Suppose a Quadrant (see [[strikethrough]] page [[/strikethrough]] the Margin on p. 159) 70 Inches, the Radius of the exterior circle or limb, divided into every five Minutes and this distance again subdivided into every five seconds by Diagonal lines, and 60 concentric circles, equally distant from each other, ,083 Inch, whereby the whole breadth of the limb will be 5 Inches. N.B. This is as near the Dimensions and divisions of M[[superscript]] r [[/superscript]]. Jones Quadrant as I can guess to the best of my memory. From which I make the following calculation, according to what is said on p. 159.

Rad.:CE=65 Inches - 1,8129134

Transcription Notes:
Author uses , instead of . to differentiate decimals.  
Author's #4 digit looks like a triangle (bottom stroke of 4 is missing).
Because the equations don't quite line up in neat lines, it makes more sense to transcribe each equation as a block together.

Columns 4 and 5 of the table are not labeled.
Columns 3-5 of the table are only filled in for the first two rows.
Column 1 appears to have been re-indexed, starting at AB before 1 instead of beginning at 1.
