<

>You ſee then, that the Propoſition which ſaith, that
<
lb

the motion by the perpendicular is more ſwift than by the
<
lb

nation, holds not true univerſally, but onely of the motions,
<
lb
/>
which begin from the extremity, namely from the point of reſt:
<
lb
/>
without which reſtriction, the Propoſition would be ſo deficient,
<
lb
/>
that its very direct contrary might be true; namely, that the
<
lb
/>
tion in the inclining plane is ſwifter than in the perpendicular:
<
lb
/>
for it is certain, that in the ſaid inclination, we may take a ſpace
<
lb
/>
paſt by the moveable in leſs time, than the like ſpace paſt in the
<
lb
/>
perpendicular. </
s

<
s
>Now becauſe the motion in the inclination is in
<
lb
/>
ſome places more, in ſome leſs, than in the perpendicular;
<
lb
/>
fore in ſome places of the inclination, the time of motion of the
<
lb
/>
moveable, ſhall have a greater proportion to the time of the motion
<
lb
/>
of the moveable, by ſome places of the perpendicular, than the
<
lb
/>
ſpace paſſed, to the ſpace paſſed: and in other places, the
<
lb
/>
portion of the time to the time, ſhall be leſs than that of the
<
lb
/>
ſpace to the ſpace. </
s

<
s
>As for example: two moveables departing
<
lb

from their quieſcence, namely, from the point C, one by the

pendicular C B, [in

4.] and the other by the inclination C A,
<
lb

in the time that, in the perpendicular, the moveable ſhall have
<
lb
/>
paſt all C B, the other ſhall have paſt C T leſſer. </
s
>
<
s
>And therefore
<
lb
/>
the time by C T, to the time by C B (which is equal) ſhall have
<
lb

a greater proportion than the line C T to C B, being that the

And on the contrary, if in C A, prolonged as much as is
<

ſite, one ſhould take a part equal to C B, but paſt in a ſhorter

time; the time in the inclination ſhall have a leſs proportion to

the time in the perpendicular, than the ſpace to the ſpace. </

therefore in the inclination and perpendicular, we may ſuppoſe

ſuch ſpaces and velocities, that the proportion between the ſaid

may eaſily grant, that there are alſo ſpaces, by which the times
