CAP. 8. The disjunct Axioma.
...
Q. What is a disjunct axioma?
A. A disjunct axioma is a segregative axioma, whose con∣junction is disjunct:
...
Q. Give example?
A. Georg. 1.
There, as they say, is either silent night,Always most dark and void of any light;Or else the morning from us here doth go,And brings the day unto them there also.
...
Q. Shew another example?
A. De fate, ever enunciation is true or false,
...
Q. Here it seemeth is signified from the disjunst, that one only is true?
A. So it is.
...
Q. What shall the negative and contradiction be?
A. Not every enunciation is true or false.
...
Q. And what doth the contradiction signifie?
A. That one of them is not true by necessity, for if the disjunction be absolutely true, it is also necessary: and the parts of the disjunct are opposite without any means.
...
Q. But although the disjunction be absolutely true, and also ne∣cessary, may there not be a necessity that the parts should be sepa∣rately necessary?
A. No.
...
Q. Give example?
A. A man is good or not good, here the disjunction is ne∣cessary; and yet a man is good, is not a necessary enunciati∣on; also a man is not good, is not a necessary enunciation.
...
Q. Whereupon then dependeth the necessity of the disjunction?
descriptionPage 302
...
A. The necessity of the disjunction dependeth on the ne∣cessary opposition, and disjunction of the parts, not as their necessary verity.
...
Q. But is not the disjunction oftentimes from condition?
A. Yes.
...
Q. Give example.
A. As if it be thought whether Cleon will come, or Socrates, because it was so agreed that one of them only should come.
...
Q. It seemeth by this that if the disjunction be contingent, it is not absolutely true, but is only opinionable?
A. So it is, and that more frequently in the use of man.
...
Qu. Give example?
A. Ovid. Epist. Lean.
Either good hap shall now unto me fall,Or else fierce death, the end of loving thrall.
