 at this presente, so the vse of these greate nombers is rare in practise: and therefore I will ouerpasse them, for this tyme.

And yet for your aied in the meane season, I haue here drawen a table, whiche maie bee called the table of ease: in whiche you haue great plentie of these nombers, with their rootes in diuerse kindes.

The table it self is so manifeste, that it neadeth no declaration: if you haue not forgotten, what you learned before.

And if you liste to enlarge this table, you maie easily doe it, multipliyng the nombers still by their rootes, whiche bee set ouer theim, in the hedde of the table. And so maie you make it to extende infinitely: whiche shall ease you wonderfully, in the extraction of any kinde of rootes. For which at some other time if my leisure serue me better, with quietnesse, I will giue you more specialle rules.

And also I councell you, well to examine this table, and trust not to my castynge. For haste and other troubles, maie often times cause erroure in supputation.
