Resp 1. Neg. Major. Because 1. The Subject is changed: You were to have spoken of the first Act commanded, and you speak of the first Act commanding, in the first Member. You should have said, (Else the first Act may be commanded sub Poenâ injustâ, and yet be in it self lawful] which is true.
2. Because in the second Member where you should have spoken only of the commanded Circumstances of the Act, you now speak of all its Circumstances whether commanded or not.
3. We undertook not to give you all our Reasons: The Minor may be false upon many other Reasons.
