in speciall kinde, as hath beene said before.
How are Arguments to be fetched from the generall kinde to the speciall kinde?
Both affirmatiuely and negatiuely: affirmatiuely thus, Euery vertue is to be desired: Ergo Iustice is to be desired. Negatiue∣ly thus, No vice is to be praised: Ergo drunkennes is not to be praised.
Rehearse the Maxims belonging to the generall kinde?
To what kinde soeuer agreeth the generall kind being vni∣uersally taken (that is to say) pronounced with some vniuersall signe, a•…•… All, Euery or None, to the same the speciall kind doth also agree: and whatsoeuer agreeth not with the generall kinde 〈◊〉〈◊〉 taken, agreeth not with the speciall kind: sor if no vniuersall signe be added to the generall kinde, you can∣not reason affirmatiuely, but onely negatiuely, thus: It is no sensible body: Ergo it is no man: but you cannot reason so affir∣matiuely, as to say thus, It is a sensible body: Ergo it is a man: because the vniuersal signe All, or Euery, is wanting.
How many Places doth this Place of generall kinde comprehend?
Foure, (that is to say) All or euery in quantitie, All or euery in respect, All or euery in place, All or euery in time.
What is All or euery in quantitie?
It is when an vniuersall signe is added to the generall kind, as euery plant liueth, therefore euery tree liueth.
When is it all or euery 〈◊〉〈◊〉 respect?
When any generall kind is vnderstood in some respect, and that the generall signification thereof is restrained by some word added vnto it, or by some secret meaning limiting the 〈◊〉〈◊〉, as a white beast, a good man: for this word white restrai∣neth the general signification of beast, and this word good the g•…•…nerall signification of man.
Giue examples of this place.
God gaue his holy spirit to all faithfull men: Ergo to his A∣postles.
What is all or euery in place?
It is when the generall kinde is an aduerbe of place, sig∣nifying euery where or no where, as Iustice is no where

truly executed: Ergo neither in Frauce nor in England.
What is all or euery in time?
It is when the generall kinde is an aduerbe of time, signify∣ing euer or neuer, as God is alwaies with vs: Ergo now at this present.
What maxims doe belong to these places?
The same that doe belong to the generall kinde vniuersally taken before mentioned, by vertue whereof you may reason both affirmatiuely and negatiuely, as I said before.
