A10530	The grounde of artes teaching the perfect vvorke and practise of arithmetike, both in whole nu[m]bers and fractions, after a more easie ane exact sort, than hitherto hath bene set forth. Made by M. Robert Recorde, D. in Physick, and afterwards augmented by M. Iohn Dee. And now lately diligently corrected, [and] beautified with some new rules and necessarie additions: and further endowed with a thirde part, of rules of practize, abridged into a briefer methode than hitherto hath bene published: with diverse such necessary rules, as are incident to the trade of merchandize. Whereunto are also added diuers tables [and] instructions ... By Iohn Mellis of Southwark, scholemaster.; Ground of artes	Record, Robert, 1510?-1558.; Dee, John, 1527-1608.; Mellis, John, fl. 1588.	1582 (1582)	STC 20802; ESTC S102132	245,945	706

the_o proof_n a_o other_o example_n subtraction_n scholar_n then_o have_v i_o learn_v the_o two_o first_o kind_n of_o arithmetic_n now_o as_o i_o remember_v do_v follow_v subtraction_n who_o name_n i_o think_v do_v sound_n contrary_a to_o addition_n master_n so_o be_v it_o in_o deed_n for_o as_o addition_n increase_v one_o gross_a sum_n by_o bring_v many_o into_o one_o so_o contrary_a way_n subtraction_n diminish_v a_o gross_a sum_n by_o withdraw_v of_o other_o from_o it_o so_o that_o subtraction_n or_o rebate_v be_v nothing_o else_o but_o a_o art_n to_o withdraw_v and_o abate_v one_o sum_n from_o a_o other_o that_o the_o remainder_n may_v appear_v scholar_n what_o do_v you_o call_v the_o remainder_n master_n that_o you_o may_v perceyve_v by_o the_o name_n scholar_n so_o i_o think_v but_o yet_o it_o be_v good_a to_o ask_v the_o troth_n of_o all_o such_o thing_n jest_n in_o trust_v to_o my_o own_o conjecture_n i_o be_v deceive_v master_n so_o be_v it_o the_o sure_a way_n and_o as_o i_o see_v cause_n i_o will_v still_o declare_v thing_n unto_o you_o so_o plain_o that_o you_o shall_v not_o need_v to_o doubt_n howbeit_o if_o i_o do_v overpasse_v it_o sometime_o as_o the_o manner_n of_o man_n be_v to_o forget_v the_o small_a knowledge_n of_o they_o to_o who_o they_o speak_v then_o do_v you_o put_v i_o in_o remembrance_n yourself_o and_o that_o way_n be_v sure_a and_o as_o for_o this_o word_n that_o you_o last_o ask_v i_o take_v you_o this_o description_n remainder_n remainder_n the_o remainder_n be_v a_o sum_n leave_v after_o due_a subtraction_n make_v which_o declare_v the_o excess_n or_o difference_n of_o the_o two_o other_o number_n as_o if_o i_o will_v abate_v or_o subtract_v 14_o out_o of_o 18_o there_o shall_v remain_v 4_o which_o be_v call_v the_o remayner_n and_o be_v the_o difference_n between_o those_o two_o number_n 14_o &_o 18._o scholar_n i_o perceive_v then_o what_o subtraction_n be_v now_o rest_v to_o know_v the_o order_n to_o work_v it_o master_n that_o shall_v you_o do_v by_o this_o mean_n first_o you_o must_v consider_v ☜_o ☜_o that_o if_o you_o shall_v go_v about_o to_o rebate_v you_o must_v have_v two_o sundry_a sum_n propose_v the_o first_o which_o be_v your_o gross_a sum_n or_o sum_n total_a and_o it_o must_v be_v set_v high_a and_o then_o the_o rebatement_n or_o sum_n to_o be_v withdraw_v which_o must_v be_v set_v under_o the_o first_o whether_o it_o be_v in_o one_o parcel_n or_o in_o many_o and_o that_o in_o such_o sort_n that_o the_o first_o figure_n be_v one_o just_a over_o a_o other_o and_o so_o the_o second_o and_o third_o and_o all_o other_o follow_v as_o you_o do_v in_o addition_n then_o shall_v you_o draw_v under_o they_o a_o line_n and_o so_o be_v your_o sum_n du_o set_v to_o begin_v your_o

