[Commentary:
This page contains further work on Propostion 12 from Effectionum geometricarum canonica recensio (Viète 1593b, Prop . At the end, Harriot makes the same observation as on Add MS 6785 f. , that the method of solving the equation is essentially the same as the 'ancient' method, that is, the traditional method taught in every algebra text. ]

[Translation: A. Lemma.
Therefore, h is either greater than, less than, or equal to a.
Suppose h is greater than a; then hh is greater than aa, and 2ch is greater than 2ca, and hh+2ch is greater than aa+2ca, which is against the hypothesis.
Therefore h is not greater than a.
Suppose h is less than a; then hh is less than aa, and 2ch is less than 2ca, and hh+2ch is less than aa+2ca, which is against the hypothesis.
Therefore h is not less than a.
Therefore h=a.
