Of Opposition.

WHat is Opposition?

Oppositio•…•… is a kind of Argument, made of Repugnant parts, wherein we reuert from the Opposite of the first Proposition, vnto the same Proposition againe, as thus: If I were in the Citie at such time as this man was slaine in the Countrey, then I slew him not; this Proposition is now a simple Conclusion, and may be made an Opposition in this maner: If I had been in the Countrey at such time as you say this man was slaine, then you might well suspect mee to haue slaine him: but sith I was not there at that time, there is no cause therefore why you should suspect mee.
