be_v a_o thing_n little_o seek_v after_o and_o less_o understand_v by_o those_o who_o it_o most_o near_o concern_v chi._n this_o be_v a_o thing_n i_o never_o before_o hear_v of_o nor_o can_v at_o

the_o zodiac_n to_o be_v the_o cause_n which_o i_o incline_v to_o but_o the_o cause_n of_o this_o cause_n i_o suppose_v all_o be_v ignorant_a of_o because_o god_n in_o his_o word_n never_o reveal_v it_o and_o for_o any_o other_o way_n of_o know_v it_o i_o suppose_v it_o be_v so_o far_o from_o our_o attainment_n that_o the_o wisdom_n of_o the_o best_a astronomer_n will_v in_o this_o prove_v but_o foolishness_n however_o they_o may_v otherwise_o pretend_v chi._n what_o reason_n have_v you_o to_o believe_v the_o sun_n unequal_a course_n to_o be_v the_o cause_n art_n because_o the_o sun_n in_o its_o motion_n through_o the_o zodiac_n pass_v equal_a arch_n in_o unequal_a time_n by_o reason_n of_o its_o swift_a and_o slow_a motion_n whereby_o he_o fulfil_v his_o course_n from_o libra_n to_o aries_n in_o 178_o day_n which_o be_v the_o winter_n half-year_n but_o in_o pass_v from_o aries_n to_o libra_n he_o take_v up_o 187_o day_n which_o be_v the_o summer_n half-year_n be_v nine_a day_n long_o in_o pass_v through_o the_o semi●cliptick_a of_o the_o summer_n than_o she_o be_v through_o that_o of_o the_o winter_n now_o the_o sun_n be_v thus_o swift_a and_o slow_a in_o motion_n can_v give_v a_o true_a and_o constant_a hour_n by_o its_o shadow_n one_o a_o sundial_n for_o the_o motion_n of_o the_o primum_fw-la mobil_n finish_v its_o course_n in_o exact_a time_n i._n e._n in_o twenty_o four_o hour_n which_o well_o agree_v with_o the_o sun_n mean_a motion_n near_o the_o equinoctial_a but_o when_o the_o sun_n be_v in_o its_o swift_a motion_n as_o it_o happen_v when_o

consequence_n every_o particular_a hour_n in_o the_o twenty_o four_o must_v be_v somewhat_o long_o than_o those_o in_o the_o aequator_fw-la but_o when_o she_o happen_v to_o have_v slow_a motion_n as_o

must_v also_o be_v short_a chi._n how_o this_o swift_a and_o slow_a motion_n of_o the_o sun_n shall_v c●use_v this_o inequality_n in_o time_n i_o can_v well_o understand_v suppose_v there_o be_v on_o a_o instrument_n two_o circle_n draw_v concentric_a and_o the_o outmost_a circle_n shall_v be_v graduate_v into_o 360_o degree_n and_o every_o degree_n into_o sixty_o minute_n and_o suppose_v that_o upon_o this_o circle_n thus_o graduate_v there_o shall_v some_o certain_a figure_n move_v as_o it_o be_v natural_o from_o west_n to_o east_n which_o in_o twenty_o four_o hour_n shall_v move_v almost_o fifty_o nine_o minute_n of_o a_o degree_n suppose_v likewise_o that_o in_o this_o time_n of_o move_v fifty_o nine_o minute_n the_o innermost_a circle_n shall_v complete_o the_o same_o way_n make_v

move_v fifty_o nine_o minute_n of_o a_o degree_n then_o suppose_v this_o figure_n on_o the_o graduated_a circle_n shall_v increase_v its_o motion_n and_o shall_v move_v sixty_o one_o minute_n of_o a_o degree_n in_o the_o same_o time_n as_o it_o before_o move_v but_o fifty_o nine_o this_o must_v needs_o cause_v the_o innermost_a circle_n who_o before_o in_o twenty_o four_o hour_n finish_v its_o course_n from_o one_o conjunction_n to_o another_o when_o the_o figure_n move_v but_o fifty_o nine_o in_o twenty_o four_o hour_n to_o be_v long_a time_n now_o then_o twenty_o four_o hour_n in_o pass_v from_o one_o conjunction_n to_o another_o because_o the_o figure_n move_v fast_o and_o so_o by_o consequence_n require_v more_o time_n to_o be_v overtake_v than_o it_o do_v in_o its_o mean_a motion_n the_o same_o reason_n be_v also_o for_o its_o slow_a motion_n for_o if_o the_o figure_n move_v less_o than_o fifty_o nine_o as_o suppose_v fifty_o eight_o or_o fifty_o seven_o minute_n there_o be_v less_o time_n require_v for_o the_o prymoby_n like_o motion_n of_o the_o innermost_a circle_n to_o overtake_v it_o than_o twenty_o four_o hour_n chi._n what_o do_v you_o infer_v from_o hence_o art_n from_o hence_o we_o may_v infer_v that_o if_o the_o hour_n give_v by_o a_o sundial_n increase_n or_o decrease_v in_o length_n accord_n to_o the_o slow_a or_o swift_a motion_n of_o the_o sun_n that_o
