Chrest. Tab. II

So in the case of the method of fluxion which is
but a particular and more recently species of algebra
distinguished by that name.

Take some pro question for the solution of which this
new method is want to be employed. This question
could it be solved by ordinary algebra, or could it not.
If it could, then why is it that this new method is employed?
i.e. what is this advantage resulting from
the employment of it? if it could not, then why could
it? what is the expedient which is being supplied by algebra
fluxions and which could not be have been supplied by
algebra?

In this method a fiction is employed a point, or
a line or surface is said to have kept flowing where
in truth there has been no flowing in the case. With this
falshood how is it that methodical work, spoken of as
such by excellence is compatible?
