Abeat, posito $x=a$, haec expressio $e^{\int L dx}$ in $H$, denotante $e$ numerum cujus logarithmus est $=1$, fitque $H e^{-\int L dx}=V$:
Valor differentialis erit
$n.dx(NV - \frac{d.PV}{dx} + \frac{d^2.QV}{dx^2} - \frac{d^3.RV}{dx^3} + \frac{d^4.SV}{dx^4} - \&c.)$

$dz=Ldn+Mdx+Ndy+Pdp+Qdq+Rdr+\&c.$
$\& n=\int [Z]dx$
$d[Z]=[L]dn+[M]dx+[N]dy+[P]dp+[Q]dq+[R]dr+\&c.$
Sit, si ponatur $x=a$, post integrationem
$\int e^{\int [L]dx} Ldx = H$
