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

is eder in our sight cannot be seen with them that dwell there and the other Pole which is ever out of our sight is in sight to them Again there is a place on earth where both the Poles have even like scituation in the Horizon 28. Of the Circle of the Sphear SOme of the Circles of the Sphear be parallels some be oblique some others goe crosse over the Poles The parallels are they that hath the same Poles as the World hath and there be five parallel circles the Artick the Estival Tropick the Equinoctial The Artick circle is even the greatest of all those circles that we have continually in sight and he scarcely toucheth the Horizon in the point and is altogether presented above the earch And all the Stars that are inclu●ed in this circle neither rise nor set but a man shall espie them all the night long kéep their course round about the Pole And that circle in our Habitation is drawn of the further foot of Ursamajor The Estival circle most Northward of all the circles that be made of the Sun whom when the Sun removeth into he turneth back from his Summer circuit then is the longest day of all the year and the shortest night and after the Summer return the Sun shall not be perceived to progresse any further toward the North but rather to recoil to the contrary parts of the world wherefore in Gréece this Circle is called Tropocos the Equinoctial Circle is the most greatest of all the five paralled circles and is so parted by the Horizon that the one half circle is above the earth the other half circle lyeth under the Horizon The Sun being in his circle causeth two Equinectials the one in the Spring and the other in the Harvest The Brumal Tropick is a circle most South of all the Circles that by the moving of the world be described of the Sun which when the Sun is once on red into he returneth back from his Winters progress then is the longest night and the shortest day in all the year And beyond this Winter mark the Sun progresseth never a whi● further but goeth into the other coasts of the World Wherefore this Circle is also named Trevicos as who so say returnable The Antartick Circle is equal in quantity and distance with the Artick Circle and toucheth the Horizon in one point and his course is altogether underneath the Earth and the Stars that be placed in this are alwayes invifible unto us The greatest of all the said Circles is the Equinoctial and then the Tropicks and the least I mean in our Habitation are the Artichs And these circles must be understood without breadth and be reasoned of by according to the scituation of the Stars and by the beholding of the Dioptra and but supposed onely in our Imagination for there is no circle séen in all the Heaven but only Galaxias As for all the rest they be conceived by imagination 29. The Reason why that five parallel Circles are onely in the Sphear FIve parallel Circles alone are wont to be described in the Sphear not because there be no more paralels than those in al the world For the Sun maketh every day one parallel Circle equally distant to the Equinoctial which may be well perceived with the turnning of the World Insomuch that 128 parallel Circles are twice described of the Sun between the Tropicks for so many dayes are within the two returns and all the Stars are dayly carrted withall round about in the parallel Circles Howbeit every one of them cannot be set out in the Sphear And though they be profitable in diverse things in Astrology yet it is impossible that the Stars may be described in the Sphear without all the parallel circles or that the magnitude on dayes and nights may be pr●cisely found out without the same parallels But in as much as they be not déemed so be so necessary for the first introduction of Astrology they are left out of the sphear But the five parallel circles for certain special instructions are exhibited The Artick circle severeth the Stars which we ever sée the Estival Tropick containeth the going back of the Sun and it is the further most part of the progresse into the North the Equinoctial circle containeth the Equinoctials and the Brumal Tropick is the furthermost point of the way of the Sun toward the South it is even the mark of the Winter return the Antartick circle determineth the Stars whom we cannot sée And so séeing that they are very expedient for the introduction into Astrology they be right worthy to take room in the Sph●ar 30. Of the five greater Circles of the Appearance and Non-appearance ef them ALso the said five parallel circles the Artick circle appeareth altogether above the earth and the Estival Tropick circle is divided into two parts of the Horizon whereof of the greater part is above the earth and the lesser lighteth underneath it Neither is this Tropick circle equally divided of the Horizon in every Town and Country but according to the variety of the Regions it hath diversities of uprising and this Estival circle is more unequally divided in the Horizon to them that dwell nearer the North than we do and further there is a place where the Estival Tropick is wholly above the earth and unto them that draw nearer unto the South than we the Estival Tropick is more unevenly parted in our Horizon Furtheremore there is a coast but south from us wherein the Tropick circle is equally divided of the Horizon But in our Habitation the Estival Tropick is so divided of the Horizon that the whole circle being divided into eight parts five parts shall be above the earth and thrée under the earth And indéed it séemeth that Aratus meant this Climate when as he wrote his book of Phaelomenon whereas he speaking of his Estival Tropick Circle saith on this wise When this Circle divided is into eight parts even just Five parts above the earth and three underneath remain needs must The restlesse Sun in Summer hot from this returneth back And so of this division it followeth the day to be of fiftéen Equiuoctial hours the night of nine Equinoctial hours long and in the Horizon of Rodes the Estival Tropick is so divided of the Horizon that the whole circle being divided into eightéen parts there shall appear 29 divisions above the Horizon and ninetéen under the earth by which division it appeareth that the longest day in the Rodes hath but fourtéen Equinoctial hours in it and the night nine Equinoctial hours with two half hours more beside The Equinoctial circle in every Habication is so justly divided in the middest by the Horizon that the one halfe circle is above the earth and the other half circle underneath the earth And this is the cause that the Equinoctials happen alwayes in this circle The Brumal Tropick circle is so divided of the Horizon that the lesser part shall

