day after the rising of the Sun about three of the Clock or before that is when the Moon shall be so much above the Horizon on the part of the East in the day quarter of flowing how much the Moon is under the Horison on the same part of the East in the Night quarter of reflowing because then the Sun and Moon shall be of equal force because they shall be in the points of equal Virtue in the quarters of contrary operation and the beginning of the Night flowing shall be in the Night after the setting of the Sun that is when the Sun shall be so much under the Horizon on the same part of the West in the Day quarter of flowing how much the Moon is under the Horizon on the same part of the West in the Day quarter of reflowing and the beginning of the day reflowing shall be in the Day after noon when the Sun shall be so muâ—h after noon and the Day quarter of reflowing how much the Moon before Noon in the day quarter of flowing and the beginning of the day reflowing of the Night shall be in the Day after Midnight that is when the Sun shall be so much after the point of Midnight in the Night quarter of reflowing how much the Moon shall be in the Night quarter of flowing And if the Moon be in the first Quadrature and the opposition the Moon yet in her rising followeth the Sun and then shall be the beginning of the Day following in the day nfter Noon about evening that is a little before or after that when the Sun shall be so much above the Horizon on the part of the West in the Day quarter of reflowing how much the Moon is above the Horizon on the part of the East in the Day quarter of flowing and the beginning of the Night flowing shall be on the Day before Day that is about Morning before or after that is when the Sun shall be so much under the Horizon on the part of the East in the Night quarter of reflowing how much the Moon is under the Horizon on the part of the West in the Night quarter of flowing and the beginning of the Day reflowing shall be in the Day before Noon when the Sun shall be so much before the point of Noon how much the Moon after the point of Midnight in the quarter of the Night-flowing how much the Moon is after the point of Noon or Mid day in the day quarter of reflowing And if the Moon shall be between the oppsition of the Sun and her second quadrature with the Sun then the Moon in her rising goeth before the Sun and then the beginnings both of flowings and reflowings are in like manner as they were when the Moon was betwen the Conjunction and the first quadrature For the beginning of the day flowing shall be in the day quarter about three of the Clock before or after that is to say when the Sun shall be so much above the Horizon on the East part in the day quarter of flowing And the beginning of the night flowing shall be in the Night when the Sun shall be so much under the Horizon on the part of the West in the Night quarter of reflowing how much the Moon is under the Horizon on the part of the East in the night quarter of reflowing But the beginning of the day reflowing shall be in the day afternoon when the Sun shall be so much after the point of the South in the day quarter of reflowing as the Moon before the point of Midnight in the Night quarter of flowing And the beginning of the Night reflowing shall be in the day when the Sun shall be so much after the point of Midnight in the Night quarter of reflowing how much the Moon is before the point of Noon in the day quarter of flowing And if the Moon shall be between the second quadrature and her conjunction with the Sun then the Moon also in her rising shall go before the Sun and then shall be the beginning of flowing and reflowing in the same hours as they be when the Moon is in the first quadrature and opposition because the beginning of the day of the day flowing in the day after noon about evening before or after when the Sun shall be so much above the Horizon on the part of the West in the day quarter of reflowing how much the Moon is under the Horizon on the same part of the West in the night quarter of flowing and the beginning of the night flowing shall be in the night about morning before or after when the Sun shall be so much under the Horizon on the part of the East in the night quarter of reflowing how much the Moon is above the Hâ—rizon in the same part of the East in the day quarter of flowing But the beginning of the day flowing shall be on the day before noon when the Moon shall be so much after the point of midday or the South in the day quarter of reflowing how much the Sun is before it in the day quarter of flowing and the beginning of the night reflowing shall be in the night before midnight that is when the Moon shall be so much after the point of midnight in the night quarter of reflowing how much the Sun before the point of midnight is in the night quarter of flowing And hereby it appeareth that as well the flowing as the reflowing of the Water of the Sea begin as we have said not always in the same hours of the night for the beginning of flowing is either in the beginning of the day or the beginning of the night which chanceth the Moon being in conjunction or opposition to the Sun or is before day from the mornings towards the day or from the day untill four of the Clock or thereabouts or is before evening towards the evening Tyde and from thence to the Cock Crowing or thereabouts which chanceth when the Moon is between her conjunction or opposition with the Sun or any of the quadratures The begining of the reflowing is either at noon or at midnight as when the Moon is in conjunction or opposition with the Sun or is before noon or after or before midnight or after as when the Moon is between her conjunction or opposition with the Sun and any of her quadratures It is apparent also that sometimes the Water of the Sea doth not determinate or certain begining neither order of flowing or reflowing which chanceth the Moon being in her quadratures with the Sun It is manifest also that all flowing of the Water of the Sea is caused by respect to the Horizon on the part of the East or West And every reflowing by the respect to the meridian or to the point of midday or midnight Here also is to be considered that all that is said are most certainly true in a right Horizon but in an oblique or side Horizon they sometimes faile as shall
