these_o be_v well_o know_v you_o may_v look_v what_o star_n lie_v near_o any_o one_o of_o they_o and_o there_o you_o will_v find_v what_o star_n it_o be_v as_o for_o example_n i_o see_v a_o star_n lie_v just_a over_o the_o star_n in_o the_o great_a bear_n back_o look_v in_o the_o rundle_n i_o find_v that_o star_n to_o be_v in_o the_o end_n of_o the_o dragons-tayl_n and_o so_o you_o may_v learn_v to_o know_v they_o all_o one_o from_o the_o other_o compare_v the_o star_n you_o see_v in_o the_o heaven_n to_o they_o that_o be_v in_o the_o rundle_n and_o though_o you_o may_v see_v many_o star_n in_o the_o heaven_n yet_o these_o be_v of_o the_o great_a magnitude_n among_o they_o another_o way_n to_o know_v the_o true_a name_n of_o a_o star_n and_o to_o know_v it_o from_o other_o first_o note_v a_o star_n in_o the_o heaven_n that_o you_o see_v upon_o or_o near_o the_o meridian_n then_o look_v in_o the_o nocturnal_a for_o the_o day_n of_o the_o month_n and_o bring_v that_o day_n to_o the_o hour_n of_o the_o night_n next_o the_o flower_n de_fw-fr luce_n then_o look_v what_o star_n lie_v between_o the_o flower_n de_fw-fr luce_n and_o the_o pole_n in_o the_o rundle_n and_o that_o be_v the_o star_n and_o its_o name_n which_o i_o see_v in_o the_o heaven_n but_o then_o if_o look_v on_o the_o rundle_n i_o find_v two_o star_n lie_v between_o the_o flower_n de_fw-fr luce_n and_o the_o pole_n than_o you_o must_v note_v which_o be_v near_a the_o pole_n and_o which_o further_a off_o and_o so_o you_o may_v know_v each_o from_o other_o and_o because_o to_o know_v the_o north-star_n be_v very_o expedient_a i_o will_v show_v you_o how_o to_o do_v it_o after_o i_o have_v give_v a_o example_n of_o what_o i_o last_o lay_v down_o upon_o the_o first_o of_o april_n at_o half_a a_o hour_n past_o nine_o i_o see_v two_o bright_a star_n upon_o the_o meridian_n the_o one_o near_o i_o than_o the_o other_o then_o to_o know_v the_o name_n of_o those_o two_o star_n and_o to_o know_v they_o from_o other_o i_o bring_v the_o letter_n a_o for_o april_n to_o half_a a_o hour_n past_o nine_o from_o noon_n the_o
flower_n de_fw-fr luce_n note_v noon_n and_o so_o count_v 1_o 2_o 3_o to_o half_a past_o nine_o then_o look_v in_o a_o right_a line_n from_o the_o flower_n de_fw-fr luce_n to_o the_o pole_n i_o see_v the_o star_n near_a i_o as_o it_o lie_v in_o the_o heaven_n to_o be_v in_o the_o thigh_n of_o the_o great_a bear_n and_o that_o further_a from_o i_o to_o be_v in_o the_o back_n of_o the_o bear_n and_o then_o look_v a_o little_a to_o the_o east_n in_o the_o heaven_n i_o see_v two_o more_o follow_v in_o a_o front_n and_o after_o they_o come_v three_o more_o for_o these_o i_o look_v in_o the_o rundle_n and_o one_o of_o the_o two_o next_o to_o the_o two_o i_o find_v on_o the_o meridian_n be_v upon_o the_o great_a bear_n buttock_n the_o other_o in_o the_o root_n of_o his_o tail_n the_o first_o of_o the_o three_o follow_v i_o find_v to_o be_v thus_o the_o first_o in_o the_o tail_n the_o second_o in_o the_o middle_n of_o the_o tail_n the_o three_o in_o the_o extremity_n or_o end_n of_o the_o tail_n and_o by_o this_o you_o may_v come_v to_o know_v all_o the_o star_n inscribe_v in_o this_o rundle_n and_o this_o always_o note_n that_o the_o star_n which_o in_o the_o heaven_n you_o find_v next_o to_o you_o that_o star_n will_v appear_v next_o the_o edge_n of_o the_o rundle_n and_o this_o be_v when_o you_o find_v two_o star_n upon_o the_o meridian_n at_o once_o now_o i_o shall_v show_v you_o how_o to_o find_v out_o the_o north-star_n from_o the_o rest_n which_o you_o see_v in_o the_o heaven_n and_o this_o star_n be_v very_o bright_a be_v one_o of_o the_o second_o magnitude_n or_o bigness_n the_o most_o exact_a and_o speedy_a way_n be_v this_o take_v a_o quadrant_n astrolabe_n or_o crossstaff_n and_o as_o near_o as_o you_o can_v guess_v look_v through_o the_o sight_n of_o your_o instrument_n into_o the_o north_n part_n of_o the_o heaven_n so_o high_a as_o be_v the_o latitude_n of_o your_o place_n and_o it_o will_v soon_o show_v you_o whereabout_o it_o be_v for_o there_o be_v no_o star_n so_o great_a