from D to the Eye, and another through the Eye

Then the Parallels O M and F C are at the
ſame Diſtance from each other, as L D is from
E B; whence it follows, that F O is equal to E D,
and therefore O D is parallel to A F. Whence 1113: the Appearance of E A, is a Part of E D. And
after the ſame Manner we prove, that the Re-
preſentation of B A is a Part of B a.

When there are no Lines drawn, and we
would uſe this Method, the Horizontal Line
may be laid aſide; and then having firſt drawn
the Geometrical Line, whoſe Diſtance from
the Baſe Line is equal to the Length of the Ray,
we aſſume the Diſtance from the Eye to the
Geometrical Line, equal to the Height of the
Eye.
