subject_v be_v call_v by_o the_o name_n of_o species_n the_o canon_n or_o rule_n of_o genus_fw-la and_o species_n be_v 1._o if_o the_o genus_fw-la be_v take_v away_o the_o species_n be_v take_v away_o also_o as_o if_o there_o be_v not_o a_o animal_n there_o be_v neither_o man_n nor_o beast_n nor_o reasonable_a creature_n 2._o the_o species_n be_v grant_v the_o genus_fw-la be_v also_o grant_v as_o if_o there_o be_v a_o man_n or_o something_o that_o be_v rational_a there_o be_v a_o animal_n these_o rule_n hold_v always_o 3._o what_o do_v or_o do_v not_o agree_v to_o the_o genus_fw-la do_v also_o agree_v or_o not_o agree_v to_o the_o species_n as_o if_o a_o animal_n be_v sensible_a a_o man_n be_v so_o if_o it_o be_v not_o incorporeal_a neither_o be_v a_o man_n this_o rule_n faill_v 1._o in_o a_o material_a or_o simple_a supposition_n for_o neither_o be_v man_n a_o genus_fw-la because_o there_o be_v a_o animal_n or_o not_o a_o species_n because_o there_o be_v not_o a_o animal_n 2._o in_o those_o thing_n which_o do_v agree_v or_o not_o agree_v in_o part_n only_o and_o not_o universal_o as_o neither_o be_v a_o man_n irrational_a because_o some_o animal_n be_v so_o or_o not_o rational_a because_o some_o animal_n be_v not_o rational_a 4._o what_o do_v or_o do_v not_o agree_v to_o a_o species_n do_v or_o do_v not_o agree_v unto_o its_o genus_fw-la this_o must_v be_v explain_v two_o way_n 1._o what_o do_v or_o do_v not_o agree_v to_o any_o species_n do_v or_o do_v not_o agree_v to_o its_o genus_fw-la in_o part_n thus_o be_v syllogism_n in_o the_o three_o figure_n as_o if_o man_n be_v rational_a or_o not_o fourfooted_a certain_o some_o animal_n be_v rational_a and_o some_o animal_n have_v not_o four_o foot_n 2._o what_o do_v or_o do_v not_o agree_v to_o all_o the_o species_n do_v or_o do_v not_o agree_v to_o all_o the_o genus_fw-la hence_o induction_n be_v form_v as_o if_o a_o man_n a_o horse_n etc._n etc._n be_v sensible_a or_o be_v not_o immortal_a certain_o every_o animal_n be_v sensible_a and_o no_o animal_n be_v immortal_a chap._n xvii_o of_o the_o topic_n from_o definition_n and_o division_n definition_n topical_o take_v do_v comprehend_v not_o only_o every_o

thing_n define_v be_v also_o grant_v or_o not_o grant_v and_o the_o contrary_a as_o if_o there_o be_v a_o rational_a creature_n there_o be_v a_o man_n and_o the_o contrary_a if_o there_o be_v not_o a_o man_n there_o be_v no_o rational_a creature_n nor_o on_o the_o contrary_n this_o rule_n fail_v in_o those_o thing_n which_o agree_v to_o the_o definition_n or_o the_o thing_n define_v as_o a_o definition_n or_o thing_n define_v for_o if_o a_o rational_a creature_n be_v a_o compound_a speech_n it_o do_v not_o follow_v that_o there_o be_v a_o man_n otherwise_o it_o be_v always_o true_a for_o it_o be_v found_v in_o their_o mutual_a reciprocation_n division_n have_v this_o only_a canon_n also_o one_o or_o other_o of_o the_o divide_v member_n be_v take_v away_o the_o other_o be_v take_v away_o also_o and_o one_o be_v grant_v the_o other_o be_v also_o grant_v as_o if_o this_o animal_n be_v not_o a_o brute_n it_o be_v a_o man_n if_o it_o be_v a_o man_n it_o be_v not_o a_o brute_n this_o do_v always_o hold_v in_o every_o good_a division_n for_o it_o be_v found_v upon_o these_o two_o canon_n of_o a_o perfect_a division_n 1._o the_o member_n do_v take_v up_o the_o whole_a that_o be_v to_o be_v divide_v 2._o the_o divide_v member_n be_v contrary_o distinct_a and_o opposite_a so_o that_o they_o can_v neither_o agree_v nor_o be_v confound_v chap._n xviii_o of_o the_o topick_n from_o testimony_n we_o be_v now_o to_o speak_v of_o inartificial_a argument_n or_o such_o as_o be_v void_a if_o not_o against_o the_o rule_n of_o art_n these_o contend_v not_o with_o strength_n of_o

1._o testimony_n in_o the_o negative_a be_v of_o no_o value_n for_o it_o do_v not_o follow_v that_o it_o be_v not_o so_o because_o aristotle_n have_v no_o where_o make_v mention_n of_o it_o this_o rule_n fail_v 1._o in_o those_o thing_n which_o be_v not_o to_o be_v command_v without_o a_o certain_a authority_n as_o because_o it_o be_v not_o in_o the_o scripture_n therefore_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v believe_v nor_o be_v it_o a_o capital_a crime_n to_o swear_v rash_o because_o no_o law_n have_v make_v it_o capital_a in_o those_o thing_n in_o which_o a_o author_n either_o shall_v or_o have_v promise_v to_o discourse_v perfect_o as_o aristotle_n lib._n 1._o metaphys_n where_o he_o promise_v to_o enumerate_v the_o several_a species_n of_o quantity_n yet_o make_v no_o mention_n of_o

it_o this_o rule_n never_o fail_v 3._o the_o testimony_n of_o sense_n be_v sure_o to_o be_v believe_v as_o fire_n be_v hot_a because_o sense_n show_v it_o to_o be_v so_o this_o rule_n fail_v when_o
