ADd to the day of the Month the Epact and so many days more as are Moneths from March to the Moneth you are in including both Moneths and if they amount not to thirty that Sum shall be the Age of the Moon but if your number exceed thirty deduct thirty and what remains is the Moons Age. This is to be understood when the Moneth hath one and thirty days but if the Moneth hath but thirty days you must substract but twenty nine and the rest is the Age a foresaid For in those Moneths that have thirty-one days the New Moon or Conjunction is the thirtieth day of her Age and those Moneths that have but thirty days the New Moon falls on the twenty ninth day of her Age. Take an Example to make this plain Suppose I would know the Age of the Moon January the First 1675. current Now considering that the Epact changeth not till March I add the Epact of the foregoing year which is three and the day of the moneth one their sum is four and January being the eleventh Moneth accounted from March being also added amounts to fifteen which is the true Age of the Moon the said First day of January 1675. Et sic in aliis THe Number of the days in each Moneth are briefly summed up in these following Verses Thirty Days hath September April June and November February hath twenty-eight alone And all the rest have thirty one Note That in Leap-year which happens once in four years February hath twenty nine days By this preceding Almanack you may finde the day of the Moneth as also the moveable and immoveable Feasts for twenty years to come It s use is plain and obvious to a mean capacity and the day of the Moneth found by it as in other Almanacks knowing but the Dominical Letter Vulgar Notes and Observations to know when the Moon rises or sets c. 1. AT the New-Moon she riseth and setteth with the Sun 2. At the Full-Moon she rises when the Sun sets and sets when the Sun rises 3. At the beginning of the Increase she rises after Sun rising and sets after Sun set 4. At the beginning of the Decrease she rises a little after Sun-set and sets a little before his rising 5. In the first Quadrat of her Increase she rises about Noon or Mid-day and sets about Mid-night 6. In the Second Quadrat of her Decrease she rises at Mid-night and sets about Noon or Mid-day And hence may be computed near enough for common use the intermediate times of the Moons rising every day slower by one hour and about a fifth part viz. twelve minutes The Four Terms are as followeth HIllary Term begins January the twenty third and ends February the twelfth Easter Term begins Seventeen days after Easter-day and ends the Munday before Whit-sunday Trinity Term begins next Friday after Trinity Sunday which is always the next after Whit sunday and ends on Wednesday nineteen days after Michaelmas Term begins on twenty third of October and end November the twenty eighth following FINIS

one and the same time generally all the Countrey over For suppose it may rain at London to day tomorrow it may rain at Bristol and be fair and day at London it may rain at Norwich the third day and that day the other two places may be without rain and so it may move from place to place while that rainy influence lasts The common people do call this a falling out by Planets The Twelfth Rule Forget not the Latitude and Scituation of the Country The Latitude is how far North or South it lieth The Scituation is whether it be an Island or Firm-land whether it be hilly or a plain champaign ground a low vale Now an Island is more windy than the Continent or Firm land because the Sea is seldom without winds and it is more warm in winter except it be seituate in the Frozen-zone as Island than the main-land therefore Britain hath milder Winters than France In the low Vales and level grounds which are not exalted with hills the rainy clouds make but a short aboad but swiftly move away through those aires without stop whereas among high tops of mountains the clouds are hampered and arrested and have not so free passage but crouding together at length do discharge themselves by millions of drops into the lower bottoms The Scituation also doth tell us what Winds are most frequent and familiar in any Countrey if we do look how the Sea bears to the Land The Western Ocean looketh broad upon Britain from whence Westerly-winds do often blow upon this Island The Mediterranean-Sea upon the East of Portugal giveth that Country moist Easterly-winds These same great waters flowing from the South Regions upon the shoars of Italy do furnish that Country with moist South-winds but the land of Canaan lying at the bottom of the Streights to the East of the Mediterranean doth meet with Westerly wet winds but the winds that blow upon it from the South coming from Sun-burnt Egypt are hot Thus our Saviour reasoneth with the Jews Luke 12. 54 55. We do use to say in Britain that when it cleareth up in the West in time of raines that it will be fair anon because no more Clouds at that time do come from the Western Ocean Under the Equinectial in the middle of the World there is a Trade-wind so called by reason of the great trading of Merchants in those Seas one half of the year blowing from the East and the other half year from the West according as the Sun is on this or that side the Equinoctial And in the East-Indies when the Sun in or near the Aequinoctial is Vertical or direct over their heads it raineth almost constantly because of the great Indian Ocean from whence the Sun with his mighty heat draweth great store of moisture The winds upon mighty high mountains which are not adjacent to the Sea do vary according to the point of the Compass the Sun is in any hour of the day The Sun in the Meridian and upon the direct South of the airy Alpes the wind at that hour upon Mount Viso one of the highest among the Alpes is quite contrary to the Sun blowing directly from the North. As for the Latitude of the Country the farther North as being more remote from the Sun the colder it is but the farther South the warmer it may snow in the High-lands of Scotland when it but raineth at London it may rain in a North mountainons Countrey when it is dry weather in great Champains and Southern plaines The Northern Countries of Denmark Norway Swedeland Russia and the North of Germany are for the most part frozen all Winter and then the exhalations and mists are close imprisoned therefore the aire is calm and clear and the starry lights glistering most beautifully They can walk upon the narrow Sound between Sweden and Danemark as upon dry land it is so strongly bridged with Ice In the Spring-time when the ice is chawed and Winter must go lodg among the Antipodes and the pleasant Spring and flowery Summer do enter the stage then the imprisoned exhalations do break out and fill the aire with warm fogs bringing a warmer Summer than islands have which lie farther South In the South-parts Egypt is dried up and hath little or no rain Judea seldom is rained upon in June and July the East-Indies hath great rains when the Sun is vertical through the Suns vehement heat upon the Indian Ocea CHAP.