near_o it_o and_o when_o you_o have_v thus_o find_v it_o be_v sure_a you_o note_v it_o well_o how_o it_o lie_v from_o other_o star_n that_o you_o may_v know_v it_o again_o thus_o at_o london_n the_o latitude_n be_v 51_o degree_n and_o a_o half_a i_o lift_v up_o the_o sight_n of_o the_o quadrant_n or_o astrolabe_n till_o the_o thread_n of_o the_o quadrant_n or_o aledida_n of_o the_o astrolabe_n fall_v upon_o 51_o degree_n and_o a_o half_a then_o look_v still_o at_o that_o height_n i_o look_v as_o near_o the_o north_n point_n as_o i_o can_v guess_v and_o there_o or_o very_o near_o be_v the_o pole_n or_o north-star_n if_o you_o have_v a_o magnetic_a needle_n that_o will_v show_v you_o the_o north_n point_n of_o heaven_n the_o next_o way_n to_o find_v the_o north-star_n be_v this_o which_o be_v do_v without_o any_o instrument_n look_v into_o the_o north_n part_n of_o heaven_n note_v some_o star_n that_o be_v little_a above_o half_a the_o height_n of_o heaven_n from_o the_o low_a part_n of_o the_o heaven_n and_o by_o diligent_a notice_n see_v whether_o in_o a_o hour_n time_n or_o more_o you_o can_v see_v it_o remove_v from_o the_o place_n where_o you_o first_o see_v it_o if_o it_o be_v remove_v that_o be_v not_o the_o star_n and_o so_o continue_v note_n the_o star_n that_o lie_v as_o beforesaid_a half_a above_o the_o horizon_n and_o move_v not_o and_o that_o be_v the_o polestar_n and_o this_o star_n will_v be_v the_o soon_o know_v because_o it_o be_v more_o remote_a from_o any_o bright_a star_n than_o any_o star_n near_o it_o the_o reason_n why_o this_o star_n move_v not_o be_v because_o it_o be_v near_o the_o pole_n and_o the_o other_o star_n move_v round_o this_o yet_o be_v not_o this_o star_n without_o a_o motion_n for_o it_o move_v round_o the_o true_a pole_n but_o the_o eye_n can_v scarce_o perceive_v it_o to_o move_v at_o all_o a_o example_n of_o this_o in_o a_o night_n when_o the_o star_n may_v be_v see_v i_o look_v up_o half_a way_n into_o the_o heaven_n and_o a_o little_a high_o and_o as_o near_a north_n as_o i_o can_v which_o i_o know_v by_o the_o build_n of_o a_o church_n who_o steeple_n stand_v always_o west_n from_o the_o church_n and_o there_o i_o see_v a_o bright_a star_n by_o itself_o and_o it_o stand_v so_o that_o i_o may_v just_o see_v it_o by_o the_o edge_n of_o a_o house-wal_n then_o i_o mark_v how_o and_o where_o i_o stand_v and_o go_v away_o and_o come_v two_o three_o four_o or_o five_o hour_n after_o and_o stand_v just_a in_o the_o place_n as_o i_o do_v before_o and_o find_v that_o the_o star_n be_v not_o remove_v out_o of_o that_o place_n therefore_o by_o all_o token_n this_o must_v needs_o be_v the_o polestar_n but_o if_o i_o find_v the_o star_n remove_v i_o conclude_v that_o that_o be_v not_o the_o star_n but_o i_o try_v another_o and_o another_o till_o i_o do_v find_v it_o take_v this_o for_o a_o sure_a ground_n that_o it_o lie_v full_a north_n from_o i_o and_o that_o a_o little_a above_o half_a of_o the_o height_n of_o the_o heaven_n or_o thereabouts_o in_o the_o latitude_n of_o 51_o degree_n the_o next_o thing_n be_v how_o to_o know_v the_o meridian_n in_o the_o heaven_n have_v find_v out_o the_o north-star_n six_o your_o eye_n upon_o it_o and_o imagine_v as_o near_o as_o you_o can_v a_o direct_a line_n to_o be_v draw_v from_o that_o star_n to_o the_o place_n in_o the_o heaven_n right_a over_o your_o head_n and_o that_o line_n be_v the_o meridian_n and_o when_o you_o see_v any_o know_a star_n come_v to_o this_o line_n then_o be_v that_o star_n upon_o the_o meridian_n when_o a_o star_n be_v not_o quite_o come_v to_o it_o that_o star_n be_v say_v to_o want_v of_o its_o come_n to_o the_o meridian_n when_o a_o star_n be_v go_v past_o this_o

of_o the_o place_n and_o whereas_o i_o say_v let_v this_o line_n be_v draw_v from_o the_o polestar_n it_o be_v for_o the_o ease_n of_o those_o who_o be_v not_o verse_v in_o astronomy_n though_o the_o true_a arch_n of_o the_o meridian_n must_v be_v draw_v from_o the_o true_a pole_n yet_o in_o the_o use_n of_o this_o instrument_n it_o beget_v no_o sensible_a error_n to_o draw_v this_o line_n or_o
