Whatever is a common character of many things devoted
by M is likely to be a character of m.

That does not quite [fit ??] the [ferish ??] It does not contain
the idea that the things must have been taken at
random out of those devoted by M.

In what [point ??] of view shall we regard this necessity for a random selection?
Suppose we look at the matter thus. Certain things
have a certain character in common. It follows that these
must be some genus of these things which have the character.
We cannot take any genus lower [than ??] that which they are
selected as belonging to. To take a higher one would involve
a perfectly arbitrary [povfoition].

I am convinced that this is a very awkward
way of taking hold of the matter.

Suppose we take it up another way
for any subject or predicate we can substitute what?
