¶A Corollary added out of Flussates.
By the 6. form••r Proposi•••••••••• it i•• manifest, ho••〈◊〉〈◊〉 divide any right line geuen into the names of euery one of the six•• foresayd binomiall lines.* 1.1 For if it be required to deuide a right line ge∣uen into a first binomiall line, then by the 48•• of this booke finde out a first binomiall line. And this right line being so found out deuided into his names, you may by the 10. of the sixt, deuide the right line geuen in like sort. And so in the other fiue following.
Although I here note vnto you this Corollary out of 〈…〉〈…〉, in very conscience and of gratefull ••inde•• I am enforced to certifie you, that, i•• any yeare••, before the trauailes of Flussas (vpō Eu••li•••••• Geo∣metricall Elementes) were published, the order how to deuide, not onely the 6. Binomiall lines into their names, but also to adde to the 6. Resid••••ls their due partes: ••nd f••rthermore to deuide all the o∣ther
descriptionPage [unnumbered]
irrational•• lines (of this tenth booke) into the partes distinct, of which they are composed: with many other straunge conclusions Mathematicall, to the better vnderstanding of this tenth booke and o∣ther Mathematicall bookes, most necessary, were by M. Iohn Dee inuented and demonstrated:* 1.2 as in his booke, whose title is Tyrocinium Mathematicum (dedicated to Petru•• Nonnius, An. 1559.) may at large appeare. Where also is one new arte, with sundry particular pointes, whereby the Mathematicall Sci∣ences, greatly may be enriched. Which his booke, I hope, God will one day allowe him opportunitie to publishe: with diuers other his Mathematicall and Metaphysicall labours and inuentions.
