In the next place, with respect to the properties of the decad,<br />

it must be observed, that though the monad is the form of all<br />

arithmetical forms, yet it is chiefly the form of the decad. For<br />

what the monad is simply to all the series of numbers, that the<br />

decad is to the following hundreds, thousands, and millions;<br />

whence according to a secondary progression, it is denominated<br />

unity. Again, as this number is the ultimate perfection of beings,<br />

it contains all things in its omniform nature. For all proportion<br />

subsists within this number; the arithmetical in a<br />

natural progression of numbers from unity; the geometrical in<br />

the numbers 1, 2, 4, and 1, 3, 9; and the harmonica1 in the<br />

numbers 2, 3,6, and 3,4, 6.<br />

Again, it will be found that if 10 multiplies any gnomon of<br />

a triangle, square, or endecagon, or any square, or endecagon,<br />

and unity is added to the product the sum will always be a<br />

duodecagonal gnomon. For,<br />
