 1      I,  2 |        true, primary, immediate, better known than and prior to
 2      I,  2 |        causes of the conclusion, better known than it, and prior
 3      I,  2 |        as well. Now "prior" and "better known" are ambiguous terms,
 4      I,  2 |        between what is prior and better known in the order of being
 5      I,  2 |      being and what is prior and better known to man. I mean that
 6      I,  2 |    nearer to sense are prior and better known to man; objects without
 7      I,  2 |          qualification prior and better known are those further
 8      I,  2 |   them-beforehand, but know them better than the conclusion: for
 9      I,  2 |     knowledge of it or something better than actual knowledge. But
10      I,  2 |          he must not only have a better knowledge of the basic truths
11      I,  2 |          must be more certain or better known to him than these
12      I,  3 |        on premisses prior to and better known than the conclusion;
13      I,  3 |       which proceeds from truths better known to us, is not demonstration
14      I,  9 |      This is so because he knows better whose knowledge is deduced
15      I,  9 |     uncaused: hence, if he knows better than others or best of all,
16      I,  13|         instead of the cause the better known of the two reciprocals
17      I,  13|          may quite easily be the better known and so become the
18      I,  13| reciprocal and the effect is the better known, the fact is demonstrated
19      I,  22|        one cannot have something better than knowledge, nor can
20      I,  22|    antecedent nor have something better than knowledge of it, then
21      I,  22| therefore, we have not something better than knowledge of them,
22      I,  24|        arises, which form is the better? And the same question may
23      I,  24|       know Coriscus the musician better when we know that Coriscus
24      I,  25|      middles which are prior are better known than such as are posterior,
25      I,  25|        second proof), but A-D is better known than and prior to
26      I,  25|     which a truth is proved is a better known and more certain truth,
27      I,  25|   demonstration, being prior and better known and more certain,
28      I,  25|      proposition is prior to and better known than the negative (
29      I,  26|     negative propositions is the better known, the one denying A
30      I,  26|         of the conclusion is the better known, we use reductio ad
31      I,  26|         that which proceeds from better known and prior premisses,
32     II,  13|        at the start and to be no better than an initial assumption
