A05102	The third volume of the French academie contayning a notable description of the whole world, and of all the principall parts and contents thereof: as namely, of angels both good and euill: of the celestiall spheres, their order and number: of the fixed stars and planets; their light, motion, and influence: of the fower elements, and all things in them, or of them consisting: and first of firie, airie, and watrie meteors or impressions of comets, thunders, lightnings, raines, snow, haile, rainebowes, windes, dewes, frosts, earthquakes, &c. ingendered aboue, in, and vnder the middle or cloudie region of the aire. And likewise of fowles, fishes, beasts, serpents, trees with their fruits and gum; shrubs, herbes, spices, drugs, minerals, precious stones, and other particulars most worthie of all men to be knowen and considered. Written in French by that famous and learned gentleman Peter de la Primaudaye Esquier, Lord of the same place, and of Barree: and Englished by R. Dolman.; Academie françoise. Part 3.

artificial_a day_n of_o what_o length_n soever_o they_o be_v there_o rise_v above_o the_o horizon_n six_o sign_n of_o the_o zodiac_n begin_v at_o the_o true_a place_n of_o the_o sun_n and_o the_o

arise_v above_o the_o horizon_n either_o more_o or_o less_o by_o so_o much_o the_o artificial_a day_n and_o night_n be_v of_o short_a or_o long_a continuance_n so_o that_o the_o ascension_n of_o the_o elevate_v sign_n by_o day_n be_v the_o true_a measure_n of_o the_o artificial_a day_n and_o the_o ascension_n of_o the_o other_o elevate_v sign_n by_o night_n be_v the_o measure_n thereof_o because_o then_o that_o in_o the_o right_a sphere_n together_o with_o the_o moiety_n or_o one_o half_a of_o the_o zodiac_n wheresoever_o it_o begin_v the_o moiety_n of_o the_o equinoctial_a do_v precise_o rise_v above_o the_o horizon_n for_o this_o cause_n therefore_o the_o artificial_a day_n be_v equal_a to_o the_o night_n in_o the_o say_v right_a sphere_n so_o that_o all_o the_o revolution_n of_o natural_a day_n comprise_v between_o the_o two_o tropicke_n be_v divide_v by_o the_o right_a horizon_n into_o two_o just_a half_n and_o at_o right_a angle_n like_o the_o equinoctial_a but_o in_o the_o oblique_a sphere_n the_o day_n be_v never_o equal_a to_o the_o night_n but_o twice_o a_o year_n that_o be_v when_o the_o sun_n be_v in_o the_o first_o point_n of_o the_o sign_n of_o aries_n and_o of_o

betwixt_o the_o say_a equinoctial_a point_n which_o may_v have_v equal_a ascension_n because_o that_o the_o two_o colour_n do_v never_o agree_v with_o the_o horizon_n which_o can_v divide_v the_o

other_o because_o the_o say_v great_a circle_n be_v in_o they_o divide_v into_o two_o exact_a half_n but_o out_o of_o these_o equinoctial_a point_n while_o the_o sun_n be_v in_o that_o half_a of_o the_o zodiac_n that_o decline_v from_o the_o equinoctial_a towards_o the_o pole_n which_o be_v elevate_v above_o the_o horizon_n that_o be_v from_o the_o vernall-equinoctiall-point_n by_o the_o sommer-solstist_a to_o the_o autumne-equinoctiall-point_n the_o artificial_a day_n be_v long_o than_o the_o night_n and_o during_o the_o time_n that_o the_o sun_n be_v in_o the_o other_o part_n of_o the_o say_a zodiac_n which_o decline_v towards_o the_o opposite_a pole_n which_o be_v depress_v under_o the_o say_a horizon_n the_o night_n be_v long_o than_o the_o day_n which_o inequality_n be_v so_o much_o the_o more_o by_o how_o much_o the_o sun_n be_v near_a to_o the_o solstist_n and_o the_o sphere_n be_v more_o oblique_o place_v in_o respect_n of_o the_o horizon_n so_o that_o the_o

of_o they_o high_o than_o the_o moon_n be_v they_o seem_v to_o be_v lesser_a so_o in_o the_o same_o consideration_n it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o the_o brightness_n of_o the_o sun_n hinder_v we_o of_o the_o sight_n of_o the_o fix_a star_n in_o the_o day_n time_n which_o nevertheless_o shine_v as_o well_o in_o the_o day_n as_o in_o the_o night_n time_n as_o may_v be_v perceive_v at_o the_o