or increase of the Water of the Sea and other two in which is made the flowing or increase of the Water of the Sea and other two in which is made the flowing or decrease of the Sea The quarters in the which is made the flowing is the quarter which is from the East to the South above the Horizon which is the quarter of the day access or increase of the day and the quarter opposite or contrary which is from the West to midnight under the Horizon which is the quarter of the night access The quarters in which is made the reflowing or decrese is the quarter which is from the South to the West above the Horizon which is the quarter of the recess of the day and the quarter opposite which is from midnight to the East under the Horizon in the quarter of the recess of the night Secondly Is also to be known that there are in Heaven eight points of the flowing and reflowing or increase or decrease of the Sea of the which four are strong and four are weak two are weak for the flowing and two for the reflowing weak for flowing are the points of the East and West which are the begining of the two quarters of flowing weak for reflowing is the point of the South or Midday and the point of Midnight which are the begining of the quarters of reflowing and these four are distant the one from the other by a quarter of Heaven Of the strong points two are strong for flowing and two for reflowing Strong for the flowing is the middle point between the East and the South being distant from the East 45 degrees and from the South likewise and the middle point between the West and Midnight in the night quarter of flowing being distant from the West 45 degrees and from Midnight in the same manner Points strong for the reflowing is the middle point between the South and West in the day quarter of the reflowing being distant from the South 45 degrees and from the West likewise And the Middle point between Midnight and the East in the quarter of the night reflowing being distant from Midnight 45 degrees and from the East likewise And as the weak Points are distant one from the other by a quarter of the Heaven so are also the strong Points distant the one from the other by a quarter of Heaven to them that have a right Horizon Thirdly It is to be known that besides the aforesaid eight Points to such as have a right Horizon there are many other Points equipolent or of equal virtue And such are all the Points of Heaven equally distant from the four principal Points of Heaven which four principal Points are the Point of the East Point of the West Point of the South and Point of Midnight or from the four strong Points of Heaven which is all one yet in quarters of contrary operation for all such Points are equipolent or of equal virtue in moving of the Water of the Sea but in a right Horizon it is otherwise as shall appear hereafter Fourthly We are also to take notice that the Sun and the Moon every month are together in one signe degree and minute And this so being is called the conjunction of the Moon with the Sun From thence for the space of eight days or thereabout the Moon is departed from the Sun by her proper motion by a fourth part of Heaven and this departing is called the first quarter of the Moon with the Sun From thence about fourteen days or near upon she is departed from the Sun another fourth part of Heaven and so by the half of Heaven and this distance is called the opposition of the Moon with the Sun by the full Moon From thence to 21 days or thereabouts she is departed from her opposition with the Sun or Full moon by another fourth part of the Heaven coming toward the Sun and this distance is called the second quadrature of the Moon with the Sun and then the Moon is distant from the Sun by a fourth part of the Heaven as it was distant in the first quarter and so cometh near to conjunction with the Sun From thence at 30 days or thereabouts the Moon is again in conjunction with the Sun as she was at the first Fifthly and lastly We are to take notice that the Sun and the moon both together every natural day which is the time of 24 hours to the moving of the first moveable are the causes of flowing and reflowing or the increase or decease of the Water of the Sea twice The declarations premised and well kept in memorie Let us declare how the sun and moon both together every natural day to the moving of the first moveable are the causes of the flowing and reflowing of the Sea For if all these declarations are well kept in memory and especially the quarters of the Heaven in which is the flowing and the quarters of Heaven in which is the reflowing and which are the strongest Points for the flowing and strong Points for the reflowing These I say being kept in memory all the narration of the moving and false quietness of rhe Sea shall be clear manifest For the further Illusteration of what hath or shall be said hereafter I have thought fit to insert this following Figure A Figure shewing the beginning of the day increase at the Sun rising and the beginning of the day decrease in the Midday and the beginning of the Night increase at the Sun setting and the beginning of the Night decrease at Midnight THe Figure is so plainly demonstrated that we need not to make any stop for it but to proceed First of all therefore as touching the flowing and reflowing of the Sea to the moving of the first moveable it is to be known that when the sun and the moon are joyned together which conjunction is called Novilunium that is the new moon when they are moved to the moving of the first moveable from the East to the South because the virtues both of the sun and moon are united together and both these Luminaries are moved continually in the moving of the first moveable by the quarters of the day flowing which is from the East to the West the day flowing or encrease of the Sea is continued and while they move from the South to the West because they are moved continually by the day quarter of the reflowing the reflowing still continueth and while they are moved from the West to Midnight because they are then moved by the quarter of the night flowing The night flowing is again continual and while they are moved from midnight to the East because they are then moved by the night quarter of reflowing the night reflowing is again continuall and thus twice in the natural day is the flowing or encrease and twice the reflowing or decrease of the Water of the Sea It is again secondarily to he known that when the moon after her
