Of Enumeration.
WHat is Enumeration?

Enumeration is a kinde of Argument, wher∣in many things being reckoned vp and denied, one thing onely of necessitie remaineth to bee affirmed, as thus: Sith thou hast this Horse, ey∣ther thou didst buy him, or he came to thee by inheritance, or hee was giuen thee, or bred at home with thee, or else thou didst take him from thine enemie in time of warre; or if none of these were, then thou must needs steale him: but thou ney∣ther boughtest him, nor he fell not vnto thee by inheritance,

nor was giuen thee, •…•…or bred vp at home with thee, nor yet taken by thee from the enemie: it followeth therefore of neces∣sitie that thou hast stolne him.

When is this kind of argument to be confuted?

When your aduersary can prooue any necessary part to bee left out.