the_o earth_n moreover_o all_o these_o star_n be_v never_o eclipse_v for_o the_o shadow_n of_o the_o earth_n which_o cause_v the_o moon_n to_o loose_v her_o light_n reach_v not_o beyond_o her_o heaven_n and_o the_o night_n also_o be_v no_o other_o thing_n but_o the_o shadow_n of_o the_o earth_n which_o shadow_n be_v in_o form_n like_o a_o pyramid_n grow_v still_o less_o and_o less_o taperwise_o towards_o a_o point_n till_o at_o last_o it_o fade_v for_o all_o shadow_n wax_v less_o and_o less_o till_o they_o be_v clean_o diminish_v by_o distance_n as_o may_v evident_o be_v see_v by_o shadow_n of_o bird_n which_o fly_v in_o the_o air_n now_o the_o shadow_n of_o the_o earth_n finish_v in_o the_o air_n at_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o region_n of_o fire_n &_o above_o the_o moon_n all_o thing_n be_v pure_a wherefore_o it_o be_v not_o possible_a that_o the_o terrestrial_a shadow_n can_v hinder_v the_o brightness_n of_o the_o star_n which_o be_v above_o the_o moon_n and_o therefore_o likewise_o we_o behold_v they_o in_o the_o night_n time_n like_o a_o candle_n in_o a_o dark_a place_n but_o the_o shadow_n of_o the_o earth_n be_v the_o very_a cause_n that_o the_o moon_n be_v eclipse_v always_o by_o night_n month_n why_o the_o eclipse_n happen_v not_o every_o month_n and_o it_o be_v to_o be_v note_v in_o that_o that_o the_o eclipse_n both_o of_o the_o sun_n and_o moon_n happen_v not_o every_o month_n that_o it_o be_v by_o reason_n of_o the_o obliquenes_n of_o the_o zodiac_n and_o of_o the_o variable_a motion_n of_o the_o moon_n which_o be_v sometime_o north_n and_o sometime_o south_n as_o we_o have_v heretofore_o declare_v meet_v not_o always_o in_o conjunction_n or_o in_o opposition_n in_o the_o knot_n of_o the_o ecliptic_a circle_n which_o be_v in_o the_o head_n or_o in_o the_o tail_n of_o the_o dragon_n we_o may_v note_v also_o that_o the_o consideration_n of_o the_o shadow_n and_o eclipse_n aforesaid_a have_v teach_v man_n to_o judge_v of_o the_o greatness_n of_o the_o sun_n of_o the_o moon_n and_o of_o the_o earth_n earth_n how_o one_o may_v ●udg_v of_o the_o greatness_n of_o the_o sun_n the_o moon_n and_o the_o earth_n for_o first_o it_o shall_v be_v impossible_a that_o there_o have_v be_v any_o universal_a eclipse_n of_o the_o sun_n by_o the_o diametrall_a interposition_n of_o the_o moon_n if_o the_o earth_n be_v great_a than_o the_o moon_n again_o this_o planet_n and_o the_o shadow_n of_o the_o earth_n deliver_v unto_o we_o great_a certainty_n that_o the_o unmeasurable_a magnitude_n of_o the_o sun_n be_v much_o more_o

the_o eye_n or_o by_o conjecture_n since_o that_o the_o tree_n plant_v by_o the_o way_n side_n have_v all_o of_o they_o their_o shadow_n proportionable_o equal_a though_o there_o be_v much_o distance_n of_o ground_n betwixt_o they_o as_o if_o the_o sun_n be_v in_o the_o midst_n of_o they_o and_o do_v give_v light_n to_o all_o alike_o and_o during_o the_o time_n that_o the_o sun_n be_v in_o the_o equinoctiall-point_n over_o the_o southern_a climate_n and_o region_n he_o cast_v his_o light_n down_o right_a without_o make_v any_o shadow_n and_o yet_o in_o the_o north_n region_n on_o this_o side_n the_o solstice-circle_n the_o shadow_n fall_v on_o the_o north_n side_n at_o noon_n and_o towards_o the_o west_n at_o sun_n rise_v which_o can_v not_o happen_v if_o the_o sun_n be_v not_o very_o much_o great_a than_o the_o earth_n but_o leave_v this_o discourse_n we_o must_v out_o of_o our_o speech_n learn_v some_o point_n of_o christian_a astrology_n now_o we_o have_v hear_v that_o the_o moon_n have_v no_o light_n of_o herself_o at_o least_o that_o can_v appear_v unto_o we_o but_o so_o much_o as_o she_o receive_v from_o the_o sun_n according_a to_o the_o disposition_n or_o opposition_n of_o their_o diverse_a course_n in_o such_o sort_n that_o the_o moon_n never_o persi_v in_o one_o estate_n but_o change_v incessant_o but_o it_o be_v not_o so_o with_o the_o sun_n for_o he_o have_v always_o as_o much_o light_n at_o one_o time_n as_o at_o another_o and_o be_v not_o subject_a to_o any_o change_n i_o say_v then_o that_o in_o he_o we_o have_v a_o goodly_a image_n of_o the_o constant_a and_o immutable_a god_n who_o be_v always_o one_o sun_n the_o image_n of_o god_n in_o the_o sun_n and_o ever_o without_o any_o variation_n and_o who_o firm_a in_o his_o counsel_n
