Let the Angle be ABC, to be divided into two equal halves: Place the one foot of your Compasses at B, and extend the other at your pleasure to D and E; describe two Arches cut∣ting each other in the point F: So shall you divide the Angle ABC into two equal halves, if you draw a Line from B to F, with two Angles ABF, and FBC, as equal to the whole Angle ABC, being divided into two halves.
