 Rhetoric
Deductive or "enthymematic" reasoning uses generally accepted propositions to derive specific conclusions: Democratic regimes will be more stable and friendlier to the U.S. than non-democratic or authoritarian regimes, therefore a democratic Iraq will be friendlier to the U.S. and more stable than it was under Hussein, or than other non-democratic countries in the region.
Other notable works included Angel Day's The English Secretorie (1586, 1592), George Puttenham's The Arte of English Poesie (1589), and Richard Rainholde's Foundacion of Rhetorike (1563).

 Sir Thomas Elyot
His nephew (his sister Margery's son), George Puttenham (~1529-1591), was an English courtier, generally acknowledged as the author of the anonymous "The Arte of English Poesie (1589)", available online here.
His other sister Eleanor likely became a nun, and little is known of her, possibly she died young.
