HAec non erunt admirationi, si globi capacit atem ex longitu∣dine diametri quaesieris. Continet enim sol•••• dim••tiens terrae dimetientem quinquies & semissem. Est{que} propertio diametri solis ad terrae dimetientē, quae est numeri vud••••im ad duo, quintupla sesquialtera. Cubus soli•• mille ter••••ntū vnā & triginta partes tales continet, cuius∣modi terrae cubus octonas conplectitur. Cubus enim numeri vndecim, est mille tercentū vnū & triginta. Cubus vero bi••arii, qui est terrae, octo. Subducto quoties id fieri potest, minore cu∣bo qui est terrae, à maiore qui est solis, cognoscitur cub••••d cubum proportio, & quanto Sol ma∣ior, terra sit. Inuenimus ergo octo centics, sexagi•••• sexies, in mille tercentum vno & triginta.
¶ Terrae Diametros Lunae dimetientē cōplectitur ter, & duas eius diamet••i portiones quin∣tas. Est{que} ea proportio, dimetientis terrae ad Lunae diametrum, quae est septen decim ad quin{que} tripla superbipartiens quintas. Cubus numeri septendecim, quater mille nongenta tredecim. Cubus numer•• quin{que}, est centum viginti quin{que}. Maiore cubo per minorem distributo, repe∣rimu•• numerum cētum vigintiquin{que}, tricies nouies in quater mille nongēus tredecim: quod paululum à superioribus obseruationibus diflert.
