PORTER Are to be sold by Robert Walton at the Globe and Compass in S. Paul's Churchyard on the North-side 1659. TO THE READER THe matter herein is very pleasant and exceeding useful for resolving many questions and doubts both in reference to Persons things great part past long since but being eminent and of much note Historians have thought good to Chronicle them men of this present generation being as ingenious and for the greater part more inquiring into things then formerly I have spent much time in gathering them together But it may be some will say that I have already published a good part hereof in another manner I answer it is true but I conceive of my self and also hearing from others that many would have it in this manner for asmuch as some would have it to be their Companion in their pockets others in their closets as well as some for ornament and use of the house And I had not then room for the Chronology nor had I finished it neither did I then think of several things that are now added And whosoever will may have the four Maps of the four parts of the World put into this Book and they are very useful for that things may be more fully seen and understood And thus wishing you as much profit and satisfaction in reading as I had in Collecting I bid you fare-wel and remain Yours THO. PORTER The Description and use of the FRONTISPICE THe Frontispice consisteth of certain Circles one within another the outermost whereof is divided in 12 equal parts and each of those parts is again d●vided into 30 smaller equal parts the 12 larger parts represent the 12 Signes of the Zodiack and the ●o smaller parts contein the degrees of each Signe in each 12th part there is written the name of the Signe it representeth and the degrees are numbred by 10 20 30. Within this Circle is another Circle which is divided into 12 unequal parts representing the 12 moneths of the year and those 12 parts are divided into other smaller parts namely into so many as there are dayes conteined in each moneth and those are numbred by 10 20 c. and the name of each moneth is written in its proper place Under the name of the moneth you have the names of such Holy or Festival dayes as are fixed in that moneth together with the day of the moneth upon which they constantly fall so under the moneth of July you shall find James Apost 25 which denotes unto you that the 25 day of July is St. Jamses day and so of all the rest Now the use of these Circles are chiefely two which are these 1 The day of the moneth being given to find in what Signe and degree of the Zodiack the Sun is 2 The degree in the Sun in the Zodiack being given to find the day of the moneth First Let the day of the moneth be given and let it be required to find the place of the Sun in the Zodiack to effect which seek the day of the moneth in the Circle of moneths and right against it you shall find the signe and degree in which the Sun is in the Zodiack Example Let the day of the moneth given be the 25th of July seek the 25th of July in the Circle of moneths which you shall find to stand at the letter a then right against it in the Circle of the 12 signes you shall find about 12 degrees of Leo and in that signe and degree is the Sun upon the 25th day of July which 12 degree stands at the letter b Secondly If the signe in which the Sun is had been given and it were required to find the day of the moneth then look in the Circle of signes for the signe and degree and right against it you shall have the day of the moneth Example Let the signe in which the Sun is be 12 degrees of Leo look in the Circle of Signes for 12 degrees of Leo which will be found at the letter b and right against it you shall find 25th day of July which is the day of the moneth required The like is to be done for any Signe and degree in the Zodiack and also for any day of the moneth in the whole year this is sufficient for example sake Within these Circles in a little square you have a Table which telleth you the day of the moneth for ever and may be called a perpetual Almanack the use whereof shall be declared but before that can be well understood you must know how To find the Sunday letter for ever THe Sunday Letter is alwayes one of these seven A B C D E F or G now to know which of the letters belongs to any year this Table annexed sheweth for ever The Table following begins at 1659 and ends at 1686. Now to know the Sunday letter for any year look in the Table for the year of our Lord and right against it you shall have the Sunday Letter Example I would know the Sunday letter for the year 1661 look in the Table for the year 1661 and right against it you shall find F so is F Sunday letter for all that year In 1663 D will be the Sunday letter In 1682 A will be Sunday letter In the year 1664 C and B will be Sunday letters and because there are two letters against that year as there is every 4th Years of our Lord Sunday Letter 1659 B   60 A G 1 F   2 E   3 D   4 C B 5 A   6 G

Theeves so called from the Natives theft who stole Magellanus's Cock-boat when he first entred in There are several others which I will not trouble my self to name but refer you to view them in their

we did in the other parts namely refer you to the Map of America or to large Maps of the World and the parts also With the which you may be fitted at the same place where this Book is said to be sold