that_o right_a under_o they_o beneath_o the_o line_n and_o if_o there_o remain_v nothing_o by_o reason_n that_o the_o 2_o figure_n be_v equal_a then_o write_v under_o they_o a_o cipher_n of_o noughte_v and_o so_o do_v you_o with_o all_o the_o other_o figure_n evermore_o abate_v the_o low_a out_o of_o the_o high_a and_o write_v under_o they_o the_o remainder_n still_o till_o you_o come_v to_o the_o end_n and_o so_o will_v there_o appear_v under_o the_o line_n what_o remain_v of_o your_o gross_a sum_n after_o you_o have_v deduct_v the_o other_o sum_n from_o it_o as_o in_o this_o example_n i_o receive_v of_o your_o father_n 48_o s_o of_o which_o i_o have_v lay_v out_o for_o you_o 36_o s_o now_o will_v i_o know_v what_o do_v remain_v and_o therefore_o i_o set_v my_o number_n thus_o in_o order_n first_o i_o write_v the_o great_a sum_n and_o under_o he_o the_o lesser_a so_o that_o the_o figure_n at_o the_o right_a side_n be_v even_o one_o under_o another_o and_o so_o the_o

figure_n and_o do_v rebate_v 3_o out_o of_o 4_o where_o there_o remain_v 1_o which_o i_o write_v under_o they_o right_a and_o then_o the_o whole_a sum_n and_o operation_n appear_v thus_o whereby_o it_o appear_v that_o if_o i_o withdraw_v 36_o out_o of_o 48_o there_o remain_v 2._o scholar_n now_o will_v i_o prove_v in_o a_o great_a sum_n and_o i_o will_v subtract_v 2367924_o out_o of_o 3468946._o those_o sum_n i_o set_v in_o order_n thus_o then_o do_v i_o begin_v at_o the_o right_a side_n and_o deducte_v 4_o out_o of_o 6_o and_o there_o rest_v 2_o which_o i_o write_v under_o they_o then_o go_v i_o to_o the_o second_o figure_n and_o withdraw_v 2_o out_o of_o 4_o and_o there_o remain_v two_o which_o i_o set_v under_o they_o also_o then_o i_o take_v 9_o out_o of_o 9_o and_o there_o rest_v 0_o which_o i_o write_v under_o they_o for_o you_o say_v that_o if_o the_o figure_n be_v equal_a so_o that_o nothing_o remain_v i_o must_v write_v this_o cipher_n 0_o under_o they_o master_n it_o be_v well_o remember_v now_o go_v forth_o scholar_n then_o i_o come_v to_o the_o four_o place_n and_o draw_v 7_o out_o of_o 8_o and_o there_o remain_v 1_o which_o i_o write_v under_o they_o also_o then_o in_o the_o fifte_a place_n i_o take_v 6_o from_o 6_o and_o there_o rest_v nought_o for_o it_o i_o write_v under_o they_o a_o cipher_n 0_o then_o in_o the_o sixth_o place_n 3_o rebate_v

