their truths Sometimes the efficient and finall causes are linked together with a long chaine As Vnder the Aequator the aire is very hot because it is very subtill The aire is very subtill because the Sunne doth rarefie it very much The Sunne rarefies the aire because the beames fall in right angles The beames fall in right angles because the Sunne is there in the Zenith Thus it is in the finall cause The Lungs draw in the aire to refresh the heat of the heart The heat of the heart is refreshed to keepe the Temperature The Temperature is kept to preserue life So many causes so many demonstrations But the last where also the chiefest and last cause stands for the Meane is the noblest of all because it can no further be demonstrated and the two propositions are immediate every manner of way The fifth Chapter A speciall note to know a perfect Demonstration OF all the markes of a perfect Demonstration this is the most evident when it may be conver●ed or reduced to a definition For we haue said heretofore that the definition of a proper accident is compounded of three parts namely L. 2. c. 8. of the Genus of that which is defined and of the proper subject and of the cause thereof As the definition of Death is the destruction of the life of the creature by the extinguishing of vitall heat Out of this definition a demonstration may be framed making the Subject of this accident to be the subject of the conclusion the Genus to be the attribute and the cause the Meane As thus Whensoever the vitall heat is extinguished life is destroyed But in a living creature the vitall heat is extinguished Therefore in a living creature life is destroyed The same may be said of these definitions following Sleepe is the heavinesse of a living creature by the cessation of the common sense Thunder is a noyse in the clouds by the breaking out of the fire The sixth Chapter Of an Imperfect Demonstration WEE haue shewed that a perfect demonstration is that which proveth by the next efficient or finall cause of the attribute that the attribute of the conclusion agrees with the subject If any of these perfections be wanting the demonstration is the weaker and lesse perfect If the Meane be not the next cause of the attribute but onely a remote cause then is the demonstration weaker and more imperfect And such demonstrations for the most part conclude negatiuely For example Where there is no opposition of contrary qualities there is no death But in the heavens there is no opposition of contrary qualities Therefore in heaven there is no death Or He that is of a cold temperature will never be bald But Eunuches are of a cold temperature Therefore Eunuches will never be bald In these demonstrations the propositions are not immediate For the Meane is not the next cause of the attribute To haue no contrary qualities is not the next cause of not dying but a remote cause for the next cause of not dying in mans body is the continual preservation of the humors in an equall temperature and the cause hereof is to haue no contrarietie or combate betweene the elementarie qualities in the bodie Thus the cause why Eunuches become not bald is become the radicall humor of the haires is not spent and the remote cause is because they haue but little heat In these demonstrations the propositions are not immediate for the Meane is not the next cause of the attribute And though the propositions be immediate yet if the Meane be not the cause but the effect of the attribute then it shall be a lesse perfect demonstration proving not the effect by the cause but the cause by the effect This kinde of demonstration shewes not why the conclusion is but onely that it is As All that loue God are beloved of God But all that haue faith in Christ loue God Therefore all that haue faith in Christ are beloved of God The Meane is to loue God which is not the cause but the effect of the loue which God beareth vnto vs which loue is the attribute of the conclusion in this demonstration wherein the cause is proved by the effect whereas in a perfect demonstration we proue effects by their causes Therefore this imperfect demonstration proveth onely that the thing is but sheweth not why it is The effect may very well be the cause of knowing but not of being As the smoake which we see come out of a chimney may be a cause to make vs know that there is fire in the house but it is not the cause of the fire but onely the effect And the vnequall beating of the pulse is not the cause of the Ague but it is a cause which makes vs know that such a one hath an Ague ¶ The sixt Booke OF SOPHISMES OR FALLACIES The first Chapter Of Fallacies in words ALL Fallacies or Sophismes committed in disputing are either in the Words or in the Matter Fallacies in words are of six kindes 1. Aequivocation 2. Amphibologie 3. Deceipt by Composition 4. Deceipt by Division 5. Deceipt in the Accent or Pronuntiation 6. And deceipt in the Figure of the word 1. Of Aequivocation Decipt by Aequivocation is when the Meane is a doubtfull word taken in the proposition one way and in the assumption another way As That which hath neither beginning nor ending God created not The roundnesse of the Heavens hath neither beginning nor ending Therfore the roundnesse of the Heavens God created not In the proposition beginning and ending is taken for continuance of time but in the assumption it is taken for the beginning and ending of a figure Or thus He that saith that thou liuest saith true He that saith that thou art a goose saith that thou livest Therefore he that saith that thou art a goose saith true In the proposition it is meant of an expresse saying but in the assumption of a saying by consequence Thus a man of great capacitie may be taken for a learned man and sometimes for one whose stomacke is able to containe much wine The same fallacie may be committed also when a word is otherwise taken in the propositions then in the conclusion 2. Of Amphibologie Amphibologie is an ambiguous constructiō making the sense doubtfull As Faith alone iustifieth It cannot be knowne whether the meaning be that faith being alone justifieth or els that faith justifieth onely In the first sense it is false for faith alone without good works is no true faith and by consequent justifieth not But in the second sense it is true that faith onely justifieth because it onely hath the propertie to justifie So it is true in one sense that the eye alone seeth but it is false in another sense that the eye seeth alone For an eye that is out of the head seeth not 3. The fallacie in Composition The fallacie in Composition is when things are taken as conjoyned which cannot be true but in
