circle_n round_o of_o honesty_n no_o end_n in_o it_o be_v find_v to_o square_a this_o circle_n many_o think_v it_o fit_a but_o side_n to_o take_v without_o end_n hard_o be_v it_o prudence_n and_o

these_o four_o line_n let_v they_o be_v cross_a parallel_n that_o they_o may_v be_v longitude_n and_o latitude_n to_o each_o other_o and_o at_o each_o end_n of_o every_o line_n make_v a_o point_n as_o

of_o honesty_n the_o trasection_n cut_a the_o line_n of_o wisdom_n into_o three_o part_n prudence_n experience_n and_o judgement_n then_o draw_v a_o line_n of_o discretion_n equal_a to_o the_o line_n
