riches For these are common with the wicked that proper to the elect To use reason is better than to use sense For that is proper to man this is common with beasts So wit is better than memory which many fools have 21 Of those which are under the same Genus or Species that is better which hath its own proper vertue So cold water is better than hot Natural gesture than affected 22 They which are of abundant seem better than necessary things As to have fair cloaths better than mean to be a good Artizen better than a mean 23 Things that cannot be given by men are better than those that can So wit is better than riches 24 That is more to be chosen the abundance whereof is more to be chosen than of any other thing 25 Better is when a thing may be chosen without an other than when without an other it is not to be chosen As prudence is better than strength 26 Of what things we deny the one that the other may seem to be in it that is the better which we would have seem to be in it So many deny they took pains about a thing that they may seem to be witty therefore wit is better than pains taking 27 Such things as whose losse we take not more grievoussy we are more blamed for are more to be chosen As children than riches for we are more blamed if we be not sorry for losse of our children than of our goods 28 That which effecteth good is better than that which doth not 29 Conjugates follow mutually therefore if one be better the other also shall be better As the New Testament is better than the old therefore also a Minister of the New is better than a Minister of the old 30 That which pleaseth God is better than that which pleaseth man 31 That which we choose for it self is better than that which we choose for glory And this much of a Notional Syllogism and a comparative A Reall Syllogism is whose terms are Reall that is first Notions put without the mind And it is either Contingent a Or Necessary b A Contingent is whose contingent mean contingently disposed with the extreams getteth a suspended and weak assent to the conclusion and is called opinion A contingent mean is that which is taken from a contingent place Contingent places be either From the word c From the things d Places from the word are either 1 From the definition of a Noun 2 From the Conjugates A place from the definition of a Noun hath three Canons 1 To what the definition and notation of a noun is given to that also the defined thing is given 2 When the definition and Notation is larger than the thing defined and noted the consequence is of force onely negatively As it is not a sacred sign therefore not a Sacrament 3 When the Notation is equall to the noted the consequence is of force as well affirmatively as negatively as He foretels things to come therefore he is a prophet he is not a prophet therefore he foretels not things to come A place of Conjugates hath three Canons 1 One of the conjugates being put another is put and one taken away another is taken away as Sin pleaseth not God therefore not the sinner ● That which is given to one of the Conjugates is given also to the other as Religion is contemned because the Religious are contemned They that have one God one Spirit one Baptism ought to have Unity amongst themselves In the Trinity there is Unity because the Father the Son and the holy Ghost are one A place from the things is either Artificial h Inartificial i Artificial is which containeth Terms arguing of themselves And it is either First Or rising from the first First is which containeth the first Terms And it is either Inward m Outward n Inward is which containeth inward Terms as Of the cause and caused of the subject and accident of the whole and the part The place of the cause and caused hath five Canons 1 The far-off efficient cause being put it is probable that the effect should be put as The clouds gather therefore it will rain 2 The cause 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 and 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 being put it is probable the effect is put and contrariwise also the effect being put it is probable such a cause is put as He loves her therefore he will marry her He married her therefore he loved her 3 The Instruments being put it is probable the effect is put and contrary the effect being put it is probable the instruments are put and contrary as He reads good books therefore he will be learned He useth proper physick therefore he shall recover health c. 4 From the common matter put or taken away or the matter whereof to put

Figure is never Universal And hitherto of a perfect Syllogism Animperfect Syllogism is which hath an imperfect disposition of Syllogistical Form And it is Direct f Indirect g g Indirect is which concludeth by indirect or absurd And it is Primary a Secondary b Primary is when the adversary by the contradictory of the conclusion which he denyeth and by the complication of a proposition manifestly true and granted is driven to an absurdity The Canons hereof are seven 1. Let the contradictory be taken of the conclusion which the adversary denyeth 2. Let a contradiction be assumed manifestly true and which the adversary cannot deny and let that be placed instead of the Major 3. Let the contradictory of the conolusion be put instead of the Minor and thereupon with the Major manifestly true let be inferrd an absurd conclusion 4. From the absurd conclusion inferred go back to the absurd proposition or contradictory of the first conclusion 5. The falshood of the Minor being shewed by the force of the contradictory principle let it be shewed that the first conclusion is true as that whereto the Minor is contradictorily opposed for example Arians deny this conclusion The Holy Ghost is God I take the contradictory The Holy Ghost is not God but a Creature and thus I infer The spirit of God is not God but a Creature therefore the The spirit of God is without God This Conclusion is absurd for no spirit is without that whose spirit it is therefore Paul saith