I. c From True followeth True : as, if it be day,

it followeth that it is light. 2. From Falfe fol¬ loweth Falfe ; as, if this be Falfe that it is night, this is likewife, it is dark. 3 . From Falfe follow¬ eth True, as from xkns, the Earth flieth, follow¬ eth, the Earth is. 4. From True doth not follow Falfe i for from this, the Earth is, it followeth not, that the Earth flies.
d Of notfmple propofitions there are many p Laert. kinds, Connex, Adnex, Conjunbf, Cafual, Declara¬ tive of the more, and Declarative of the lefs.
e Connex (according to Chyfppm in his Dia- ^ Laert. letlick, and Diogenes in his DialeUick Art) is that which confifts of the conneQive conjunftion, if : which conjunQiion declareth,that the confequent is fecond to the firft .• as, if it be day, it is light.
Of a diverfified axiom, and the Conjunftion if, confifteththis connex. If it be day, it is ^/zrv,thefe are properly right axioms. Of different axioms, and the ConjunQion whereas, this, if it. -is day.
Pis light, f Connex axioms are called alfo f/,
pical, becaufe they turn from the antecedent xax'nai. prior. the confequent.
The Rules ofconnex axioms arefhefe ; / That^ Laert. is a true connex'Vvherein the contrary of the con¬ fequent is repugnant to the antecedent, as, if it is day. Pis light -, for, that it is not light, the con¬ trary to the confequent, is repugnant to, it is day, the antecedent. A falfe connex is that wherein the contrary to the confequent, is not repugnant to the Antecedeiit ^ as this, if it is day, Dion walks-, for, that Dion voalketh not, is not repugnant to, it is day.
h Adnex (which fome reckon as a fpecies of^ the connex) according to Crinis fn his Dialeftick, is an axiom conneffed by tlieconjunffion where¬ as, beginning with an axiom, and ending with an axiom-, as, whereas it is day, it is light, the con- junffion flieweth, that the fecond is a confequent of the firft, and that the firft is fubfiftent.
The Rules of adnex axioms are thefe: / That • is a true adnex, which beginneth from true, end- eth in that which is confequent ^ as, whereas f is day, the Sun is over the Earth, f alfe is that which beginneth from Falfe, or endeth not confequently^
