I draw a cantle of a cir¦cle, whiche is A.B.C. Now saieth the Theoreme, that it is not possible to draw an o∣ther cantle of a circle, whi∣che shall be vnequall vnto this first cantle, that is to say, other greatter or lesser then it, and yet be lyke it also, that is to say, that the angle in the one shall be equall to the angle in the other. For as in this example you see a lesser cantle drawen also, that is A.D.C, so if an an∣gle were made in it, that angle would be greatter then the an∣gle made in the cantle A. B. C, and therfore ban not they be cal∣led lyke cantess, but and if any other cantle were made great∣ter then the first, then would the angle it it be lesser then that in the firste, and so nother a lesser nother a greater cantle can be made vpon one line with an other, but it will be vnlike to it also.
