The arte of logick Plainely taught in the English tongue, according to the best approued authors. Very necessary for all students in any profession, how to defend any argument against all subtill sophisters, and cauelling schismatikes, and how to confute their false syllogismes, and captious arguments. By M. Blundevile.

When is it said to be compound?

When some diuisible body is contained in a place diuisible, as the being of things corporall in the water, or in the aire; for cor∣porall things be so diuisibly placed in their places, as euery part of the thing placed, is answerable to euery part of the place wherein they are contained; and so contrarily, as to the parts of a mans body enuironed with the aire, one part of that aire is an∣swerable to the head, another to the feet, and so consequently of all the rest: and therefore the Schoolemen say, that Ubi composi∣tum, is to be in a place circumscriptiuely, but Ubi simplex, is to be in a place definitiuely, that is to say, in some certaine place, though not according to the position or order of placing the parts. But when a thing is said to be in a place circumscriptiuely, then such place and thing may be both diuided according to the parts of position or placing, as this part here, and the other part there, whereof spring these differences, aboue, beneath, be∣fore, beh•…•…nde, on the right side, on the left side, and such like. And finally, this predicament comprehendeth whatsoeuer answereth to this question, where any thing is said to be or to be done.
