Axiome 1. LOGICK is the Art of making of Instruments * 1.1, and therewith di∣recting the understanding in the Knowledge of Things.
There is yet an Homonymie, or Ambiguity of meaning, lies hid in this Word Logick; for it is used either for a natural Faculty of Discourse, as when Persons of little Learning or Understand∣ing are said to use Logick or Discourse, when af∣ter
their Manner; they question and maintain Disputes. Or for a Habit obtain'd by frequent Exercises and Rules. Or lastly, for a Systeme of Logical Precepts; as when one says, The Logick of Aristotle, The Logick of Ramus, &c. Logick in the de∣liver'd Definition, left any one shou'd mistake, is taken for a Habit, which is as it were the End to which Precepts are design'd.
Ax. 2. Logick of the third and last Acceptation, that is, a System of Logical Precepts, consists of two Parts, Thematick and Organick.
Ax. 3. The first is that which is imploy'd about Theams, and their various Affections, and second Notions, as about the Matter of the Instruments of Logick.
Ax. 4. The other converses about the Organs themselves, with which the Understanding en∣treats of Themes, and according to its Capacity attains to the Knowledge of them.
Which In∣struments are Definiti∣on, Division, Syllogism and Method.
