〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 which is Duo because the naturall day is diuided into 2 parts to wit into Day Night or it may be called Dies à Dijs for the Planets be called Dij Gods whereof the dayes take their names Nox the Night is so called à Noceo noces because it is Tempus nocentibus aptum a fit time to do hurt and mischiefe CHAP. XVI Of the Weeke A Wéeke hath diuers names in Latine it is called Septimana à Septem and Mane as it were hauing septem Matutina tempora seauen mornings And so pars is taken pro toto It is also called Hebdomada ab 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 which is septem as containing seauen daies It is also called Sabbatum by the Iewes and therefore it is said in Scripture Ieiuno bis in Sabbato c. wherby Sabbatum is Aequiuocum ad totam septimanam And you must note that the Iewes Sabboth day was Saterday but the Christians obserued Sunday for to begin their wéeke because on that day our Lord was borne rose and sent his holy Ghost vpon his Apostles CHAP. XVII Of a Moneth Solar and Vsuall OF Moneths there be thrée kinds Solar Lunar and Vsuall The Solar moneth is the space of time that the Sun runneth through one signe of the Zodiacke being 30 dayes The Vsuall Moneth is the number of dayes according as they bee in our Kalender and amongst the Latines Romulus first distinguished the moneths diuiding the yeare into 10 moneths because in that time a woman might bring forth a childe or because during that time it was not fit for a woman to marry after the death of her husband The first moneth he called Martius à Marte of Mars his Father or rather of Mars in respect of warre because as then the Romane Kings were vsed to procéed in expeditions for it is rather thought that Amulius was Romulus his Father then Mars Amulius being his vnckle The next moneth he called Aprill ab Aperiendo because then the poares of the earth opened The third is May à Maioribus the fourth Iunius à Iunioribus The rest of the moneths were called Quintilis Sextilis September October Nouember and December because they were 5 6 c moneths distant from March But after Numa Pompilius added two more moneths to make them twelue calling the one Ianuary à Ianua because as you passe per Ianuam in atrium so per Ianuarium in annum or of Ianus the God of Merchandize who hauing two faces so Ianuary hath two respects the one to the yeare past the other to the yeare to come The other moneth he called February à Februo that is a Plutone because then the Romans offered sacrifice to Pluto and the infernall Gods for the soules of their ancestors or it is called February à Febre because as then in warme regions men were accustomed Febricitare that is to be sicke of an Ague so also may September be said quasi septimus ab imbre which is à Tempore pluuioso And to these moneths he gaue some 30 daies others 31 daies orderly so that when he came to Ianuary he wanted a day which he tooke from February which he restored againe in the Leape-yeare Then commeth Iulius Caesar and altereth the moneth Quintilis to Iuly calling it after his name for that hee was borne in that moneth After whom commeth Augustus and calleth the moneth Sextilis Augustus after his owne name and grudging that his moneth August should haue lesser dayes in it then Caesars moneth hee taketh another day from February adding the same to August and thereby left February but 28 dayes whereby hee did disorder the daies of the moneth that before did consist of 30 and 31 daies successiuely making Iuly August and September haue 31 dayes altogether and February but 28 dayes wherefore to auoid this inconuenience he was forced to take a day from September giuing it to October another from Nouember for December The which ordination of the moneths and position of dayes is vsed to this present time according to these verses Sep. No. Iun. Ap. dato triginta reliquis magic vno Nisit bissextus februus minor esto duobus Which is Thirty daies hath September Aprill Iune and Nouember The rest haue thirty and one Saue February alone Which moneth hath but eight and twenty meare Saue when it is Bissextile or Leape-yeare CHAP. XVIII Of the Lunar Moneth and the diuersities thereof OF Moneths Ioan. de sacro Bosco noteth 4 kinds as the moneth of Peragration of Apparition Medicinall and the moneth of Consecution The moneth of Peragration is a space of time containing daies 27 houres 7 minutes 43 seconds 