Quid Judicium. Adhuc prima Dialecticae artis pars fuit, in Inventione; pars altera sequitur in Judicio.

VVE have hitherto heard of simples, which simples may be composites, but yet we re∣spect them as one joyned to another, as man is made of many arguments, but may be considered as a sim∣ple: now we come to consider how one thing is joy∣ned with another thing. The glue which we heard of before, was that affection of one argument to ano∣ther, which the common Logicians call categoria: but when they are put together in disposition, they belong to judgement: so that here we shall hear of nothing but laying of simples together, that is, of arguments with arguments; and that is either of two sides, of one argument to one, as in a simple axiom: or of

three sides together, as in a syllogisme: or lastly of axioms one after another for the help of memory, which is method: so that when we have seen this, we may see the reach of our reason, and the rule of it.
