 TO THE READER. 
 
 T commeth commonly to parte, 
 that Carpenters , Mafons, and 
 fuch like Artificers, are put ei- 
 ther to meafurc timber eueric 
 way fquare, or fquared logges, 
 broader on the one fide than on 
 the other : yea,many times mu- 
 tilate or vnpeifeel ftuffe. Some- 
 times threejfiue^enjOr twentic fquare in thehead,and 
 fb through : oftentimes round Stone or Timber with 
 holIowed,&c. Afore I (hew vntothem whatmuft be 
 done with fuch peeccs of Timber or Stone,to get their 
 true meafure, my defire mall be, that fuch Craftmen 
 will Ieaue to be heady or fclf willed: yea [6 greedily to 
 (tide to their corrupted iules,thatvtterly they refute 
 to be taught. 
 
 Both learning and experience declarcth vnto me, 
 that the grounds which thebeft of them haue,are falfc. 
 To open how and where,it needcth not : neither doth 
 ftappertainc to inftruclion, onelyit may fuffice him- 
 that Jiketh the true way,herc to receiuc it appointed to 
 him. Yet to fatisfie and content him which will not be- 
 lceue any fuch errors or falfe grounds to be,I f ly (and 
 truly) that the Ruler of Timber meafure, which the 
 moft part of them hath, is not made by right Art. Be- 
 
 fides

 Totbc^Reader. 
 
 fldcs that , their craft in feeling the Square of Come 
 Timber is very falle. They vfein meafuring, to lay the 
 broader and narrower fides together in a lumme,and 
 to take the halfe of that number for the Square. Then 
 they feeke this vntrue Square vpon thefalie Ruler,and 
 fo meafuring the Timber,they conclude of it vntruly. 
 As this is corrupted, lo are other Grounds which 
 they take to be infallible. Now to the purpofe : tou- 
 ching the correction of thofe Errors , with other not 
 mentioned, whereby true meafuring may enfue, this 
 way fhall be taken. After I haue opened how you muft 
 handle all fuch fafliioncd Timber (as afore is fpoken 
 of) there fhall follow a Table, in which ye may finde 
 (as I will declare) the Square of any Stone or Timber. 
 fcaFoote Thatknowne,itisrequifiteto haueanotherTableim- 
 tJnVd j"™" mediatly following, which may appoynt to all true 
 inches. Squares from i. to6. inches, theiuftlengthtomakea 
 Footc euery way fquare. With the length agreeable to 
 your Square, your Logge muft bemeafured. And as 
 oft as ye find it from the one ende to the other of your 
 Timber,(b oft ye may conclude the Footc fquare to be 
 contained in that timber Logge, or Stone : that is, Co 
 many fquare Feetc there to be included. This Table of 
 Timber meafure ftandeth in the place of a good Ruler, 
 well decked with true meafures. By this yc may 
 make or correct Rulers at pleafure,as 
 after appcareth. 
 
 Now orderly fottoweih the true medfuring ofallfajbhned 
 Timber or Stone aforentmed.

 Tothe^Reader. 
 
 Said in the beginning,that no little Booke would 
 
 con tame the making and manifold fruits of this 
 
 princely Instrument, if it were fet foorth as it 
 
 ought to be inhispeife&ion. Certesthetrueth 
 
 euen here maketh me confeflc the fameryea that 
 
 there is no Inftrument fo generall and profitably pleafant : 
 
 Notwithstanding know(gentlc Reader) that theoccafion of 
 
 his chiefc vfe and profit is not here miniftred : neither,to fay 
 
 the truth,doth it appertaine to, or agree with the capacitie of 
 
 fuch Artificers. Therefore I fliallleaue to intreate of his ample 
 
 large vfe and beft making,and will fet him forth in few words; 
 
 yea fufficiently for the Land-meaters capacitie or Carpenters 
 
 purpofc,that at the lealt they may receiue fome kindc of fruite 
 
 with the Geometrer. And in time to come (by other meanes) 
 
 as I fee caufe,I will largely declare, and there decke him with 
 
 his proper beauties. Here now followeth the making, 
 
 and fo briefly, how he is applied for the profit of 
 
 the aforenamed Artificers.
