 A Breefe Treatise of SPHiERiCALL Triangles, wherein is handled the sixteene Cases of a 

 Right angled Triangle, being all extracted out of one Diagram, and reduced into Theorems, 

 with the totall line in the first place, so that by Addition onely, they may be effected ; as also the 

 Twelve Ca.ses of an Oblique SPHiERiCALL Triangle, being likewise reduced into Theorems, 

 whereby with one or two Additions at the most, any of them may be resolved by Helpe of this 

 Canon following made with Secants, and that only by such Numbers as are therein to be founde, 

 without first making any Substraction. or using any mentall Operation. Whereunto is annexed
