Book I   Proposition 15
But since each of the two pairs of angles the angles CEA, AED and AED, DEB was proved equal to two right angles;
    therefore the angles CEA, AED are equal to the angles AED, DEB. [Post.4 and C.N.1]

    Let the angle AED be subtracted from each;
therefore
    the remaining angle CEA is equal to the remaining angle DEB. [C.N.3]
