A large decorative initial 'H' begins the text.
Above all, let the side of the first Cube be obtained, or the diameter of a 1 lb. globe made of that metal for which you desire to construct this Rule. This is done, for example, in Figure No. 4, line A B, the diameter of a 1 lb. iron globe. Therefore, intending to find the side of a doubled cube, or the diameter of a 2 lb. globe, double the line A B, or set it twice; that is done here as A D. Then, between the single line A B and the doubled line A D, seek two mean proportionals; one of them, the lesser mean proportional found, namely D E, will be the side of the doubled cube, or the diameter of a 2 lb. iron globe. One must proceed in this way when seeking the diameters of other following globes: as much as the first globe is to be increased, by so much its diameter is to be increased, and two mean proportionals are to be sought between those values.
Experts in geometry say that to this day, no one has truly and geometrically performed this invention of two mean proportionals between two other proposed quantities, although many have labored in this work even to the point of nausea, but with vain effort. The thing, indeed, appears most difficult to discover...
