Set your Compasses to 5, and on the ends of the left hand line describe two occult Arches, through whose Convex points draw a straight line from the Perpendicular into the Top-line for the outer bounds of the left hand side. Then set your Compasses to 1, and on the ends of the right hand line describe two other occult Arches, through whose Convex points draw another straight line into the Top-line, for the outer bounds of the right side. Then set off in the Foot-line and Top-line 1 on the right hand the Perpendicular, and 4 on the left hand the Perpendicular, and by a Ruler laid to the settings off on either side the Perpendicular draw straight lines from the Body of Y into the Foot-line. The Footing and Topping is made as before.
