awl-point_n near_o one_o end_n and_o a_o slide_a button_n to_o be_v move_v pretty_a and_o stiff_o up_o and_o down_o and_o to_o be_v stay_v with_o a_o screw-pin_n or_o wedge_n at_o any_o distance_n with_o a_o other_o short_a point_n in_o the_o end_n thereof_o now_o we_o will_v show_v you_o how_o to_o continue_v your_o plot_n out_o of_o one_o ground_n into_o another_o that_o so_o you_o may_v lay_v all_o the_o ground_n of_o a_o lordship_n together_o in_o one_o entire_a plot_n by_o the_o chain_n only_o and_o that_o we_o will_v do_v by_o several_a rule_n for_o the_o understanding_n thereof_o we_o will_v refer_v you_o to_o the_o plot_n in_o the_o latter_a end_n of_o the_o three_o chapter_n as_o also_o in_o the_o end_n of_o the_o book_n the_o knowledge_n whereof_o consist_v in_o four_o rule_n in_o the_o obtain_n the_o first_o station_n line_n in_o the_o close_a which_o you_o go_v unto_o as_o for_o example_n first_o suppose_v i_o will_v go_v out_o of_o the_o first_o close_n at_o a_o and_o will_v plot_v the_o station-line_n agnostus_n now_o because_o in_o plot_v these_o kind_n of_o ground_n you_o must_v always_o reduce_v all_o into_o triangle_n therefore_o stand_v at_o a_o you_o may_v measure_v two_o chain_n length_n in_o the_o line_n of_o or_o agnostus_n likewise_o two_o chain_n backward_o from_o a_o towards_o b_o in_o the_o line_n ab_fw-la in_o the_o first_o close_a then_o measure_v the_o distance_n between_o those_o two_o length_n and_o plot_v they_o after_o this_o manner_n first_o your_o best_a way_n be_v though_o you_o have_v measure_v but_o two_o chain_n length_n a_o piece_n yet_o in_o stead_n of_o two_o take_v the_o double_a if_o the_o station-line_n be_v long_o you_o may_v treble_v that_o distance_n set_v one_o foot_n in_o a_o and_o extend_v the_o other_o towards_o b_o there_o make_v a_o prick_n in_o that_o line_n and_o tran_v from_o thence_o with_o that_o wideness_n where_o you_o think_v the_o line_n of_o or_o agnostus_n will_v fall_v then_o look_v what_o the_o distance_n be_v between_o the_o two_o line_n at_o the_o end_n of_o your_o two_o chain_n a_o piece_n if_o double_v before_o then_o double_a again_o that_o distance_n upon_o your_o scale_n and_o set_v it_o in_o the_o tran_v from_o the_o line_n ab_fw-la in_o the_o first_o close_n to_o the_o line_n of_o in_o the_o second_o and_o draw_v the_o line_n afg_v through_o that_o prick_n ad_fw-la infinitum_fw-la thus_o have_v you_o get_v a_o line_n in_o the_o second_o close_a by_o help_n of_o a_o part_n of_o the_o line_n ab_fw-la which_o in_o this_o kind_n you_o must_v always_o take_v viz._n that_o station-line_n whereof_o the_o whole_a or_o part_n belong_v to_o both_o the_o close_n but_o because_o in_o this_o case_n you_o must_v always_o mete_v through_o the_o hedge_n from_o the_o two_o chain_n of_o one_o close_a to_o the_o two_o chain_n of_o the_o other_o therefore_o to_o avoid_v the_o trouble_n of_o cut_v a_o hole_n through_o the_o hedge_n if_o there_o be_v ever_o a_o gap_n gate_n or_o style_v near_o unto_o those_o length_n you_o may_v take_v more_o or_o less_o of_o those_o two_o line_n as_o you_o please_v now_o because_o here_o be_v a_o gap_n at_o two_o chain_n and_o a_o half_a from_o a_o in_o the_o line_n ab_fw-la you_o may_v measure_v two_o chain_n and_o a_o half_a of_o either_o of_o they_o or_o two_o and_o a_o half_a in_o that_o and_o three_o in_o the_o other_o as_o you_o please_v and_o measure_v the_o distance_n upon_o the_o ground_n between_o those_o two_o prick_n than_o you_o may_v double_v all_o three_o distance_n upon_o your_o scale_n as_o afore_o and_o set_v out_o the_o proper_a distance_n between_o those_o two_o prick_n as_o afore_o and_o then_o draw_v your_o line_n agnostus_n upon_o your_o plot_n in_o the_o second_o close_a but_o three_o because_o we_o have_v measure_v the_o distance_n