great bete otherwyse called Charles wayne Vrsa maior The ✚ Sommer Estiuall circle is most Northward of al the circles that be made of the sonne Whom whan the Sonne remoueth into he returneth backe from his sōmers circuite than is the longest day of all the yere and the shortest night and after this sōmer returne the Sonne shall not be perceyued to progresse any ferther toward the north but rather to recoyle into the contrary partes of the world wherfore in Greke this Circle is called † The returne Ionixos The Equinoctiall circle is the most greatest of all the .v. parallel circles and is so parted of the Horizon that the one halfe circle is aboue the earth the other halfe circle lyeth hyd vnder the Horizon The sonne beynge in this circle causeth .ij. Equinoctials one in the sprynge tyme and the other in Haruest The * Wynter Brumal tropik is a circle most South of all the circles that by the mouynge of the worlde be described of the sonne whiche whan the sonne is once entred into he turneth backe frō his wynters progresse than is the longest nyght and the shortest day in all the yere longe And beyonde this wynter marcke the sonne progresseth neuer a whyt farther but goeth into the other coostes of the worlde wherfore this circle is also named Thonixos as who saye returnable The † Right contrary to the Arctik Antarctik circle is equal in quantytie and distaunce with the Arctik circle and toucheth the Horizon in one poyncte and his course is all together vnder neth the earth and the Starres that be placed in this ar alwayes inuisible vnto vs. The greatest of all the sayd circles is the Equinoctial and than the Tropikes And the leste I meane in our habitacion ar the Arctikes and these circles must be vnderstande without bredth and be reasoned of accordyng to the situaciō of the starres and by the beholding of the † An instrument of geometre Dioptra And but supposed onely in our imagination For there is no Circle sene in al the heauen but onely ‡ Cōmenly called the waye to Ierusalem or the waye to saynte Iames. Galaxias As for al the rest they be conceyued by imaginacion ¶ The reason why fyue parallel circles are onely in the Sphere FYue † Euen lyke fat parallel Circles alone are wont to be descrybed in the Sphere not bycause there be no mo parallels than these in al the worlde For the Sonne maketh euery day one parallel circle equaly dystaunt to the Equinoctiall whiche may well be perceyued with the turnynge of the worlde In so moch that .clxxxij. parallel circles twyse be descrybed of the sonne betwene the tropikes for so many dayes are within the two returnes and all the starres are daylye caryed withall rounde aboute in the parallalel circles Howe be it euer ye one of them can not be set oute in the Sphere And though they be profectable for dyuers thynges in * It is almoste as moch to say as Astronomie Astrologia yet is it impossyble that euen the starres may be descrybed in the Sphere without all the parallel circles or that the * length Magnytude of dayes and nyghtes may be precisely founde out without the same parallels but in as moche as they be not demed to be so necessary for the fyrste Introduction of Astrologie they are left out of the Sphere But the fyue parallel circles for certayne special instruction that they exhybyte for the fyrste in syght of Astrologie be described in the Sphere The Arctik circle seuereth the Starres whiche we euer se the Estiual tropik contayneth the goyng backe of the 〈◊〉 Sonne and it is the furthermoste parte of his progresse into the North. And the equinoctial Circle contayneth the Equinoctials And the Brumall tropik is the farther most poynct of the way of the sonne toward the South and is euen the marcke of the wynter returne The Antarctik Circle determyneth the Starres whom we can not se And so seynge that they be very expedient for the introduction in to Astrologie they be ryght worthy to take rome in the Sphere ¶ Of the apparaunce none apparaunce of the fyue parallel circles ALso of the sayde fyue parallel circles the Arctik circle appereth altogither aboue the earth And the estiual tropik circle is deuyded into .ij. partes of the Horizon wherof the greater parte is aboue the earth and the lesser lygheth vnderneth it Neyther is this Tropik Circle equaly deuyded of the Horizon / in euery Towne and Countrey but accordynge to the veriete of the Regions it hath diuersities of vprysynges and this Estiual circle is more vnegually deuided in the Horizon to thē that dwell nerer the North than we do and farther there is a place where the Estiual tropik is wholy aboue the erth And vnto them that drawe nerer to the South than we the Estiual Tropik is more vneuenly parted in the Horizon Farthermore there is a cooste but south from vs wherin the tropik Circle is equaly deuyded of the Horizon But in our habitacion the Estiuall tropik is so deuided of the Horizon that the whole circle beyng deuyded into viij partes .v. partes shall be aboue the earth and .iij. vnder the erth And in dede it semeth that Aratus ment by this ‡ A porcion of the worlde betwene north South wherein is varyacion of tymes c.

Equinoctial houres with .ij. half houres more besyde The Equinoctiall circle in euery habytacion is so iustly deuyded in the myddes by the Horizon that the one halfcircle of it is aboue the earth and the other halfcircle is vndeneth the erth And this is the cause that the † Equal Length of daye ryght Equinoctials happen alwayes in this circle The Brumal tropik circle is so deuidd of the Horizon that the lesser parte shall be aboue the erth and the greter parte vnder the erth and the vnequalte of deuisions hath euen lyke diuersite in all climats as it is supposed to be in the Estiual tropik circle and by this meane the deuisions of both the tropicall circles be precysely correspondent eche to other By reason wheof the longest day is of one length
