A77689	Hydriotaphia, urne-buriall, or, a discourse of the sepulchrall urnes lately found in Norfolk. Together with the garden of Cyrus, or the quincunciall, lozenge, or net-work plantations of the ancients, artificially, naturally, mystically considered. With sundry observations. / By Thomas Browne D. of Physick.	Browne, Thomas, Sir, 1605-1682.	1658 (1658)	Wing B5154; Thomason E1821_3; ESTC R202039	74,321	222

opposite_o make_v acute_a and_o blunt_a angle_n and_o though_o therein_o we_o meet_v not_o with_o right_a angle_n yet_o every_o rhombus_fw-la contain_v four_o angle_n equal_a unto_o two_o right_a it_o
