difference of Longitude convert into time by allowing 15. degrees to one hour and 4. minutes to every degree which being added to the time set down in the Ephemeris if the place proposed lie more Easterly then the place for which the Ephemeris was calculated but substracted if it lie to the Westward shall give the true time of the Lunation or Aspect for the place proposed Example I would know what time the Moon changeth at Rome in the moneth of March this present year 1652. I finde by the fore-going Ephemeris that she changeth at Rochester the 29. day 11. minutes past 10. in the morning Also I finde by the Tables of Longitude that the Longitude of Rome is 35. degrees 20. minutes and the Longitude of Rochester 21. degrees 5. minutes this I deduct from the former and the remainder is 14. degrees 15. minutes Then do I say by the Rule of proportion If 15. degrees give one hour what shall 14. degrees 15. minutes give the answer is 57. minutes of an hour this do I adde to 10. hours 11. minutes the time of the change at Rochester because Rome lieth to the Eastward of Rochester and the totall is 11. hours 8. minutes rhe time of the change before-noon the 29. day of March this present Year 1052. at Rome this may serve to discover the ignorance and to stop the mouthes of some who comparing divers Almanacks together and finding them to differ in the time of Lunations will condemn them of errour when as indeed the errour is in themselves not considering the difference of Meridians for which those Almanacks are calculated but to facilitate and expedite the former work I have added the former Catalogue of places wherein finding the proposed place take the minutes which stand against it under the Title Diff. M. and either adde them to or deduct them from the time set down in the Ephemeris according as the Letters A or S shall direct you and that sum or remainder shall be the true time desired But now to reduce the motions of the Planets to any other Meridian seeing that the Earth by her diurnall motion causeth any Meridian thereon in the East to come sooner to the Sun then another doth which is Westward of that by so much as the difference of Longitude reduced into time amounts unto and seeing also that the Planets have a continuall motion from West to East still encreasing their Longitude if they be direct and the contrary if they be Retrograde therefore it followeth necessarily that any of the Planets shall not have the same Longitude at 12. of the Clock and consequently at any other hour under one of these Meridians that they have at the same hour under the other by so much as the said Planet moves in the space of time contained between the said Meridians therefore having by the former instructions found the difference of time contained between the Meridians of the two places get also the diurnall motion of the Planet whose motion you would reduce by deducting his place for the day proposed from his place for the day ensuing if the Planet be direct and the contrary if he be Retrograde then say by the Rule of proportion If 24 hours give the Planets diurnall motion what shall the space of time between the Meridians give which number so found must be added to the Planets place set down in the Ephemeris if the place proposed be to the Westward of the place for which the Ephemeris was calculated and the Planet also direct but substracted if it be Retrograde but if the place proposed be to the Eastward and the Planet also direct then substract the foresaid number but adde it if the Planet be Retrograde So have you the Planets true place for the place desired A Table of the Moons Culmination or coming to the South for every day in this present Year 1652.

Rochester lying so much to the Eastward of Lon. I say therefore that when it is 12. of the clock or any other hour at Rochester it shall not be so much at London by 3. minutes for in common reason the Earth must have an intervall of time to move the distance between Rochester and London to the same point of the Heavens therefore if the Moon should change at 12. of the Clock or any other hour any day at Rochester she would change 3. minutes before the same hour at London for though she change at the same moment of time at London that she doth at Rochester yet it is not the same hour of the day at that moment at London as it is at Rochester therefore to reduce the Lunations or any other Aspect to any other Meridian or place proposed take the difference of Longitude between the place proposed and that for which the Ephemeris or Almanack was calculated by deducting the lesser Longitude out of the greater which
