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.

Sith euery question doth consist of words, me thinks it were necessary to shew how words are diuided.

Of words the Schoolemen make diuers and manifold diuisi∣ons, of which I minde here to recite but three onely, whereof the first is this: Of words some be simple, which they call Incomplexa; and some be compound, which they call Complexa. Simple or sin∣gle words, are such as are sole or seuered one from another, not making any sentence, as man, horse, wolfe. The compound are words ioined orderly together by rules of Grammar, to make some perfect sentence, as, Man is a sensible body. And hereof the questions are said to be either simple or compound, as hath been said before.
