The 14. Chapter. Of Distribution of Causes. (Book 14)

DIstribution is made eyther of argumentes fully agréeable, or agréeable in parte: fully as first of the cause.

The distribution made of the cause is, when the partes are the causes of the whole. And this is called parti∣tion, when the whole integrall is diuided into his members.

Hobbinoll confuteth Diggon Dauy in September, proo∣uing by a distribution of England into her parts, no Wolues to bée in England.

Fye on thee Diggon, and all thy fowle leasing,
Well is knowne, that sith the Saxon king,
Never was Woolfe seene, many nor some,
Nor in all Kent, nor in Christendome.

For most parte of England béeing Christian in Ethelberts time, Kent onely continued in Paganisme, and was there∣fore counted no parte of English Christendome. So that partition is vsed both in a distinct propounding of partes, where any long matter is to bée handeled of Poets, Orators, Preachers, Lawyers, &c. and also syllogistically in arguing eyther the whole by the partes, or the parts by the whole.

Maister Plowden. Fol. 170. a. Terre ne poet perteigner al messuage. Car messuage consist de deux choses, del terre et structure, et terre ne poet perteigner al terre, &c.

Fol. 151. a. Reuersion del terre consist des deux choses del terre, et del residue ou remnaunt estate. Come Manor del seruices et demesne; stagnum del terre et eawe; Pisca∣ria del eawe et terre &c.
