noble_a lord_n brouncker_n who_o with_o a_o favour_n and_o civility_n towards_o i_o matchless_a by_o any_o thing_n but_o his_o own_o learning_n and_o excellent_a endowment_n demonstrate_v the_o proportion_n i_o aim_v at_o to_o be_v a_o plain_a mistake_n yet_o that_o if_o my_o five_o proposition_n have_v hold_v the_o thing_n have_v be_v do_v his_o lordship_n have_v thus_o full_o convince_v i_o and_o thus_o high_o oblige_v i_o i_o return_v he_o my_o humble_a acknowledgement_n and_o immediate_o direct_v the_o suppression_n of_o the_o copy_n as_o yourself_o confess_v you_o find_v they_o after_o which_o for_o you_o to_o come_v with_o a_o clamorous_a and_o print_a confutation_n be_v extreme_o both_o unhandsome_a and_o uncharitable_a and_o look_v upon_o as_o such_o by_o the_o civil_a wit_n of_o our_o nation_n you_o say_v my_o treatise_n contain_v 13_o proposition_n wherein_o i_o wonder_v you_o can_v mistake_v not_o only_o the_o matter_n be_v diverse_a in_o three_o of_o the_o

end_n of_o the_o nine_o proposition_n so_o that_o it_o be_v evident_a chrysaspis_n be_v finish_v in_o nine_o proposition_n to_o which_o most_o of_o your_o reason_n be_v out_o of_o a_o mistake_n or_o not_o understand_v the_o work_n and_o indeed_o i_o have_v from_o better_a mathematician_n than_o myself_o that_o you_o understand_v not_o well_o your_o own_o so_o many_o and_o notable_a error_n they_o observe_v in_o one_o or_o two_o leaf_n of_o your_o anger_n against_o i_o now_o as_o to_o the_o appendix_n first_o you_o say_v guldin_n or_o gulden_n it_o be_v all_o one_o to_o i_o invent_v the_o demonstration_n i_o repeat_v out_o of_o my_o exercitatio_fw-la whether_o you_o speak_v by_o hearsay_n or_o by_o the_o chance_n of_o cross_n and_o pile_n i_o know_v not_o but_o whoever_o read_v the_o two_o demonstration_n will_v find_v they_o as_o different_a as_o can_v be_v and_o yet_o you_o tell_v your_o reader_n i_o acknowledge_v they_o to_o be_v the_o same_o you_o add_v i_o put_v a_o second_o demonstration_n and_o that_o you_o say_v be_v i_o own_o and_o the_o second_o i_o confess_v have_v some_o likeness_n with_o guldin_n for_o it_o argue_v the_o same_o way_n though_o it_o proceed_v by_o straight_a line_n and_o guldin_n by_o circular_a one_o there_o follow_v in_o your_o work_n your_o geometrical_a examination_n of_o my_o error_n in_o which_o i_o intend_v neither_o to_o justify_v what_o i_o have_v write_v nor_o reprehend_v what_o you_o have_v not_o take_v it_o to_o be_v worth_a my_o pain_n till_o i_o be_o assure_v whether_o my_o demonstration_n of_o the_o quadrature_n will_v reach_v to_o some_o other_o proportion_n since_o the_o chief_a end_n for_o which_o i_o make_v it_o be_v miscarry_v for_o i_o seek_v not_o commendation_n to_o myself_o out_o of_o geometry_n but_o a_o attestation_n to_o my_o other_o writing_n which_o once_o disappoint_v the_o rest_n i_o have_v write_v be_v not_o worth_a my_o pain_n to_o rectify_v as_o for_o my_o bitterness_n against_o guldin_n it_o be_v not_o against_o his_o person_n who_o as_o you_o say_v never_o offend_v i_o neither_o do_v i_o ever_o know_v he_o but_o against_o a_o base_a abuse_n do_v to_o geometry_n to_o mingle_v with_o its_o purity_n the_o scurf_n of_o probability_n and_o so_o to_o bring_v it_o into_o the_o scorn_n of_o be_v hold_v no_o better_a than_o logical_a discourse_n this_o he_o have_v attempt_v by_o put_v into_o his_o geometrical_a