[158] The third deduces from the negation of a coupled premiss¹ and the affirmation of one of its clauses the opposite of the other clause, as for example ‟It is not both night and day; but it is day; therefore it is not night.” The fourth deduces from a disjunctive premiss and one of its alternative clauses the opposite of the other, as for example ‟Either it is day or it is night; but it is day; therefore it is not night.” The fifth² deduces from a disjunctive premiss and the opposite of one of its clauses the other clause, as for example ‟Either it is day or it is night; but it is not night; therefore it is day.”
