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 ...

that_o break_n forth_o of_o the_o same_o exhalation_n the_o great_a and_o roar_a sound_n which_o the_o piece_n make_v do_v come_v for_o a_o sound_n be_v define_v by_o wise_a man_n to_o be_v no_o other_o thing_n than_o a_o blow_n which_o two_o body_n that_o have_v no_o soul_n or_o life_n do_v make_v together_o therefore_o in_o this_o case_n it_o can_v come_v of_o any_o other_o cause_n than_o of_o the_o blow_n which_o be_v make_v by_o the_o exhalation_n engender_v within_o the_o piece_n and_o the_o air_n without_o the_o piece_n and_o then_o the_o mouth_n of_o the_o piece_n be_v as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o midst_n of_o the_o strife_n do_v always_o suffer_v very_o much_o and_o this_o be_v the_o cause_n that_o the_o piece_n lack_v his_o due_a thickness_n in_o the_o say_a place_n or_o for_o some_o other_o unknown_a fault_n make_v in_o the_o cast_n do_v there_o easy_o break_v gunfounder_n i_o like_v well_o of_o your_o reason_n but_o i_o have_v yet_o a_o other_o doubt_n which_o be_v this_o that_o although_o a_o piece_n do_v most_o common_o break_v at_o the_o breech_n where_o the_o powder_n be_v or_o at_o the_o mouth_n yet_o sometime_o it_o break_v in_o the_o middle_n of_o the_o concavity_n and_o therefore_o i_o do_v great_o desire_v to_o know_v the_o cause_n thereof_o nicholas_n the_o two_o cause_n of_o which_o i_o have_v before_o speak_v be_v general_a cause_n and_o common_o they_o cause_v all_o manner_n of_o piece_n to_o suffer_v general_o in_o the_o say_v two_o place_n more_o than_o in_o any_o other_o place_n but_o beside_o the_o say_v general_a cause_n we_o must_v think_v and_o believe_v that_o many_o other_o cause_n may_v happen_v which_o not_o only_o will_v cause_v any_o piece_n of_o artillery_n to_o suffer_v more_o in_o the_o say_v two_o place_n that_o be_v to_o say_v at_o the_o breech_n where_o the_o powder_n be_v note_n note_n and_o at_o the_o mouth_n but_o also_o in_o the_o middle_a part_n of_o his_o concavitie_n example_n as_o for_o example_n sake_n if_o by_o ill_a hap_n the_o pellet_n run_v along_o in_o the_o concavitie_n find_v any_o little_a stone_n like_o unto_o a_o wedge_n in_o form_n or_o any_o other_o hard_a and_o little_a body_n and_o that_o by_o chance_n the_o pellet_n run_v upon_o that_o stone_n or_o body_n it_o must_v needs_o be_v that_o the_o same_o stone_n or_o body_n shall_v let_v and_o hinder_v the_o move_n of_o that_o pellet_n and_o thereby_o compel_v the_o pellet_n either_o to_o stay_v in_o that_o place_n which_o come_v to_o pass_v when_o the_o pellet_n do_v go_v very_o straight_o or_o hardly_o within_o the_o piece_n or_o else_o that_o pellet_n in_o pass_v through_o the_o piece_n upon_o the_o same_o stone_n or_o body_n make_v a_o little_a leap_n over_o the_o same_o stone_n and_o that_o may_v be_v when_o the_o concavity_n of_o the_o piece_n be_v more_o wide_o than_o the_o height_n or_o thickness_n of_o the_o pellet_n and_o so_o if_o by_o chance_n the_o pellet_n be_v let_v by_o that_o stone_n or_o body_n like_v unto_o a_o wedge_n in_o form_n through_o that_o let_v the_o same_o be_v great_a or_o strong_a the_o piece_n will_v be_v force_v to_o break_v and_o if_o the_o pellet_n shall_v find_v that_o stone_n or_o body_n in_o the_o begin_n of_o his_o way_n the_o piece_n will_v break_v in_o that_o end_n or_o part_v where_o the_o powder_n be_v and_o if_o the_o pellet_n shall_v find_v that_o stone_n or_o body_n in_o the_o midst_n of_o the_o concavitie_n the_o piece_n will_v by_o reason_n break_v in_o the_o middle_a part_n of_o that_o concavitie_n and_o if_o the_o pellet_n shall_v find_v that_o stone_n or_o body_n near_o unto_o the_o mouth_n of_o the_o piece_n than_o it_o will_v break_v at_o the_o mouth_n but_o if_o by_o chance_n the_o pellet_n shall_v have_v room_n to_o pass_v upon_o that_o body_n then_o in_o his_o passage_n as_o before_o have_v be_v say_v it_o will_v of_o necessity_n leap_v up_o and_o thereby_o strike_v the_o uppermoste_a part_n of_o the_o concavitie_n of_o the_o piece_n and_o rebound_v again_o to_o the_o ground_n or_o undermoste_a part_n of_o the_o same_o concavitie_n the_o which_o stroke_n and_o rebound_v can_v be_v of_o so_o little_a force_n but_o that_o it_o be_v able_a to_o cause_v the_o piece_n for_o to_o break_v in_o that_o place_n and_o this_o be_v one_o of_o the_o accidental_a cause_n which_o be_v able_a to_o break_v a_o piece_n in_o any_o place_n also_o when_o a_o pellet_n be_v not_o equal_o round_o or_o be_v in_o one_o part_n more_o high_a than_o in_o a_o other_o the_o piece_n will_v sometime_o break_v about_o the_o mouth_n break_v a_o brass_n piece_n of_o artillery_n be_v make_v hot_a with_o shoot_v be_v apt_a to_o break_v also_o a_o piece_n make_v of_o brass_n mettle_n be_v make_v very_o hot_a by_o often_o shoot_v in_o it_o

more_o high_a you_o do_v shoot_v with_o a_o piece_n by_o so_o much_o that_o piece_n do_v suffer_v more_o than_o any_o other_o piece_n with_o which_o you_o do_v shoot_v level_a also_o in_o cast_v of_o the_o piece_n there_o may_v be_v crack_n and_o hole_n make_v in_o the_o same_o artillery_n you_o may_v learn_v by_o read_v the_o 43._o chapter_n of_o my_o appendix_n to_o know_v whether_o or_o no_o

but_o be_v within_o the_o piece_n we_o can_v see_v they_o and_o thereby_o the_o piece_n be_v more_o weak_a in_o that_o place_n than_o it_o shall_v be_v and_o upon_o this_o occasion_n sometime_o without_o any_o other_o particular_a accident_n the_o piece_n break_v in_o that_o place_n whether_o it_o be_v at_o the_o tail_n or_o at_o the_o mouth_n or_o in_o the_o midst_n sometime_o also_o the_o concavitie_n of_o the_o piece_n be_v not_o make_v precise_o in_o the_o midst_n of_o the_o mettle_n but_o go_v more_o to_o one_o side_n than_o to_o a_o other_o whereby_o the_o mettle_n upon_o the_o one_o side_n of_o the_o piece_n be_v more_o thin_a and_o upon_o the_o other_o side_n more_o thick_a than_o it_o shall_v be_v and_o therefore_o upon_o that_o side_n where_o the_o mettle_n be_v more_o

to_o break_v gunfounder_n you_o have_v at_o large_a satisfy_v i_o in_o all_o my_o doubt_n the_o 2._o corollary_n although_o vannuccio_n biringuccio_n in_o his_o pirotechnia_n call_v they_o liar_n

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

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
