And so in the common angle shall you finde the length of the planetary houre for the day or night vnder their proper Title and if you want the iust minute take the néerest for the difference produceth no sensible errour as when the day is 16 houres 24 minutes long then the length of a planetary hour for day is 1 houre 22 minuts and aplanet ruleth that night but 38 minutes as in the Table The length of a planetary houre thus found it rests to finde any time of day what planetary houre it is which as yet none of these little bookes haue taught You must therefore learne as hereafter at what houre and minute the Sunne doth rise vpon the day proposed and also the true houre of the day at the time proposed by some clocke or rather Sunne-diall and thereby get how many houres and minutes the said proposed time is after Sunne rising the number of which houres multiply by 60 and to the product adde the odde minute then the totall diuided by the number of minutes that a planet reigneth the quotient is the number of the planetary houre Example The Sunne riseth at 8 of the clocke vpon a certaine day which day is 8 houres long and I am required to finde what planetary houre it was at 10 before Noone 10 is two houres after 8 2 multiplied by 60 yeeldes 120. which parted by 40 minutes for so long a Planet ruleth that day as in the Table and the quotient is 3. Therefore I conclude it is the third planetary houre and if there had beene any minutes remaining those would haue shewen how many minutes of the planetary houre had beene spent Deale so with the night counting them from Sunne set Otherwise Another way I can shew you hauing any time of the day giuen and are required to know what planetary houre it is at that instant you must consider if the question were made before high noone or after if the question were made before noone worke as before if after noone adde the houre of the clocke after noone to the houre and minute of Sunne setting so haue you the distance of time from Sun-rising then worke likewise as before Lastly hauing found what planetary houre it is then must you séeke what planet doth reigne that houre which is thus done Consider what planet the day is called by as in the 15 Chapter and giue to that planet the first houre and to the next the second houre vntill you come to the houre proposed that planet which falleth to that houre is the planet the ruleth at that time But for more ease behold the ensuing Table which I haue newly made for that purpose A Table to finde what Planet doth rule euery houre by day or night Day Re. ☉ ☽ ♂ ☿ ♃ ♀ ♄ Night R.

Lucies day fall vpon a Wednesday then take the Wednesday following as for other fasting dayes they be noted in the Kalender And the cause wherefore the Romanes and we obserue no fasting day betwixt the Resurrection and Ascension day is as I take it grounded vpon this Text Can the children of the Mariage Chamber fast whilst the Bridegrome is with them c.

〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 which is Duo because the naturall day is diuided into 2 parts to wit into Day Night or it may be called Dies à Dijs for the Planets be called Dij Gods whereof the dayes take their names Nox the Night is so called à Noceo noces because it is Tempus nocentibus aptum a fit time to do hurt and mischiefe CHAP. XVI Of the Weeke A Wéeke hath diuers names in Latine it is called Septimana à Septem and Mane as it were hauing septem Matutina tempora seauen mornings And so pars is taken pro toto It is also called Hebdomada ab 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 which is septem as containing seauen daies It is also called Sabbatum by the Iewes and therefore it is said in Scripture Ieiuno bis in Sabbato c. wherby Sabbatum is Aequiuocum ad totam septimanam And you must note that the Iewes Sabboth day was Saterday but the Christians obserued Sunday for to begin their wéeke because on that day our Lord was borne rose and sent his holy Ghost vpon his Apostles CHAP. XVII Of a Moneth Solar and Vsuall OF Moneths there be thrée kinds Solar Lunar and Vsuall The Solar moneth is the space of time that the Sun runneth through one signe of the Zodiacke being 30 dayes The Vsuall Moneth is the number of dayes according as they bee in our Kalender and amongst the Latines Romulus first distinguished the moneths diuiding the yeare into 10 moneths because in that time a woman might bring forth a childe or because during that time it was not fit for a woman to marry after the death of her husband The first moneth he called Martius à Marte of Mars his Father or rather of Mars in respect of warre because as then the Romane Kings were vsed to procéed in expeditions for it is rather thought that Amulius was Romulus his Father then Mars Amulius being his vnckle The next moneth he called Aprill