7 thirds 15 fourths 36 fifths 55. In which space the Moone runneth through the 12 signes of the Zodiacke and is called of some a yeare of which yeares it is not much for one to liue 1000 for 80 Solar yeares make as many within 40. But this moneth is accomplished certaine minuts sooner or later according to her swift or slow motion The second is the Moneth of Aparition consisting of 28 dayes vulgarly diuided into foure wéekes The Moneth Medicinall containeth according to Galen 26 daies and a halfe and is also diuided into 4 wéekes The last is the moneth of Consecution being a space of time that the Moone departing from coniunction with the Sunne passeth round about the circls of the Zodiacke returning to the point where she left the Sunne finishing her Moneth of Peragration but finding the Sunne not there because he is carried by his owne proper motion neere one signe further shee is forced to spend two daies 4 houres 44 I. 3 II. and 16 III. to ouertake the Sunne before shee can come into coniunction againe so that this moneth is produced vnto 29 daies and a halfe c. and is called the Moneth of Consecution for that the Moone prosecutes to ouertake the Sunne CHAP. XIX Of the Lunar Yeare both Common and Extraordinary OF Lunar yeares there bee two kindes the one is called in Latine Annus Communis the other Embolismalis The common Lunar yeare is the space of 12 Moones not Moneths or changes which the Latines call Lunations it is called the common yeare Lunar in respect of his accord with the Solar yeare for as the one containes 12 Moones Lunar so the other consisteth of 12 moneths Solar the one hauing 365 dayes the other 354 dayes but in both there is omission of fractions so that the Solar yeare excéeds the common Lunar yeare 11 dayes of which the Epact is made The yeare called Annus Embolismalis is a space of 13 Moones containing 384 dayes so that this yeare exceedeth the common Lunar yeare 30 daies the Solar yeare 19 dayes it is called Embolismus ab Embolismo as Bissextilis is à Bis sex Sacro Bosco castles it Embolismus ab 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 which is quiddam insertum CHAP. XX. Of the Solar yeare and the Etymology thereof THe Astronomers make many diuisions of this

Cauda the taile because they appeare vnperfect or maimed being neuer séene all at once to vs but as it were the taile or some part cut off these two circles the one passe by the beginning of Cancer and Capricorne appointing the Sommer and Winter Solstitials the other by the beginning of Aries and Libra coequating the dayes and nights and crosse one the other with tight sphericall angles vpon the poles of the world and these 4 times are expressed in these 2 verses Hac duo Solstitium faciunt Cancer Capricornus Sed noctes aequant Aries Libra diebus CHAP. XII Of the foure lesser Circles in Heauen THese circles bee called lesser circles because they diuide not the spheare into two equall parts as the great circles doe and they bée foure in number called the two Polar circles and the two Tropickes of which Polar circles the one is called the Arctique the other the Antarctique both being made by the conuersion of the Poles of the Ecliptique so that they be alwaies distant as far from the poles of the world as the Sunnes greatest declination from the Equinoctiall commeth to which is 23 degrées 28 minutes the Arctique taketh his name of Arctos which is the Beare whose one fore-foote doth also describe this circle This circle is also called Septentrional of Septentrio which signifies 7 Oxen represented by the 7 starres in the lesser Beare The Tropickes take their names from the Greekes also à 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 which is conuersio or 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 which with Cicero lib. 2. de natura Deor. is Reuersio so that taking the Tropique from Tropos it is a conuersion or reuersion of the Sunne because being in either of these circles hée alwaies turneth againe towards the Equinoctiall CHAP. XIII Of Time TIme is the measurer of motion and as Armandus saith of Rest and Quietnesse containing thrée parts Past Present and to Come Time present called Nunc being a moment indiuisible or the least part of Time and yet the beginner and ender of time euen as a point is the least part of a line and yet beginneth and endeth the same for Nunc now this instant doth knit Tempus praeteritum futurum ending time past