The Englishman himself was rather at a loss for the vis consequentiae, and replied, "Why don't you live, and learn, and teach like civilized beings, and not assemble like wild asses pardon me, my friend, for the simile at least like wild colts, in such clusters behind the ditches?" "A clusther of wild coults!" said Mat; "that shows what you are; no man of classical larnin' would use such a word.
"Ay," says Mat, changing his tone, and taking the cue from his friend, whose learning he dreaded, "it's just for argument's sake, a hedge-school; and, what is more, I scorn to be ashamed of it." "And do you not teach occasionally under the hedge behind the house here?" "Granted," replied Mat; "and now where's your vis consequentiae?"
Besides this, I say, we further maintain, that in the use of things indifferent, that which we deliberate upon to do is never lawful to be done except it be also necessary, though not necessitate absoluta seu consequentis, yet necessitate consequentiae seu ex suppositione.
"Yes," subjoined the other, "produce your vis consequentiae; but any one may know by a glance that the divil a much of it's about you."
