The 15. Chapter. Of distribution of Effects. (Book 15)

THe distributiō of the thing caused or of the effects is, whose parts are effects of the whole, and this is properly called Diuision, when as the generall or vniuersall is diuided into his specials. And as the first called Partition; so this called diuision is handeled as well in forme of Distribution, as in arguing the one by the other.

Maister Plowden. Fol. 132. b. Il n'est rente: car si serroit rent, adon{que} il couyent de necessitie d'estre rent charge, rent seek, ou rent seruice, car ne sont plusors rents que ceux trois, et rent charge il n'est my, car null distres est done, nec ascun terre charge oue ceo, nec seck ou seruice, quia n'est issant hors d'ascun terre, Ergò n'est rent.

Elenchs.

Althusius thus diuideth vnlawfull pleasures: into stu∣prum and adulterium. Stuprum inter personas solutas, and is voluntarium or violentum. Voluntarium fit ab extraneis, aut à consanguineis, vt incestus. Ab extraneis, naturaliter, vel contrà naturam: naturaliter à mare & faemina. Contra natu∣ram, à mare cum mare, à faemina cum faemina, aut cum bestiijs. Adulterium est cum alterius coniuge vel marito. The whole constitution of this diuision is erroneous. For most of the things which are conteyned vnder stuprum, may as wel, and doo as well belong vnto adulterium. Fenners diuision there∣fore is farre better: where hée sayth they bée

Praeter naturam, or secundum naturam: praeter naturam est vel coufusio tum specierum, tum sexuum, vel incestus. Spe∣cierum, cum bestiae verè vel spiritus specie hominibus miscen∣tur voluptatis causa; sexuum, confusio est, cum mares mari∣bus, faeminae faeminis miscentur. Incestus sunt, cum propinqui carne miscentur etiam in coniugio.

Secundum naturain est scortatio vel adulterium: Scórtatio est, cum matrimonio soluti illegitimè miscentur. Adulterium, cum altera persona saltem sit desponsata. Nam si vtra{que} sit de∣sponsata, grauiùs est adulterium.

It is all one whether the generall bée diuided into his specials, or into the formes of the specials, as Animal is ey∣ther rationale or irrationale, where the specials bée as signifi∣cantly put downe as if they were expressed by their owne proper names, man and beast.
