Beside this there is an other kinde of proportion, when the greater containeth the lesser, more then ones, and not twise: and that maie be in 2 sortes. For if the greater containe the lesser, and any one parte of hym, that proporcion is called Superparticulare.

For example, take. 5. to. 4. Sith. 5. doeth containe. 4. and his quarter. Likewaies. 6. to. 5. is in the same kinde of proportion: although, not of the same speciall sorte. For 6. comprehendeth. 5. and his fifte parte.

So that for a more speciall distinction, eche of these and many other, haue their seueral names, according to that parte, whiche thei doe containe. As if it containe the halfe more, it is named Sesquialtera.

In whiche proportion are these nombers folowyng.

But if the greater comprehende the lesser, and his thirde parte, then is that named Sesquitertia proportion. As in these.

And when the fifte, sixte, seuenth, or eight part doeth make the proporcion, or any other part els, the name is taken of that same parte. As for briefnesse I will here sette examples.
