OVT THE HEIGHT OF THE POLE BY THE STARRES WHICH ARE WITHIN the Tropicks declining from the Aequator FIrst you haue the South star called Alhabor or the great dog which declineth from the Aequator 15. deg 55. min. to the Southwardes Take his distance from the Zenith and substract from it the degrees and minuts of the declination because it is Southerly the remainder sheweth the height of the Pole But if the Poles height must be sought for by Orions right shoulder ad to his distance from the Zenith 6. deg 19. minutes of the declination because it is Northward and you shall finde that you seeke for But if you will finde it out by Orions left foote substract from the distaunce thereof to the Zenith 9. degrees 10. minutes of the declination because it is Southward the rest sheweth the height of the Pole And in like maner shall you proceede by the first of Orions girdle For substracting from the distaunce thereof to the Zenith one degree 16. minutes of Southerne declination the residue is the Poles height So may you doe with all the starres which are within the Tropicks declining from the Aequator so that their declinations both Southerne and Northerne in the iust degrees and minutes be first knowne vnto you For if the declination be Southward it must be subducted from the Zenithes distance but if Northward added and then the whole some or the remainder will demonstrate the height of the Pole The meridian height of the Starre is taken by the crosse staffe or other fit instrumentes and being deducted from 90. degrees sheweth you the distance from the zenith The Poles height may also be found by the starres which turne about the Pole within the Arcticke circle and euery 24. houres passe the meridian twise vnder and ouer the Pole so that you may take them twise in one day if occasion serue for example The middle starre of the Guardes in Vrsa minor declineth from the Acquinoctiall 75. degrees 40. minutes distant from the Pole both aboue and vnder 14. degrees 20. minutes Take his meridian height and adde to it the degrees of the Poles distance if it be aboue or substract it if it be vnder the summe or the remainder wil shew the eleuation The same way must you worke by the stars of Vrsa maior which are more in number so that you certainly know their distances from the Pole being vnder or aboue by adding as is sayd the degrees of the distance to the Altitude which you finde if it be aboue the Pole or subtracting if it be vnder So may you worke with the rest of the starres which can be seene and applied to vse by Nauigatours A DECLARATION OF THIS instrument which followeth IN the compasse and borders of the vttermost circle there is set down the circulare course of the Guardes in Vrsa Minor as they turne in al the 8. points of the instrument or compasse about the North starre which haue also certeine numbers assigned both to be added and substracted so that when the said starres come in any of those pointes you must adde or substract the number which is there marked You must also know that all the stars do passe the meridian but euery one in a seuerall declination from the Aequator The other compasse or circle which moueth hath the chiefest of these starres which enuiron the Pole or are caried round within the Tropikes of Cancer and Capricorne The Northerne stars serue to finde out without difficultie the houres of the night at any time of the yere especially the Guardes in Vrsa Minor which on the 30. day of Aprill at midnight stand North aboue the Pole and then is it 12. a clocke at after midnoone And after 15. dayes the said stars remaine in the same place at eleuen a clock at night and at the ende of May at ten a clock so that in euery 24. houres by 4. minutes of an houre they preuent the same place and in euery 15. dayes one houre sooner they become North aboue the pole which if any man do rightly mark he may easely find out the houre of the night at any time But if you will fitly apply to this purpose of the South starres the greatest part whereof do moue within the Tropikes of Cancer and Capricorn you shal turne about the vppermost round circle or the moueable wheele wherein the Guardes of Vrsa minor are purtraied taking the same point in this circle you shal set it right vpon the Southeast poynt of the compasse where you shal beginne Then the Southerne starre which is called Canis Maior and Alhabor will stand in the Meridian about 16. degrees from the Aequator Three houres after when the said stars are in the East point Lucida hydrae which is also called Alphard standeth in the Meridian and right aboue it is placed the Maunger or Nebulosa Cancri But when the same stars are North northeast and North by East then Spica virginis standeth in the Meridian and about 4. houres after when those Guardes or watchers of Vrsa minor being mounted higher possesse the N. w. region of the firmament Cor Scorpii standeth in the Meridian declining from the Aequator almost 25. degrees But when the sayd stars beare west and by North then Lucida Sagittarii keepeth the Meridian but when you

