A48262	Mathematicall recreations. Or, A collection of many problemes, extracted out of the ancient and modern philosophers as secrets and experiments in arithmetick, geometry, cosmographie, horologiographie, astronomie, navigation, musick, opticks, architecture, statick, mechanicks, chemistry, water-works, fire-works, &c. Not vulgarly manifest till now. Written first in Greeke and Latin, lately compi'ld in French, by Henry Van Etten, and now in English, with the examinations and augmentations of divers modern mathematicians whereunto is added the description and use of the generall horologicall ring: and the double horizontall diall. Invented and written by William Oughtred.; Récréation mathématique. English.	Oughtred, William, 1575-1660. aut	1653 (1653)	Wing L1790; ESTC R217635	140,825	339

Compasses so much is the distance between the two places If the distance of two places be required in a particular Map then with the Compasses take the distance between the two places and apply it to the scale of Miles so have you the distance if the scale be too short take the scale between the Compasses and apply that to the two places as often as you can so have you the distance required Of the Longitude Latitude Declination and distance of the Starres THe Declination of a starre is the nearest distance of a Star from the Aequator the Latitude of a Starre is the nearest distance of a Sarre from the Ecliptick the Longitude of a Starre is an Ark of the Ecliptick conteined between the beginning of Aries and the Circle of the Starres Latitude which is a circle drawne from the Pole of the Ecliptick unto the starre and so to the Ecliptick The distance between two Sarres in Heaven is taken by a Crosse-staffe or other Instrument and upon a Globe it is done by taking between the feet of the Compasses the two Starres and applying it to the Aequator so have you the distance betweene those two starre● How is it that two Horses or other creatures being foaled or brought forth into the world at one and the same time that after certaine dayes travell the one lived more dayes than the other notwithstanding they dyed together in one and the sam● moment also THis is easie to be answered let one of them travell toward the West and the other towards the East then that which goes towards the West followeth the Sunne and therefore shall have the day somewhat longer than if there had been no travell made and that which goes East by going against the Sunne shall have the day shorter and so in respect of travell though they dye at one and the selfe same houre and moment of time the one shall be older than the other From which consideration may be inferred that a Christian a Jew and a Saracen may have their Sabbaths all upon one and the same day though notwithstanding the Saracen holds his Sabath upon the Friday the Jew upon the Saturday and the Christian upon the Sunday For being all three resident in one place if the Saracen and the Christian begin their travell upon the Saturday the Christian going West and the Saracen Eastwards shall compasse the Globe of the earth thus the Christian at the conclusion shall gaine a day and the Saracen shall lose a day and so meet with the Jew every one upon his owne Sabbath Certaine fine observations 1 UNder the Equinoctiall the Needle hangs in equilibrio but in these parts it inclines under the Horizon and being under the Pole it is thought it will hang verticall 2 In these Countreys which are without the Tropicall Circles the Sunne comes East and West every day for a halfe yeare but being under the Equinoctiall the Sun is never East nor West but twice in the yeare to wit the 10. of March and the 13 of September 3 If a ship be in the Latitude of 23 gr 30 m. that is if it have either of the Tropicks verticall then at what time the Sunnes Altitude is equall to his distan●e from any of the Equinoctiall points then t●e Sunne is due East or West 4 If a ship be betweene the Equinoctiall and either of the Tropicks the Sunne will come twice to one point of the compasse in the forenoone that is in one and the same position 5 Vnder the Equinoctiall neare Guinea there is but two sorts of windes all the year 6 moneths a Northerly winde and 6 moneths a Southerly winde and the flux of the Sea is accordingly 6 If two ships under the Equinoctiall be 100. leagues asunder and should sayle Northerly untill they were come under the Articke circle they should then be but 50 leagues asunder 7 Those which have the Artick circle verticall when the Sunne is in the Tropick of Cancer the Sun setteth not but toucheth the western part of the Horizon 8 If the complement of the Sunnes height at noon be found equall to the Sunnes Declination for that day then the ●quinoctiall is verticall or a shippe making such an observation the Equinoctiall is in the Zenith or direct over them by which Navigators know when they crosse the line in their travels to the Indies or other parts 9 The Sunne being in the Equinoctiall the extremity of the stile in any Sunne-dyall upon a plaine maketh a right line otherwise it is Eclipticall Hyperbolicall c. 10 When the shadow of a man or other thing upon a Horizontall 〈◊〉 is equall unto it in length then is the Sunne in the middle point between the Horizon and the Zenith that is 45 degrees high PROBLEM XCVII To make a Triangle that shall have three right Angles OPen the C●passes at p●easure and upon A describe an Arke BC. then at the same opening place one of the feet in B and describe the Ark AC Lastly place one of the feet of the Compasses in C. and describe the Arke AB· so shall you have the sphericall Aequilaterall Triangle ABC right angled at A at B and at C. that is each angle comprehended 9● degrees which can never be in any plaine Triangle whether it be Equilaterall Isocelse scaleve Orthogonall or Opigonall PROBLEM XCVIII To divide a line in as many equall parts as one will without compasses or without seeing of it THis Proposition hath a fallacie in it cannot be practised but upon a Maincordion for the Mathematicall line which proceeds from the flux of a point cannot be divided in that wise One may have therefore an Instrument which is called Maincordion because there is but one cord and if you desire to divide your line into 3 parts run your finger upon the frets untill you sound a third in musick if you would have the fourth part of the line then finde the fourth sound a fifth c. so shall you have the answer PROBLEM XCIX To draw a line which shall incline to another line yet never meet against the Axiome of Parallels THis is done by help of a Conoeide line produced by a right line upon one the same plaine held in great account amongst the Ancients and it is drawne after this manner Draw a right line infinitely and upon some end of it as at I draw a perpendicular line I A. augment it to H. then from A. draw lines at pleasure to intersect the line I. M. in each of which lines from the right line IM transferre IH viz. KB LC.OD.PE.QF.MG then from those points draw the line H.B.C.D.E.F.G. which will not meet with the line IM and yet incline nearer and nearer unto it PROBLEM C. To observe the variation of the compasses or needle in any places FIrst describe a Circle upon a plaine so that the Sun may shine on it both before noone and afternoone in the centre of which Circle place a Gn●●on or wire perpendicular
