DISCVRSO TREZE.

SEPTIMO PREDICAMENTO. Vbi, ò Donde.

THIRTEENTH DISCOURSE

SEVENTH PREDICAMENT. Ubi, or Where.

De los quatro accidentes vltimos, que admiten Categoria, el primero es Vbi (averbio Latino) interrogante de lugar, ò poſicion en èl, que le correſponde en el Caſtellano el averbio Donde, de que ſon derivativos Por donde, y Adonde, que ſe vèn vſados en eſta Ciencia.

Regarding the last four accidents that admit category, the first is Ubi (Latin adverb) interrogating about place, or position in it, which corresponds in Castilian to the adverb Donde (Where), from which are derived Por donde (By where), and Adonde (To where), which are used in this Science.

Difineſe Donde aſsi: Es accidente, que reſulta de la poſicion adquirida en lugar cierto, y del ſugeto, ò accion, que ſe colocò en èl: v.g. como ſe coloca, ò eſtà colocado cada vno de los combatientes, reſpecto de sì miſmos, y reſpecto de ſu contrario, de que reſulta cierto accidente externo à cada vno, ò al vno, y al otro; de tal ſuerte, que ſe reconozca el termino Donde, en cuya ſignificacion ſe explica la colocacion principal, de que ſe derivan los otros dos adverbios Por donde, y Adonde, y todos tres comprehenden principio cierto: medio, que encamina; ſin, ò termino vltimo: demonſtrando la poſicion, ò como medio, ò como ſin; y en todos terminos eſte accidente ſe conoce por ente real en eſta Ciencia.

Donde is defined as such: It is an accident that results from the acquired position in a certain place, and of the subject, or action, that is placed in it: e.g., how each of the fighters is placed, or is positioned, with respect to themselves, and with respect to their opponent, from which results a certain external accident to each one, or to one, and to the other; in such a way, that the term Donde is recognized, in whose meaning the main placement is explained, from which the other two adverbs Por donde, and Adonde are derived, and all three comprehend certain principle: mean, that guides; end, or final term: demonstrating the position, either as mean, or as end; and in all terms this accident is recognized as a real entity in this Science.

Contra eſta concluſion ſuele argumentarſe, diziendo: Vbi es Predicamento, que termina movimiento local. Eſta nominacion, pues, no es ente real, ſino poſsitivo: luego eſte Predicamento Vbi no es por ente real. A que ſe reſponde: Todo termino terminado, y ſus derivativos admiten ente real: el termino Vbi (lo miſmo que Donde) y ſus derivativos ſignifican propriamente termino terminado: luego el Vbi Predicamental, y ſus derivativos ſe perciben por ente real. La razobn es, porque el adverbio Vbi categoricamente demueſtra la denominacion por lugar, ò poſicion; de tal ſuerte, que ſupone realidad de aquello que tiene ſer preciſo realmente, ora ſe conſidere como principio, ora como medio, ora como ſin. Aquello, pues, que tiene ſer preciſo, y no contingente, es ente real: luego el Predicamento Vbi, y ſus derivativos, admiten ente real, y no ſolamente poſsitivo.

Against this conclusion, it is usually argued, saying: Ubi is a Predicament that ends local movement. This nomination, then, is not a real entity, but positive: therefore this Predicament Ubi is not for a real entity. To which it is answered: Every ended term, and its derivatives admit real entity: the term Ubi (the same as Donde) and its derivatives signify properly ended term: therefore the Ubi Predicamental, and its derivatives are perceived as real entity. The reason is, because the adverb Ubi categorically demonstrates the denomination by place, or position; in such a way, that it supposes reality of that which has a precise being really, either it is considered as principle, either as mean, or as end. Therefore, that which has a precise being, and not contingent, is a real entity: therefore the Predicament Ubi, and its derivatives, admit real entity, and not only positive.

A eſta cauſa, los Diccionarios antiguos, y modernos explican la palabra Vbi como adverbio de lugar preciſo, aunque con diferentes puntuaciones, como Vbi? interrogante: otras, como relativo, que ſignifica Por donde, y aſsi es medial, como concepto preciſo, y terminado, y no como contingente: otras es finitivo, y demueſtra termino de concluſion en lugar determinado, y en todos tres modos es ente real: y como tal, ſe admite en eſta Ciencia, y no como ente poſsitivo, ni como puro ente de razon, ni como objetivo concepto; antes bien en el exercicio ſe percibe, formando ente mathematico procediente del ente real. La razon proque en eſta Ciencia, y ſus operaciones, es preciſo, que ſean reguladas, y entendidas por eſte adverbio, y ſus derivativos, es, porque ninguna accion, ò termine, puede ſer ſin ocupar lugar, ſegun los terminos de eſte Predicamento, à cauſa que las Treta, que ſean hazen rigiendo el inſtrumento Eſpada, es neceſſario que tengan principio, De donde ſe comiençen, tranſito Por donde ſe encaminen, y ſin determinado, Adonde ſe executen, diſponiendoſe por eſtos terminos à la perfeccion, que el vulgo llama Deſtreza, con que ſe conſigue la defenſa propria, y la ofenſa en el contrario opueſto, para cuya inteligencia ſe forma Schema.

For this reason, the ancient and modern dictionaries explain the word Ubi as an adverb of precise place, although with different punctuations, like Ubi? questioning: others, as relative, that means Por donde, and thus it is medial, as a precise and finished concept, and not as a contingent one: in others it is finite, and demonstrates term of conclusion in a determined place, and in all three modes it is real entity: and as such, it is admitted in this Science, and not as positive entity, nor as pure entity of reason, nor as objective concept; rather in the exercise it is perceived, forming a mathematical entity proceeding from the real entity. The reason why in this Science, and its operations, it is necessary, that they be regulated, and understood by this adverb, and its derivatives, is, because no action, or term, can be without occupying a place, according to the terms of this Predicament, because the Tactics, that are done governing the instrument Sword, it is necessary that they have a principle, De donde they begin, transit Por donde they guide, and determined end, Adonde they execute, disposing themselves by these terms to the perfection, that the common people call Dexterity, with which is achieved the own defense, and the offense in the opposite opponent, for whose intelligence a Schema is formed.
