2. In Sphaera, maximi circuli sese mutuo bifariam secant, & qui sese mutuo bifariam secant, sunt maximi.
3. In Sphaera, polus maximi circuli abest a circumferentia ejusdem cir∣culi quadrante maximi circuli.
4. In Sphaera, paralleli circuli circa eosdem polos sunt, & qui circa eosdem polos in Sphaera sunt, sunt paralleli.
5. In Sphaera non sunt plures circuli aequales, & paralleli quam duo.
Haec Scientia praeterea docet qui cen∣trum, polumque cujuscumque Sphaerae invenire possimus, indicatque pariter proprietates circulorum Sphaerae.
