III. shews the nature of fire-works / translated out of Casimir, Diego, Uffano, Hexan, and other authors; to which is added The doctrine of projects applyed to gunnery by those late famous authors Galilæus and Torricellio now rendred into English ; together with some excellent observations out of Mersennus and other famous authors. 1672 (1672) Wing T65; ESTC R29235 142,431 179

point_n curry_v its_o shot_n 4000_o pace_n elevate_v at_o one_o point_n aught_o to_o curry_v the_o six_o part_n at_o two_o point_n the_o three_o and_o at_o three_o point_n the_o half_a of_o that_o range_v but_o the_o thing_n fall_v out_o far_o otherwise_o for_o be_v elevate_v to_o one_o point_n it_o curry_v 1032_o instead_o of_o 666_o which_o be_v the_o six_o part_n of_o that_o same_o great_a range_v 4000_o at_o the_o second_o point_n and_o note_v that_o with_o this_o mounture_n piece_n carry_v always_o the_o half_a of_o the_o great_a range_v in_o our_o case_n will_v curry_v 2000_o in_o stead_n of_o 1333_o which_o be_v the_o three_o part_n at_o the_o three_o point_n it_o will_v curry_v 2824_o instead_o of_o 2000_o which_o be_v the_o half_a of_o the_o great_a range_v at_o the_o four_o point_n it_o will_v curry_v 3464_o instead_o of_o 2666_o at_o the_o five_o point_n it_o will_v curry_v 3860_o in_o stead_n of_o 2333_o which_o be_v 5_o sixth_n of_o that_o great_a range_v see_v therefore_o how_o that_o increase_a equal_o the_o mounture_n of_o the_o piece_n that_o be_v shoot_v first_o at_o one_o point_n only_o then_o at_o two_o three_o four_o etc._n etc._n unto_o the_o six_o the_o increase_v of_o the_o length_n of_o the_o range_v do_v not_o increase_v equal_o that_o be_v with_o the_o same_o proportion_n wherewith_o the_o *_o randons_n increase_n but_o the_o first_o

derive_v some_o rule_n from_o the_o experiment_n it_o be_v necessary_a to_o make_v they_o exact_o at_o all_o the_o grade_n of_o randons_n in_o all_o sort_n of_o piece_n with_o all_o variety_n of_o

one_o sole_a proposition_n of_o galileo_n in_o which_o first_o of_o all_o man_n he_o have_v advertise_v and_o teach_v we_o that_o pro●ects_n do_v all_o move_v in_o a_o parabolical_a line_n upon_o this_o supposition_n we_o will_v ground_v the_o instrument_n promise_v and_o though_o by_o the_o impediment_n of_o the_o medium_n the_o parabola_n become_v too_o deform_v or_o by_o many_o other_o accident_n the_o range_v prove_v very_o inconstant_a yet_o it_o suffice_v we_o to_o have_v give_v indubitable_a satisfaction_n to_o the_o school_n of_o mathematician_n if_o not_o to_o that_o of_o gunner_n before_o we_o set_v down_o the_o make_n of_o our_o square_n which_o consist_v only_o in_o describe_v one_o single_a semicircle_n we_o will_v divide_v the_o ordinary_a quadrant_n into_o unequal_a point_n so_o as_o they_o may_v not_o measure_v the_o randons_n of_o the_o piece_n but_o the_o length_n of_o the_o range_v which_o be_v that_o that_o serve_v to_o our_o purpose_n thus_o we_o shall_v be_v assure_v that_o the_o gun_n if_o it_o shall_v be_v elevate_v to_o one_o point_n of_o the_o say_a quadrant_n shall_v carry_v to_o such_o a_o distance_n whatever_o it_o be_v and_o elevate_v to_o two_o point_n shall_v precise_o double_v that_o range_v and_o if_o to_o three_o it_o shall_v carry_v three_o of_o those_o space_n if_o to_o four_o and_o a_o half_a it_o shall_v carry_v four_o and_o a_o half_a if_o to_o five_o and_o a_o quarter_n it_o shall_v carry_v five_o and_o a_o quarter_n and_o thus_o until_o you_o come_v to_o the_o six_o point_n shall_v the_o point_n of_o the_o quadrant_n in_o the_o instrument_n and_o the_o space_n of_o the_o range_v in_o the_o field_n always_o increase_v in_o the_o same_o manner_n and_o with_o the_o same_o proportion_n and_o from_o the_o six_o to_o the_o twelve_o point_n they_o shall_v go_v in_o the_o same_o manner_n decrease_v the_o construction_n and_o demonstration_n be_v geometrical_o take_v from_o the_o proposition_n which_o we_o have_v make_v the_o first_o of_o this_o our_o book_n of_o project_n which_o by_o the_o amplitude_n give_v teach_v we_o to_o find_v the_o elevation_n and_o it_o serve_v in_o common_a for_o whatsoever_o

of_o the_o five_o point_n it_o curry_v 2000_o and_o take_v notice_n by_o the_o way_n that_o instead_o of_o perform_v this_o operation_n with_o the_o point_v 7_o 8_o 9_o 10_o 11_o and_z 12_o it_o may_v
