The ex[illegible: 1 letter]ent, and proportions of the ground for the City, a square of 4500 shall be taken out of the middle of the 25000 for the Area or ground-plat of the City. So it shall be an equilateral square every side exactly the same North, South, East and West, 4500 a piece, by which measures the whole content is visible 18000 Cubits, not Reeds.
