_Therefore every lord may give an universal license_. Less plain, hath one fallacy in common, when the proposition is special: as, _Some player is a rogue_: _Every vagabond is a rogue_, _Therefore every player is a vagabond_. Also, _some player is a rogue_: _Every vagabond is a player_, _Therefore every player is a rogue_. The fallacy of the first kind, is when all the parts be affirmative: as, _All Paul’s bishops were ordained for unity._ _All archbishops be ordained for unity._ _Therefore all archbishops are Paul’s bishops._ The fallacy of the second kind is when the assumption is denied: as, _Every puritan is a Christian._ _No Lord Bishop is a puritan_, _Therefore no Lord Bishop is a Christian_. Hitherto of the fallacies referred to a _simple_ syllogism. Now follow those which are referred to a _compound_; which are those which are referred either to the _connexive_, or to the _disjoined_. Of the first sort, one is when the first part or antecedent is denied, that the second or consequent may be so likewise: as, _If any man have two benefices, he may escape unpunished at the bishop’s hands._ _But he may not have two benefices_, _Therefore he may not escape unpunished at the bishop’s hands_. The second part is affirmed, that the first may be so also: as, _If every ignorant minister were put out of the church, and a preacher in his place, we should have good order_, _But we have good order_. _Therefore every ignorant minister is put out of the church, and a preacher in his place._ Of those referred to the disjoined, the first is when all the parts of the disjunction or proposition are not affirmed: as, _Every ignorant minister is to be allowed, or not._ _But he is not._ _Therefore he is._ The second kind, is when the second part of the copulative negative axiom is denied, that the first may be so: as, _A non-resident is either a faithful, or unfaithful minister._ _But he is unfaithful. Ergo, &c._ And thus much of the fallacies in a syllogism. The fallacy in method is when, to deceive withal, the end is set in the beginning, the special before the general; good order be gone, confounded; and finally when darkness, length, and hardness, is laboured after.

VI. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Transcriber’s Note In the Table of Contents, the third section of this volume is entitled “The Whole Art of Rhetoric”. This title also serves as page header at p. #421. However, at p. 419, the title page contains “The Art of Rhetoric” (also the title of the following fourth section). To avoid confusion, the word “WHOLE” has been added to p. 419. At 70.34 “_[2. ]That the design...”_ The number ‘2’ has no preceding ‘1’. Errors deemed most likely to be the printer’s have been corrected, and are noted here. The references are to the page and line in the original.
