What, and how many properties doe belong to quantitie?

To quantitie belong three properties: First, to haue no con∣trarietie; for great and small be not of themselues contrarie, but only by way of comparison. Secondly, to be greater or lesser, but not more or lesse, spoken aduerbially; for a little quantitie is a quantitie as well as the greatest quantitie of all. The third and chiefest propertie of quantitie, is, to be equall or vnequall.
