Suppose the Altitude A. B. the Glass or Bole of Water imagine to stand at the prick in the square C. you standing at D. your Eye at E. seeth the top A. in the middle of the square, your distance from D. to the middle of the square, is 7 foot and a half:

Your distance from your Eye to the Ground E. D. 5 foot.

The Distance from the middle of the square to the prick at the foot or base B. is 120 foot.

(See Fig. 11.)

As 7.5: is to 5, so is 120 to 80 foot; or adde a Cypher to the 600, and a Cy∣pher to the 7 foot and ½, and divide as before.

Thus may you take the heighth exactly.
