Adjunctum doth presently tell me, that there is some thing cui aliquid adjungitur: he rather sayes subjicitur than adjungitur, because adjunctum hath re∣ference to subjectum, and it is better to define them from the relation between them, then a comparatis; because relats are mutual causes one of another. Now here he shews that the adjunct is that that is builded upon the subject: and as the subject did presuppose a thing already made, but must support another thing;
so adjunctum tels me it is a thing already made, but must lye upon the subject: subjectum signifies a sup∣porter, or a suppository as it were: adjunctum, that is more common than subjectum, and subjectum lyes alway under; but adjunctum it may either lye over, or under, or be tacked to either side, yet it will fall off, unless it be nailed, or adjoyned to the subject. Now that which tacks it to the subject is that affection which it hath to subjectum, every thing will not be an adjunct to every thing, nor every thing a subject to every thing. Salomon saith, if we bray a fool in a morter, as wheat is brayed, he will not be wise: the reason is, for that his spirits are so dry, dull and earthy. Now wisdom hath so fine a hand, as that she cannot take hold of such hard things, but they will hurt it, so that it cannot be subjectum or adjunctum to any thing: and this shews that Logick is in the things in nature, and not in mans brain onely. So this rule wils us to look how subjectum is able to support the adjunct, and when he sees how God hath done them for him, to use them to his turn. Again, this rule is of great use to see how things are tacked together in nature, so as the one being taken away the other will remain entire: then again, though the adjunct in nature can∣not be severed from the subject, yet by my eye of Lo∣gick I can sever them.
