 with right angles, yet every Rhombus 

 containing four Angles equall unto two 

 right, it virtually contains two right in 

 every one. Nor is this ftrange unto 

 fuch as obferve the naturall lines of 

 Trees, and parts difpofed in them* For 

 neither in the root doth nature affeft

 Dear the top will often come ffaort of
