of_o the_o sun_n orb_n on_o one_o side_n of_o the_o centre_n of_o the_o earth_n than_o there_o be_v on_o the_o other_o for_o which_o reason_n though_o the_o sun_n move_v equal_o each_o day_n in_o

and_o to_o be_v sometime_o more_o than_o 24_o hour_n and_o sometime_o less_o for_o in_o the_o first_o place_n this_o make_v it_o impossible_a to_o adjust_a a_o clock_n well_o bare_o by_o the_o sun_n for_o suppose_v one_o shall_v attempt_v to_o adjust_a a_o clock_n when_o the_o natural_a day_n be_v not_o full_o 24_o hour_n long_o as_o about_o the_o middle_n of_o march_n where_o as_o appear_v by_o

know_v as_o to_o the_o exactness_n and_o steadiness_n of_o its_o motion_n which_o proceed_v from_o two_o property_n peculiar_a to_o this_o pendulum_n the_o one_o be_v the_o weightiness_n of_o its_o

so_o much_o in_o the_o distance_n of_o its_o swinge_v as_o those_o other_o kind_n of_o pendulum_n be_v who_o fetch_v a_o large_a and_o by_o consequence_n a_o less_o constant_a compass_n for_o pendulum_n that_o swing_v or_o vibrate_v very_o far_o out_o as_o all_o crown-wheel_n pendulum_n do_v be_v apt_a by_o reason_n of_o many_o accident_n that_o happen_v to_o vary_v much_o in_o the_o distance_n they_o swing_v and_o that_o be_v the_o reason_n they_o do_v not_o always_o go_v or_o move_v the_o same_o pace_n a_o large_a vibration_n take_v up_o more_o time_n to_o be_v perform_v in_o than_o lesser_a one_o do_v but_o the_o vibration_n of_o this_o pendulum_n of_o mr._n clement_n contrivance_n be_v so_o very_o exact_a and_o steady_a that_o when_o it_o be_v well_o in_o order_n and_o the_o air_n of_o the_o same_o consistence_n it_o shall_v in_o five_o hundred_o or_o a_o thousand_o revolution_n of_o its_o index_n keep_v so_o equal_a a_o time_n that_o no_o human_a art_n can_v

think_v it_o will_v not_o be_v improper_a now_o at_o last_o to_o call_v it_o the_o royal_a pendulum_n but_o although_o the_o motion_n thereof_o be_v so_o very_o curious_o exact_a and_o equal_a yet_o it_o will_v not_o for_o all_o that_o regulate_v the_o motion_n of_o a_o clock_n in_o such_o a_o manner_n as_o that_o the_o index_n or_o hand_n shall_v continual_o agree_v with_o that_o time_n which_o the_o sun_n give_v for_o by_o constant_a experience_n we_o find_v that_o the_o best_a of_o clock_n when_o exact_o adjust_v will_v yet_o be_v find_v in_o some_o considerable_a time_n of_o go_v to_o be_v either_o too_o fast_o or_o too_o flow_v for_o the_o sun_n although_o it_o be_v at_o the_o first_o set_v right_a therewith_o now_o this_o disagreement_n can_v be_v occasion_v by_o any_o defect_n proper_a to_o the_o motion_n of_o the_o pendulum_n each_o twenty_o four_o hour_n of_o which_o when_o well_o rectify_v be_v the_o same_o for_o length_n of_o time_n but_o it_o do_v proceed_v from_o a_o

natural_a day_n or_o the_o time_n between_o 12._o and_o 12._o a_o clock_n be_v always_o in_o length_n just_a 24._o hour_n but_o this_o be_v a_o great_a mistake_n for_o it_o will_v appear_v by_o the_o

will_v amount_v to_o a_o very_a considerable_a sum_n of_o time_n now_o to_o make_v the_o reason_n of_o this_o irregular_a length_n of_o day_n as_o plain_a as_o i_o can_v be_v please_v to_o take_v notice_n that_o as_o natural_a day_n be_v that_o space_n of_o time_n in_o which_o the_o sun_n or_o as_o other_o think_v the_o earth_n by_o the_o motion_n of_o those_o orb_n that_o divide_v time_n

it_o must_v follow_v that_o all_o such_o natural_a day_n can_v be_v of_o a_o true_a and_o equal_a length_n unlese_v the_o sun_n in_o that_o space_n of_o time_n do_v also_o move_v in_o such_o a_o

if_o you_o will_v be_v but_o at_o the_o pain_n to_o compute_v what_o the_o right_a ascension_n amount_v to_o in_o to_o or_o 20_o day_n time_n in_o some_o part_n of_o the_o year_n and_o compare_v

plain_o demonstrate_v the_o thing_n assert_v now_o the_o reason_n of_o these_o difference_n in_o the_o right_a ascension_n and_o by_o consequence_n in_o the_o different_a length_n of_o day_n proceed_v in_o the_o first_o place_n from_o the_o cross_a position_n of_o the_o zodiac_n and_o the_o equinoctial_a which_o on_o globe_n do_v represent_v the_o circle_n of_o the_o sun_n be_v yearly_a and_o

of_o the_o sun_n near_o the_o tropic_a of_o capricorn_n amount_v to_o about_o 11_o degree_n 30_o minute_n whereas_o that_o of_o the_o same_o number_n of_o day_n near_o the_o equinoctial_a point_n of_o
