To place this Table on the Rule.

Begin at the other end of the Rule taking those 4 columns next the thick edge save one, and divide them into little spaces, as you did for board-measure, setting on them all the under measure to 8 inches and an half square, yet you may do it to 12 inches, if you will; setting the square inches of the block in that column next save one to the edge: then the feet requi∣red to make a foot forward in the next: then the odd inches in the next to that, and the Centesmes in the last of the 4. Then from 8 and ½ to 36 you may take off your inches from your line of inch-measure, and your Centesmes from your inch of Centesmes, as you did in board-measure, and place it back∣ward or forward, according as it shall be more or less then a foot.