conjunction with the sun by her proper motion is departed from the sun towards the East according to the order of the signs going towards the first quadrature of sun which the Italian Pilots call 41 quartirone ever before the moon by her proper motion come to the first quarter which is the distance of the moon from the sun towards the East according to the order of the signs by a quarter or fourth part of the Heaven when the sun is so much above the Horizon of the East part in the quarter of the day flowing how much the moon is under the Horizon in the same part of the East in the quarter of the night reflowing because then the sun is so much distant from the strong point of the flowing above the Horizon they are equipollent and of equal virtue therefore then is neither flowing nor reflowing of the Water of the Sea but the Water seemeth to stand which the Venetians call L' aqua e ' stanca But when the sun by the motion of the first moveable cometh near to the strong Point of flowing which is above the Horizon in the day quarter of flowing the moon by the same motion of the first moveable departeth so much from the south Point of the reflowing which is under the Horizon in the night quarter of the reflowing coming towards the weak Point of the East flowing then is the moon in the strong point of reflowing which is under the Horizon in the night quarter of the reflowing the reflowing is weakned and the flowing is fortifyed And then the Water of the Sea begineth to flow And how much more the sun approacheth to the strong point of flowing which is above the Horizon in the day quarter of flowing so much more the moon is departed rom the strong Point of the reflowing which is under the Horizon in the night quarter of the reflowing approaching to the weak Point of the East flowing and therefore the flowing continueth But when the sun by the motion of the first moveable cometh to the strong point of the flowing which is above the Horizon in the day quarter of the flowing then the moon is departed from the strong Point of the reflowing which is under the Horizon in the night quarter of reflowing and is made near to the Point of the Eeast flowing and therefore the flowing yet continueth But when the moon shall come to the weak Point of the East flowing she then to the moving of the first moveable is moved by the day quarter of flowing approaching to the strong Point of flowing which is above the Horizon and the Sun because it is distant from the moon less then a quarter shall likewise be moved by the same day quarter of the flowing and approaching to the weak Point of the south reflowing and therefore because both are moved by the day quarter of flowing approaching to the strong Point of flowing which is about the Horizon And the sun because it is distant from the moon less then a quarter shall likewise be moved by the same day quarter of flowing approaching to the same weak Point of the south reflowing and therefore because both are moved by the day quarter of the flowing the flowing shall continue And when the sun by the moving of the first moveable cometh to the weak Point of the reflowing because then the moon is nearer the strong point of the flowing which is above the Horizon then the sun to the strong Point of the reflowing which is above the Horizon in the day quarter of the reflowing the flowing shall continue And when that the moon shall come to the strong point of flowing in the day quarter of flowing the sun shall not yet be in the strong Point of the reflowing in the day quarter of the reflowing because the sun is distant from the moon less then a quarter but will come to it and then the moon shall depart from the strong point of the flowing and shall be less distant from it then the sun from the strong Point of reflowing and therefore the flowing shall yet continue untill the sun be so much beyond the South towards the West in the day quarter of reflowing how much the moon is on this side the south towards the East in the day quarter of flowing And then the sun shall be so much distant from the strong Point of flowing which is above the Horizon beyound the South in the day quarter of the reflowing how much the moon is from the strong Point of the flowing which is above the Horizon before the South in the day quarter of flowing and incontinently the sun and the moon shall be equipolent or of equal strength and therefore shall be no flowing nor reflowing as we have said before And when the sun by the motion of the first moveable shall come to the strong Point of reflowing in the day quarter of reflowing the moon by the same motion of the first moveable shall be departed so much from the strong Point of flowing in the day quarter of flowing coming towards the weak Point of the South reflowing and then the moon shall be more distant from the strong Point of flowing then the sun from the strong Point of reflowing And so the sun shall be stronger than the moon and therefore then shall begin the reflowing and shall continue according aa the sun shall approach to the strong point of the reflowing in the day quarter of the reflowing and the moon shall be departed from the strong Point of the flowing in the quarter of the day flowing And when the sun shall come to the strong Point of the reflowing the moon shall be departed frem the strong Point of the flowing in the quarter of the day flowing And when the sun shall come to the strong Point of the reflowing the moon shall be departed from the strong Point of the flowing and therefore the reflowing shall continue And when the moon shall come to the weak Point of the South reflowing the sun shall be departed from the strong Point of the reflowing in the day quarter of the reflowing coming towards the weak Point of the West flowing yet shall the sun be less distant from the strong Point of the reflowing then the moon from the strong Point of the flowing and therefore the reflowing shall yet continue And when the sun shall come to the weak point of the West flowing yet shall the sun be less distant from the strong Point of the reflowing then the moon from the strong Point of the flowing and therefore the reflowing shall yet continue And when the sun shall come to the weak Point of the West flowing the moon shall be near to the strong Point of reflowing which is above the Horizon in the day quarter of reflowing and shall be less distant from it then the sun from the strong Point of the flowing which is under the Horizon in the night quarter of flowing because she is distant
from the Sun less then a quarter of the fourth part of Heaven therefore the reflowing shall yet continue untill the Sun shall be so much on the Horizon on the Wâ—st part in the quarter of the night flowing how much the Moon is above the Horizon in the same part of the West in the day quarter of reflowing And because then the Moon shall be so much distant from the strong Point of the flowing which is under the Horizon in the West part in the night quarter of the flowing as the Moon from the strong Point of reflowing which is above the Horizon in that part of the West in the day quarter of reflowing then the Sun and the Moon shall be equipollent that is of equal strength and virtue and so shall there be neither Floowing nor Refloowing But when the sun by the moving of the first moveable shall come to the strong Point of the Flowing which is under the Horizon in the night quarter of the Flowing the moon by the same moving of the first moveable shall be departed as much from the strong Point of reflowing which is above the Horizon in the day quarter of Reflowing and then the sun shall be less distant from the strong Point of Reflowing which is above the Horizon in the day quarter of Reflowing then the sun shall