[Commentary:
This page appears to be related to page 177 of Stevin's L'arithmetique pratique (Stevin . The problem that Stevin addressed there, as stated on page 174, is:
Estant donné ligne droicte, & deux nombres: Trouer vne ligne droicte en telle raison à la donnée, comme le nombre au nombre.
Stevin's examples are numerical, but Harriot is working in letters (as also in further notes on Stevin in Add MS 6782 f. ). ]
