that_o which_o can_v be_v divide_v a_o point_n or_o sign_n be_v that_o which_o be_v void_a of_o all_o magnitude_n and_o be_v the_o least_o thing_n that_o by_o mind_n and_o understanding_n can_v be_v

quantity_n but_o only_o the_o term_n or_o end_n of_o quantity_n and_o herein_o a_o point_n in_o geometry_n differ_v from_o unity_n in_o number_n 2._o a_o line_n be_v a_o length_n without_o breadth_n or_o thickness_n a_o line_n be_v create_v or_o make_v by_o the_o move_a or_o draw_v out_o of_o a_o point_n from_o one_o place_n to_o another_o so_o the_o line_n ab_fw-la be_v make_v by_o move_v of_o

magnitude_n in_o geometry_n viz._n length_n breadth_n and_o thickness_n a_o line_n be_v the_o first_o consist_v of_o length_n only_o and_o therefore_o the_o line_n ab_fw-la be_v capable_a of_o division_n in_o length_n only_o and_o may_v be_v divide_v equal_o in_o the_o point_n c_o or_o unequal_o in_o d_o and_o the_o like_a but_o will_v admit_v of_o no_o other_o dimension_n 3._o the_o end_n or_o bound_n of_o a_o line_n be_v point_n this_o be_v to_o be_v understand_v of_o a_o finite_a line_n only_o as_o be_v the_o line_n ab_fw-la the_o end_n or_o bound_n whereof_o be_v the_o point_v a_o

the_o line_n infinite_a and_o the_o end_n or_o bound_n thereof_o undeterminate_a 4._o a_o right_a line_n be_v that_o which_o lie_v equal_o between_o his_o point_n as_o the_o right_a line_n ab_fw-la lie_v straight_a and_o equal_a between_o the_o point_v a_o and_z b_o which_o be_v the_o bound_n thereof_o without_o bow_v and_o be_v the_o short_a of_o all_o other_o line_n that_o can_v be_v draw_v between_o those_o two_o point_n 5._o a_o superficies_n be_v that_o which_o have_v only_a length_n and_o breadth_n as_o the_o motion_n of_o a_o point_n produce_v a_o line_n the_o first_o kind_n of_o magnitude_n so_o the_o motion_n of_o a_o line_n produce_v a_o superficies_n which_o be_v the_o second_o kind_n of_o magnitude_n and_o be_v capable_a of_o two_o dimension_n namely_o length_n and_o breadth_n and_o so_o the_o superficies_n abcd_n may_v be_v divide_v in_o length_n from_o a_o to_o b_o and_o also_o in_o breadth_n from_o a_o to_o c._n 6._o the_o extreme_n of_o a_o superficies_n be_v line_n as_o the_o extreme_n or_o end_n of_o a_o line_n be_v point_n so_o the_o extreme_n or_o bound_n of_o a_o superficies_n be_v line_n and_o so_o the_o extreme_n or_o end_n of_o the_o superficies_n abcd_n be_v the_o line_n ab_fw-la bd_o dc_o and_o ca_n which_o be_v the_o term_n or_o limit_n thereof_o 7._o a_o plain_a superficies_n be_v that_o which_o lie_v equal_o between_o his_o line_n so_o the_o superficies_n abcd_n lie_v direct_a and_o equal_o between_o his_o line_n and_o whatsoever_o be_v say_v of_o a_o right_a line_n the_o same_o be_v also_o to_o be_v understand_v of_o a_o plain_a superficies_n 8._o a_o plain_a angle_n be_v the_o inclination_n or_o bow_v of_o two_o line_n the_o one_o to_o the_o other_o the_o one_o touch_v the_o other_o &_o not_o be_v direct_o join_v together_o as_o the_o two_o line_n ab_fw-la and_z bc_n incline_v the_o one_o to_o the_o other_o and_o touch_v one_o another_o in_o the_o point_n b_o in_o which_o point_n by_o reason_n of_o the_o inclination_n of_o the_o say_a line_n be_v make_v the_o angle_n abc_n but_o if_o the_o two_o line_n which_o touch_v each_o other_o be_v without_o inclination_n and_o be_v draw_v direct_o one_o to_o the_o other_o than_o they_o make_v no_o angle_n at_o all_o as_o the_o line_n cd_o and_o de_fw-fr touch_v each_o other_o in_o the_o point_n d_o and_o yet_o they_o make_v no_o angle_n but_o one_o continue_v right_a line_n ¶_o and_o here_o note_n that_o a_o angle_n common_o be_v sign_v by_o three_o letter_n the_o middlemost_a whereof_o show_v