be less distant from the strong point of flowing in the night quarter of flowing then the moon from the strong Point of reflowing in the day quarter of reflowing and therefore the sun shall be stronger than the moon and then again shall begin the flowing and shall continue as is said before untill the sun be so much beyond midnight towards the East in the night quarter of reflowing how much the moon is on this side midnight towards the West in the night quarter of flowing and the sun shall be so much distant from the strong Point of reflowing as the moon from the strong Point of the flowing and then incontinently the sun and the moon shall be of equal strength and there shall be neither flowing nor reflowing But when the Sun by the moving of the first moveable cometh to the strong pont of the reflowing in the Night quarter of reflowing the Moon by the same moving of the first moveable goeth back and is departed as much from the strong point of the Flowing in the Night quarter of the Flowing comming to the weak point of Midnight reflowing and then the Sun shall be less distant from the strong point of reflowing in the Night quarter of the flowing and then shall the flowing be weakned and the reflowing strengthned and the water of the Sea shall then begin again the reflowing shall continue as is said before untill the Sun be so much above the Horizon on the East part how much the Moon is under the Horizon on the same part of the East and then the Sun shall be so much distant from the strong point of the flowing which is above the Horizon in the day quarter of the flowing how much the Moon is from the strong point of the reflowing which is under the Horizon in the Night quarter of the reflowing and then the Sun and the Moon shall be again of equal strength and there shall be neither flowing nor reflowing Then dayly that is to say in every natural day shall return the like change to this aforesaid untill the Moon by her proper motion shall come to her first quadrature with the Sun which the Pilotes and Venetian Marriners call it quartirone as I said before and when the Moon shall come to her first quadrature with the Sun then when the Sun shall be in the weak Point of the East for the flowing the Moon shall be in the weak Point of Midnight for reflowing and then the Sun shall be so much distant from the strong Point of the flowing which is above the Horizon on the East part in the day quarter of the flowing how much the Moon is from the strong Point of reflowing which is under the Horizon of the same part of the East in the Night quarter of the reflowing and so the Sun and the Moon again shall be of equal force and power and there shall be but small flowing increase or diminishing And when the Sun by the motion of the first moveable shall come to the strong Point of the flowing which is above the Horizon on the East part in the day quarter of the flowing the Moon by the same motion of the first moveable shall come likewise so much to the strong Point of the reflowing which is under the Horizon on the same part of the East in the Night quarter of the reflowing and continually to the Diurnall or Day motion the Sun shall be also much distant from the strong Point of flowing which is above the Horizon in the day quarter of the flowing how much the Moon is from the strong Point of reflowing and continently the Sun and Moon shall be again of equal power untill the Sun by the moving of the first moveable shall come to the strong Point of flowing which is above the Horizon and then likewise the Moon shall come to the strong Point of reflowing which is under the Horizon because these Points are distant one from another by a quarter of Heaven as the Sun and the Moon are distant from themselves by a quarter of Heaven and when the Sun by the motion of the first moveable shall depart as much from the strong point of the reflowing which is under the Horizon coming toward the weak point of the East flowing and the Sun shall be continually distant so much from the strong point of flowing which is above the Horizon how much the Moon is from the strong point of reflowing which is under the Horizon untill the same come to the weak point of the South reflowing and then the Moon likewise shall come to the weak point of the East flowing And the Sun and the Moon shall be all this while of equal strength and incontinently there shall be neither flowing nor any notable reflowing and shall be after the same manner while the Sun is in the motion of the first moveable be moved from the South to the West because then the Moon by the motion of the first moveable shall be moâ—ed from the East to the South and likewise while the â—un shall be moved from the West to Midnight beâ—ause then the Moon shall be moved from the West to Midnight And so in all the time of one revolution of Heaven which is one day natural of 24 hours the Sea shall neither flow nor reflow sensibly but shall seem to stand because the Sun and the Moon in all the time of â—hat revolution of Heaven shall be ever of equal power without any notable difference And this chanceth about the eight day after the conjunction â—f the Moon with the Sun And the false quietness of the Water of the Sea of which the
Venetians use this manner of saying Da gliotto a Juove L' Acqua non si moâ—e From the eight day to the tenth the Water moveth not When the Moon shall be departed from the Sun beyond the first quadrature going towards her opposition with the Sun when the Sun shall be so much above the Horizon on the East part in the day quarter of the flowing how much the Moon is under the Horizon in the same part of the East in the Night quarter of the reflowing the Sun shall be so much distant from the strong point of the flowing which is above the Horizon in the day quarter of flowing departing from it by the motion of the first moveable and coming to the weak point of the reflowing how much the Moon is from the strong point of the reflowing which is under the Horizon in the Night quarter of the reflowing coming to it by the same motion of the first moveable and then the Sun and the Moon shall be again of equal power and there shall be neither flowing nor reflowing And when the Sun by motion of the first moveable shall come to the weak point of the South reflowing the Moon by the same motion of the first moveable shall approach or come near as much to the strong point of the reflowing which is under the Horizon in the Night quarter of the reflowing then the Moon shall be nearer to the strong point of the reflowing which is under the Horizon in the Night quarter of the reflowing then the Sun to the strong point of the flowing which is above the Horizon in the day quarter of flowing because the Moon shall be stronger then the Sun And according as the Sun by the motion of the first moveable shall approach to the weak point