30) Prefat.
Limits of
the Truth
of Geomet:
Propositions.
that from practice you are able to do it
exactly. It tells you of upon this supposition
that if you do so and so such will be
the consequence and the it will only deviate
from truth as much as the practitioner
will deviate from the supposition in
performing his operation.
To pretend to depend upon no mechanical
operation no archetype in nature
is if it is not such that it
regards it is useless and if it such
it must take them as it finds them
or not at all.
Yet this one of the standing objections
to demonstrating the Props of 5th book
by aliquot parts. This is the reason Euclid
has and lives to exemplify his fifth book.
Numbers are never to be used even as
Examples but Lines one only of the
millions of things which Numbers stand for are made use of without example
is put in its place, but the reason is
the possibility of dividing and multiplying.
Numbers were absolutely invented for the purpose
of judging of the proportion between all quantities
They are the only means you have to do it why then not use them?