Calender or Ephemerides DIuide the yeeres of our Lord by 4. and if nothing remayne after the diuision that yeare is Leape yeare but if the number of 1. 2. or 3. shall remaine it signifieth what yeere it is after the Leape yeare As for example Take the yeare since the Natiuitie of Christ 1588. which beeing diuided by 4. nothing remayneth wherefore it is Leape yeare And the yeere 1589. the first after the Leape yeere The yeare 1590. the second the yeare 1591. the third But the yeare 1592. shall bee a Leape yeare againe and so forwards OF THE DECLINATION OF THE Sunne and the vse thereof FOr asmuch as for many and waighty causes ten daies are once for euer cut off from the yeare by certaine Monarchs of Europe as needlesse that thereby the Equinoctiall or Solstitiall pointes might bee brought to the same dayes of the moneth as of olde time they were in the time of the Nicene councel and so the 4. seasons of the yeare viz. the Spring Summer Haruest and VVinter begin on the same dayes as they were wont And furthermore as the appearances and suppositions of the 8. sphere do shew a manifest inequality in the greatnes of the sunne so in continuance of time as apparant an alteration is perceiued in his greatest obliquation For by the obseruations of Erarosthenes Hipparchus and Ptolomy of which the two first liued a little before the beginning of the Romaine Empire and the third a little after the greatest obliquation of the sunne was found to be almost euen with his vtmost declination so that in the time of Iulius Caesar and the beginning of the Romaine Empire the greatest was of 23. degrees and 52 minutes But afterward it decreased by little and little as plainly appeareth by the obseruations of Albaregnius and since by Arzahel the Spanyard Almeon Almanzor Prophatius the Ievve and many others which for this last hundred yeares by the diligent study and obseruing of George Purbachius Iohannes Regiomontanus Vernerus Copernicus c. is yet found still decreasing so that at this time it is well neare vpon the last and farthest poynt viz. in 23. degrees and 28. minutes or at least wanting a few seconds Therefore VVagener thought it not impertinent to set downe the table of the declination of the Sunne for the behoofe of all Pilots Shipmasters and all kinde of Saylers aswell according to the right course of the sunne as this apparant obliquation of our time hoping that he should doe therein that which should be acceptable and not vnprofitable vnto them But it hath since beene thought fitter for vs in England to follow our auncient and accustomed stile not acknowledging any such perfection of the Gregorian reformation ❧ OF THE VSE OF THE Table following for the Sunnes declination FIrst you must know whether it be a Leape yeare or the first second or third yeare after the Leape yeare and when you vnderstand the same entring the Table of that yeare you shall seeke out your purposed moneth and day in the toppe and side titles for the common Angle will shew the declination of the sunne for the same day northward from the 10. of March to the 13. of September and southward from the 13. of September to the 10. of March and these dayes are marked thus ✚ Now if you desire to knowe the latitude of any countrey or height of the Pole take the meridian height of the sunne by your Astrolabe or Crosse staffe and it will shewe the distance of the sunne from the Zenith or highest poynt And if the declination of the sunne be Northward the same day adde it to the distance of the sunne from the Zenith But contrarywise deduct it againe if the declination be Southward and you shall haue the latitude of that place or the altitude of the Pole As for example VVagener in the yeere 1583. the 21. of Ianuary tooke by Astrolabe at Enchuysen the meridian altitude of the sunne about 20. degrees and 50. minutes wherefore the distance thereof from the Zenith is neare 69. degrees and 10. minutes In the Table of the declination of the Sunne the third yeare after the Leape yeare hee found the same day after his accoumpt the obliquation of the sun in 17. 20. minuts southward which being deducted from the distance of the sunne from the Zenith because it is Southward there remaine 52. degrees and 50. minuts which is the latitude or altitude of the Pole of the Citie of Enchuysen In the yeare 1588. the 8. of Iuly at London the meridian altitude of the Sunne was obserued 59. degrees 28. minuts VVherefore his distaunce from the Zenith is 30. degrees 32. minuts In the Table of the Sunnes declination for the Leape yeare I find for that day the Suns Northren Obliquation 21. degrees 2. minuts which added to the Sunnes distance from the Zenith because it is Northerly maketh the whole 51. degrees 34. minuts which is the true latitude of the place or altitude of the Pole for the Citie of London ❧ THE DECLINATION OF THE SVNNE for the first yeere after the Leape yeere Ianuarie Februarie Marche   Aprill May.

