Est vero copulatum aut connexum.

Things disposed together, where there is two sides, are either disposed, that is, yoked together, as Oxen go together one by another, or as Horses are tied tail to tail one following another in a team. So that if the arguments be disposed, that is, yoked together as Oxen, then it is a copulate axiom, and if one argument go before another, and the later follow upon the former, then it is a connex: so that as one thing in nature is disposed together with another, or as one thing followeth upon another, so must our reason see them. A copulate is first, because there is not such a precedency and consequency of the arguments as in a connex, but both go together, ergo, a copulate is next to a simple, and thence it is that a copulate axiom is so often in a simple syllogisme.
