A13381	Three bookes of colloquies concerning the arte of shooting in great and small peeces of artillerie, variable randges, measure, and waight of leaden, yron, and marble stone pellets, minerall saltepeeter, gunpowder of diuers sortes, and the cause why some sortes of gunpower are corned, and some sortes of gunpowder are not corned: written in Italian, and dedicated by Nicholas Tartaglia vnto the Royall Prince of most famous memorie Henrie the eight, late King of England, Fraunce, and Ireland, defender of the faith &c. And now translated into English by Cyprian Lucar Gent. who hath also augmented the volume of the saide colloquies with the contents of euery colloquie, and with all the corollaries and tables, that are in the same volume. Also the said Cyprian Lucar hath annexed vnto the same three books of colloquies a treatise named Lucar Appendix ...

have_v bring_v i_o into_o a_o other_o great_a doubt_n for_o you_o have_v say_v if_o you_o do_v well_o remember_v that_o the_o pellet_n which_o do_v fly_v out_o of_o the_o mouth_n of_o a_o piece_n do_v not_o fly_v in_o any_o part_n of_o his_o way_n in_o aright_o line_n except_o it_o be_v shoot_v right_o up_o towards_o heaven_n nicho._n or_o right_o down_o towards_o the_o centre_n of_o the_o world_n duke_n i_o grant_v this_o that_o shoot_v right_o up_o towards_o heaven_n or_o right_o down_o towards_o the_o centre_n of_o the_o world_n the_o pellet_n do_v fly_v altogether_o in_o a_o right_a line_n and_o also_o that_o in_o both_o those_o way_n the_o pellet_n do_v fly_v much_o more_o in_o a_o right_a line_n than_o at_o any_o other_o elevation_n of_o the_o piece_n or_o in_o any_o other_o way_n whatsoever_o but_o i_o do_v not_o believe_v for_o it_o be_v unlikely_a that_o in_o all_o other_o way_n except_v in_o those_o two_o the_o pellet_n do_v in_o no_o part_n of_o his_o way_n fly_v in_o a_o

right_a line_n as_o you_o judge_v about_o 200_o pace_n now_o if_o you_o have_v find_v by_o reason_n that_o the_o say_v range_v of_o 200_o pace_n be_v not_o altogether_o in_o a_o right_a line_n i_o will_v believe_v you_o and_o grant_v that_o which_o you_o have_v speak_v but_o if_o such_o a_o piece_n can_v shoot_v 200_o pace_n in_o a_o right_a line_n will_v you_o not_o grant_v that_o such_o a_o

so_o crooked_o ground_n a_o pellet_n go_v out_o of_o the_o mouth_n of_o a_o piece_n with_o great_a swiftness_n which_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o that_o pellet_n for_o a_o little_a time_n range_v in_o

that_o move_a it_o be_v make_v the_o more_o light_a the_o more_o light_a a_o body_n be_v the_o more_o easy_o will_v the_o air_n bear_v it_o true_o your_o excellency_n can_v not_o have_v better_o answer_v than_o you_o have_v do_v in_o say_v that_o the_o great_a swiftness_n be_v the_o proper_a cause_n to_o make_v the_o pellet_n fly_v if_o it_o be_v possible_a in_o a_o right_a line_n and_o likewise_o that_o the_o lack_n of_o swiftness_n in_o the_o pellet_n be_v the_o proper_a cause_n to_o make_v it_o go_v and_o decline_v crookedlie_o in_o his_o way_n towards_o the_o ground_n and_o that_o by_o how_o much_o the_o say_a swiftness_n decrease_v by_o so_o much_o it_o make_v his_o declination_n or_o crookedness_n the_o great_a for_o all_o this_o come_v so_o to_o pass_v because_o every_o heavy_a body_n drive_v violent_o through_o the_o air_n by_o how_o much_o the_o more_o swift_a it_o fly_v by_o so_o much_o in_o that_o move_a it_o be_v make_v the_o more_o light_a and_o therefore_o it_o go_v more_o right_o in_o the_o air_n because_o the_o more_o light_a a_o body_n be_v the_o more_o easy_o will_v the_o air_n bear_v it_o notwithstanding_o to_o work_v his_o effect_n in_o that_o move_n it_o take_v a_o more_o great_a weight_n than_o his_o own_o therefore_o by_o how_o much_o a_o heavy_a body_n move_v do_v go_v more_o swift_a increase_n by_o how_o much_o a_o heavy_a body_n violent_o move_v do_v go_v more_o swift_a by_o so_o much_o it_o do_v work_v the_o more_o great_a effect_n in_o all_o thing_n which_o resist_v the_o same_o likewise_o by_o how_o much_o the_o swiftness_n thereof_o do_v more_o decrease_n by_o so_o much_o in_o that_o move_a the_o weight_n thereof_o which_o draw_v the_o say_v heavy_a body_n towards_o the_o ground_n do_v more_o increase_n by_o so_o much_o it_o do_v work_v the_o more_o great_a effect_n in_o all_o thing_n which_o resist_v the_o same_o likewise_o by_o how_o much_o the_o swiftness_n thereof_o do_v more_o decrease_n by_o so_o much_o in_o that_o move_a the_o weight_n thereof_o do_v more_o increase_n the_o which_o weight_n provoke_v and_o draw_v the_o say_v heavy_a body_n towards_o the_o ground_n but_o to_o work_v his_o effect_n in_o that_o move_a it_o be_v more_o light_a or_o of_o less_o weight_n and_o therefore_o it_o make_v the_o less_o effect_n duke_n i_o do_v like_o well_o of_o this_o your_o discourse_n be_v the_o more_o swift_a a_o pellet_n do_v fly_v in_o the_o air_n the_o more_o light_a it_o be_v &_o contrary_a wise_a the_o more_o sloer_n that_o the_o pellet_n fly_v the_o more_o heavy_a it_o be_v therefore_o proceed_v on_o in_o the_o same_o nicho._n then_o i_o say_v that_o of_o these_o aforesaid_a thing_n which_o by_o natural_a reason_n have_v be_v prove_v this_o conclusion_n do_v spring_n that_o the_o more_o swift_a the_o pellet_n do_v fly_v in_o the_o air_n the_o more_o light_a it_o be_v and_o contrariwise_o the_o more_o sloer_n that_o the_o pellet_n do_v fly_v the_o more_o heavy_a it_o be_v duke_n all_o this_o be_v true_a nicho._n i_o say_v also_o that_o when_o there_o be_v more_o weight_n in_o the_o pellet_n then_o be_v there_o a_o more_o provocation_n thereby_o to_o shoot_v the_o say_a pellet_n towards_o the_o centre_n of_o the_o world_n that_o be_v to_o say_v towards_o the_o ground_n duke_n it_o be_v so_o as_o you_o say_v nicho._n now_o to_o conclude_v our_o say_a purpose_n we_o will_v suppose_v that_o all_o the_o range_n which_o the_o pellet_n be_v shoot_v our_o of_o the_o culvering_a may_v make_v or_o have_v make_v be_v all_o the_o line_n a_o b_o c_o d._n and_o if_o it_o be_v possible_a for_o any_o part_n thereof_o to_o be_v perfect_o right_a i_o will_v suppose_v the_o same_o part_n to_o be_v a_o b_o and_o divide_v the_o same_o part_n into_o two_o
