quadrantal_a cylinder_n but_o in_o a_o straight_a line_n or_o sharp_a edge_n like_o that_o of_o a_o wedge_n or_o cuneus_n on_o which_o consideration_n i_o think_v fit_a to_o give_v it_o the_o name_n of_o cono-cuneus_n as_o have_v the_o base_a of_o a_o cone_n and_o the_o vertex_fw-la of_o a_o cuneus_n by_o the_o various_a section_n of_o this_o solid_a in_o several_a position_n he_o do_v right_o

it_o will_v be_v first_o to_o form_v such_o solid_n and_o then_o cut_v they_o by_o plain_n in_o such_o position_n as_o he_o desire_v he_o have_v for_o avoid_v that_o trouble_n ingenious_o contrive_v this_o expedient_a he_o cause_v divers_a board_n of_o a_o good_a solid_a wood_n to_o be_v exact_o plane_v some_o of_o a_o equal_a thickness_n some_o meeting_n in_o a_o sharp_a edge_n those_o of_o the_o former_a he_o cause_v to_o be_v glue_v together_o in_o a_o parallel_n position_n those_o of_o the_o latter_a sort_n he_o cause_v so_o to_o be_v glue_v together_o as_o that_o their_o sharp_a edge_n meet_v in_o one_o common_a angle_n and_o have_v thus_o form_v several_a solid_n of_o board_n thus_o glue_v together_o he_o then_o cause_v they_o to_o be_v wrought_v into_o such_o a_o form_n as_o that_o before_o describe_v which_o be_v do_v he_o then_o cause_v the_o glue_n to_o be_v dissolve_v in_o warm_a water_n whereby_o the_o several_a board_n fall_v asunder_o do_v exhibit_v in_o their_o several_a face_n the_o respective_a section_n of_o those_o solid_n and_o such_o be_v those_o he_o show_v we_o which_o be_v put_v together_o make_v up_o such_o solid_n and_o take_v asunder_o show_v the_o several_a section_n of_o they_o i_o do_v not_o intend_v at_o all_o to_o disparage_v the_o ingenuity_n of_o that_o contrivance_n which_o be_v indeed_o very_o handsome_a and_o neat_o perform_v but_o do_v withal_o suppose_v that_o it_o will_v not_o be_v unpleasing_a to_o yourself_o or_o he_o to_o see_v those_o line_n describe_v in_o plano_n which_o will_v arise_v by_o such_o
