pointes containe .24 houres that is to say one point containeth .3 quarters of an hour .45 minutes and .2 pointes one houre and a halfe .4 pointes .3 houres 8. poyntes .6 houres .12 poyntes .9 houres .16 poyntes .12 houres and so to the rest of the poyntes And euery houre contayneth .60 minutes and euery halfe houre .30 minutes and euery quarter of an houre .15 minutes and after that rate .45 minutes maketh thrée quarters of an houre ¶ The second Chapter or rule treateth of the Golden number or Prime shewing the Epacte and by the Epacte to knowe the Age of the Moone IT is necessary and conuenient for the Seafaring men to knowe the Prime or Golden number for by the Golden number is knowne the Epacte and the Epacte sheweth the age of the Moone or chaunge day within .12 houres vnder or ouer and by the age of the Moone you may know at what a clocke it doth flowe in any place that you doe knowe what Moone doth make a full Sea therefore it is méete too know the Epacte and that is knowne by the Pryme or Golden number The cause why it was called the Golden number was bycause it was sent out of Egypte in letters of golde too the Romaines or Citie of Rome The cause why that it is called the Pryme was for that it was the first order that the Moones course was known by and it is thus knowne Adde one to the yeare of our Lord that you would knowe the Golden number or Pryme of then deuide the number by .19 the remainer is the Pryme and multiply that by .11 and looke what the number commeth vnto deuide that by .30 the remayner is the Epact Then when you haue once the Epact adde .11 to your Epact for euery yere more and looke what that commeth to that is your Epact and if it do passe .30 put that away and keepe the remainer for your Epact And thus this rule will serue for euer sauing when the Pryme beginneth at one for then the Epacte is .11 and then doe as aforesayde as you may perceyue by this table héere following ¶ The Table of Pryme and Epacte for .19 yeares and vvhen those .19 yeares be ended then beginne againe and so it will serue for euer c.

NOwe by the age of the Moone you may knowe at what houre it floweth in any place where you do know what Moone maketh a full Sea whiche rule commonly the Sea men cal the shifting their Sunne and Moone and many wayes there be too doe it for thus they may doe it Let them deuide one houre into .5 parts and thē take .4 of those parts and put the fifth part away that serueth for the alteration of 24. houres the foure fift parts of an houre are .48 minuts and the .5 part of an houre is .12 minuts A floud and an ebbe dothe alter .24 minuts forwards as this for example it floweth at .12 of the clocke at the Lands end vpon the chaunge day the Moone being in the South at all times a full Sea ▪ The Moone being one day old it floweth at .12 of the clocke 48. minuts .2 dayes olde it floweth at one of the clock .36 minuts .3 days old it floweth at .2 of the clock .24 minuts four dayes old it floweth at .3 of the clocke .12 minuts fiue dayes old it floweth at .4 of the clocke iust Sixe dayes old it floweth at .4 of the clocke .48 minuts Seuen dayes old at .5 of the clocke .36 minuts Eight dayes old at .6 of the clocke .24 ▪ minuts Nine dayes old at .7 of the clocke .12 minuts Ten dayes old it floweth at .8 of the clocke iust Eleuen dayes old at .8 of the clocke .48 minuts 12. dayes .9 of the clocke .36 minuts 13. dayes old .10 of the clocke .24 minuts 14. days old it floweth at .11 of the clocke .12 minuts 15. dayes old it floweth at .12 of the clock iust then being the full Moone and so begin againe as you did before at one day old and so foorth For the course of the tides is nothing else but to adde for euery day● of the age of the Moone one houre pulling backe the fifth par● of an houre being .12 minuts and by this accompt you maye at all times knowe at what a clocke
