chapter_n of_o his_o clavis_fw-la mathematicae_fw-la where_o he_o say_v that_o 43_o 7_o be_v the_o proportion_n of_o 31_o to_o 7_o for_o his_o meaning_n be_v that_o the_o proportion_n of_o 43_o 7_o

they_o must_v needs_o also_o come_v near_o and_o near_o to_o subquadruple_a and_o you_o may_v as_o well_o conclude_v thence_o that_o the_o upper_a quantity_n shall_v be_v to_o the_o low_a quantity_n as_o one_o to_o four_o or_o as_o one_o to_o five_o etc._n etc._n as_o conclude_v they_o be_v as_o one_o to_o three_o you_o can_v see_v without_o admonition_n what_o effect_n this_o false_a ground_n

what_o it_o be_v that_o trouble_v you_o namely_o the_o same_o which_o make_v you_o say_v before_o that_o if_o the_o body_n which_o describe_v a_o line_n be_v a_o point_n than_o there_o be_v nothing_o which_o be_v not_o move_v that_o can_v be_v call_v a_o point_n so_o you_o say_v here_o if_o a_o angle_n be_v generate_v by_o the_o motion_n of_o a_o straight_a line_n than_o no_o angle_n so_o generate_v can_v be_v curvilineall_a which_o be_v as_o well_o argue_v as_o if_o a_o man_n shall_v say_v the_o house_n be_v build_v by_o the_o carriage_n and_o motion_n of_o stone_n and_o timber_n therefore_o when_o the_o carriage_n and_o that_o motion_n be_v end_v it_o be_v no_o more_o a_o house_n rectilineall_a and_o curvilineall_a have_v nothing_o to_o do_v with_o the_o nature_n of_o a_o

tangent_fw-la be_v rectilineall_a but_o compute_v in_o the_o circumference_n not_o rectilineall_a but_o mix_v or_o if_o two_o circle_n cut_v one_o another_o curvilineall_a for_o every_o chord_n make_v the_o same_o angle_n with_o the_o circumference_n which_o it_o make_v with_o the_o line_n that_o touch_v the_o circumference_n at_o the_o end_n of_o the_o chord_n and_o therefore_o when_o i_o divide_v a_o angle_n simple_o so_o call_v into_o rectilineall_a and_o curvilineall_a i_o respect_v no_o more_o the_o generation_n of_o it_o then_o when_o i_o divide_v it_o into_o right_n and_o oblique_a i_o then_o respect_v the_o generation_n when_o i_o divide_v a_o angle_n into_o a_o angle_n simple_o so_o call_v and_o a_o angle_n of_o contact_n this_o that_o i_o have_v now_o say_v if_o the_o reader_n

if_o i_o may_v compute_v the_o same_o angle_n as_o comprehend_v between_o the_o same_o straight_a line_n and_o the_o point_n of_o contact_n that_o it_o be_v consonant_a to_o my_o definition_n of_o a_o
