frbm Corner to Corner, which will give you the middle 

 Lines oF your Walks ; and in the Place where they inter- 

 fed one another, as at G, fix a Pole, which lliall be the mid- 

 dle Point ; then meafure the Breadth of tliefe Walks upon 

 the Plan, fuppofe two Fathom, and at both Ends fetoff one 

 Fathom each way from the middle Line, and fet Stakes 

 there for ranging the Sides of your Walks. After whicli, 

 meafure with the Fathom the two Breadths of the Wood 

 ^ B and C D, and the two Lengths A C and B D, beginning 

 from the Corner Stakes, and mark the exad; Middles above 

 and below, by die Stakes E and f F, and prolong thefe 

 Lines by other Stakes, the whole Length and Breadth. As. 

 for . the Hall in the Middle, which is a long Square or Pa- 

 rallelogram, meafure upon the Plan, Fig. 3. how many Fa- 

 thom there are from the Middle-Point of the. Bafon to the^ 

 Center of the circular Segments, which Length you 11 find 

 by the Scale to be five Fathom : Set off v;po.n the Ground, 

 Fig. 4. on the Line E E, and from the Middle-Point G, 

 five Fathom on each Side, and drive Spikes there, as H and /, 

 which ftall be the two Centers- for all your circular Parts. 

 Set the Semi-circle exadly over one of thefe, as and di- - 

 rcftjng the Bafe to anfwer the, Line £ G E, fet the Alhidade 

 or Moveable-Index upon 90 Degrees, to return yourSqmre, 

 and to fet out the Line KK ; upon which, from the Spike 

 H, meafure on each Side half the Breadth -of the- Bafon, 

 which is two Fathom and a half, where you are- to ftick 

 Spikes from which to fet off the Breadth of die Walks 

 about the Bafon, which, according to the Plan, is likewife 

 two Fathom and a Iialf- You then move the. Semi-circle ta 

 the other End, as to the Center /, for raifingthe fquareLine 

 L upon which you carry the fame Meafures, as you did 

 before upon the Line /C/f, and fet off beyond it, from the 

 Line LD, the Breadth of the End-Walks, which is two Fa- 

 thom and a half, for drawing the Line MM, and do, the 

 fame Thing from the Line K /C, for drawing at that End 

 the Line N Range all thefe Luies from one End to the o- 

 ther, and trace them out by ftraining the Cord from Spike 

 to Spike, and terminating them by theRanging-Stakes upon 

 the Sides of the two Diagonal-Walks A D and C B. This
