THE XXXIII. CONCLVSION.

To make a square quadrate in a circle assigned.

Draw .ij. diameters in the circle, so that they runne a crosse,

and that they make .iiij. right angles. Then drawe .iiij. lines,

that may ioyne the .iiij. ends of those diameters, one to an

other, and then haue you made a square quadrate in the circle

appointed.

_Example._

[Illustration]

A.B.C.D. is the circle assigned, and A.C. and B.D. are the two

diameters which crosse in the centre E, and make .iiij. right

corners. Then do I make fowre other lines, that is A.B, B.C,

C.D, and D.A, which do ioyne together the fowre endes of the ij.

diameters. And so is the square quadrate made in the circle

assigned, as the conclusion willeth.
