that summe from 30. the remaine sheweth the day of the change Here note the full Moone is the 15. day after the chaunge Also if the remaine be lesse then 15. substract that lesse from 15. the rest is the full Moone If the remaine passe 30. substract it from 45. then the full doth also appeare To conclude if from the full Moone yee pull 15. dayes ye haue the chaunge going before The chaunge had the quarters are knowne by adding or pulling away seuen dayes For the age of the Moone worke thus for euer ADde to the dayes of your Moneth the Epact and also as many daies more as are moneths from March to your moneth including both moneths Now substract thirtie if ye may the age then remaineth Now shall be declared what Signes and degrees the Moone differeth from the Sunne by the which is gathered at all times the Signe and Grade wherein she is MUltiplie the age of the Moone by 4. diuide by 10. the quotient sheweth the Signes that the Moone differeth from the Sunne The remaine augmented by 3. bringeth degrees to be added Ye must put these Signes and degrees to the place of the Sunne The product I meane the increase or ende of all these Signes and degrees in order counted from the Sunne declare the place of the Moone in the Zodiacke The place of the Sunne in the Zodiacke is thus found FIrst know that the 11. day of Ianuary the Sunne is entred into ♒ The 10. day of February ♓ The 11. of March ♈ The 11. of Aprill ♉ The 12. of May ♊ The 12. of Iune ♋ The 14. of Iuly ♌ The 14 of August ♍ The .14 of September ♎ The 14. of October ♏ The 13. of Nouember ♐ The 12. of December ♑ This knowne the place of the Sunne is well found adding for euery day past any entrey 1. degree Example I Require the place of the Sunne the 21. day of August I finde that the Sun is entered in ♍ the 14. day of the moneth I must for euery day past any entry adde 1. degree There are seuen daies past that entrie then I conclude the Sunne readie to haue place in the 8. degree of ♍ the 21. of August To know how long the Moone shineth FOr her shining in the encrease multiplie the age of the Moone by 4. In the wane augment the rest of the age which she lacketh of 30. by 4. and diuide by 5. The Quotient sheweth the houres the remaines if there be any multiplied by 12. bringeth minutes to be added How the moueable feasts are found readily SEeke the change of the Moone in February for that yeere yée require these moueable Feasts Note what day it falleth on the next Tuesday is Shrouetuesday But if the change be on Tueseday the next Tuesday ensuing is it The next Sunday is the first Sunday of Lent Sixe Sundayes after is Easter day Adde 35. dayes or 5. weekes to Easter day ye haue Rogation Sunday To that adde 4. dayes so ye haue Ascension day Then haue ye 10 daies to Whitsunday Seuen dayes after is Trinitie Sunday And foure dayes after is Corpus Christi day Without Tables at all times to know the Tydes LEarne as is declared the age of the Moone also remember the houre of the Full or Change for your place or poynt which doth neuer varie these knowne worke thus Example WHen the Moone is tenne daies olde I desire to know at what of the clocke it is full sea at London bridge Multiplie tenne by fortie eight so haue ye foure hundred eightie diuide that by sixtie ye haue eight houres To that adde three which is the houre of the full or change appointed for that place All then commeth vnto eleuen of the clocke high water at London bridge If any thing remaine they are minutes of an houre If the houres amount aboue twelue cast the twelues away the rest is your request FINIS TO THE READER HAuing of late gentle Reader corrected and reformed sundrie faults that by negligence in printing haue crept into my Fathers Generall Prognostication Among other things I haue found a description or Modill of the world and situation of Spheres Coelestiall elementarie according to the doctrine of Ptolomie whereunto all Vniuersities led thereunto chiefely by the authoritie of Aristotle sithens haue consented But in this our age one rare wit seeing the continuall errors that from time to time more and more haue been discouered besides the infinite absurdities in their Theoricks which they haue been forced to admit that would not confesse any Mobilitie in the ball of the earth hath by long study painefull practise and rare inuention deliuered a new Theoricke or Modill of the world shewing that y e earth resteth not in the Centre of the whole world but not onely in the Centre of this our mortall world or Globe of Elements which enuironed and enclosed in the Moones Orbe and together with the whole Globe of mortalitie is caried yeerely round about the Sunne which like a king in the middest of al raigneth and giueth lawes of motion to the rest sphaerically dispersing his glorious beames of light through all this sacred Coelestial Temple And the Earth it self to be one of the Planets hauing his peculiar and strange courses turning euery 24 houres round vpon his owne Centre whereby the Sun and great Globe of fixed starres seeme to sway about and turne albeit indeede they remaine fixed So many waies is the sense of mortall men abused But reason deep discourse of wit hauing opened these things to Copernicus and the same being with demonstrations Mathematical most apparantly by him to the world deliuered I thought it conuenient together with the old Theorick also to publish this to the end such noble English mindes as delight to reach aboue the baser sorte of men might not be altogether defrauded of so noble a part of Philosophie And to the ende it might manifestly appeare that Copernicus meant not as some haue fondly excused him to deliuer these grounds of the earths mobilitie onely as Mathematical principles fayned and not as Philosophicall truly auerred I haue also from him deliuered both the Philosophical reasons by Aristotle and others produced to maintaine the Earths stabilitie also their solutions and insufficiencie wherein I cannot a little commend the modestie of y e graue Philosopher Aristotle who seeing no doubt the sufficiencie of his own reasons in seeking to confute the earths motion vseth th●se words De his explicatum est ea qua potuimus facultate howbeit his disciples haue not with like sobrietie maintained the same Thus much for my owne part in this case I will only say There is no doubt but of a true ground truer effects may be produced then of principles that are false and of true principles falsehood or absurdities cannot be inferred If therfore the Earth be situate immoueable in the Centre of the world why find we not Theoricks vpon that ground to produce effects as true and