between_o a_o and_o x_o in_o the_o first_o line_n which_o be_v one_o side_n of_o the_o triangle_n of_o that_o second_o close_a and_o likewise_o have_v measure_v from_o a_o to_o g_o on_o the_o second_o side_n and_o have_v a_o gap_n also_o at_o x_o therefore_o if_o you_o measure_v gx_n you_o will_v have_v all_o the_o side_n of_o that_o great_a triangle_n which_o you_o may_v use_v as_o aforesaid_a first_o you_o have_v the_o line_n axe_n already_o place_v second_o take_v the_o length_n of_o agnostus_n with_o your_o compass_n upon_o your_o scale_n and_o with_o that_o wideness_n set_v one_o foot_n in_o a_o and_o tran_v where_o you_o think_v g_o will_v fall_v do_v likewise_o with_o the_o line_n gx_n take_v also_o upon_o your_o scale_n set_v one_o foot_n at_o x_o and_o the_o other_o be_v the_o foresay_a tran_v and_o there_o be_v your_o centre_n g._n and_o after_o the_o same_o manner_n may_v you_o go_v out_o of_o that_o close_a into_o the_o great_a close_a from_o g_o by_o help_n of_o the_o line_n ag._n now_o have_v the_o line_n of_o or_o agnostus_n you_o may_v easy_o set_v out_o the_o triangle_n afe_n as_o you_o do_v axg._n likewise_o you_o set_v out_o the_o triangle_n that_o be_v between_o the_o the_o line_n xg_n and_o the_o hedge_n between_o the_o two_o close_n only_o by_o the_o distance_n of_o g_z to_o the_o entrance_n of_o the_o great_a close_a a_o second_o way_n of_o go_v out_o of_o one_o close_a into_o another_o be_v when_o i_o have_v a_o station_n near_o the_o middle_n of_o a_o station-line_n and_o that_o there_o i_o will_v go_v into_o another_o close_a for_o example_n suppose_v i_o will_v go_v out_o of_o the_o great_a close_a into_o the_o first_o close_n right_o against_o the_o station-line_n bc_n in_o the_o first_o from_o l_o in_o the_o station-line_n of_o k_o then_o when_o you_o come_v right_a against_o bc_n the_o station_n line_n lengthen_v that_o line_n bc_n backward_o into_o the_o great_a close_a from_o l_o to_o m_o two_o chain_n length_n measure_v also_o two_o chain_n length_n in_o the_o station-line_n ik_fw-mi and_o measure_v two_o chain_n length_n from_o l_o to_z i_o back_o again_o and_o measure_v the_o distance_n between_o two_o chain_n of_o the_o one_o and_o two_o chain_n of_o the_o other_o and_o that_o give_v you_o the_o quantity_n of_o the_o angle_n kbc_n then_o from_o the_o line_n lk_n you_o may_v take_v from_o your_o scale_n four_o chain_n length_n and_o you_o may_v tran_v from_o the_o line_n kl_n towards_o the_o line_n lc_n or_o bc_n with_o one_o foot_n set_v in_o l_o and_o double_a the_o distance_n of_o the_o two_o prick_n in_o the_o other_o close_o and_o take_v that_o with_o your_o compass_n and_o set_v from_o the_o line_n lk_n to_o the_o lc_n and_o where_o it_o fall_v draw_v the_o line_n lc_n ad_fw-la infinitum_fw-la after_o the_o same_o manner_n may_v you_o have_v draw_v a_o line_n by_o the_o southside_n of_o the_o hedge_n by_o bc_n or_o lc_n also_o so_o may_v you_o at_o x_o in_o the_o first_o close_o have_v go_v either_o into_o the_o great_a close_a or_o into_o the_o little_a close_a by_o draw_v a_o station-line_n on_o which_o side_n of_o the_o

the_o great_a close_a into_o the_o little_a close_a at_o k_o if_o you_o have_v but_o continue_v your_o line_n lk_v to_o a_o and_o this_o be_v the_o easy_a way_n of_o all_o a_o four_o way_n if_o on_o the_o westside_n of_o the_o hedge_n ak_v there_o be_v a_o spinny_a wood_n of_o two_o or_o three_o pole_n broad_a all_o along_o by_o the_o side_n thereof_o and_o that_o you_o desire_v to_o go_v out_o of_o the_o first_o close_n into_o that_o little_a close_a but_o there_o be_v no_o gap_n save_v only_o you_o can_v strike_v a_o squire-line_n from_o the_o station-line_n ab_fw-la at_o either_o end_n of_o a_o &_o k_o then_o may_v you_o both_o at_o a_o and_o at_o x_o erect_v a_o perpendicular_a