Quorum unum uni tantum opponitur.

So that this battle is a duellio, a battle of one against one, and so they fight, that the one things force is benr onely against the force of the other thing. Ʋnum uni tantum, for disparates may be unum uni, but not tantum, unum uni because they come to communi∣cate in one next nature, as homo and brutum in ani∣mal; or else the one so denies the other, that it takes away the entity of the thing affirmed. Ʋni; but we shall hear afterward that contraria negantia are no∣thing in themselves.

Answ. They are something gratia entis, and our reason gives something to it, and apprehends it as some thing in respect of the contrary, and here we may see the force of our reason that can make of no∣thing something. Now something is made of no∣thing divers wayes, first by our reason, secondly, by our fancie, or by the hallusination of the eye. Lo∣gick makes onely two kinds of nothings, the contra∣dicent, and the privant. Homo is a contrary to bru∣tum, but to Leo and equus he is a disparate, because 〈◊〉〈◊〉 is opposed to equus in the same nature that he is op∣posed to Leo.
