¶The 40. Theoreme. The 58. Proposition. If a superficies be contained vnder a rationall line and a fift binomiall line: the line which contayneth in power that superficies is irrationall, and is a line contayning in power a rationall and a mediall superficies.
SVppose that the superficies AG be contayned vnder the rationall line A••, and vnder a fift binomiall line AD•• ••nd let the same lin•• AD be supposed to be deuided into his names in the poynt E, so that let the line AE be the greater name. Then I say, that the line which contayneth in power the superficies AC is irrationall, and is a line contayning in power a rationall and a mediall superficies.* 1.1 Let the selfe same constructions be in this, that were in the foure Proposition next going before. And it is manifest, that the line MX contayneth in power the superfici•••• AG. Now testeth to proue that the line MX is a line contayning in power a rationall & a mediall superficies. For∣asmuch
