By necessary premisses are meant those through 10 VIII, 1 | them as well.~The necessary premisses through which the reasoning 11 VIII, 1 | must secure the necessary premisses either by reasoning or by 12 VIII, 1 | cannot reach the required premisses in this way, it is still 13 VIII, 1 | them in so many words. The premisses, other than these, that 14 VIII, 1 | through prosyllogisms the premisses through which the proof 15 VIII, 1 | prove not only the necessary premisses but also some of those which 16 VIII, 1 | the conclusions of these premisses but draw them later one 17 VIII, 2 | consists of a small number of premisses.
