Multiply the first into the summe of the 2 & third.
The half of the first 2
his square 4
adde the first product 60
the summe 64
His roote 8
subtract the sayd half of the first 2
the remayne is 6, the sayd second

This solution is
according to the
ancient manner
as in salignacus
or Stevin &c.
& doth not much differ
in practice from my
rule before demonstrated
