BURGERSDICIUS HIS INSTITUTIONS OF LOGICK.
BOOK I.
CHAP. I. Of the Nature and Diviſion of Logick.
Axiome 1. LOGICK is the Art of making of Inſtruments *Which Instruments are Definition, Diviſion, Syllogiſm and Method., and therewith directing the underſtanding in the Knowledge of Things.
There is yet an Homonymie, or Ambiguity of meaning, lies hid in this Word Logick; for it is uſed either for a natural Faculty of Diſcourſe, as when Perſons of little Learning or Underſtanding are ſaid to uſe Logick or Diſcourſe, when after their Manner; they queſtion and maintain Diſputes. Or for a Habit obtain'd by frequent Exerciſes and Rules. Or laſtly, for a Syſteme of Logical Precepts; as when one ſays, The Logick of Ariſtotle, The Logick of Ramus, &c. Logick in the deliver'd Definition, left any one ſhou'd miſtake, is taken for a Habit, which is as it were the End to which Precepts are deſign'd.
Ax. 2. Logick of the third and laſt Acceptation, that is, a Syſtem of Logical Precepts, conſiſts of two Parts, Thematick and Organick.
Ax. 3. The firſt is that which is imploy'd about Theams, and their various Affections, and ſecond Notions, as about the Matter of the Inſtruments of Logick.
Ax. 4. The other converſes about the Organs themſelves, with which the Underſtanding entreats of Themes, and according to its Capacity attains to the Knowledge of them.
