THis Little Book was first written by me several years since, and hath been accep∣ted of among many, that •ave had the Perusal-thereof. And several Impressions, in that time, be∣••g sold off; and it being now out •f Print, and none to be had, I have ••vised it, and left out what might •ell be spared; and added that which •ight make it more plain, and easier 〈◊〉 be remembred.

As for Instance, in the using of ••e Line of Numbers (commonly ••lled Gunters Line) for the mea∣••ring of Board, or Timber, or Stone, ••e fixed Points or Centers is only 10 ••d 12, for square Timber or Stone.

And in measuring of round Tim∣ber or Stone (as round Timber) ••ere is used only 13. 54 for Inches, ••d 1. 128 for Foot-measure, being •e Diameter in Inches, and Foot∣•easure of any round solid, when one •oot in length makes one solid Foot Page  [unnumbered] of 12 Inches every way, or 1728 so▪ lid Cube Inches, which is a foot 〈◊〉 Timber, or Stone.

And if the Circumference, or Gi•• of the Piece about is given, then t•• fixed Point or Center used, is at 4•• 54 the Inches, and 100 part of •• Inch about, when one Foot, or 1•• Inches long makes one Foot solid.

Or else at 3.545 the Feet, and 100• parts about, when one Foot long mak• one solid Foot equal to 1728 Cube I•

Also, after every Problem, is t• brief way of working it by the Pen, 〈◊〉 a proof of the truth of every Oper•▪ tion by the Rule; being more th•• was before in the former Impression•

Also, the Line of Pence is a• ded to the Line of Numbers, and plain way set forth of the use there by the Line on the Rule. Or the m• plain description thereof in a Pr• of Gunters Line 11 times repeate• which may be had with the Book, Tower-Hill, or the Minories.

The Use of the Gunters LinePage  [unnumbered]•he Art of Gauging, is here but brief∣•y hinted, because there are several Books of Gauging, purposely made for that Imployment, more compleat •han can be expected in this short Di∣scourse. And Lines of Area's of Circles, in Ale-gallons, at any Dia∣meter given, from 1 Inoh to 200 In∣•hes; which may be used for round •r square Vessels, to give the content •f every Inch deep in any taper Vessel, as fast as any one can write it down.

And Directions for the ready mea∣suring the Drip, or stooping Bottoms of round or square Tuns, and the Li∣quor about the Crowns of Coppers.

Which Books are to be had at the Postern at Tower-Hill, or at the Authors, in the Minories.

To this Impression is added the Use of the Lines called Diameter, Cir∣cumference, Square-Equal, and Square within a Circle; and to find the Circles, Area, or Content by them; or, having the Area, to find the Diameter, or the Circumference or the Square-equal, or Square-within.

Page  [unnumbered]Also, to this is added the way b• the Pen, to multiply Feet, Inche• and 12 parts of an Inch together whereby any Superficies, as Boar• Floor, Wall, Yard, or Field, way •• exactly measured by the Pen. Als• by a second Operation, or Multipl• cation, may any Solid, as Timber, 〈◊〉 Stone, or round Vessel, be measured the Arithmetical way whereof, 〈◊〉 worded as plain as in any Bo•• whatsoever.

Also the Use of the Glasier's▪ Sl•▪ ding-Rule, to measure Glass, or a•• Superficies.

And Mr. White's Sliding-Ru•• to measure Timber; being as ne•• and ready a way as ever was used.

Thus you have a brief Account 〈◊〉 what is contained in this little Boo• and I wish it may be helpful to ma• a Learner, for whom it is prepare• So I remain ready to serve you in th• or the like.
