O•• all these triflles, I not value ou••ht, W••ich•• Phaedo nor litigious Euc••••d caught•• Who the Megareans mad contention taught.
Lastly, it was called Dialectick; which name Dionysius, a Car∣thaginian first gave them, because their discourses consisted of question and answer.
He affirmed, that there is but one good, which is called by severall names; sometimes Prudence, sometimes God, sometimes the Minde, and the like: He took away all things opposite to good, saying, there was no such thing.
He used arguments not by assumption, but by inference.
He took away disputation by similitude, saying, that it con∣sisted either of like or unlike; if of like, it were better to examine the things themselves to which they are like: if of unlike, the comparison is to no purpose.
