solid_a as_o have_v its_o vertex_fw-la in_o the_o centre_n and_o the_o several_a side_n expose_v to_o view_n and_o of_o this_o sort_n there_o be_v only_o three_o the_o octohedron_n the_o icosahedron_n of_o both_o which_o the_o base_a be_v a_o triangle_n and_o the_o dodecahedron_n who_o base_a be_v a_o quincangle_n 26._o a_o octohedron_n be_v a_o solid_a figure_n which_o be_v contain_v by_o eight_o

28._o a_o dodecahedron_n be_v a_o solid_a which_o be_v contain_v by_o twelve_o equal_a pentagon_n equilateral_a and_o equiangle_v as_o in_o fig._n 20._o 29._o a_o regular_a compound_n solid_n be_v

concern_v the_o description_n of_o the_o several_a sort_n of_o continue_a quantity_n line_n plain_n and_o solid_n we_o will_v in_o the_o next_o place_n consider_v the_o way_n and_o mean_n by_o which_o

circular_a every_o magnitude_n must_v be_v measure_v by_o some_o know_a kind_n of_o measure_n as_o line_n by_o line_n superficies_n by_o superficies_n and_o solid_n by_o solid_n as_o if_o i_o be_v to_o measure_v the_o breadth_n of_o a_o river_n or_o height_n of_o a_o turret_n this_o must_v be_v do_v by_o a_o right_a line_n which_o be_v apply_v to_o the_o breadth_n or_o height_n desire_v to_o be_v measure_v shall_v show_v the_o perch_n foot_n or_o inch_n or_o by_o some_o other_o know_v measure_n the_o breadth_n or_o height_n desire_v but_o if_o the_o quantity_n of_o some_o field_n or_o meadow_n or_o any_o other_o plain_a be_v desire_v the_o number_n of_o square_a perch_n must_v be_v inquire_v and_o last_o in_o measure_v of_o solid_n we_o must_v use_v the_o cube_n of_o the_o measure_n use_v that_o we_o discover_v the_o number_n of_o those_o cube_n that_o be_v contain_v in_o the_o body_n or_o solid_a to_o be_v measure_v first_o therefore_o we_o will_v speak_v of_o the_o several_a kind_n of_o measure_n and_o the_o make_n of_o such_o instrument_n by_o which_o the_o quantity_n of_o any_o magnitude_n may_v be_v know_v 2._o now_o for_o the_o measure_n of_o line_n and_o superficies_n the_o measure_n in_o use_n with_o we_o be_v inch_n foot_n yard_n ell_n and_o perch_n 3._o a_o inch_n be_v three_o barley_n corn_n in_o length_n and_o be_v either_o divide_v into_o half_n and_o quarter_n which_o be_v among_o artificer_n most_o usual_a or_o into_o ten_o equal_a part_n which_o be_v in_o measure_v the_o most_o useful_a way_n of_o division_n 4._o a_o foot_n contain_v twelve_o inch_n in_o length_n and_o be_v common_o so_o divide_v but_o as_o for_o such_o thing_n as_o be_v to_o be_v measure_v by_o the_o foot_n it_o be_v far_o better_a for_o use_v when_o divide_v into_o ten_o equal_a part_n and_o each_o ten_o into_o ten_o more_o 5._o a_o yard_n contain_v three_o foot_n and_o be_v common_o divide_v into_o half_n and_o quarter_n the_o which_o for_o the_o measure_n of_o such_o thing_n as_o be_v usual_o sell_v in_o shop_n do_v well_o enough_o but_o in_o the_o measure_n of_o any_o superficies_n it_o be_v much_o better_a to_o be_v divide_v into_o 10_o or_o 100_o equal_a part_n 6._o a_o ell_n contain_v three_o foot_n nine_o inch_n and_o be_v usual_o divide_v into_o half_n and_o quarter_n and_o need_v not_o be_v otherwise_o divide_v because_o we_o have_v no_o use_n for_o this_o measure_n but_o in_o shop_n commodity_n 7._o a_o pole_n or_o perch_n cotain_v five_o yard_n and_o a_o half_a and_o have_v be_v common_o divide_v into_o foot_n and_o half_a foot_n forty_o pole_n in_o length_n do_v make_v one_o furlong_n and_o eight_o furlong_n in_o length_n do_v make_v a_o english_a mile_n and_o for_o these_o kind_n of_o of_o length_n a_o chain_n contain_v four_o pole_n divide_v by_o link_n of_o a_o foot_n long_o or_o a_o chain_n of_o fifty_o foot_n or_o what_o other_o length_n you_o please_v be_v well_o enough_o but_o in_o the_o measure_n of_o land_n in_o which_o the_o number_n of_o square_a perch_n be_v require_v the_o