A86058	The knowledge of things vnknowne Shewing the effects of the planets, and oth[er] astronomical constellations. With the strange events that befall men, wome[n] and children born under them. Compiled by Godfridus super palladium de agricultara [sic], Anglicarum. Together with the husband-mans practice, or prognostication for eve[r:] as teacheth Albert, Alkind, and Ptolomey with the shepheards prognostication of the weather, and Pythag[oras] his wheele of fortune. This is unknown to many men, though it be known to some [men.]	Godfridus.	1663 (1663)	Wing G929B; ESTC R228364	91,497	266

the uttermost of our knowing So that his Diamerer is not passing a thousand furlongs even throughout The Horizon that is imagined by understanding is for the speculation of the Sphear of the fixed Stars and he divideth the whole world into two parts Wherefore there is not the same Horizon throughout every Habitation and Town but to a mans witting he remaineth the same for the spare of four hundred furlongs almost So that the length of the dayes the Climats and all the apparances remain the same still but with the more number of furlongs for the diversity of the Habitation the Horizon the Climate yea and all the apparances shall vary so then change and habitation must néeds happen in geing Southward or Northward beyond four hundred furlongs And they that dwell in one parallel for every exceeding great number have a new Horizon but they keep the same Climate and all the apparances likewise the beginnings and endings of dayes change not at the self same time to all that dwell in the same Parallel But after very exact curiosity the least moving in the world hither or thither even for every point the Horizon is changed the Climate and the Apparances do vary The Horizon in the Sphears not after the manner described for al the other circles are carried together from east to west with the moving of the world and the Horizon is immov●able by his own nature as long as he keepeth the same scituation And so if the Horizon were set out in sphears when they should be turned about he might so happen to move and sometime to be over head and that were a thing most inconvenient and farthest out of reason in Sphear matter yet for all that there may be a place assigned for the circle Galaxias is left out in many sphears and it is one of the greatest circles and they be called the greatest circles which have the same center as the Spheare hath And there be seven of the greatest Circles the Equinoctial the Zodiack that which goeth through the midst of the Signs and that which goeth by the Poles the Horizon of every Habitation the Meridian and the Circle of Galaxias 41. Of the five Zones THe outward fashion of the Earth is spherical and divided into five Zones of whom two which be about the Poles are called the cold Zones because they be very far from under the course of the Sun and be little inhabited by reason of the great cold and their compasse is from the Artick to the Poles ward and the Zones that be next unto them because they be measurably scituate towards the course of the Sun be called temperate and above in the Firmament upon the Tropick and Artick Circles between whom they lye Now the fifth which among the said four Circles is middlemost for that it lighteth under the way of the Sun is named the hot and it is divided of the Equinoctial of the earth into two which lyeth all about under the Horizon in the frame of the Spheare 39. Of the Meridian Circles THe Meridian is a Circle that goeth thorow the Poles of the World and thorow the point that is just over our head In whom when the Sun is come to he causeth mid-day and mid-night and this Circle is also immoveable in the World as long as the self-same scituation is kept in all moving of the world Neither is this circle drawn in a Sphear that be painted with Stars because he is immoveable and receiveth no mutation but is mans conjecture by wit for three hundred Furlongs almost the Meridian abideth the same but after a more better exact imagination for every step either East or West maketh another Meridian but goe North or South even ten thousand furlongs and the same Meridian shall serve 40. Of the Circle Galaxias THe Circle of Galaxias oblique also and goeth over the tropicks awry and it is of the substance of five elouds and the onely visible Circle in the Heavens neither is it certain what breadth it is of for it is narrower in one place than in another and for that cause der the Equinoctial of the world But on the two temperate Zones one is inhabited of them that be in our habitation being in length nigh an hundred thousand furlongs and in breadth about half the same 42. Of the Coelestial Signs with their Stars THe Signs that be blazed with Stars are divided into thrée parts some of them be placed in the circle of the Zodiack some be called Northern and some be called Southern and they that be scituate in the circle of the Zodiack be twelve Beasts whose names we have declared in another place in which twelve Beasts there are divers Stars which for certain notable marks espied in them have taken their proper Names for the fixed Stars that be in the back of Taurus be called Pleiades and the Stars that be placed in the head of Taurus be fix in number and are called Hyades And the Stars that stand before the feet of Geminy are called Propus and the cloud like substance that is in Cancer is called Presepe and the two Stars that stand nigh Presepe are called Afini and the bright Star that is in the Heart of Leo according to the name of his place is the Lyons Heart and it is called of some men the royal Aar for that they that are born under it are thought to have a royal nativity The fair Star that sticketh at the fingers ends of the left hand of Virgo is called the Spike But the little Star that is fastned by the right wing of Virgo is named Protrigettes And the four Stars that be at the right hands end of Aquarius called Urna The Stars that be spread one after another behind Pisces taile are called the Lines And in the South Line there are aine Stars and in the North line five The bright Star that is seen in the Lines end is called Nodus So many are counted for the Forthern as be set betwixt the Zodiack and the North. And they be these Ursarmajor Ursarminor And Draco that lyeth betwixt both Ursa Arctophylax Corona Engonasin the Serpentine the Serpent the Harp the Bird the Arrow the Eagle the Dolphin Protomo Hippy the Horse that standeth by Hippachos Chepheus Cassiopeia Andromeda Perseus Auriga Deltoton And he that was stellifted of Callimacus Bernicks heir Again there be other Stars who for certain plain Apparances that they have in them have had their name given them For the notable Stars that lyeth about the midshanks of the Arctophilar is called Arcturnus And the shining Star that is set by the Harp even by the name of the whole Sign is called the harp and the Stars that be at the top of Perseus left hand are named the Gorgones and the thick small Stars that are espied at the right hands poin● of Perseus make as it were a Sythe And the clear Star that is set in the left shoulder of the Driver is called the