be_v well_o do_v and_o that_o you_o may_v be_v sure_a to_o perceive_v ful_o the_o art_n of_o subtraction_n let_v i_o see_v how_o can_v you_o subtract_v 52984732_o out_o of_o 8250003456._o scholar_n first_o i_o set_v down_o the_o great_a sum_n and_o after_o that_o i_o write_v under_o if_o the_o lesser_a number_n begin_n at_o the_o right_a side_n and_o then_o my_o figure_n will_v stand_v thus_o then_o take_v i_o 2_o from_o 6_o and_o the_o rest_n be_v 4_o which_o i_o write_v under_o they_o then_o do_v i_o withdraw_v 3_o from_o 5_o and_o there_o remain_v 2_o which_o i_o write_v under_o they_o then_o take_v i_o 7_o out_o of_o 4_o but_o that_o i_o can_v what_o shall_v i_o now_o do_v master_n mark_v well_o what_o i_o shall_v tell_v you_o now_o note_n note_n how_o you_o shall_v do_v in_o this_o case_n and_o in_o all_o other_o like_a if_o any_o figure_n of_o the_o nether_a sum_n be_v great_a than_o the_o figure_n of_o the_o sum_n that_o be_v over_o he_o so_o that_o it_o can_v be_v take_v out_o of_o the_o figure_n over_o he_o then_o must_v you_o put_v 10_o to_o the_o over_o figure_n and_o then_o consider_v how_o much_o it_o be_v and_o out_o of_o that_o whole_a sum_n withdraw_v the_o nether_a figure_n and_o write_v the_o rest_n under_o they_o can_v you_o remember_v this_o scholar_n yes_o that_o i_o trust_v i_o shall_v now_o then_o in_o my_o example_n where_o i_o shall_v have_v take_v 7_o out_o of_o 4_o and_o can_v not_o i_o put_v 10_o to_o that_o 4_o which_o make_v 14_o from_o it_o i_o take_v away_o 7_o and_o there_o rest_v 7_o also_o which_o i_o write_v under_o

you_o must_v add_v one_o still_o to_o the_o figure_n or_o place_n that_o follow_v next_o in_o the_o nether_a line_n as_o in_o this_o example_n there_o follow_v 4_o to_o which_o you_o must_v put_v 1_o

before_o make_v ●_o which_o i_o shall_v take_v out_o of_o 3_o but_o that_o can_v be_v therefore_o must_v i_o put_v to_o it_o also_o 10_o &_o then_o it_o will_v be_v 13_o from_o which_o i_o take_v 5_o and_o there_o rest_v 8_o to_o be_v write_v under_o they_o and_o because_o of_o that_o 10_o add_v to_o the_o 3_o i_o must_v add_v 1_o to_o 8_o that_o follow_v in_o the_o nether_a line_n

what_o a_o fraction_n be_v therefore_o first_o to_o begin_v with_o explication_n of_o this_o name_n fraction_n what_o take_v you_o if_o to_o be_v scholar_n marry_o sir_n i_o think_v a_o fraction_n as_o i_o have_v hear_v it_o often_o name_v to_o be_v a_o break_a number_n that_o be_v to_o say_v to_o be_v no_o whole_a number_n but_o a_o part_n of_o a_o number_n master_n a_o fraction_n in_o deed_n be_v a_o break_a number_n and_o so_o consequent_o the_o part_n of_o another_o number_n but_o that_o must_v be_v understand_v of_o such_o a_o other_o number_n as_o can_v not_o be_v divide_v into_o any_o other_o part_n than_o fraction_n for_o although_o i_o may_v take_v the_o three_o part_n of_o 60_o or_o the_o four_o part_n of_o it_o and_o so_o of_o other_o part_n diverslie_o yet_o these_o part_n be_v not_o proper_o nor_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v call_v fraction_n because_o they_o may_v be_v express_v by_o whole_a number_n for_o the_o three_o part_n of_o it_o be_v 20_o the_o four_o part_n be_v 15_o the_o twelve_o part_n be_v 5_o and_o so_o forth_o of_o other_o part_n which_o all_o be_v whole_a number_n wherefore_o proper_o a_o fraction_n express_v the_o part_n or_o part_n only_o of_o a_o unit_fw-la proper_o what_o a_o fraction_n in_o proper_o that_o be_v to_o say_v that_o the_o number_n which_o be_v the_o whole_a or_o entire_a sum_n of_o any_o fraction_n may_v not_o be_v great_a than_o one_o and_o therefore_o it_o follow_v that_o no_o one_o fraction_n alone_o can_v be_v so_o great_a that_o it_o shall_v make_v 1_o as_o by_o example_n i_o will_v declare_v as_o soon_o as_o i_o have_v teach_v you_o to_o know_v the_o form_n how_o a_o fraction_n be_v express_v or_o represent_v in_o writing_n numeration_n but_o first_o to_o begin_v with_o the_o express_v of_o a_o

as_o i_o will_v anon_o declare_v but_o yet_o more_o in_o numeration_n before_o we_o leave_v it_o you_o must_v understande_v that_o those_o two_o number_n which_o express_v a_o fraction_n have_v