But the Epact beginneth in the Calendes of March and increaseth euery yeere 11. and endeth at 30. VVherefore when it exceedeth 30. by casting away the whole circle the remainder is the Epact to which euery yeere is added 11. as is aforesayd Now if you will know what day of euery moneth the new Moone doth happen take the number of the Epact of the present yeare and adde therevnto the number of the moneths past from the beginning of March reckoning also the moneth present And if these numbers beeing added together amount not aboue 30. then asmuch as you want of 30. is the day of the new Moone of that moneth But if you looke for the age of the Moone adde the dayes that are past of the moneth present to the Epact and the moneths since March and the number remaining after the substraction of 30. declareth the age of the Moone But if being added together it be vnder 30. that selfe same telleth how olde the Moone is But you may perceaue these things more plainly by examples The example of the first I would know the new Moone of the moneth of Iune Anno 1588. The Epact of this yeere is 12. wherevnto I adde 4. for the 4. moneths beginning at March which being put together make 16. Now this number is lesse then 30. and therefore I substract 16. from 30. and there remaineth 14. so that the new Moone was the 14. of Iune The other example I demaund how olde the Moone shall be the 24. of August of this same yeere 1588. The Epact is 12. to it I adde 6. for the moneths past they make 18. wherevnto I adde 24. the number of the dayes of August and then haue I 42. which exceedeth 30. by 12. which sheweth the age of the Moone and therefore the 24. of August the Moone shall be 12. dayes old If you will find the Epact without any booke begin to recken 10. at the lowest ioynt of your thombe at the other 20. at the third and last 30. which done count the Golden number vpon the ioynts of your thombe reckoning from the lowest to the highest vntill you come to the end of it And if your account shall ende on the lowest ioynt of your thombe where I haue set 10. adde ten to the Golden number which being both put together doe make the Epact for that yeere But if the reckoning shall end vpon the second ioynt adde 20. to the Golden number and both the numbers together doe shew the Epact But if it end on the third the Golden number and the Epact shall be one As for example The question is what the Epact is Anno 1588. the Golden number is 12. which in numbering endeth on the third ioynt where stand 30. which being added make 42. of which 30. being cast away the remaynder is the Epact which beginneth alwaies the first of March as the Golden number doth the first of Ianuary OF THE FIXED STARRES AND THEIR VSE FIrst it is necessary for you to know that the obliquitie or declination of the fixed starres is of two sortes to wit Northward and Southward which in the Catalogue of the fixed starres are marked with these letters N and S. If you will seeke the height of the Pole in any place by the helpe of any fixed starre set downe in the Table following take her Meridian altitude by the quadrant or Crosse staffe Then by the Table following seeke out her North or South declination which you must adde to the altitude if the declination be southerly or substract it if it be northerly and it will shew you the altitude of the Aequator which beeing deducted from 90 expresseth the height of the Pole As you shall perceiue more plainely by familiar example In the yeere 1583. on the 10. day of Ianuary about fiue a clocke in the morning Wagener tooke at Enchuysen the Meridian altitude of Spica virginis with the Crosse staffe in 28. degrees and 15. minutes The Table sheweth that her Southward declination is 8. degrees and 55. minutes which being added to the Meridian altitude declareth the Aequator to be 37. degrees and 10. minutes high which being substracted from 90. there remayneth 52. degrees and 50. minutes which is the altitude of the Pole for Enchuysen Another example is that the 11. day of Ianuary in the same yeere about 8. of the clocke towardes the euening Wagener tooke the Meridian altitude of Palilicium or Oculus Tauri of 53. degrees and 4. minuts The Table teacheth that his Northward declination is of 15. degrees and 54. minutes which you must take from the altitude because it is Northward and leaue 37. degrees 10. minutes for the altitude of the Aequator when you haue substracted these numbers from 90. that which remayneth being 52. degrees and 50. minutes is the height of the Pole as aforesaid If you will learne the true houre of the night by the fixed starres marke well some one of the fyxed starres which you know standing in the South then looke for the same in the Table and take the houres and minutes from the declination And

