Ʋt utramque partem antecedens, & assumptione affir∣matum intelligatur.

For that is understood, intelligatur, that is, even when it is contracted: so that here is the reason why this syllogism is first. Aristotle and all his sect that follow him make this figure last: but a syllogism is a disposition, and according to the disposition of the third argument, such is the syllogism, if therefore it go before in both the parts of the antecedent, why to go before is before to go behind, ergo, this must be the first. Kickerman saith Aristotles order is best, be∣cause the last figure is most general for use, he hath reason for it, for it is more large for his reach, but not so simple for disposition, and how can we conclude, till we know where to place the third argument.