ab Aperiendo because then the poares of the earth opened The third is May à Maioribus the fourth Iunius à Iunioribus The rest of the moneths were called Quintilis Sextilis September October Nouember and December because they were 5 6 c moneths distant from March But after Numa Pompilius added two more moneths to make them twelue calling the one Ianuary à Ianua because as you passe per Ianuam in atrium so per Ianuarium in annum or of Ianus the God of Merchandize who hauing two faces so Ianuary hath two respects the one to the yeare past the other to the yeare to come The other moneth he called February à Februo that is a Plutone because then the Romans offered sacrifice to Pluto and the infernall Gods for the soules of their ancestors or it is called February à Febre because as then in warme regions men were accustomed Febricitare that is to be sicke of an Ague so also may September be said quasi septimus ab imbre which is à Tempore pluuioso And to these moneths he gaue some 30 daies others 31 daies orderly so that when he came to Ianuary he wanted a day which he tooke from February which he restored againe in the Leape-yeare Then commeth Iulius Caesar and altereth the moneth Quintilis to Iuly calling it after his name for that hee was borne in that moneth After whom commeth Augustus and calleth the moneth Sextilis Augustus after his owne name and grudging that his moneth August should haue lesser dayes in it then Caesars moneth hee taketh another day from February adding the same to August and thereby left February but 28 dayes whereby hee did disorder the daies of the moneth that before did consist of 30 and 31 daies successiuely making Iuly August and September haue 31 dayes altogether and February but 28 dayes wherefore to auoid this inconuenience he was forced to take a day from September giuing it to October another from Nouember for December The which ordination of the moneths and position of dayes is vsed to this present time according to these verses Sep. No. Iun. Ap. dato triginta reliquis magic vno Nisit bissextus februus minor esto duobus Which is Thirty daies hath September Aprill Iune and Nouember The rest haue thirty and one Saue February alone Which moneth hath but eight and twenty meare Saue when it is Bissextile or Leape-yeare CHAP. XVIII Of the Lunar Moneth and the diuersities thereof OF Moneths Ioan. de sacro Bosco noteth 4 kinds as the moneth of Peragration of Apparition Medicinall and the moneth of Consecution The moneth of Peragration is a space of time containing daies 27 houres 7 minutes 43 seconds 7 thirds 15 fourths 36 fifths 55. In which space the Moone runneth through the 12 signes of the Zodiacke and is called of some a yeare of which yeares it is not much for one to liue 1000 for 80 Solar yeares make as many within 40. But this moneth is accomplished certaine minuts sooner or later according to her swift or slow motion The second is the Moneth of Aparition consisting of 28 dayes vulgarly diuided into foure wéekes The Moneth Medicinall containeth according to Galen 26 daies and a halfe and is also diuided into 4 wéekes The last is the moneth of Consecution being a space of time that the Moone departing from coniunction with the Sunne passeth round about the circls of the Zodiacke returning to the point where she left the Sunne finishing her Moneth of Peragration but finding the Sunne not there because he is carried by his owne proper motion neere one signe further shee is forced to spend two daies 4 houres 44 I. 3 II. and 16 III. to ouertake the Sunne before shee can come into coniunction againe so that this moneth is produced vnto 29 daies and a halfe c. and is called the Moneth of Consecution for that the Moone prosecutes to ouertake the Sunne CHAP. XIX Of the Lunar Yeare both Common and Extraordinary OF Lunar yeares there bee two kindes the one is called in Latine Annus Communis the other Embolismalis The common Lunar yeare is the space of 12 Moones not Moneths or changes which the Latines call Lunations it is called the common yeare Lunar in respect of his accord with the Solar yeare for as the one containes 12 Moones Lunar so the other consisteth of 12 moneths Solar the one hauing 365 dayes the other 354 dayes but in both there is omission of fractions so that the Solar yeare excéeds the common Lunar yeare 11 dayes of which the Epact is made The yeare called Annus Embolismalis is a space of 13 Moones containing 384 dayes so that this yeare exceedeth the common Lunar yeare 30 daies the Solar yeare 19 dayes it is called Embolismus ab Embolismo as Bissextilis is à Bis sex Sacro Bosco castles it Embolismus ab 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 which is quiddam insertum CHAP. XX. Of the Solar yeare and the Etymology thereof THe Astronomers make many diuisions of this
