For example this in William of Ockham, Dialogus, pars 1, lib. 7, cap. 34-38: "Et sicut non requitur tanta deliberatio ad simplicem loquelam, sicut ad iuramentum (quia saepe est loquendum et raro iurandum) ita non requiritur tanta deliberatio, cum quis publice docet et praedicat: sicut cum Papa aliquid tanquam catholicum diffinit solenniter." In a legal sense I found this: "Suffice it to say that such arguments are clearly non-requitur, and that denial is inherently a weak defense which cannot prevail over positive identifications."
