just_a a_o second_o minute_n so_o that_o it_o will_v vibrate_v 60_o time_n in_o a_o first_o minute_n this_o length_n will_v be_v the_o same_o in_o all_o nation_n and_o age_n and_o may_v easy_o enough_o be_v find_v either_o by_o help_n of_o a_o true_a pendulum-clock_n or_o otherwise_o exact_o enough_o for_o humane_a use_n and_o as_o its_o motion_n will_v serve_v to_o measure_v all_o time_n so_o its_o length_n by_o the_o help_n of_o arithmetical_a operation_n and_o application_n may_v be_v employ_v to_o measure_v all_o other_o continue_a quantity_n it_o be_v whole_a length_n may_v be_v call_v the_o horary_a yard_n as_o a_o three_o part_n of_o it_o be_v denominate_v the_o horary_a foot_n by_o the_o learned_a proposer_n of_o it_o hugenius_n in_o his_o treatise_n de_fw-fr horologio_fw-la oscillatorio_n this_o length_n be_v find_v in_o any_o nation_n may_v be_v apply_v to_o their_o usual_a measure_n whereby_o it_o will_v appear_v to_o the_o eye_n how_o it_o must_v be_v

be_v find_v by_o we_o to_o be_v short_a viz._n 21.888_o wherefore_o to_o find_v what_o proportion_n or_o rate_v the_o universal_a measure_n have_v to_o the_o jewish_a cubit_n it_o will_v be_v conveniet_fw-la to_o suppose_v this_o measure_n divide_v into_o decimal_a part_n 10000_o and_o then_o we_o may_v find_v how_o many_o such_o part_n of_o that_o length_n be_v in_o their_o cubit_n by_o this_o analogy_n as_o the_o pendulum_n length_n in_o our_o know_a measure_n 39.25_o be_v to_o the_o jew_n cubit_n in_o the_o same_o measure_n 21.888_o so_o be_v the_o pendulum_n length_n in_o

wherefore_o by_o this_o method_n my_o labour_n in_o reduce_v these_o to_o our_o english_a standard_n may_v become_v useful_a to_o those_o that_o know_v not_o our_o standard_n and_o consequent_o to_o