chain_n call_v mr._n gunter_n be_v four_o pole_n in_o length_n divide_v into_o 100_o link_n be_v not_o without_o just_a reason_n repute_v the_o most_o useful_a 8._o the_o make_n of_o these_o several_a measure_n be_v not_o difficult_a a_o foot_n may_v be_v make_v by_o repeat_v a_o inch_n upon_o a_o ruler_n twelve_o time_n a_o yard_n be_v eight_o foot_n and_o so_o of_o the_o rest_n the_o subdivision_n of_o a_o foot_n or_o inch_n into_o half_n and_o quarter_n may_v be_v perform_v by_o the_o seventeen_o of_o the_o first_o and_o into_o ten_o or_o any_o other_o part_n by_o the_o first_o proposition_n of_o the_o first_o chapter_n and_o all_o scale_n of_o equal_a part_n of_o what_o scantling_n you_o do_v desire_v and_o this_o i_o think_v be_v as_o much_o as_o needs_o to_o be_v say_v concern_v the_o divide_n of_o such_o instrument_n as_o be_v useful_a in_o the_o measure_n right_o line_n 9_o the_o next_o thing_n to_o be_v consider_v be_v the_o measure_n of_o circular_a line_n or_o perfect_a circle_n 10._o and_o every_o circle_n be_v suppose_v to_o be_v divide_v into_o 360_o part_n call_v degree_n every_o degree_n into_o 60_o minute_n every_o minute_n into_o 60_o second_o and_o so_o forward_a this_o division_n of_o the_o circle_n into_o 360_o part_n be_v general_o retain_v but_o the_o subdivision_n of_o those_o part_n some_o will_v have_v be_v thus_o and_o 100_o but_o as_o to_o our_o present_a purpose_n either_o may_v be_v use_v most_o instrument_n not_o exceed_v the_o four_o part_n of_o a_o degree_n 11._o now_o than_o a_o circle_n may_v be_v divide_v into_o 360_o part_n in_o this_o manner_n have_v draw_v a_o diameter_n through_o the_o centre_n of_o the_o circle_n divide_v the_o circle_n into_o two_o equal_a part_n across_o that_o diameter_n with_o another_o at_o right_a angle_n through_o the_o centre_n of_o the_o circle_n also_o so_o shall_v the_o circle_n be_v divide_v into_o four_o equal_a part_n or_o quadrant_n each_o quadrant_n contain_v 90_o degree_n as_o in_o fig._n 7._o ge._n ed._n dl_o and_o lg_n be_v each_o of_o they_o 90_o degree_n and_o the_o radius_fw-la of_o a_o circle_n be_v equal_a to_o the_o chord_n of_o the_o six_o part_n thereof_o that_o be_v to_o the_o chord_n of_o 60_o degree_n as_o in_o fig._n 14._o if_o you_o set_v the_o radius_fw-la gb_fw-la from_o l_o towards_o g_z and_o also_o from_o g_z towards_o l_o the_o quadrant_n gl_n will_v be_v subdivide_v into_o three_o equal_a part_n each_o part_n contain_v 30_o degree_n gm_n 30._o mh_o 30_o and_o hl_n 30_o the_o like_a may_v be_v do_v in_o the_o other_o quadrant_n also_o so_o will_v the_o whole_a circle_n be_v divide_v into_o twelve_o part_n each_o part_n contain_v 30_o degree_n and_o because_o the_o side_n of_o a_o pentagon_n inscribe_v in_o a_o circle_n be_v equal_a to_o the_o chord_n of_o 72_o degree_n or_o the_o first_o part_n of_o 360_o as_o in_o fig._n 13._o therefore_o if_o you_o set_v the_o chord_n of_o the_o first_o part_n of_o the_o circle_n give_v from_o g_z to_z l_o or_o l_o to_o g_z in_o fig._n 7._o you_o will_v have_v the_o chord_n of_o 72_o degree_n and_o the_o difference_n between_o gp_n 72_o and_o gh_o 60_o be_v hp_n 12_o which_o be_v bisect_v will_v give_v the_o arch_n of_o 6_o degree_n and_o the_o half_a of_o six_o will_v give_v three_o and_o so_o the_o circle_n will_v be_v divide_v into_o 120_o part_n each_o part_n contain_v three_o degree_n to_o which_o the_o chord_n line_n be_v divide_v into_o three_o part_n the_o arch_n by_o those_o equal_a division_n may_v be_v also_o divide_v and_o so_o the_o whole_a circle_n will_v be_v divide_v into_o 360_o as_o be_v desire_v 12._o a_o circle_n be_v thus_o divide_v into_o 360_o part_n the_o line_n of_o chord_n sin_n tangent_n and_o secant_v be_v so_o easy_o make_v if_o what_o have_v be_v say_v of_o they_o in_o the_o second_o chapter_n be_v but_o consider_v
