And first of Coniugates and Cases.
WHat be Coniugates or Cases?

Coniugates or Cases, be like words deriued all of one selfe word, differing onely in termination or end, as wis∣dome, wise, and wisely: notwithstanding some vse Coniugates and Cases as seuerall places.

Page 117

Why, wherein doe they differ?

Their Difference is very small, sauing that in Arguments fetched from Coniugates, the Abstract is mentioned, but not in those that are fetched from Cases.

How may we reason from these two places?

Both affirmatiuely and Negatiuely, from the Coniugates thus: A iust man is to be praised, ergo Iustice is to be praised: a vicious man is not to be praised, ergo viciousnesse is not to be praised. From cases thus: He doth all things wisely, ergo he is wise: He doth nothing wisely, ergo he is not wise: for in these two last examples the abstract which is wisedome, is not once mentioned: what abstract is, looke before in the Chapter of predication lib. 1. cap. 5. but you must beware in reasoning from this place, that your phrase of speach be natural and pro∣per, and not vnproper: for it were no good argument to say thus: white is sweete: Ergo, whitenesse is sweetnesse.

What is the maxim of these two places?

Whatsoeuer agreeth with one of the Coniugates or cases, must needes also agree with the other.
