ngle limited, accordyng to the conclusion.

_Example._

B.C.G, is the triangle appoincted vnto, whiche I muste make an
equall likeiamme. And D, is the angle that the likeiamme must
haue. Therfore first entendyng to erecte the likeiamme on the one
side, that the ground line of the triangle (whiche is B.G.) I do
draw a gemow line by C, and make it parallele to the ground line
B.G, and that new gemow line is A.H. Then do I raise a line from
B. vnto the gemowe line, (whiche line is A.B) and make an angle
equall to D, that is the appointed angle (accordyng as the
.viij. conclusion teacheth) and that angle is B.A.E. Then to
procede, I doo parte in y^e middle the said ground line B.G, in
the prick F, from which prick I draw to the first gemowe line
(A.H.) an other line that is parallele to A.B, and that line is
E.F. Now saie I that the likeiamme B.A.E.F, is equall to the
triangle B.C.G. And also that it hath one angle (that is B.A.E.)
like to D. the angle that was limitted. And so haue I mine
intent. The profe of the equalnes of those two figures doeth
depend of the .xli. proposition of Euclides first boke, and is
the .xxxi. proposition of this second boke of Theoremis, whiche
saieth, that whan a tryangle and a likeiamme be made betwene
.ij. selfe same gemow lines, and haue their ground line of one
length, then is the likeiamme double to the triangle, wherof it
foloweth, that if .ij. suche figures so drawen differ in their
ground line onely, so that the ground line of the likeiamme be
but halfe the ground line of the triangle, then be those .ij.
figures equall, as you shall more at large perceiue by the boke
of Theoremis, in y^e .xxxi. theoreme.

THE .XVI. CONCLVSION.

To make a likeiamme equall to a triangle appoincted,
accordyng to an angle limitted, and on a line also assigned.

In the last conclusion the sides of your likeiamme wer left to
your libertie, though you had an angle appoincted. Nowe in this
conclusion you are somwhat more restrained of libertie sith the
line is limitted, which must be the side of the likeiamme.
Therfore thus shall you procede. Firste accordyng to the laste
conclusion, make a likeiamme in the angle appoincted, equall to
the triangle that is assigned. Then with your compasse take the
length of your line appointed, and set out two lines of the same
length in the second gemowe lines, beginnyng at the one side of
the likeiamme, and by those two prickes shall you dra
