Also note wele that the p{ro}ducc{i}on comyng{e} of the ledyng of a
digite found{e}[{30}] [[w{i}t{h} an vndre-triple / other of an
vndre-triple in a triple or triplat is And after-ward{e} w{i}t{h} out
vndre-triple other vndre-triplis in the p{ro}duct and ayene that
p{ro}duct that cometh{e} of the ledyng{e} of a digit found{e} in
hym-self{e} cubicall{e}]] me may adde to, and also w{i}t{h}-draw fro of
the totall{e} nombre sette above that digit so found{e}.[{31}] [[as ther
had be a divisio{u}n made as it is opened{e} before]] That done ought or
nought most be the residue. If it be nought, It is open that the nombre
p{ro}posed{e} was a cubik{e} nombre, And his rote a digit founde last
w{i}t{h} the vnder-triples: If the rote therof wex bad{e} in
hym-self{e}, and afterward{e} p{ro}duct they shall{e} make the first
fig{ur}es. And yf ought be in residue, kepe that w{i}t{h}out in the
table; and it is open{e} that the nombre was not a cubik{e}. but a digit
last founde w{i}t{h} the vndirtriplis is rote of the most cubik{e} vndre
the nombre p{ro}posed{e} conteyned{e}, the which{e} rote yf it be had{e}
in hym-self{e}, And aft{er}ward{e} in a p{ro}duct of that shall{e} growe
the most cubik{e} vndre the nombre p{ro}posed{e} conteyned{e}, And yf
that be added{e} to a cubik{e} the residue res{er}ued{e} in the table,
woll{e} make the same figures that ye had{e} first. [*Fol. 56.] And yf
no digit after the anterioracio{u}n[{32}] may not be found{e}, than put
ther{e} a cifre vndre a cifre vndir the third{e} figure, And put
forward{e} þe fig{ur}es. Note also wele that yf in the nombre
p{ro}posed{e} ther ben no place of thowsand{es}, me most begynne vnder
the first figure in the extraccio{u}n of the rote. some vsen forto
distingue the nombre by threes, and ay begynne forto wirch{e} vndre the
first of the last t{er}nary other unco{m}plete nombre, the which{e}
maner of op{er}acio{u}n accordeth{e} w{i}t{h} that before. And this at
this tyme suffiseth{e} in extraccio{u}n of nombres quadrat or cubik{es}
{et}c.