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

be above the earth and the greater part under the earth and the unequality of divisions hath even like diversity in all Climats as it is supposed to be in the Estival Tropick circle and by this means the divisions of both the Tropical circles be precisely correspondent each to other By reason whereof the longest day is of one length with the longest night and the shortest day equal with the shortest night The Antartick circle lyech every whit hid under the Horizon 31. Of the bigness of the five parallel circles BVt of the said five parallel Circles some keep still the same bigness throughout al the world and of some the bigness is altered by reason of the Climates so that some circles be bigger than other some lesser than other The Tropick circles and the Equinoctial do no where alter their quantities but the Articks vary in bigness for somewhere they appear bigger and somewhere lesser For unto the Northward dwellers the Artick circles seem bigger the Pole being raised or high the Artick circle touching the Horizon must needs also appear bigger and bigger continually and unto them that dwell further North sometime the Estival Tropick shall increase the Artick Circle so that the Estival Circle and the Artick also meet together and be taken but instead of one And in places that be yet further North the Artick Circles shall appear greater than the Estival Tropick Circle but there is a place so far North where that the Pole appeareth over head and the Artick circle serveth for the Horizon and remaineth with it in the moving of the world is as wide as the Equinoctial insomuch that the thrée circles to say the Artick the Equinoctial and the Horizon be placed in our order and scituation Again to them that dwell more south the Poles appear more lower and the Artick circles lesser Yet again there is a place being south in respect of us which lieth under the Equinoctial when the Poles be under the Horizon and the Artick circles are altogether gone so that of the five parallel circles there remain but three Circles that is the two Tropicks and the Equinoctial 32. Of the Number of the Parallels FOr al these spéeches it is not to be thought that there continue five paralels alwayes but so many to be imagined for our habitations sake for in some Horizons there be but thrée Paralels onely and there be Habitations on earth where the Estival Tropick circle toucheth the Horizon and even for the Tropick circle is the second taken which is called the Habitation under the Pole The third Habitation of whom we spake a little before which is named the habitation under the Equinoctial 33. Of the Order of the five parallel Circles THe order of the five parallel circles is not every where the same but in our Habitation the first shall be called the Artick the second the Estival Tropick the third the Equinoctial the fourth the brumal the fifth the antartick but to them that dwell more north then we sometime the first is accounted as the Estival Tropick the second as the Artick the third as the Equinoctial the fourth as the Antartick the fifth as the Brumal Tropick and because the Artick circle is wider than the Equinoctial the said order must needs be observed 34 Of the Power of the five Parallels LIkewise neither are the Powers of the same five parallel Circles alike For the Circle that is our Estival Tropick is to them that dwell in a contrary Habitation the Brumal Tropick Contrariwise that which unto them is the Estival Tropick circle is the Brumal Tropick unto us But such as dwell under the Equinoctial even the three Circles be in power Estival Tropicks unto them I mean them that dwell just under the course of the Sun for in conferring one to another that which is the Equinoctial with us shall be their Estival Tropick Circle And both the Tropicks shall be Brumals So then the Estival Tropick circle may be said by nature umversally all the world over which is next to the Habitation Therefore unto them that dwell under the Equinoctial the Equinoctial it self ferveth for the Estival Tropick as wherein the Sun hath his course dir●ctly over their head and all the parall●l Circles shall take the room of the Equinoctials being divided by equal divisions in the Horizon 35. Of the Space between the Parallels NEither the spaces of the circle one from the other do remain the Wine hrdughout all Habitations but after the description of the Sphears they are discussed on this sort Let any Meridian be divided into sixty parts he Artick shall be divided from the Pole sixty six parts off and the same on the other side shall be sixty five parts distant from the Estival and the Equinoctial shall be from either of the Poles sixty four divisions off The Brumal Tropick circle standeth from the Antartick sixty five parts off Neither have these circles the same distance betwéen them in every Town and Country but the Tropicks in every declination shall have even like space from the Equinoctial yet have not the Tropicks equal space from the Articks at every Horizon but in some place lesse and in some place more distance Likewise the Articks have not in every declination one certain space from the Poles but some where lesse and some where more All the Sphears be made for the Horizon of Greece 36. Of the Colours There are circles that go cross overthwart the Poles which of some men are called Colours and they be so framed that they contain within their circuit the Poles of the world be called Colours by reason of those portions of them that be not séen And for other Circles they be seen whole the world moving round about And there are certain parts of the coloursin visible even these parts that from the Antarick lie hid under the Horizon and these circles be signed by the Tropical points they divided into two equal parts of the circles that passeth through the midst of the Zodiack 37. Of the Zodiack THe circle of the twelve Signs is oblique and is compounded of three parallel circles of whom two are said to shew the breadth of the Zodiack and one is called passing thorow the middest Signs thus toucheth he the two equal circles and parallels the Cstival Tropick in the first degrée of Cancer and the Brumal Tropick in the first degree of Capricorn The breadth of the Zodiack is twelve degrees This circle is called oblique because he passeth over the parallels awry 38. Of the Horizon THe Horizon is a circle that divideth part of the World séen from the part that cannot be séen so he divideth the whole sphear of the world into two parts even that heleaveth the one half sphear above the Earth and the other half sphear underneath the earth And there be two Horizons one sensible the other imagined by understanding The sensible Horizon is that which of our sight is limited at
