body_n of_o this_o kind_n of_o magnitude_n and_o quantity_n the_o subject_n be_v body_n and_o because_o for_o the_o compute_v of_o the_o magnitude_n of_o body_n it_o be_v not_o necessary_a that_o the_o body_n themselves_o shall_v be_v present_a the_o idea_n and_o memory_n of_o they_o supply_v their_o presence_n we_o reckon_v upon_o those_o imaginary_a body_n which_o be_v the_o quantity_n

the_o breadth_n so_o broad_a etc._n etc._n but_o in_o the_o mind_n of_o a_o inteligent_a man_n it_o breed_v no_o mistake_n beside_o the_o quantity_n of_o body_n there_o be_v a_o quantity_n of_o time_n for_o see_v man_n without_o absurdity_n do_v ask_v how_o much_o it_o be_v by_o answer_v tantum_n so_o much_o they_o make_v manifest_a there_o be_v a_o a_o quantity_n that_o belong_v unto_o time_n namely_o a_o length_n and_o because_o length_n can_v be_v a_o accident_n of_o time_n which_o be_v itself_o a_o accident_n it_o be_v the_o accident_n of_o a_o body_n and_o consequent_o the_o length_n of_o the_o time_n be_v the_o length_n of_o the_o body_n by_o which_o length_n or_o line_n we_o determine_v how_o much_o the_o time_n be_v suppose_v some_o body_n to_o be_v move_v over_o it_o also_o we_o not_o improper_o ask_v with_o how_o much_o swiftness_n a_o body_n be_v move_v and_o consequent_o there_o be_v a_o quantity_n of_o motion_n or_o swiftness_n and_o the_o measure_n of_o that_o quantity_n be_v also_o a_o line_n but_o then_o again_o we_o must_v suppose_v another_o motion_n which_o determine_v the_o time_n of_o the_o former_a also_o of_o force_n there_o be_v a_o question_n of_o how_o much_o which_o be_v to_o be_v answer_v by_o so_o much_o that_o be_v by_o quantity_n if_o the_o force_n consist_v in_o swiftness_n the_o determination_n be_v the_o same_o with_o that_o of_o swiftness_n namely_o by_o a_o line_n if_o in_o swiftness_n and_o quantity_n of_o body_n joint_o then_o by_o a_o line_n and_o a_o solid_a or_o if_o in_o quantity_n of_o body_n only_o as_o weight_n by_o a_o solid_a only_o so_o also_o be_v number_n quantity_n but_o in_o no_o other_o sense_n then_o as_o a_o line_n be_v quantity_n divide_v into_o equal_a part_n of_o a_o angle_n which_o be_v of_o two_o line_n whatsoever_o they_o be_v meet_v in_o one_o point_n the_o digression_n or_o openess_n in_o other_o point_n it_o may_v be_v ask_v how_o great_a be_v that_o digression_n this_o question_n be_v

body_n those_o ●…ing_a line_n be_v mark_v and_o because_o two_o line_n may_v be_v make_v to_o divaricate_v by_o two_o cause_n one_o when_o have_v one_o end_n common_a and_o immovable_a they_o depart_v one_o from_o another_o at_o the_o other_o end_v circular_o and_o this_o be_v call_v surp_o a_o angle_n and_o the_o quantity_n thereof_o be_v the_o quantity_n of_o the_o arch_n which_o the_o two_o line_n intercept_v the_o other_o cause_n be_v the_o bend_n of_o a_o straight_a line_n into_o a_o circular_a or_o other_o crooked_a line_n till_o it_o touch_v the_o place_n of_o the_o same_o line_n whilst_o it_o be_v straight_o in_o one_o only_a point_n and_o this_o be_v call_v a_o angle_n of_o contingence_n and_o because_o the_o more_o it_o be_v bend_v the_o more_o it_o digress_v from_o the_o

as_o well_o as_o that_o which_o be_v call_v simple_o a_o angle_n and_o in_o case_n the_o digression_n of_o two_o such_o crooked_a line_n from_o the_o tangent_fw-la be_v uniform_a as_o in_o circle_n the_o quantity_n of_o their_o digression_n may_v be_v determine_v for_o if_o a_o straight_a line_n be_v draw_v from_o the_o point_n of_o contact_n the_o digression_n of_o the_o lesser_a circle_n

to_o the_o lesser_a radius_fw-la you_o may_v guess_v by_o this_o what_o will_v become_v of_o that_o part_n of_o your_o last_o book_n where_o you_o handle_v the_o question_n of_o the_o quantity_n of_o a_o angle_n of_o contingence_n also_o there_o lie_v a_o question_n of_o how_o much_o comparative_o one_o magnitude_n be_v to_o another_o magnitude_n as_o how_o much_o water_n be_v in_o a_o tun_n in_o respect_n of_o the_o ocean_n how_o much_o in_o respect_n of_o a_o pi●_n little_a in_o the_o first_o respect_n much_o in_o the_o latter_a therefore_o the_o answer_n must_v be_v make_v by_o some_o

a_o bare_a comparison_n also_o concern_v heat_n light_n and_o divers_a other_o quality_n which_o have_v degree_n there_o lie_v a_o question_n of_o how_o much_o to_o be_v answer_v by_o a_o so_o much_o and_o consequent_o they_o have_v their_o quantity_n though_o the_o same_o with_o the_o quantity_n of_o swiftness_n because_o the_o intention_n and_o remission_n of_o such_o quality_n be_v but_o the_o
