3. The ratiocinative coples the partes of a ratiocination, and it either inferres the conclusion or the reason.
4. Therfoer inferres the conclusion; as, noe man can keep the law in thought, word, and deed: and therfoer noe man befoer the judg of the hart, word, and deed, can be justifyed be the law.
5. Because inferres the reason; as, I wil spew the out, because thou art nether hoat nor cald.
[ OF DISTINCTIONES.]
Cap. 13.
1. A distinction is quherbe sentences are distinguished in wryting and reading. And this is perfect or imperfect.
2. A perfect distinction closes a perfect sense, and is marked with a round punct, thus . or a tailed punct, thus ?
3. The round punct concludes an assertion; as, if Abraham was justifyed be workes, he had quherof to glorie.
4. The tailed punct concludes an interrogation; as, sal we, quha are dead to syn, leve to it?
5. The imperfect distinction divydes the partes of a period, and is marked with tuoe punctes, the one under the other, thus : and is red with half the pause of a perfect punct; as, al have synned, and fallen from the glorie of god: but are justifyed frelie be his grace.
