A15724	A discouerie of sundrie errours and faults daily committed by lande-meaters, ignorant of arithmetike and geometrie, to the damage, and preiudice of many her Maiesties subiects with manifest proofe that none ought to be admitted to that function, but the learned practisioners of those sciences: written dialoguewise, according to a certaine communication had of that matter. By Edward Worsop, Londoner. Euery one that measureth land by laying head to head, or can take a plat by some geometricall instrument, is not to be accounted therfore a sufficient landmeater, except he can also prooue his instruments, and measurings, by true geometricall demonstrations.	Worsop, Edward.	1582 (1582)	STC 25997; ESTC S120271	43,934	78

cause_n why_o learned_a writer_n in_o the_o best_a language_n use_v the_o greek_a term_n in_o all_o their_o work_n be_v because_o reader_n of_o their_o book_n shall_v compare_v they_o with_o greek_a and_o latin_a author_n in_o who_o they_o shall_v find_v the_o self_n same_o term_n whereby_o the_o knowledge_n of_o these_o science_n be_v much_o easy_o attain_v unto_o for_o if_o a_o man_n find_v

of_o they_o ihonson_n i_o think_v very_o before_o you_o tell_v these_o cause_n that_o you_o and_o your_o friend_n for_o who_o you_o have_v write_v this_o book_n have_v devise_v term_n much_o like_o

too_o far_o in_o that_o book_n lest_o you_o fetch_v one_o up_o that_o will_v ask_v what_o he_o shall_v do_v and_o if_o you_o can_v appoint_v he_o nothing_o neither_o know_v how_o to_o lay_v he_o
