Axiomatic proof of $vdash_{S4} square Prightarrowsquarelozengesquare P$ in S4
$begingroup$
As the title explains, I'm trying to give an axiomatic proof of $vdash_{S4} square Prightarrowsquarelozengesquare P$.
This is quite simple to prove in B, but I'm struggling to see how it's done in S4. I'd really appreciate any help you could offer.
In S4, I have the following axioms:
A1: $phirightarrow (psi rightarrow phi)$
A2: $(phi rightarrow (psi rightarrow chi))rightarrow((phirightarrowpsi)rightarrow(phi rightarrowchi)) $
A3: $(text{~}psi rightarrow text{~}phi)rightarrow((text{~}psi rightarrow phi)rightarrowpsi)$
K: $square(phirightarrowpsi)rightarrow (squarephirightarrowsquarepsi)$
T: $squarephi rightarrow phi$
S4: $squarephirightarrowsquaresquarephi$
and the rules necessitation (i.e. we can make $phi$ into $squarephi$ for any sentence $phi$ and modus ponens.

Perhaps remind the reader what the axioms of S4 are?

@rrogers In classical modal logic, $lozenge$ can be taken as an abbreviation for $lnotsquarelnot.$ (In much the same sense that $exists x$ can be taken as an abbreviation for $lnotforall xlnot$ in classical first order logic.) The meaning of these things can’t be summarized in a comment; if you’re interested, consult a reference on modal logic.

From contrapositive of axiom T, $Atolozenge A,$ applying necessitation and taking $A=square P$ gives $square(square Pto lozengesquare P),$ which via K gives $squaresquare Pto squarelozengesquare P.$ Then axiom $square Pto square square P$ finishes it off.
