I set one foote in the line FG, drawing with the other the arke KI. This done, I open my compasse to the di∣stance of DE, and placing one foote in K, with the other I crosse the arcke in I, finally, laying the ruler to I and F, I draw the line FH. and thus haue I made the angle HFG. equall to the firste angle BAC.