plainly The spirit of God is in God Therefore either the Major or Minor is absurd not the Major for it is manifest the creatures are without the Creator therefore the Minor And therefore the right conclusion is true which is opposed to this Minor 6 Therefore a Syllogism leading to absurdity is faulty either when the Major is infirm or the conclusion not absurd or opposed to a true conclusion 7 A Syllogism leading to absurdity much urgeth in disputing and hath the chief use in shewing the verity of principles and specially of those conclusions which are nigh to principles so as they cannot well be proved by demonstration Secondary is which by the Adversaries grant of concontradictories inferreth the denyall of the same by it self as No Naturall body is infinite some body viz. Christs by the Ubiquitaries opinion is infinite therefore some body viz. Christs is not a body A direct imperfect Syllogism is 1 Enthymema 2 Consecution of sentences 3 Induction 4 Sorites 1 An Enthymema is a Syllogism wherein one of the premises is kept in The Canons are three 1 In an Enthymema the first proposition is called the antecedent the other the consequent 2 It may easily be made a Syllogism by adding the proposition that wanteth 3 Which of the premises is wanting may easily be judged by the conclusion whereof if the attribute or latter part appear not in the antecedent the Major is wanting if the subject or first part appear not the Minor is wanting as a living creature moveth therfore man moveth Here wants the Minor for this word man appeareth not in the antecedent A man is aliving creature therefore he moveth Here wants the Major for the attribute in the conclusion moveth appeareth not in the antecedent Consecution of sentences is when without disposition of the Mean one sentence followeth another And it is Consentanie a Dissentanie b Consentanie is when the consecution procedeth by consent of the sentences Namely by conversion inclusion and other naturall Relations of the Sentences The Canons hereof are nine 1 The converting to the converted in all kinds of conversion followeth rightly as No Infidel eats Christs body therefore None that eats Christs body is an Infidel 2 That inference which is made from a contrary sense is neer kin to conversion by contrary placing as Vertue is to be praised therefore Vice is to be dispraised 3 From the Superiour or Universall unto the Inferior or Particular distributely there is a good consecution as All sinners repenting finde mercy Therefore all great sinners repenting do finde mercy But from one particular to another it followeth not rightly As to say Some sin is not forgiven in the life to come therefore some sin is forgiven in the life to come 4 From the affirmative of a finite consequent or attribute followeth the Negative of an infinite consequent as man is just therefore man is not not-just 5 From the affirmative of an infinite consequent followeth the Negative of a finite consequent if the antecedent be capable of the habit as Man is not just therefore neither is he just neither un just But of an infant it followes not he is not just therefore he is unjust for he is not capable 6 From a conjoyned consequent are inferred things divided where there is no ambiguity nor repugnancy in the adject as Man is a living sensible body Therefore man is a body man is living man is sensible But it follows not a Carkase is a dead man therefore it is a man For between a Carkase and a man there is a repugnancy 7 From two or mo disjoyned consequents that cleave together by themselves and are taken without ambiguity we may infer conjoyned things as Man is a body and he is mixt and he is living and he is sensible therefore man is a living mixt sensible body But it followeth not if one say This man is a Musitian and he is good therefore he is a good Musitian because Musitian and good cleave together by accident And there is ambiguity in the word good which may be understood either of Moral good or of perfection of Arts. Neither is this right to say This servant is a father and he is thine therefore he is thy father For there is ambiguity in the word thing 8 From an exclusive to an Universal of transposed terms is a good consequence As Onely man can laugh therefore whatsoever can laugh is a man 9 From the removing of the one immediate member unto the exclusive is a good consequence As We are not justified by works therefore by faith onely Dissentany consecution is when from the truth of the one of the opposites is understood the falshood of the other and contrary from the falshood of the one the truth of the other As It is true that some man is not chosen to life therefore It is false that every man is chosen to life It is true that every Christian man is to be baptized therefore it is false that no Christian Infant is to be baptized Induction is either Principal a Lesse principal b Principal is when from many singulars or particulars there is drawn a general conclusion The Canons hereof are three 1 An Induction standing of particular propositions may bring in all the particulars As if one would prove that Wine heateth he may reckon up all sorts of Wine in the World as French Spanish Rhenish European Asian Affrican Wine c. 2 When singulars are infinite it

