A48262	Mathematicall recreations. Or, A collection of many problemes, extracted out of the ancient and modern philosophers as secrets and experiments in arithmetick, geometry, cosmographie, horologiographie, astronomie, navigation, musick, opticks, architecture, statick, mechanicks, chemistry, water-works, fire-works, &c. Not vulgarly manifest till now. Written first in Greeke and Latin, lately compi'ld in French, by Henry Van Etten, and now in English, with the examinations and augmentations of divers modern mathematicians whereunto is added the description and use of the generall horologicall ring: and the double horizontall diall. Invented and written by William Oughtred.; Récréation mathématique. English.	Oughtred, William, 1575-1660. aut	1653 (1653)	Wing L1790; ESTC R217635	140,825	339

that_o be_v long_o the_o fire_n be_v retain_v a_o long_a time_n in_o the_o concavitie_n of_o the_o piece_n and_o so_o throw_v out_o the_o bullet_n with_o more_o violence_n and_o experience_n let_v we_o see_v that_o take_a cannon_n of_o the_o same_o boar_n but_o of_o diversity_n of_o length_n from_o 8_o foot_n to_o 12_o that_o the_o cannon_n of_o 9_o foot_n long_o have_v more_o force_n than_o that_o of_o 8_o foot_n long_o and_o 10_o more_o than_o that_o of_o 9_o and_o so_o unto_o 12_o foot_n of_o length_n now_o the_o usual_a cannon_n carry_v 600_o pace_n some_o more_o some_o less_o yea_o some_o but_o 200_o pace_n from_o the_o piece_n and_o may_v shoot_v into_o soft_a earth_n 15_o or_o 17_o foot_n into_o sand_n or_o earth_n which_o be_v loose_a 22_o or_o 24_o foot_n and_o in_o firm_a

that_o shoot_v out_o of_o any_o piece_n which_o be_v long_o than_o 12_o foot_n the_o force_n be_v diminish_v and_o the_o more_o in_o length_n the_o piece_n increase_v the_o less_o his_o force_n be_v therefore_o the_o length_n ought_v to_o be_v in_o a_o mean_a measure_n and_o it_o be_v often_o see_v the_o great_a the_o cannon_n be_v by_o so_o much_o the_o service_n be_v great_a but_o to_o have_v it_o too_o long_a or_o too_o short_a be_v not_o convenient_a but_o a_o mean_a proportion_n of_o length_n to_o be_v take_v otherwise_o the_o flame_n of_o the_o fire_n will_v be_v over-pressed_n with_o