seeke also for the day of the yeere in the next Table to the Catalogue and substract the houres and minutes which you finde there from the houres and minutes which are alotted to the starre and that which remayneth signifieth the houres and minutes of the mid-day last past But if it shall happen that the starre shall haue lesse houres and minutes then a naturall day hath then adde 24. houres to those of the starre and substract as aforesaid It will appeare more plainely by this example Wee haue before marked Spica virginis vppon the 10. of Ianuary and therefore must we seeke out the houre of his obseruation In the Catalogue right against this starre are 13. houres and 3. minutes and in the Table of the dayes the 10. day of Ianuary hath 20. houres and 10. minutes Wherefore we adde 24. houres to the houres of the starre and they make together 37. houres and 3. minutes Substract from hence 20. houres and 10. minutes and there remaine 16. houres and 53. minutes which are the houres from the last midday And therefore the obseruation was made at 4. a clocke 53. minutes in the morning or after midnight An other example is Wagenar saw the 11. day of Ianuary aforesaid Palilicium or Oculus Tauri In the Catalogue you shall finde hard by the starre 4. houres 12. minutes Likewise the Table of the dayes about the 11. day of Ianuary giueth you 20. houres 14. minutes And because the houres of the starre are fewer then those of the day he added 24. houres which being put together make 28. and 12. minutes Hee substracted from them 20. houres 14. minutes and there remayned 7. houres and 58. minutes And therefore the time to marke the starre was at 7. a clocke and 58. minutes in the afternoone I will also shew a third example The 17. of March Anno Domini 1583. Wagenar tooke the Meridian altitude of the starre called Rostrum Corui that is the Rauens byll the houre thereof hee gathered after this manner In the Catalogue where this starre is mencioned you haue 11. houres 48. minutes In the Table of the dayes you finde 17. dayes of March houres 0. minutes 24. which beeing deducted from the houres of the starre are 11. houres and 24. minutes remayning Wherefore this obseruation was taken the 11. houre 24. minutes after midday And so proceed with other fixed starres The Dodecatemories in the Zodiacke are partly Northerly and partly Southerly The North signes are Aries Taurus Gemini Cancer Leo Virgo for the Summer season the Southerne are Libra Scorpius Sagittarius Capricornus Aquarius Pisces which are the signes for the Winter To euery seuerall signe are appoynted particular moneths March Aprill May Iune Iuly August are assigned for the Summer and September October Nouember December Ianuary February for the Winter A CATALOGVE OF THE MORE FAMOVS FIXED STARRES WITH THEIR LONGITVDE DECLINATION RIGHT ASCENSION CONVERTED INTO HOWERS AND MAGNITVDE RECTIFIED TO THE BEGINNING OF THE YEERE 1588.     Longitude Deg.

This golden number is called the circle of the moone because in the space of 19. yeares the Moone after hauing made all her changes and coniunctions with the Sunne and passed thorow the signes of the Zodiacke beginneth agayn to change almost at the very same houre and day as before How to finde out the Epact without an Ephemerides or Almanacke according to the new stile YOu must haue the Golden number readie in your minde by the former rule which you shall recken vpon the ioyncts of your thombe from the lowest to the vppermost and if your accompt do ende at the lowest ioint the Golden number and the Epact shal be one But if it ende vpon the seconde adde x. to the Golden number which beyng put together make the Epact for that yeare But if it endeth on the highest ioynt adde .20 to the golden number and so beyng put together you haue the Epact But if it passe .30 cast that away and keepe the remainder for your Epact For example I would know the Epact of the yeare 1588. I finde the Golden number to be 12. by the rule aforesayd which being reckened endeth vpon the vppermost ioynt of the thombe and therfore do I adde 20. to the Golden number which maketh 32. so that 2. is the Epact for that yeare which is also expressed in the former table That you may learne the time of the new Moone rightly from the yeare .1588 to the yeare 1606. SEeke in the Table folowyng the Golden number of the yeare for which you seeke in the first Colomne and you shall finde in the side entrance the new Moones for the whole yeare through all the monthes what day houer and minut they are which as VVagenar made according to the new stile Calculated for the Meridian of Enchuysen so here they are reduced to the olde stile and calculated to the Meridian of London It happeneth sometimes that two new moones are in one moneth which the Table will shew But after the time of 1606. is expired this Table geueth you the new Moones accordyng to the middle or equall motion of both lights vpon the same day but deducting an howre and a halfe and hauyng regarde to the Leape yeare A TABLE OF THE NEVV MOONES FOR THE MERIDIAN OF LONDON   Golden Numb Ianuarie Februare Marche Aprill Maie Iune   Da.
