Thesis 9.6

Latin

Qui crediderit intentionem dici de omni esse aliam ab ea quam dixit praecedens conclusio defendere non potest Aristotelem a Theophrasto, quod ex maiori necessaria et minori inuenta sequatur conclusio necessaria.

Copy-text: Farmer 1998, line 13876

English

Anyone who takes 'said of every' to mean something other than what the previous conclusion stated cannot defend Aristotle against Theophrastus's claim that a necessary conclusion follows from a necessary major premise together with a contingent minor.
