CHAP. XVI.

De syllogismo disjuncto secundo.

Disjunctus secundus e proposiione partibus omnibus af∣firmata assumit unum, & reliquum tollit.

THe second disjunct is called secundus in respect that it concludes negatively, as the first conclu∣ded affimatively, and as before the third argument was first taken away, and the rest concluded: so here contra we assume the third argument, and take away the rest: and further we are to consider, that the proposition must be affirmed partibus omnibus, yet we may say it is, or it is not arguing from a contra∣dicent.

Sic Juno cum Jove de Turno concludit 10. Aenei. Quid si qud voce gravaris,

Mente dares, at que dc Turno rata vita maneret;

O husband that you would grant but in mind that Turnus might not be slain: either he must die, or I am deceived. The proposition is in those words, quod ut O potius, &c. the assumption taking away the Irony. Et in melius tua, quod potes, orsa reflectas, there is the conclusion.

Ejus modi syllogismus efficiture propositione copulata ne∣gata, quae negata complexio dicitur: quaeque dis∣junctionis affirmatae vim obtinet.

A syllogism whose proposition shall be a copulate axiom denied, because it is the same with a disjunct

affirmed in value, ergo, it may make a disjunct syllo∣gism, this is seldom found in use, but because other Logicians teach it, ergo, our Author would not leave out any thing, that belongs to the Art of reason, as,

Non & dies est, & nox est; At dies est: Nonigitur nox est.

Here non denies the one, and puts the other, for in a copulate axiom we heard, that non denied the cou∣pling of the parts, and this is called negata complexio, because here the proposition may be denied, where∣as before he said generally e propositione partibus om∣nibus affirmata.

Complexio dicitur.

By complexio he means the whole Syllogism, by a Senecdoche of the part for the whole, and now we have heard of the kinds of disposing arguments im∣mediately: so far as the act of reason reacheth: now we come to method which is but one rule, yet indeed it is the golden rule of all Arts,