of the South reflowing the Moon by the same motion of the first moveable shall approach as much to the strong point of the reflowing which is under the Horizon and so the reflowing shall continue untill the Sun come to the weak point of the South reflowing And when the Sun by the motion of the first moveable shall depart from the weak point of the South reflowing and shall be moved by the day quarter of the reflowing approaching to the strong point of the reflowing the Moon by the same motion of the first moveable shall depart as much from the strong point of the reflowing which is under the Horizon in the Night quarter of the reflowing and she shall be also moved by the quarter of the reflowing as the Sun coming to the weak point of the East flowing because the Sun and the Moon are distant between themselves more then by a quarter of Heaven and so both shall be moved by the quarters of reflowing and therefore the reflowing shall continue untill the Sun shall be so much beyond the South towards the West in the day quarter of the reflowing how much the Moon is on this side the South towards the East in the day quarter of flowing And then the Sun shall be so much distant in the strong point of reflowing in the day quarter of flowing departing from it by the motion of the first moveable towards the West how much the Moon is from the strong point of flowing which is above the Horizon in the day quarter of the flowing coming to it and so the Sun and the Moon shall be of equal force and then shall be neither flowing nor reflowing And when the Sun by the motion of the first moveable shall be departed from the strong point of the reflowing which is above the Horizon in the day quarter of the flowing coming to the weak point of the West-flowing the Moon by the same moving of the first moveable shall approach as much to the strong point of flowing which is above the Horizon in the day quarter of the flowing then the Sun to the strong point of the reflowing which is above the Horizon in the day quarter of flowing and then the Moon shall be nearer to the strong point of flowing then the Sun in the strong point of reflowing in the day quarter of reflowing and so the Moon shall be stronger then the Sun and then shall begin the flowing And as the Sun shall continually be departed from the strong point of reflowing so the Moon continually shall approach the strong point of flowing and the flowing shall continue And when the Sun shall come to the weak point of the West flowing the Moon shall yet move by the day quarter of the flowing because the Sun and the Moon are distant one from the other more then by a quarter of the Heaven and then the Moon shall be nearer the strong point of flowing in the quarter of the day flowing then the Sun in the strong point of flowing in the quarter of the day flowing then the Sun to the strong point of the flowing which is under the Horizon in the Night quarter of the flowing and therefore the flowing shall continue And when the Moon shall come to the weak point of the South reflowing the Sun shall pass the weak point of the West flowing approaching to the strong point of the flowing which is under the Horizon in the Night quarter of the flowing and then the Sun shall be nearer the strong point of the flowing which is under the Horizon in the Night quarter of the flowing then the Moon to the stronger point of the reflowing which is above the Horizon in the day quarter of the reflowing and so the Sun shall be stronger then the Moon and therefore the flowing shall continue And when the Sun shall come to the strong point of flowing which is under the Horizon in the Night quarter of the flowing the Moon shall not yet be in the strong point of reflowing which is above the Horizon in the day quarter of reflowing because the Moon is distant from the Sun more then by a quarter of the Heaven and therefore the flowing shall yet continue untill the Sun be so much under the Horizon on the West part in the Night quarter of the flowing how much the Moon is above the Horizon on the same part of the West in the day quarter of the reflowing and then the Sun shall be so much distant from the strong point of the flowing which is under the Horizon in the Night quarter of the flowing coming to the weak point of the Midnight reflowing how much the Moon is from the strong point of reflowing which is above the Horizon in the day quarter of the reflowing coming to it and therefore the Sun and the Moon shall be of equal strength and then shall be neither flowing nor reflowing Afterwards when the Sun by the motion of the first moveable shall be distant from the point of the flowing which is under the Horizon on the West part in the Night quarter of the flowing coming towards the weak point of Midnight reflowing the Moon by the same motion of the first
moveable shall approach much to the strong point of reflowing which is above the Horizon in the day quarter of the reflowing coming to it And so the Moon shall be nearer the strong point of reflowing then the Sun to the strong point of flowing and therefore the flowing shall begin and shall continue in manner as is said untill the Sun be so much beyond Midnight towards the East in the Midnight quarter of reflowing how much the Moon before Midnight towards the West in the Night quarter of flowing and the Sun shall be so much distant â—rom the strong point of reflowing in the Night quarâ—er of reflowing going backward from it towards the â—oresaid weak point of the East flowing how much the Moon is from the point of the strong flowing in the Night quarter of the flowing coming to it and then the Sun and the Moon shall be of equal force and there shall be neither flowing nor reflowing And when the Sun by the motion of the first moveable shall be departed from the strong point of reflowing under the Horizon which is in the Night quarter of reflowing then shall the flowing begin and continue in like manner aforesaid untill the Sun be so much above the Horizon on the East part in the day quarter of flowing how much the Moon is under the Horizon on the same part of the East in the Night quarter of reflowing And because the Sun shall be so much distant from the strong point of flowing which is above the Horizon in the day quarter of flowing coming by the motion of the first moveable towards the weak point of the South reflowing how much the Moon is from the strong point of reflowing which is under the Horizon in the Night quarter of reflowing coming by the same motion of the first moveable towards it they shall be of equal force and so shall be neither flowing nor reflowing And in this manner the flowing and reflowing shall continue in every natural day untill the Moon shall come to her opposition with the Sun And when the Moon shall come to her opposition with the Sun then the Sun shall be in the weak