E C, and C F or C A the Time of the Motion along C G. Therefore
it is to be proved that the

Space C G is more than
double, and leſſe than
triple the ſaid C A. For
in regard that as C E is
to E F, ſo is F E to E G;
therefore alſo ſo is C F to
F G. But E C is leſſe
than E F: Therefore C F
ſhall be leſſe than F G, and
G C more than double to
F C or A C. And moreover, in regard that F E is leſſe than double to
E C, (for E C is greater than C A or C F) G F ſhall alſo be leſſe
than double to F C, and G C leſſe than triple to C F or C A: Which
was to be demonſtrated.

And the ſame may be more generally propounded: for that which
hapneth in the Perpendicular and Inclined Plane, holdeth true alſo if
after the Motion a Plane ſomewhat inclined it be inflected along a more
inclining Plane, as is ſeen in the other Figure: And the Demonſtration
is the ſame.
