A Corollary added by Campane.
Hereby it is 〈…〉〈…〉 from the grea•••••• 〈◊〉〈◊〉 of a line deuided by an extreame & meane proportion,* 1.1 be 〈◊〉〈◊〉 away 〈◊〉〈◊〉 segment: the sayd great a segment shall be deuided by an extreame and meane proportion, and the greater segment thereof shall be the line taken away.
As let the line ••••, be deuided by an extreame and mean•• proportion, in the point C. And le•• the 〈…〉〈…〉 line 〈…〉〈…〉 A. D. I say that A∣C is also deuided by an extreame and mean•• proportion in the point D, and that his greater portion is DC. For, by the definiti∣no (of a line so deuided) AB, is to AC, as AC is to CB. But as AC is to CB, so is AC to DC, by the 7. of the 〈…〉〈…〉 is equall to CB) wherefore, by the 11. of the fifth, as AB is to AC, so is AC to CD: and therefore by the 19. of the fifth, as AB is to AC, so is the residue CB, to the residue AD. But CB is to AD, as DC is to AD (by the 7. of the fifth) for DC is by construction equall to C••. Wherefore, 〈…〉〈…〉 so by the definition of A line de¦uided by an extreame and meane 〈…〉〈…〉 the point D, to be deuided, by an ex∣treame and meane proportion: which was to be proued.
