STRATIOTIcOs. 1Of Reduction of Equations.

Ti Reduction Which is ſought in AÆquation, is tobꝛing one part or the equation, to onè ſimple Coſsi-call number viz. ½, 14, 1 N on ſo foath, the which isdone two waves. e 8Feͤrck, by krantpoling oz remouing ok numbers kromvbne part, tothe other. 5Then by reducing thole numbers lo kranſpoled, co theirbeat Denomination, oz ił they be Fractions, ta an Integer.

Of tranſporting of numbers in

a Aquations. fhis is à Rule generall, euerie number kranſpoſed1 changeth his ſigne, as if a lag 10% are equal to;may tratker 4 to3 N lap 10% are equal t 3 4.Like wile, as 2 1 T 1 O are eiuall to;& 6, ſo is 2 tequall vnto 3 610 ½%, and this foz tranſpoꝛting otSignes luſficeth, whereby alway you may reduce one ſideof the equation, to one particular Coſtcall Number.

This kind ol Reduction by franſpoꝛta tion, mult be ſooꝛdered, that vou ſingle by himſelk the greatelt Character,ſo as the ſame map ſland ſolitarie on the one ſide, and theleſſer Characters frame the contrarꝑ part of p πꝗquation.

Of Reduction ofthe parts of an Æqua-
