so that the angle made of those two lines be equall to the angle appointed. Then say I, that the arch of the circle D.F.E, is the arche that I seke after. For if I doo deuide that arche in the middle (as here is done in F.) and so draw thence two lines, one to D, and the other to E, then will the angle F, be equall to the angle assigned. THE XXXIII. CONCLVSION. To make a square quadrate in a circle assigned. Draw .ij. diameters in the circle, so that they runne a crosse, and that they make .iiij. right angles. Then drawe .iiij. lines, that may ioyne the .iiij. ends of those diameters, one to an other, and then haue you made a square quadrate in the circle appointed. _Example._ [Illustration] A.B.C.D. is the circle assigned, and A.C. and B.D. are the two diameters which crosse in the centre E, and make .iiij. right corners. Then do I make fowre other lines, that is A.B, B.C, C.D, and D.A, which do ioyne together the fowre endes of the ij. diameters. And so is the square quadrate made in the circle assigned, as the conclusion willeth. THE XXXIIII. CONCLVSION. To make a square quadrate aboute annye circle assigned. Drawe two diameters in crosse waies, so that they make foure righte angles in the centre. Then with your compasse take the length of the halfe diameter, and set one foote of the compas in eche end of the compas, so shall you haue viij. archelines. Then yf you marke the prickes wherin those arch lines do crosse, and draw betwene those iiij. prickes iiij right lines, then haue you made the square quadrate accordinge to the request of the conclusion. _Example._ [Illustration] A.B.C. is the circle assigned in which first I draw two diameters, in crosse waies, making iiij. righte angles, and those ij. diameters are A.C. and B.D. Then sette I my compasse (whiche is opened according to the semidiameter of the said circle) fixing one foote in the end of euery semidiameter, and drawe with the other foote twoo arche lines, one on euery side. As firste, when I sette the one foote in A, then with the other foote I doo make twoo arche lines, one in E, and an other in F. Then sette I the one foote of the compasse in B, and drawe twoo arche lines F. and G. Like wise setting the compasse foote in C, I drawe twoo other arche lines, G. and H, and on D. I make twoo other, H. and E. Then frome the crossinges of those eighte arche lines I drawe iiij. straighte lynes, that is to saye, E.F,
