A96283	Merlini Anglici errata. Or, The errors, mistakes, and mis-applications of Master Lilly's new ephemeris for the yeare 1647. Discovered, refuted, and corrected. By C. George Wharton, student in astronomy.	Wharton, George, Sir, 1617-1681.	1646 (1646)	Wing W1553; Thomason E1180_4; Thomason C.54.aa.1(4); ESTC R207525	23,266	63

when they thinke they have the places of those Planets therein exactly Calculated to the Noone-tide of every day at London for although in the higher Planets whose motion is but slow there bee no sensible difference yet in the Sun Venus and Mercury there is an apparent error For when they are in their swift motion their places at noone as Lilly hath set them will differ above 2. min. and often 3. min. from the truth And in the Moone whose motion is farre swifter then any other of the Planets her Error is intollerable especially when she is in her swift motion For example the first of January 1647. the Diurnall motion of the Moon is 12. degr. 24 min. being then but in her slow motion The difference of Meridians betwixt London Uraniburge● to which place the Longitude of the Planets as Wil. Lilly hath printed them were Calculated by Eichstadius is 50 minutes by his own confession in his Anglicus 1645. Page 54. that is the Sun cōmeth later to the Meridian at London then he does at Uraniburge by 50 min. of time so that how much soever the Moon moveth according to longitude in that space of time by so much hath Lilly erred in the Moones true place at noon for every day in the yeare which what it is for the said first of January I examine thus If the Moone in 24 houres move 12 degrees 24 minutes in Longitude What moves she in 50 min. of time Facit 26. min. ferè And by so much hath Lilly erred from her true place the said first of January at Noon So that whereas he hath placed her that day in 21 degrees 10 min. of Pisces she ought to have beene in 21 degrees 36 min. of the same Signe And when she is in her swift motion he commits a greater Errour as the tenth of March 1647. if you examine it according to the former rule you shall find just halfe a degree or 30 min. error and in stead of 26 degrees 3 min. of Virgo wherein Lilly hath put her that day she should be in 26. degree 33 min. of the same Signe The next thing which I meane to take notice of is his Scheme erected to the Apparent time of the Moons Ecclipse upon the tenth of January 1647. at 9. houres and 19 min. P. M. as he hath taken it from Eichstadius by deducting 50 min. for the difference of Meridians betwixt London and Uraniburge and to the same time I erect the Figure of Heaven according to the Doctrine of Regiomontanus and comparing his printed Scheme with that which I had more curiously set I find Lilly still bungling and botching but without any result of truth For whereas he hath made the Cuspe of the tenth House 22. degrees 20 min. of Gemini according to exact Calculation it is no lesse then 23. degr. 30 minutes whereby it appeares that Master Lilly hath mistaken 1 degree 10 mi. in the Cuspe of the Medium Coeli And in the Ascendent of the same figure he hath mistaken above one whole degree viz. 1 degr. 10 min. for hee hath made the Cuspe thereof but 23 deg. and 51 min. of Virgo which should have been 25 degrees and 1 min. and the like Errors follow in the seventh house of the Figure and proportionably in all the rest which makes me wonder with what face this senslesse botcher dares tearme me an A. B. C. fellow when all men may perceive him so shamefully ignorant in the very fundamentalls of the Art hee pretends to and that I am able to correct him in every point and particle of his Profession For I desire the Reader to consider but thus much with me that if as Sir Christopher Heydon hath said in his unparalell'd Treatise written in defence of Judiciall Astrologie against Mr. Chambers that Astrology is an Art which teacheth by the Motions Configurations and influences of the Signes Stars and Coelestiall Planets to Prognosticate of the naturall effects and mutations to come in the Elements and these inferiour and elementary bodies How I pray is it possible that this fellow can Prognosticate rightly of the naturall effects and Mutations to come in the Elements and these inferiour and elementarie bodies before he be able to Calculate exactly the true motions and configurations c. of the Signes Stars and Planets which you clearly see he is not And I marvell much that Lilly should bee no more tender and cautilous of his credit then thus foolishly and frequently to divulge his unskilfulnesse for me thinkes as he knowes that he cannot Calculate the houses exactly either by the Doctrine of Sphericall Triangles or which is more ready and built upon the same foundation by the Tables of Directions in Regiomontanus to the degree and minute of each Cuspe yet he should have held it a safer way if he purposed to palliate his defects to have set down the Cuspes only in whole degrees and not have published himselfe thus erroneously scrupulous which hee might have done very easily by the Domifying tables without further helpe But I perceive him so impudent and shamelesse that he neither heeds nor cares what hee does or otherwise hee would have beene more wary in supputating the places of the Planets For according to Eichstadius whom he indeavours to follow the Sun at the middle of the Eclipse should have been in 56 minutes of Aquarius and the Moone in 56. min. of the Opposite Signe Leo Venus in Capricorne 24 degr. 29 min. and Mercury in Aquarius 3 degr. 17 min. But this man's discretion hath put the Sun in 53 min. of Aquarius and the Moone in 53 min. of Leo Venus in 24 degr. 39 min. of Capricorne and Mercury in the 3 degr. 20 min. of Aquarius So that he hath erred 3 min. in the places of the Luminaries and Mercury and 10 min. in Venus as may appeare to every man that will take the pains to Calculate the true places of these Planets by Eichstadius his Tables to the Mean or Equall time of the said Eclipse And in like manner hath he playd the Botcher in his Figure at the Vernall ingresse for according to the time therein posited the Cuspe of the tenth House ought to be 13 degr. 44 min. of Taurus and the Ascendent 25 degr. 48 min. of Leo yet he hath made the tenth House 14 degr. 0. min. of Taurus and the Ascendent 26 degr. 0. min. of Leo so that he hath committed 16 min. Error in the Cuspe of the tenth House and 12 min. in the Cuspe of the Ascendent nor is hee lesse erronious in collocating of the Planets here then in the former Figure but especially in the Moone whom he hath placed in 27 degree 48. min. of Virgo whereas she ought to have bin in 28 degr. 14 min. of that Signe wherein hee hath mistaken no lesse then 26 minutes And thus much I conceive sufficient to prove his ignorance in point of Art Now will I also unmaske his Errors defects mistakes and mis-applications
