PROP. H. 



Concerning Concurrent Tefiifications. 



If Two Concurrent Reporters have, each of 

 them, as \ths of Certainty j they will both give 

 me an Aflurance of \\ths r or of 35 to one : If 

 Three - 0 an Aflurance of f or of 215 to 

 one. 



For if one of them gives a Certainty for 

 1200/. as of \ths, there remains but an Aflu- 

 rance of \thj or of 200 /. wanting to me, for 

 the whole. And towards that the Second At- 

 tefter contributes, according to his Proportion 

 of Credibility : That is to \t hs of Certainty be- 

 forehand, he adds iths of the \th which was 

 wanting : So that there is now wanting but 

 \t h of a \th^ that is -}?th - 0 and confequently I 

 have, from them both, \iths of Certainty. So 

 from Three, &c. 



That is, if the firft Witnefs gives me 

 of Certainty, and there is wanting of it a 



the Second Attefter will add - — of that 

 and confequently leave nothing wanting but 

 ~™ of that ~- = i=— And in like man- 

 nerthe third Attefter adds his 1— of that