book_n fantastical_a proposition_n and_o colour_v his_o suppose_a error_n by_o argument_n not_o favour_v of_o geometry_n make_v i_o say_v he_o know_v not_o the_o duty_n of_o a_o geometrician_n and_o though_o he_o may_v have_v many_o geometrical_a thing_n in_o he_o be_v not_o therefore_o a_o mathematician_n as_o not_o have_v the_o judgement_n to_o discern_v betwixt_o the_o use_n of_o probable_a reason_n and_o demonstrative_a one_o but_o think_v the_o argument_n which_o himself_o take_v to_o be_v but_o probable_a may_v lawful_o be_v entertain_v in_o geometry_n this_o be_v the_o imputation_n i_o lay_v to_o his_o charge_n and_o prove_v by_o those_o instance_n you_o cite_v and_o confess_v to_o be_v he_o yet_o you_o be_v displease_v with_o i_o and_o to_o make_v your_o displeasure_n seem_v reasonable_a to_o the_o reader_n you_o impose_v upon_o i_o that_o i_o say_v he_o hold_v those_o error_n since_o he_o recall_v they_o which_o i_o neither_o do_v nor_o concern_v it_o i_o to_o do_v now_o whether_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v interpret_v gall_n when_o a_o man_n lay_v a_o charge_n and_o his_o proof_n down_o let_v the_o discreet_a and_o experience_a judge_n ignorance_n it_o may_v be_v in_o he_o that_o do_v the_o wrong_n not_o passion_n if_o his_o charge_n be_v no_o great_a than_o his_o evidence_n maintain_v you_o say_v far_o that_o i_o tax_v he_o with_o moral_a vice_n and_o i_o can_v deny_v i_o think_v he_o have_v a_o vanity_n in_o excuse_v himself_o nor_o do_v his_o word_n express_v any_o less_o but_o for_o any_o great_a viciousness_n i_o be_o far_o from_o either_o say_n or_o think_v it_o of_o he_o and_o if_o his_o proceed_n make_v i_o conceive_v he_o be_v one_o of_o that_o kind_n of_o man_n who_o draw_v all_o thing_n to_o incertainty_n i_o do_v not_o therefore_o infer_v he_o do_v so_o in_o matter_n of_o faith_n on_o which_o he_o touch_v not_o as_o far_o as_o i_o have_v understand_v nor_o can_v any_o such_o sense_n be_v fair_o deduce_v out_o of_o my_o word_n since_o every_o one_o of_o that_o kind_n of_o man_n do_v it_o in_o his_o own_o sphere_n not_o in_o all_o matter_n much_o less_o do_v i_o tax_v he_o of_o heresy_n whereof_o i_o accuse_v not_o the_o person_n even_o of_o they_o who_o sentence_n i_o doubt_v not_o be_v heresy_n true_a it_o be_v the_o endeavour_n of_o those_o whoever_o they_o be_v that_o seek_v to_o destroy_v all_o certainty_n i_o perfect_o hate_v and_o use_v what_o mean_v i_o can_v to_o show_v their_o perniciousness_n and_o with_o this_o i_o think_v i_o have_v answer_v your_o moral_a opposition_n there_o be_v indeed_o a_o geometrical_a one_o against_o the_o thirteen_o proposition_n of_o which_o i_o make_v no_o mention_n because_o it_o be_v the_o same_o with_o the_o six_o wherein_o i_o have_v before_o affirm_v that_o my_o lord_n brouncker_n have_v convince_v i_o and_o so_o i_o have_v nothing_o to_o reply_v only_o i_o hope_v my_o yield_n to_o my_o lord_n will_v be_v a_o pledge_n to_o you_o that_o i_o shall_v be_v willing_a to_o do_v the_o like_a in_o my_o error_n in_o other_o science_n as_o you_o charitable_o pray_v for_o i_o in_o which_o prayer_n i_o hearty_o join_v add_v this_o far_o that_o i_o may_v find_v out_o man_n who_o will_v endeavour_v to_o show_v i_o my_o error_n for_o i_o doubt_v not_o but_o there_o be_v divers_a and_o i_o hope_v i_o be_o willing_a to_o know_v they_o only_o i_o
