THE MARINER'S everlasting Almanack Wherein is set down diverse Motions of the Moon with Rules and Tables for finding Her Age every day and when She cometh to the Meridian also the time of Her true Rising and Setting fully examplified and proved Together with Everlasting Tyde-Tables containing the true Ebbings and Flowings throughout the most part of the Sea-Ports and Towns in Europe As also An excellent Table shewing the exact Rising and Setting of the Sun for every five dayes with the Degrees propper to the Sun's place And Lastly A pleasant Dialogue containing some Orthographicall and Steriographicall Questions with severall other usefull things most necessary for the Good of this NATION but more especially for the use of our gallant Seamen Calculated for the Latitude of 57 Degrees 10 minuts By Iohn Forbes Printer to BON-ACCORD 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 The second Edition much Corrected and Enlarged ABERDEEN Printed by the Author Printer to the TOWN and UNIVERSITIE Anno 1683.

But here I intend to treat of those Motions that are most usefull for Seamen and Mariners according as their daily practise doth require SECTION I. The first Motion of the Moon The first motion of the Moon called the diurnall o● daily motion being the revolution of the Moon from the East to the West and from thence to the East in 24 houres or rather almost in 25 houres so that the Moon in this motion is slowest of all the side●iall Bodies not following altogether the motion of Primum Mobile in 24 houres For if the Moon be observed to be in Conju●ction with any fixed Star this night the next night following she shall be found to be distant from the same 13 degrees 10 minuts 35 seconds to which in the Aequator answereth to 52 min of time This motion being her propper middle motion i● longitude performed under the Zodiack because a formerly I have mentioned she performeth 13 degree 10 minuts 35 seconds by her middle motion which is betwixt the slow and the swift and passeth through the Zodiack in 27 days 7 hours 43 minuts and this space of time is called the Periodicall moneth But because the Sun moveth daily in the Eccliptick 59 min 8 sec 20 thirds towards the East therefore the Suns motion being substracted from the middle motion of the Moon in Longitude there shall remain the distance of the Moon from the Sun 12 degrees 11 minuts 26 seconds 41 thirds SECT II. The Second Motion of the Moon The Synodicall moneth or moneth of Conjunction being longer then the periodical Moneth because the Moon being in Conjunction with the Sun as admit in the first of Aries the Moon having prescribed her motion through the Zodiack in 27 dayes 7 hours 43 minuts doth not find the Sun in this point of the Zodiack because the Sun since the last Conjunction is passed towards the East therefore that there may be a Conjunction of the Sun with the Moon she is to pass a whole Sign almost before she can come to be in Conjunction with the Sun and this is called Lunatio vera But if we have respect to the true motion the space of the middle Lunation being 29 dayes 12 hours the longest 30 dayes the shortest 28 dayes 23 houres From hence it followeth that 12 Synodicall moneths maketh a Lunar year to consist of 354 days but the Solar year consisting of 365 days 5 hours 4● minuts maketh the difference 11 days being called the Epact which is 〈◊〉 ●●ference betwixt the Solar and Lunar Year SECT III. The third Motion of the Moon The third motion is the motion of the Nods of the circle of the Moon contrare to the order of the Signs for the Orbite of the Moon is inclined to the plain of the Eccliptick by an Angle of 5 degrees in New and full-Moons or 5 deg 18 min. in the quarters which Latitude of 5 degrees being the greatest is called the Belly of the Dragon because of the similitude they have with a Dragon or Serpent as is formed by the Peripherie of the Lunar Eccliptick with the Peripherie of the Orbite of the Moon the one being called the North and the other the South The points wherein there is no Latitude or where the Orbite of the way of the Moon cutteth the Eccliptick being immediatly opposed are called the Nods whereof the one is called the Nothern and ascendent because to us that are to the North ward it is alwayes higher ascending towards our Pole and Zenith and therefore it is called Caput Draconis or head of the Dragon marked thus ☊ The other Node or Intersection is called Southern descending or the Taile of the Dragon marked thus ☋ These Nods or points of the intersection near about which falleth out the Eclipses of the Sun and Moon are observed to move contrare to the Order
