inner line be extended to join the point
on the cut, much less is asserted

This means: Somebody is a prophet and this
person is not translated; that is Some
prophet is not translated.

Lines of identity bring no only one new rule of
illative transformation. (Illative transformation,
by the way, is transformation of the nature
of necessary inference.) But lines of identity
require some slight changes to be made in the
three primary rules already given.

Under the rule of omission and insertion,
it is to be noted that a line of identity may be
broken within an even number of cuts
or on the sheet of assertion, while two lines
may be joined within an odd number of
cuts. We also have the curious fact