point of the East flowing the Moon shall likewise be in the weak point of the West flowing and then shall the flowing begin and shall continue as long as the Sun shall be moved to the moving of the first moveable from the weak point of the East flowing by the day quarter of the flowing to the weak point of the South reflowing And the Moon then in all this time shall be moved likewise to the moving of the first moveable from the weak point of the West flowing by the Night quarter of flowing to the weak point of the Midnight reflowing and then the flowing shall cease and the reflowing begin and continue as long as the Sun is at the moving of the first moveable and shall be moved from the weak point of the South reflowing by the day quarter of reflowing unto the weak point of the West flowing and the Moon also in all this time shall be moved likewise to the moving of the first moveable from the weak point of the Midnight reflowing by the Night quarter of reflowing unto the weak point of the East flowing and then the reflowing shall cease and the flowing shall begin again and shall continue as long as the Sun shall be moved to the motion of the first moveable from the weak point of the West flowing by the Night quarter of the flowing unto the weak point of Midnight reflowing And then the Moon in all that time by the same moving of the first moveable shall likewise be moved form the weak point of the East flowing by the day quarter of the flowing unto the weak point of the reflowing and then the flowing shall cease and the reflowing begin and shall continue as long as the Sun by the moving of the first moveable shall be moved from the weak point of Midnight reflowing by the Night quarter of the reflowing unto the weak point of the East flowing And then the Sun in all this time by the same motion of the first moveable shall be moved likewise from the weak point of the South reflowing And then the Moon in all this time by the same motion of the first moveable shall be moved likewise from the weak point of the South reflowing by the day quarter of the reflowing unto the weak point of the West flowing and then the reflowing shall cease And when the Moon shall pass her opposition with the Sun by her proper motiong goin to her second quadrature with the Sun then when the Moon shall be so much above the Horizon on the East part in â—he day quarter of flowing how much the Sun is under â—â—e Horizon on the same part of the East in the Night â—uarter of the reflowing because then the Moon shall be so much distant from the strong point of flowing which is above the Horizon in the day quarter of flowâ—ng how much the Sun is from the strong point of reflowing which is under the Horizon in the same part of the East in the Night quarter of reflowing then the Sun and the Moon shall be of equal power and there shall be neither flowing nor reflowing And when the Moon by the motion of the first moveable shall be departed from the strong point of flowing which is about the Horizon in the day quarter of flowâ—ng coming towards the weak point of the South reflowing the Sun by the same motion of the first moveâ—ble shall approach as much to the strong point of reflowing which is under the Horizon in the East part â—n the Night quarter of reflowing then the Moon from the strong point of flowing which is above the Horizon to the South part of the East in the day quarter of flowing and the reflowing shall begin and continue And when the Moon by the motion of the first moveable shall come to the weak point of the South reflowing because the Sun and the Moon are distant from them selves more then by a quarter of the Heaven and then the Moon to the moving of the Moon by the moving of the first moveable shall be moved by the day quarter of reflowing coming to the strong point of reflowing â—in the day quarter of reflowing and so the reflowing shall continue And when the Moon shall approach to the strong point of reflowing in the day quarter of reflowing the Sun shall approach to the weak point of the East slowing in the Night quarter of reflowing and shall be further distant from the strong point of flowing which is above the Horizon in the day quarter of reflowing then the Moon from the strong point of the reflowing which is likewise above the Horizon in the day quarter of reflowing and so the flowing shall continue untill the Moon be so much beyond the South towards the West in the day quarter of the reflowing the Sun before the South
towards the East in the day quarter of flowing and then the Moon shall be so far distant from the strong point of reflowing in the day quarter of reflowing how much the Sun from the strong point of flowing in the day quarter of flowing And so the Sun and the Moon shall be of equal force and there shall be neither flowing nor reflowing And when the Moon by the motion of the first moveable shall approach as much to the strong point of flowing in the day quarter of flowing then because the Sun shall be near to the strong point of flowing in the day quarter of flowing then the Moon in the strong point of reflowing which is in the day quarter of reflowing the flowing shall begin and continue according to the Moon to the moving of the first moveable shall be departed from the strong point of reflowing in the day quarter of reflowing coming towards the weak point of the West flowing and the Sun shall also approach the strong point of the reflowing in the day quarter of the flowing coming to it And when the Moon to the moving of the first moveable shall come to the weak point of the West flowing the Sun yet by the moving of the first moveable shall move by the day quarter of the flowing because the Sun and the Moon are distant one from the other more then by a quarter of Heaven and the Sun shall be more near to the strong point of the flowing in the day quarter of flowing then the Moon to the strong point of reflowing in the day quarter of reflowing and therefore the flowing shall continue And when the Sun shall come to the weak point of the South reflowing the Moon shall be under the Horizon in the West part in the Night quarter of the flowing which is under the Horizon in the Night quarter of the flowing then the Sun to the strong point of the reflowing which is above the Horizon in the day quarter of reflowing and therefore the flowing shall yet continue untill the Moon shall be so much under the Horizon on the West part in the Night quarter of flowing how much the Sun is above the Horizon on the same part of the West in the day quarter of reflowing And then the Moon shall be so much distant from the strong point of flowing under the Horizon in the Night quarter of flowing coming towards the weak point of the Midnight reflowing how much the Sun from the strong point of reflowing is above the Horizon in the day quarter of reflowing coming to