Suppose the the line cef et ultra

in the infinite line is not unrespected by that time the line ab cometh
to ag where then the line is parallel & cutteth not the former
line
Now seing that a motion may be of any thing

Whatsoever may be or not be in
respect of the moment, it maketh no matter: the purpose is

The lines are parallel but in one
They never cut at an infinite distance but at that instant
they are

And if they cut then, they must ad utrasque partes & then
being right lines there must be no space betwixte them, but
there distance by supposition is more than the line ab

And yet there must be a cutting at an infinite distance or else all
the poyntes of the infinite line could not have been respected. &
if
that be not some part of the infinite line, that is some quantity which
it is finite is only & that is at a finite distance; & then it maketh an
angle of quantity at the greatest distance of such cutting: from that cutting the line
by motion came to be parallel: That motion is made in an instant or
in
If in time, then in half the time the cutting must be further

If in an instant, our line wilbe in two places

The lines therefore must cut at an infinite distance before they come to

And that must be in time before or in an instant before.
If in time, then in half the time they cut at greater distance than infinite or

Which both do imply contradiction.
If in an instant before; the two instants are one or If one, implicat.
If two there must be no other betwixt And then there [???] be a time greater