connexes adjacents and circumstances specially be explaned 5 Let the causes Efficient both Principal and Impulsive and Instrumental be diligently discussed and the final cause also added 6 Let the description be gathered by naming of the Species assignation also of the subject object circumstances of time and place with mention also of the efficient and final causes 7 Let the proper Requisites and Effects be added 8 Let the Consequents be named 9 Let the things akin be rehearsed 10 Let the things diverse be compared and the opposites at last assigned For example Let Christs ascension be the theme to be handled 1 Ascension is the scansion or moving from an inferiour place to a superiour 2 The Genus of it is a motion local whose extreams are 〈…〉 what and unto what and then the mean by which the 〈…〉 is made Now here we are to mind whether Christs Ascention be a Natural moving or Supernatural And we may find it to be a Naturall moving First In respect of the Subject which is a natural Body Secondly and in respect of the terms and mean But in respect of the Efficient cause and end it is Supernatural 3 The Subject of this ascention is Christs whole person not absolutely but restrictively according to that part which could move from place to place which is his humane nature As for the Object Local moving is not occupied about it 4 The Antecedents far off were Christs Ministery and all that he did in his life the neerer are his Passion Resurrection conversing after with his Disciples forty dayes and bringing of them to Mount-Olivet c. The Connexes are the term from whence Namely Mount-Olivet The term whereto namely the Heaven of Heavens The means by which are the Air and Sphere of fire and other Orbs thorow which his Body went The Circumstance of places agrees with the terms The time was forty dayes after his Resurrection The other Connexes were the gazing of his Disciples the appearing of the Angels c. 5 The principal Efficient cause was the vertue of the Godhead the inward moving cause 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 is Christs love to his Elect The outward moving cause 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 is the profit and salvation of his Elect. The final cause in respect of Christ is the full possession of glory Secondly In respect of his Elect to fulfill his kingly office by defending and ruling of his Church Also his Prophetical and Priestly office by sending the holy Ghost to teach them and the interceding for them with the Father 6 Hereupon the Description ariseth this That Christs ascension was a Local moving whereby he as touching his body leaving the earth on Mount-Olivet came thorow all the Regions of the Elements by vertue of the Godhead into the glorious Heaven to possesse full glory and to defend his Church against all Enemies and by the power of the holy Ghost from Heaven to teach and instruct and by Intercession to commend us to the Father 7 The Effects of his ascension are the sending of the holy Ghost the gathering of his Church by the Ministery of his Apostles the suppressing of the Enemies and defence of his Church sitting on Gods right hand and Intercession 8 The Consequent of his Ascension was the Apostles wondering and returning to Jerusalem Fear and dwelling together till the Spirit was sent down 9 The things akin to his Ascension were his Resurrection the ascending of Enoch and especially of Elias 10 Diversity may be shewed between those for the ascension of Enoch and Elias was not a Victory over sin and the Devil nor a triumph of merit but of grace not by their own power but by anothers c. And the Opposites of his ascension are His base estate on earth and that disparition vanishing away which Ubiquitaries feign of his Body c. And thus much of the handling of a singular accident The handling of a Part hath these Canons 1 Let the name of the part in several tongues be considered and the Notation shewed 2 Because every Part is a thing Incomplete a complete Genus or Species of it cannot be had but it must be referred unto the predicament in which the whole is therefore by Comparison to the whole and Relation to the whole the Nature of the Part is of our understanding to be conceived For every part is part of the whole and if it be cut from the whole it deserves almost no consideration because the use of it is ceased 3 It must be considered whether the part be Essential or Integral 4 If the part be Essential let it be minded whether it be the Form or the Matter If the Form it must chiefly be explained by his Operations or Forces and Effects If it be the Matter the disposition of it must be considered by which it is apt to receive the Form and so the Instruments by which the operations of the Form are wrought and so let the whole body be subdivided into parts greater and principal lesser and least of all 5 Let it be considered whether the Integral part be similar or dissimilar For Similars come rarely under consideration because it is of the same name nature and properties with the whole but dissimilars are wont chiefly to deserve explication 6 In every part therefore besides the name there must be considered 1 The quantity and figure 2 The quality or temperature 3 The situation and how it is placed and knit with other parts 4 The uses or actions of the parts for whose sake this Instrument is of Nature made 5 The lesser parts of which it is compounded 7 After this let the things akin to the part be weighed as are either parts like unto it and finally let the Opposites be added as are in mans body the peculiar diseases of the parts The use of this Doctrine of the Part is chiefly seen in anatomies and in astronomy and architecture or building But most of all in the anatomy and parts of a mans body A Concrete accident is explained chiefly by these Canons 1 Besides the ambiguity of the name and the Etymologie let the Absolute accident be considered of which the Concrete is denominated because the resolution of the Concrete into the Absolute is the best explication of the Concrete 2 In the accident absolute whereinto the Concrete is resolved let the Genus Causes Objects Effects Things akin and Opposites be considered and let them be applied to the Concrete accident after the same manner 3 In relations concrets are often wont to be taken for absolutes by the unheedy therefore there needeth great discretiō 4 When the nature of the absolute accident is perceived the description of the Concrete may be annexed viz. that which is builded by the consideration of the absolute Collectives are diverse things especially substances united together not by any essentiall Band but by Number and Relation The Canons for explaining Collectives are these 1 Besides the Name consider whether
