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.

Similar, or like, are these that be of one kinde, and of one selfe name; and being diuided into parts, euery such part, be it neuer so small, beareth also the name of the whole, as flesh, bone, sinew, skin, and such like: for euery little part of the flesh is called flesh, and euery part of bone is called bone; and so of all the rest. Hi∣therto also may be referred water, fire, gold, iron, or any other simple metall, wine, wood, stone, and such like: for euery drop of water is called water, and so of the rest.