and beginning time to come There is also a space or time called Seculum An age in English being an hundred yeares at the end of which time in Rome they were vsed to celebrate Plaies called Ludi seculares There is another space of time containing a thousand yeares called Aeuum being ten Ages But Iohannes de sacro Bosco diuides the lesser parts of time into fiue parts as Quadrans the fourth part of the day or six houres an houre being the 24 part of a natural day 2 Punctus in the Sunnes account the 4 part of an houre in the Moones the 5 part 3 Momentum the 10 part of Punctus 4 Vncia the 12 part of Momentum and the last is Atomos the 44 part of Vncia CHAP. XIIII Of the day both Naturall and Artificiall and their diuers beginnings THe day is of two sorts Naturall and Artificiall the Naturall day is the space of 24 houres in which time the Sunne is caried by the first Mouer from the East into the West and so round about the world into the East againe The Artificiall day continues from Sunne rising to Sunne setting and the Artificiall night is from the sunnes setting to his rising And you must note that this naturall day according to diuers hath diuers beginnings as the Romanes count it from mid-night to mid-night because at that time our Lord was borne being Sunday and so do we account it for fasting dayes The Arabians begin their day at Noone and end at Noone the next day for because they say the Sunne was made in the Meridian and so doe all Astronomers account the day because it alwaies falleth at one certaine time The Vmbrians the Tuscan● the Iewes the Athenians Italians and Egyptians do begin their day at sunne set and so do we celebrate festiuall daies The Babylonians Persians and Bohemians begin their day at sunne rising holding till sunne setting and so do our Lawyers count it in England The Phisitians diuide the day into 4 quarters the first is from the 9 houre of the night to the 3 houre of the day warme and moist mouing to sanguine The second is from the 3 houre of the Artificiall day to the 9 houre warme and dry increasing choler The third is from the 9 houre to the 3. houre of the night cold and dry begetting melancholy The fourth is from the 3 houre of the night to the 9 againe cold and moist causing phlegme Ioannes de sacro Bosco diuides the Artificiall day thus into 4 quarters calling the first Rubens the second Splendens the third vrens the fourth Tepens whereupon the sunne is fained to haue 4 horses Eous Lampas Pyrois Phlegon The Iewes began at sun rising and so diuided the Artificial day into 4 quarters alotting to euery quarter 3 houres wherby also they diuided the day Artificiall into 12 equall parts calling euery part an houre and beginning at sunne rising so that 12 a clocke or high noone was their 6 houre and sunne set their 12 houre so that where the Scriptures say The Ague left him the seuenth houre that is at one a clocke so the labourers the came into the Vineyard at the 11 houre came at fiue of the clock but by this 5 a clock is meant the houre of the Artificiall day and not the Naturall day the which is knowne according to the time of the yeare for the Artificiall day is done some time of the yeare before 5 as in the 25 Chapter CHAP. XV. Of the names of the Dayes and their Etymologie THe Iewes call their first day Sabbatum the next Prima Sabbati the next secunda Sabbati c. according as is written Manè prima Sabbati surgens Dei filius that is the first day after the Sabboth which is our Sunday vpon which day the Romanes calling the Planets Gods began their account calling the first the day of the Sun the next of the Moone the next of Mars the next of Mercury the fifth of Iupiter the sixth of Venus and the last of Saturne still skipping to the third Planet because the 24 houres in the Artificiall day and night are giuen to the 7 Planets successiuely so that if Sol rule the first houre vpon Sunday as hee must because it is his owne day then Venus hath the next and so proceed giuing euery of the 24 houres a Planet in true succession you shall finde that the 24 houre which beginneth Munday falleth to the Moone therefore if any day be denominated by any one planet the next day following taketh denomination of the third Planet next following which order after the Christians obserued And you shall note that a day in Latine called Dies is so called à 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 which is Clarus or à 〈◊〉 〈◊〉
