Two |

To geue tow infinite progressions, of which one to be |

increasing & the other decreasing; that the totall summes |

may be aequall. ||

Although the nomber of the places <termes> be infinite, the last |

terminus of both muste be a quantity & finite. ||

To get the summe of an infinite progression is easy; but of a finite is to |

be don thus besides other wayes; but this way will serue in may many cases |

when others will not. especially in bynomialles. ||

The finite progression vnderstand to runne infinite & get the summe |

Then when the finite progression did do end get two or three nombers more in |

progression & from thence the get the summe of the infinite residue; the difference |
