Obfervations on Fig. 5, 6,7, inflate 27. 



You are to fix in the Stakes between the 

 Angles of the Baftions (firftj having the Stakes 

 drove down very firm, fo that no common 

 Accident may move them out of their Places, 

 or fink them below, or raife them above, 

 their Level) betwixt the firft middle Line of 

 Stakes and thofe x'\ngles, about 50 Foot afun- 

 der, you are to pur in Stakes for the forming 

 your Slope, as in Fig. 7, Flate 27. Which 

 Stakes being levelTd in, as is feen in the 5th 

 Figure, you are to ftrain the Line, as in the 

 7rh, Diagonal-ways ; thirty Foot is, indeed, 

 full long to ftrain a Line, but the Stake ought 

 to be well fix'd in, and then, by a Twift, 

 you may drain the Line as tight as you will, 

 the Line being made of the ftrongeft fmall 

 Cord, or large Twift 5 or, otherwife, you 

 may fet the Stakes in, at 15 Foot afunder ^ 

 but this is to defcribe the Method in general. 



You are to begin (as is before direfted) at 

 the Top of your Work, and are to cur the 

 firft Slope quite out of whole Ground, that 

 the fuperfluous Ground, that is par'd off, may 

 be tumbled down, to make good any Defici- 

 ency that is underneath.
