I doe not yet perfectly vnderstand by all this, with what method a simple question is to be handled: therefore I pray you shew the true way and order thereof.

The method or way in handling a simple question, dependeth vpon these 9. Interrogatiues, that is to say, 1. First, what signifi∣cations the name or word hath, whereof the question is made, and how it is to be taken. 2. Secondly, whether there bee any such thing, or not. 3. Thirdly, what it is. 4. Fourthly, what be the parts or speciall kindes thereof. 5. Fiftly, what be the cau∣ses. 6. Sixtly, what be the effects. 7. Seuenthly, what things be incident or appurtenant vnto it. 8. Eightly, what things are like vnto it. 9. And ninthly, what things bee contrarie to it. All which questions Aristotle reduceth into these foure, that is to say, Whether it be? What it is? What manner of thing it is? and, Why it is?
