De inveniendis argumentis.

As if he should say, inventio, that act of reason doth invenire argumenta, de inveniendis, why? he means the precepts of this act, for in this part de inveniendis argumentis is the subject, but these precepts of inven∣tion are first concerning a seeking: but to find what? it teacheth me first to hunt, and then to find a Hare, as if he should say, take the rule of causa, that Hound, and hunt, and you shall find a cause: as if he should say, would you seek a cause? first seek the artificia∣lity, then the primative, then how it is simplex and consent aneum &c. and so come to causa, so that inven∣tion is not taken for judgement here, but for the seek∣ing, and finding out of arguments.
