Prefat.

To get any Idea of the Quantity of an object
you must express it by numbers. till you
have done this you have nothing to distinguish
the Idea [of this quantity of the quantity of this
object] from the quantity of another.

When you have done this when you have
by this means got an Idea of the quantity
of the object in question how are you to
compare it to the Idea of another object
so as to judge whether they be equal
or not and if they be not how are
you to get an Idea of the quantity
by which the one excedes the other [the quantity
one contains more than the other]. Are you
the nearer doing it by taking equimultiples
of the objects one of which you mean to
compare to the other. All That is to
say is it by making each larger that
you can judge of their Proportion:
There certainly is no other way than by
finding out some other quantity which will
measure them both and the instant you have
done this you have this difference if these
to be any expressed in the same way you was
