[illustration] diagram
The one circle, which is the greattest and vttermost is A. B. C, the other circle that is ye lesser, and is drawen within the firste, is A. D. E. The cētre of the greater circle is F, and the centre of the lesser circle is G, the pointe where they touche is A. And now you may see the truthe of the theoreme so plainely, that it needeth no farther declaracion. For you maye see, that drawinge a line frome F. to G, and so forth in lengthe, vntill it come to the circumference, it wyll lighte in the very poincte A, where the circles touche one an other.
