De majoribus. Imparia sunt, quorum quantitas non est una. Impar est majus aut minus. Majus est, cujus quantitas ex∣cedit.

VVE have heard how things may be compared with things, and this comparison was either in quantity or quality, which quantity was a logical quantity, not a geometrical quantity, for it was of things where Geometry cannot be considered. A∣gain, this is general to every thing, not special to Geo∣metry: and the reason hereof we heard to be, because there are more things in nature, than there are de∣grees in quantity; it was parium, or imparium. Pa∣ria were pairs, matches and equals, and imparia are such as agree not in any one of these three: but the aliquid here as it is greater to one, so is it less to ano∣ther. Imparia therefore are such as are not pairs, but the one is greater than the other.
