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
