is that which dothe containe some partes within it The parte is that which is contained of the whole And as the deuiding of the whole into his partes is called distribution So the collecting of the partes to the whole is called Induction The distribution rysethe of argumentes whiche dothe agree with the whole but amonge them selues dothe disagree And therfore howe muche the whole with the partes agreethe and the partes amonge them selues disagreethe so muche is the distribution the more accurate CAP. XXV. Of distribution taken from the cause THe first sorte of distribution is of those that agreethe absolutely to wytt the cause and the effecte The distribution is taken from the cause when the partes are causes of the whole So Grammer is parted into Etimologie and Syntaxe Rethoricke into Elocution and Action Dialecticke into Inuention and Iudgemente For of these partes the artes do consist So Virgill deuidethe his Georgickes into fower partes as Heare first I wyll descriue what is the cause Dothe make the corne so pleintifull to ryse Vnder what signe and monethe of the sonne Thou shalt begyn to till thy filde and grounde Eke at what tyme thou maye vnto the elmes Setto the wines and so shortlie after this What care thou ought to haue of thy oxen And of thy cattell the foode and husbanding And last of all howe greate experience The sparing bees haue into their science Cicero for murena I vnderstāde honorable Iudges that theire was thre partes of the accusation one in rebuking and blaming of his lyfe an other in contencion and stryfe of dignitie The third to consist in the crimination of vnlawfull sute for offices Catullus dothe vse this argumnete bothe from the partes to the whole and from the whole to the partes as Fayre Quintia to many dothe appeare Whyte long and streight she dothe also to me Yet wyll I not for this saye she is fayre Seyng in her that there is no bewtie Nor yet in to her bodye large and bygge A wshyt of grace or any plesanutnes Fayre Lesbia in bewtie dothe excede And from the rest hathe stolen all pleasant grace CAP. XXVI Of the distribution from the effecte THe distribution from the effect is when the partes are effectes as in the similitude of Cato wherin he shewethe them to haue erred that sayde olde men dyd nothing Those sayethe he that affirmeth olde men cōstitute ouerseers of the comon wealthe to do nothing sayethe asmuche as yf they should saye the Gouernour of the shippe dothe nothing when some of the Maryners clymethe the mast others ronne the hatches vp and downe some do make the pompe emptie the Gouernour in the hynder parte of the shippe guydethe the rudder and sterne Heare the distribution af the generall argumente into the speciall dothe excell The generall is the wohole of one essence with his partes The speciall or kynde is a parte of the generall as Animal a lyuyng thing is the whole whose essence or definition to wytt a corporall substance hauing lyfe and sences dothe alyke appartayne to men and beastes which are the specialles conteyned as partes vnder the generall animal So is Man the generall to syngle men and a lyon to syngle lyons and agayne syngle men are the specialles of man and single lyons of the lyon The generall argumente is eyther chief generall or subalternall The speciall argumente is eyther subalternall or most speciall The chief generall is that which hathe nothing a boue it more generall as in our deuision sett furthe in the fyrst chapter the argumente is chief generall of argumentes artificiall and of the inartificiall The most speciall which might not be deuided into other inferiours was the marter and the forme The subalternall which maye be the generall in respect of one and speciall in respecte of another as the cause contained vnder the artificiall argumente as a speciall and was generall to the matter and forme which it dyd containe vnder it self The generall and the speciall are notes and signes of the causes the effectes For the generall containethe the cause which dothe equally appartaine to his specialles and agayne the speciall containethe the effecte of their generall This is then the reason wherfore the vniuersall excellethe in dignitie by reason it containethe the cause as Ouide in his Metamor deuidethe the generall to wytt A lyuyng thing into his specialles as starres to the which he geuethe a life as the Philosophers do fowles beastes fyshe and men as That no kynde place or region shoulde be Of lyuyng thinges lefte voyde or els emptie The Godds doe make their habitation Amonge the starres into the highe Region The scalye fyshe also by lotte and keuyll The flowddes cleare obtained therin to dwell The earthe receyued the beastes fierce and wylde The easye sturred dyre the flying fowle But yet the lyuing thing which dothe these all excell In holynes and eke more capable Matters deuyne in mynde for to conceaue Was not present the rest in guyde to haue Therefore at last was man borne c. So Cicero in the first booke of his Offices deuidethe vertue into fower speciall kyndes Wysdome Iustice Fortitude Temperaunce All thinges sayethe he that are honest dothe ryse of one of thiese fower partes eyther it consistethe in the perfecte knowledge of the truthe and quycknesse of wytt or in the defending of the Societie felloweshipp of mā by geuyng to euery man his right fullfilling of thinges promysed Or in the noble courage and strengthe of a valyante and mightie spirite Or last in obseruing a good maner and order in all thinges eyther done or sayed in the which modestie and temperancie consistethe Sometyme we argue or reason from the generall to the speciall as All men maye marrie who haue not the gyfte of Chastitie ergo Preistes and ministers may marrie And contrarye from the speciall to the generall in a parte as Abraham was iustified by faythe therfore man maye be iustified by faythe CAP. XXVII Of the distribution from the Subiecte NOw folowethe the distribution of those that after a certen fashion dothe agree as of the Subiecte and the adioynte The distribution is saide to be of the subiecte when the partes are Subiectes as The xii Trybes of Israell had the Lande of Canaan which was a subiecte parted amonge them vnto the Rubenytes the playne of Medeba c. vnto the Gaddes Iazer and Gylyad c. vnto Manasses the Kyngdom of Og c. vnto Iuda was geuen the wyldernes of Zin c. vnto Ephraim from Iericho to the wyldernes c. vnto Beniamin from Iordan vp the side of Iericho on the northe parte c. vnto Semeon was geuen Beersheba Sheba and Moladah c. vnto Zabulon from Sarid eastward vnto Chisloth c. vnto Issachar Izreelah Chesulleth and Shunen c. vnto Assur Nephtali and Dan euery one his porcion as is described the 13. 15. 19. 18. and 19. chapiters of Iosua Cieero 5.
