CONSEQUENCE, in Logic, the conclusion or
what results from reason or argument. See CONCLU-
SION.
The consequence is that other proposition in which
the extremes or premises of a syllogism are joined, or
separated; and is gained from what was asserted in the
premises.
This word, in a more restrained sense, is used for the
relation or connection between two propositions, where-
of one is inferred from the other.
