The learner regards it as a sort of impiety
to question the truth of anything delivered
in mathematics.

The language of the part
department of algebra called
fluxions is throughout, in its principle,
the language of fiction.
By observation made of the occasions
in which it is not only
employed but employed to
practical use – propositions of a
physical nature – propositions
exemplified in real figures, exhibiting individual existing quantities of matter, or stiles of things,
of stiles of things –
by this means an
no otherwise other, might the
realities which these fictions
have been employed to designate
be brought to view and new light
be substituted to accustomed and
custom-maintained darkness.

Explained and elucidated
both of them by the naked truth
language of fluxions and the
language of the differential calculus
might thus be translated,
in the first place into the correspondent
plain and unfigurative
language; and thence, in the next
place, into each other: and thus
if any end and
than gratification of curiosity the
competition the dispute on the
cubes between the Newton and Leibnitz
might be decided pronounced.
more useful than the
gratification of curiosity were
proposed, a decision on the
contest between Newton &
Leitnitz might be
pronounced en connaissance
de cause.
