Is there no other kindes of false Syllogismes?

Yes, there is another kinde of false Syllogisme, called of A∣ristotle, Syllogismus falsigraphus, which proceedeth of the pro∣per principles of some discipline, misconstrued, or not rightly vnderstood, as thus: All lines drawne from one selfe-point to another selfe-point, be equall, a right line and a crooked line be drawne from one selfe-point to another selfe-point: Ergo, a right line and a crooked line be equal, as you see in the figure* 1.1 a. b. in the Margent: Here the Maior being a principle in Ge∣ometrie, is not rightly vnderstood; for the right meaning of the principle is, that the lines should be also drawn in one selfe space, and then they must needes be equall, (that is to say) all of one length: but as touching false Syllogismes, wee shall treate of them hereafter more at large in the Elenches: in the meane time we minde to speake of the other kindes of argu∣ments before mentioned; and first of Induction.
