CHAP. XIII. Of the four last Predicaments.

HItherto I have spoken of the principal predicaments; the less principal now fol∣low and they are four, When, Where, Situa∣tion, Habit.

2. The Predicament When, is an Acci∣dent, by which finite things are said to be in time, past, present, or to come. The words be∣longing to this predicament, make answer to such questions, as are made by this word, When, as to day, to morrow, yesterday, and the like. The properties thereof is, to ac∣commodate time, to persons, things or Acti∣ons.

3. The Predicament where, is an Accident, by which things finite are said to be in some place; where, is not the place it self, but notes the manner or circumstance of place, and ma∣keth answer to such questions as are made by this word where; as at home, within, without, in this or that Countrey, &c. The property thereof, is to accommodate place, to per∣sons, things, and actions.

Ordination of parts and generation, or, a placing of parts in Generation: to make up si∣tuation a threefold habitude is required.

  • 1. Of the parts of some whole among themselves.
  • 2. Of the parts of some whole unto that whole.

All gestures and positions of body belong to this, as standing, sitting, walking, &c. Not as they signifie these actions, but as they signifie the position and order of the parts in the whole, or in some place.

5. The predicament of Habit, is an accident by which some garment, or something like a gar∣ment, is put about, hanged upon, or any other way joyned to a body. The body having it, is a substance; the thing habiting is always some artificial form belonging to the fourth Species of Qualitie. The Application of this to it, is that which maketh this predicament; The propertie thereof is always to be inherent in

many, in the habit, and in him that hath it, but in divers respects; for it is in the body that hath it, as in a subject, in the habit or thing framed, as in a cause.

To this belong all kind of garments, whe∣ther they be such as are used for necessity, as shoes for the feet, and cloaths for the rest of the body; or for distinction, as a Mitre, a Gown whether for Divines, Lawyers or Citizens; or for ornament, as rings, Jewells, Deckings, and the like.
