| Paragraph 1 |
It is an evident corollary of these conclusions that if the same attribute A inheres in two terms C and D predicable either not at all, or not of all instances, of one another, it does not always belong to them in virtue of a common middle term. |
| Paragraph 2 |
It is also clear that when A inheres in B, this can be demonstrated if there is a middle term. |
| Paragraph 3 |
When we are to prove a conclusion, we must take a primary essential predicate-suppose it C-of the subject B, and then suppose A similarly predicable of C. |
| Paragraph 4 |
(2) If we have to show that E is not D by means of the premisses, all D is C; |
| Paragraph 5 |
(3) In the third figure the middle will never fall beyond the limits of the subject and the attribute denied of it. |