the_o angular_a point_n as_o in_o this_o figure_n when_o we_o say_v the_o angle_n abc_n you_o be_v to_o understand_v the_o very_a point_n at_o b_o and_o note_v also_o that_o the_o length_n of_o the_o side_n contain_v any_o angle_n as_o the_o side_n ab_fw-la and_z bc_n do_v not_o make_v the_o angle_n abc_n either_o great_a or_o lesser_a but_o the_o angle_n still_o retain_v the_o same_o quantity_n be_v the_o contain_v side_n thereof_o either_o long_o or_o short_a 9_o and_o if_o the_o line_n which_o contain_v the_o angle_n be_v right_a line_n then_o be_v it_o call_v a_o right_n line_v angle_n so_o the_o angle_n abc_n be_v a_o right_n line_v angle_n because_o the_o line_n ab_fw-la and_z bc_n which_o contain_v the_o say_a angle_n be_v right_a line_n and_o of_o right_n line_v angle_n there_o be_v three_o sort_n who_o definition_n follow_v 10._o when_o a_o right_a line_n stand_v upon_o a_o right_a line_n make_v the_o angle_n on_o either_o side_n equal_a then_o either_o of_o those_o angle_n be_v a_o right_a angle_n and_o the_o right_a line_n which_o stand_v erect_v be_v call_v a_o perpendicular_a line_n to_o that_o whereon_o it_o stand_v as_o upon_o the_o right_a line_n cd_o suppose_v there_o do_v stand_v another_o right_a line_n ab_fw-la in_o such_o sort_n that_o it_o make_v the_o angle_n on_o either_o side_n thereof_o equal_a namely_o the_o angle_n abdella_n on_o the_o one_o side_n equal_a to_o the_o angle_n abc_n on_o the_o other_o side_n then_o be_v either_o of_o the_o two_o angle_n abc_n and_o abdella_n right_a angle_n and_o the_o right_a line_n ab_fw-la which_o stand_v erect_v upon_o the_o right_a line_n cd_o without_o incline_v to_o either_o part_n thereof_o be_v a_o perpendicular_a to_o the_o line_n cd_o 11._o a_o obtuse_a angle_n be_v that_o which_o be_v great_a than_o a_o right_a angle_n so_o the_o angle_n cbe_n be_v a_o obtuse_a angle_n because_o it_o be_v great_a than_o the_o angle_n abc_n which_o be_v a_o right_a angle_n for_o it_o do_v not_o only_o contain_v that_o right_a angle_n but_o the_o angle_n abe_n also_o and_o therefore_o be_v obtuse_a 12._o a_o acute_a angle_n be_v less_o than_o a_o right_a angle_n so_o the_o angle_n ebb_v be_v a_o acute_a angle_n for_o it_o be_v less_o than_o the_o right_a angle_n abdella_n in_o which_o it_o be_v contain_v by_o the_o other_o acute_a angle_n abe_n 13._o a_o limit_n or_o term_n be_v the_o end_n of_o every_o thing_n as_o a_o point_n be_v the_o limit_n or_o term_v of_o a_o line_n because_o it_o be_v the_o end_n thereof_o so_o a_o line_n likewise_o be_v the_o limit_n and_o term_v of_o a_o superficies_n and_o a_o superficies_n be_v the_o limit_n and_o term_v of_o a_o body_n 14._o a_o figure_n be_v that_o which_o be_v contain_v under_o one_o limit_n or_o term_n or_o many_o as_o the_o