into_o the_o first_o close_a ward_n and_o then_o may_v you_o continue_v those_o two_o perpendicular_o so_o far_o as_o you_o shall_v need_v they_o till_o you_o be_v free_a from_o the_o spinny_n and_o may_v draw_v a_o line_n from_o one_o to_o the_o other_o by_o the_o spinny_a side_n and_o true_o plot_v out_o either_o perpendicular_a from_o the_o last_o station-line_n chap._n xii_o to_o measure_v a_o wood_n by_o the_o chain_n only_o because_o a_o wood_n can_v be_v measure_v on_o the_o inside_n and_o herefore_o no_o subtendent_o can_v be_v take_v as_o they_o may_v in_o pasture-ground_n we_o will_v therefore_o endeavour_v how_o to_o do_v it_o by_o take_v of_o angle_n with_o the_o chain_n but_o in_o all_o this_o that_o hitherto_o we_o have_v speak_v of_o measure_v by_o the_o chain_n only_o we_o will_v have_v you_o to_o understand_v that_o we_o

angle_n upon_o the_o same_o line_n as_o if_o it_o be_v the_o end_n of_o it_o and_o then_o make_v a_o new_a plot_n at_o home_n your_o own_o reason_n will_v direct_v you_o better_o than_o i_o can_v show_v it_o for_o it_o be_v easy_a perceive_v upon_o trial_n in_o the_o field_n then_o express_v by_o word_n or_o scheme_n but_o than_o you_o must_v lay_v down_o none_o but_o station-line_n and_o angle_n 3._o the_o most_o common_a help_v that_o surveyor_n use_n be_v to_o remove_v the_o paper_n near_o one_o end_n of_o the_o table_n and_o then_o with_o a_o piece_n of_o mouth-glue_a which_o they_o usual_o carry_v with_o they_o they_o glue_v on_o what_o paper_n they_o think_v they_o shall_v need_v and_o then_o fasten_v it_o down_o with_o the_o ruler_n again_o 4._o if_o your_o plain-table_n be_v also_o a_o pandoron_n or_o have_v a_o semicircle_n or_o a_o quadrant_n you_o may_v at_o any_o time_n either_o in_o this_o case_n or_o case_n of_o moist_a weather_n take_v off_o your_o paper_n and_o help_v yourself_o thereby_o as_o shall_v be_v show_v hereafter_o 5._o by_o the_o chain_n only_o and_o your_o field-book_n whereof_o also_o hereafter_o in_o its_o place_n eight_o before_o you_o begin_v you_o must_v know_v that_o both_o at_o the_o beginning_n and_o end_v of_o every_o station-line_n and_o every_o crook_n of_o the_o hedge_n both_o inward_a and_o outward_a you_o must_v measure_v the_o near_a distance_n between_o the_o station-line_n and_o the_o hedge_n for_o all_o breadth_n must_v cut_v the_o station-line_n squirewise_a and_o so_o make_v two_o right_a angle_n at_o the_o station-line_n and_o that_o be_v the_o best_a way_n and_o so_o do_v all_o the_o piece_n on_o the_o outside_n the_o station-line_n will_v be_v either_o rectangle_n triangle_n or_o else_o compound_v of_o a_o oblong_a and_o a_o rectangle_n triangle_n the_o area_n of_o both_o which_o be_v find_v by_o add_v the_o breadth_n at_o both_o end_n together_o and_o take_v ½_o of_o it_o for_o the_o common_a breadth_n which_o multiply_v by_o the_o whole_a length_n and_o you_o have_v the_o content_a and_o sometime_o your_o best_a way_n to_o find_v the_o short_a distance_n into_o a_o angle_n be_v to_o set_v up_o the_o table_n right_a in_o the_o station-line_n if_o stand_v at_o the_o fore-mark_a you_o see_v by_o the_o edge_n of_o the_o table_n the_o back_a mark_n and_o then_o stand_v at_o the_o back_a end_n you_o see_v the_o fore-mark_a then_o be_v you_o right_o in_o the_o line_n if_o now_o withal_o one_o or_o both_o of_o your_o other_o side_n look_v right_a into_o the_o angle_n then_o be_v you_o right_o and_o all_o these_o line_n must_v be_v enter_v into_o your_o field-book_n which_o fall_v perpendicular_a upon_o the_o station-line_n every_o one_o in_o their_o order_n on_o the_o

before_o you_o go_v forward_o you_o must_v propound_v to_o yourself_o a_o mark_n to_o go_v upon_o on_o the_o far_a side_n the_o ground_n or_o if_o it_o be_v quite_o beyond_o the_o ground_n though_o