it and so the Sun and the Moon shall be of equal strength and then shall be neither flowing nor reflowing And when the Moon by the motion of the first moveable shall be departed from the strong point of reflowing which is under the Horizon on the east part of the Night quarter of reflowing towards the weak point of the East fllowing the Sun by the same moveing of the first Moveable shall approach as much to the strong point of flowing which is under the Horizon on the West part in the Night quarter of flowing comming to it and then because the Moon shall be more distant from the strong point of reflowing then the Sun from the strong point of flowing then shall begin the flowing because the Sun shall be stronger then the Moon And how much more the Moon shall be distant from the strong point of reflowing in the Night quarter of reflowing so much more the Sun shall approach the strong point of flowing in the Night quarter of flowing and so the flowing shall continue And when the Moon shall come to the weak point of the East flowing the Sun shall yet be in the Night quarter of flowing because the Sun is distant from the Moon more then by a quarter of the Heaven and the Sun shall be nearer to the strong point of flowing in the Night quarter of flowing then the Moon to the strong point of reflowing whith is in the Night quarter of reflowing and so the flowing shall continue untill the Moon be so much above the Horizon on the East part And then the Moon shall be so much distant from the strong point of flowing which is above the Horizon in the day quarter of flowing departing from it by the motion of the first Moveable towards the weak point of the South reflowing how much the Sun from the strong point of reflowing which is under the Horizon in the Night quarter of reflowing comming to it by the same motion of the first Moveable And then the Sun and the Moon shall be of equal force and there shall be neither flowing nor reflowing and the first disposition shall return again and such flowing and reflowing shall continue every natural day in this manner untill the Moon shall come to her Quadrature with the Sun And when the Moon shall be in the second Quadrature then the water of the Sea shall neither flow nor reflow but shall seem to be at rest as it was in the first Quadrature in the which in the whole revolution of Heaven the Sun and the Moon were ever of equal strength for the causes declared for the same are the causes of the second Quadrature which are also of the first and is above 21 Dayes And this quietness or stay of the water of the Sea as is said before the Venetians call it Acqua de fele and use this saying Da Vent ' uno a' Venti ' de L' acqua non vane su ne giu from the 21. to 22 the waters goeing neither up nor down And when the Moon by her proper motion shall pass this second Quadrature proceeding to her conjunction with the Sun then the Moon shall be distant stom the Sun less then the fourth part of Heaven then when she shall be distant from the Sun less then fourth part of the fourth part of Heaven And then when she shall â—e so much above the Horizon the East part in the day â—uarter flowing as the Sun under the Horizon on the â—ame part of the East in the Night quarter of reflowâ—st then the Moon shall be so much distant from the â—trong point of flowing which is above the Horizon in the Day quarter of flowing comming to it by the first motion of the first moveable how much the Sun from the stronger point of flowing which is under the Horizon in the Night quarter of reflowing going from it by the same motion of the first moveable toward the weak point of the East flowing And then the Sun and the Moon shall be of equal power and there shall â—e neither flowing nor reflowing And when the Moon by motion of the first Moveable shall come to the strong point of flowing which is above the Horizon in the Day quarter of flowing the Sun by the same motion of the first Moveable shall depart as much from the strong point of reflowing which is under the Horizon in the Night quarter of reflowing
toward the weak point of the East flowing And then because the Moon shall be less distant from the strong point of flowing which is above the Horizon in the Day quarter of flowing then the Sun from the strong point of reflowing the Moon shall be stronger then the Sun and therefore then shall begin the flowing and how much more the Moon shall approach to the strong point of flowing so much more the Sun shall be distant from the strong point of reflowing approaching to the weak point of the East flowing because the Moon shall yet be in the Day quarter of flowing for that she is distant from the Sun less then a fourth part of Heaven she shall be less distant from the strong point of flowing which is above the Horizon in the Day quarter of flowing then the Sun from the strong point of reflowing which is under the Horizon in the Night quarter of reflowing therefore the flowing shall yet continue And when the Moon shall come to the weak point of the South reflowing the Sun shall be above the Horizon in the Day quarter of flowing and shall be nearer the strong point of flowing then the moon to the strong point of reflowing which is above the mid-day or the South in the Day quarter of reflowing because the Sun is distant from the Moon less then the fourth part at Heaven and therefore the flowing shall continue the Moon be so much beyond the South towards the west in the Day quarter of reflowing how much the Sun is before the South towards the East in the Day quarter of flowing and then the Moon shall be so much distant from the strong point of reflowing in the Day quarter of reflowing comming to it by the motion of the first Moveable and so the Sun and the Moon shall be of Equal force and there shall be neither flowing nor reflowing And when the Moon shall by the Motion of the first moveable aproach to the strong point of reflowing in the Day quarter of reflowing the Sun by the same motion of the first Moveable shall go back and depart as much from the strong point of flowing in the Day quarter of flowing and then the Moon shall be nearer to the strong point of reflowing in the Day quarter of reflowing and so the Moon shall be stronger then the Sun and therefore shall begin the reflowing and the flowing and reflowing shall continue in the same manner as is said When the Moon departeth from her Conjunction with the Sun and is not come to her first Quadrature with the Sun as is between the Conjunction and the first Quadrature and when the Moon shall come to her Conjunction with the Sun then again all the dispsition before declared shall return in all points in like manner as is said Therefore this motion of the water of the Sea whereof we have spoken is a motion following the motion of the Sun and Moon to the motion of the first moveable for if you shall