“To enlarge this contemplation…” — Sir Thomas Browne

Mystical Mathematicks
The title is from Sir Thomas Browne:
"To enlarge this contemplation unto all the mysteries and secrets,
accomodable unto this number, were inexcusable Pythagorisme,
yet cannot omit the ancient conceit of five surnamed the number
of justice; as justly dividing between the digits, and hanging in
the centre of Nine . . . ."
"Separately." — Ben Franklin
