the_o other_o by_o the_o solstist_n or_o sunstead_n and_o pole_n of_o the_o zodiac_n and_o both_o by_o the_o pole_n of_o the_o world_n where_o they_o be_v divide_v into_o three_o angle_n and_o by_o this_o mean_v they_o part_v as_o well_o the_o equinoctial_a as_o the_o zodiac_n into_o four_o part_n the_o part_n whereof_o answer_n together_o in_o just_a and_o equal_a proportion_n colour_n of_o two_o circle_n call_v colour_n these_o two_o circle_n have_v to_o name_v colour_n that_o be_v to_o say_v unperfect_a because_o they_o have_v a_o unperfect_a revolution_n in_o turn_v with_o the_o

the_o other_o the_o solstitial_a colour_n and_o the_o one_o pass_v by_o the_o circle_n of_o the_o zodiac_n at_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o sign_n aries_n &_o libra_n which_o be_v the_o equinoctial_a

solstitial_a colour_n comprise_v between_o the_o equinoctial_a and_o one_o of_o the_o solstist_n be_v the_o measure_n of_o the_o great_a declination_n of_o the_o sun_n which_o must_v of_o necessity_n be_v equal_a to_o the_o arck_n of_o that_o colour_n which_o be_v between_o one_o of_o the_o pole_n of_o the_o world_n and_o the_o next_o pole_n of_o the_o zodiac_n for_o by_o how_o much_o one_o
