CLASSIFICATION

The order of [simple or] as it might
be termed authoritative instruction
is the same with the order of enquiry
it is in its nature for instruction to be determined by the
order of enquiry; for how should a man who
had it in other respects in his choice,
of answering questions, but in the order
were asked?

Suppose a being endued with human
powers to be acquainted with the different
sorts of bodies so that with all of them,
as to what concerned there such of their first
and most obvious properties in respect to quantity
& figure as sensed for the foundation of names
assumed for the distinguishing them from one
another. Suppose some Angel or some
God had offered to explain whose word being a sufficient belief
might dispense him from the trouble of argumentative
reasoning, should offer him to reveal
such of their latent properties in these two
respects, as he should be act on a decisions to be acquainted
with.

Square
of a Line

The square of a line is 4 times that
line, if you consider the boundaries
and if you consider the superficies of
the square it should seem that one
could never produce a superficies
by multipying one line by another.
Lines & superficies are not homologous.
