When he is sufficiently perfect in these, I would have him learn Perspective. And when he has made some progress in this, so as to have prepared his Judgment with the right Notions of the Alterations that Figures must undergo, when they come to be drawn on a Flat, he may then be put to Drawing by View, and be exercised in this along with Perspective, till he comes to be sufficiently perfect in both.

<math>z</math> and <math>x</math> being two flowing Quantities (whose Relation... may be exprest by any Equation...) by [the aforesaid] Corollary, while <math>z</math> by flowing uniformly becomes <math>z+v</math>, <math>x</math> will become<math>x + \frac {\dot{x}}{1 \cdot \dot{z}}v + \frac {\ddot{x}}{1 \cdot 2 \cdot \dot{z}^2}v^2 +</math>... etc. or

Dr. Halley..., has publish'd a... compendious and useful Method of extracting the Roots of affected Equations of the common Form, in Numbers. This Method proceeds by assuming the Root desired nearly true... (...by a Geometrical Construction, or by some other convenient way) and correcting the Assumption by comparing the Difference between the true Root and the assumed, by means of a new Equation whose Root is that Difference, and which he shews how to form from the Equation proposed, by Substitution of the Value of the Root sought, partly in known and partly in unknown Terms.
