Thesis 7.28

Latin

Cum Aristoteles dixit ex maiori necessaria et minore inuenta concludi conclusionem necessariam, intelligendum est de minore quae est inuenta per se, necessaria per accidens.

Sheet's slash in 'inuenta/concludi' marks a line division, not punctuation; normalized to a space.

English

Aristotle's claim that a necessary major together with a contingent minor yields a necessary conclusion applies only to a minor premise that is contingent in itself but necessary by accident.
