- Habes igitur (Lector benevole) in hoc libellо, doctrinam constructionis Logarithmorum (quos híc numeros artificiales appellat; hunc enim tractatum, ante inventam Logarithmorum vocem, apud se pro aliquot annos conscriptum habuerat) copiosissime explicatam; in qua eorum natura, symptomata, ас variae ad naturales eorum numeros habitudines perspicue demonstrantur.
- You have therefore (kind Reader) in this pamphlet, the teaching of the construction of Logarithms (which here he calls artificial numbers; indeed he had had in this treatise written by it for some years before the name of Logarithms was found) most copiously explained; in which are clearly shown the nature and characteristics of them, as well as the various conditions for their natural numbers.
