_Euclid_ hath said of _Lines_, Streight, Intersecting one another, and
Parallel. 2. What he hath demonstrated of a _Single Triangle_, and of
_Triangles Compared_ one with another. 3. What of the _Circle_, and its
Properties. 4. What of _Proportions_ in Triangles and other Figures. 5.
What of _Quadrats_ and _Rectangles_, made of Lines diversly {262} cut. 6.
What of _Plane Superficies_'s. 7. What of _Solids_. After which follow the
_Problems_. The _Definitions_ are put to each _Chapter_ as need requireth.
The _Axioms_, because they are few, and almost every where necessary, are
not thus distributed in _Chapters_. The _Postulata_, are not subjoyn'd to
the _Axioms_, but reserv'd for the _Problems_, the Author esteeming, that
they being _practical_ Principles, had only place in _Problems_.

This for the _Order:_ As to the _Manner_ of Demonstrating, One and the same
is observ'd in most Propositions; all with much brevity; to the end, that
what is not of it self difficult, may not be made so, by multitude of Words
and Letters.

II. _THE ENGLISH VINE-YARD VINDICATED._ The Author (Mr. _John Rose_, his
Majesties Gardener at his Royal Garden in St. _James_'s) makes it his
business in this small Tract (a very thin Pocket-book) by a few short
Observations made by himself, to direct _Englishmen_ in the _Choice_ of the

commends the small _Black-grape_, or _Cluster-grape_; the _Parsley-grape_;

red Wood and a dark green Leaf: All these being early ripe fruit. 2. Of the
_Soyle_, and _Scituation_ of a Vine-yard in _England_: Where, as to the
_First_, he pitches upon a _Light Soile_, having a bottom of _Chalk_ or
_Gravel_, and given to _Brambles_ observing, that no Plant whatsoever is so
connatural to the Vine for Soyl, as the _Bramble_. As for the _Scituation_
he chooses that side or declivity of a Hill, that lies to the _South_ or
_Southwest_; and is favoured with _other Hills_ somewhat higher, or _Woods_
on the _North_ and _East_, to break the rigour of those quarters. This