well consider that we have said of the flowing and reflowing that is increase and decrease for access and recess of the water of the Sea you shall understand that the beginnings of such flowings and reflowings and likewise the rest and quietness chance diversly in the hours of the Day and of the Night for they come not alwayes in the same houres of the day as is manifestly known to such as observe such flowings and reflowings or else false rest and quietness of the Water of the Sea And therefore by what is written doth appear that the Water of the Sea hath motion of flowing once in the Day and once in the Night and likewise of reflowing once in the Day and once in the Night It is manifest also that the flowing doth not allwayes begin at the same hour of the Day or Night but at divers hours and likewise of the reflowing Also the time of flowing or reflowing proceedeth inordinatly when the Moon is in her Quadratures with the Sun that is in the first or second There chanceth sometimes great increase of Waters sometimes less that is when the Moon shall be in any other place from the Sun besides these four that is in the Conjunction or Opposition or her first Quadrature or second with the Sun And as are sometimes increases of Waters greater or lesser even so are the decreases in the like manner the greatest concourses and Motions of Waters are when the Moon is in Conjunction with the Sun and also the greatest flowings and reflowings Likewise in Opposition of the Moon with the Sun and the greater then in the time of the Conjunction of the Moon with the Sun For the superiour bodyes by their motion and light give their influence to these inferiour bodyes And so much more as they have of Light so much more and stronger they work and because in opposition of the Moon with the Sun the moon is full of Light and her Light is toward us therefore it is reasonable that then should be caused greater flowings and reflowings then in her Conjunction with the Sun Nevertheless because that in her Conjunction with the Sun and Moon are both unite together and their virtues therefore also are great decreasings and increasings of waters because both their Virtues are Unite as I have said but yet greater is the Opposition then in the Conjunction for causes before rehearsed The Moon being in her Quadrature with the Sun the Water of the Sea hath no determinate time of flowing or reflowing and then are the less concourses of Waters and least flowing and reflowing Such motion of the Sea the Venetians as we have said call it de fele and then the Water of the Sea hath no determinate beginning of flowing or reflowing but is moved inordinately in a diverse manner sometimes coming and sometimes going the cause of this diversity is because the Sun and the Moon wheresoever they shall be in moveing to the water equally or as it were unequally have contrariety in whatsoever point they shall be For in whatsoever point the Sun shall be the Moon shall be in the point of opposite Virtue contrary to the place of the Sun or near And when the Moon shall be without the said four places then the Water of the Sea shall begin to come or go And when the Sun and the Moon shall be in equall points of Virtue of the quarters of contrary operation the concourses of Waters shall be so much the greater in how much the Moon shall be nearer to her Conjunction with the Sun or to the Oposition and so much the less in how much the moon shall be nearer to her quadratures likewise the flowings and the reflowings shall be so much the greater for if the Moon shall be between the Conjunction with the Sun and the first Quadrature then the Moon to the moving of the first moveable doth follow the Sun in his rising and then shall be the beginning of the day flowing of the

remembers the curious Dial and Clock at Stransburgh my self have beheld not without Admiration But who would think that mortal hands could mould New Heavens new Stars whose whirling courses should With constant windings through contrary ways Mark the true monds of years and months and days Yet 't is a story that hath oft been heard And by a hundred witnesses averr'd Neither doth he forget the most excellent Silver Sphere matchable with Archimedes or that of the Zapores King of Persia which was sent as a present by the Emperour Ferdinand to Solyman the Great Turk and is mentioned by Paulus Jovius and Sabellicus it was carried as they write by twelve men unframed and reframed in the Grand-Seigniors Presence by the maker who likewise delivered him a Book containing the Mystery of using it Nor may we smoother or forget ingrately The Heaven of Silver that was sent but lately From Ferdinando as a famous Work Unto Byzantium to the greatest Turk Wherein a Spirit still moving to and fro Made all the Engine orderly to go And tho' the one Sphere did always slowly slide and contrary the other swiftly glide Yet still their Stars kept all their courses even With the true courses of the Stars of Heaven The Sun there shifting in the Zodiack His shining houses never did forsake His pointed Path there in a Month his Sister Fulfil'd her course and changing of 't her Lustre And form of Face now larger lesser soon Followed the changes of the other Moon So that which way soever we turn our Eyes we may see that Posterity hath not riotously wasted the Inheritance of Arts and Sciences left them by their Predecessors but have greatly increased the same and invented others for certainly the multitude of things incomprehensible is infinite and so therefore inventions must needs also be infinite and without end like tunes in the Art of Musick And forasmuch as I have made mention of sundry Inventions it shall not be from the purpose to describe the goodly Instrument whereof Angelus Politianus in his fourth Book of Epistles to Franciscus Caso where he writeth in this manner I have received your Epistle wherein you signify to me that you have heard of the strange Engine or Instrument Antomatan invented and made of late by one Lawrence a Florentine in the which is expressed the course and motions of the Planets conformable and agreeable with the motions of Heaven and forasmuch saith he as the report thereof is hardly believed you greatly desire that I should write to you what certain Knowledge I have of that thing wherein I am ready to obey your Request And altho' now it be long since I saw it yet as far as I bear in memory I will briefly express to you the Form Reason and Use thereof And if the Description thereof shall seem to you to be somewhat obscure you shall not ascribe it altogether to my Declaration but partly to the subtlety and Novelty of the thing It is in form of a square Pillar sharp towards the top in the manner of a Pyramidis of height almost three Cubits over and above it in manner of a baner is a flat or plain round of guilded Copper adorned with sundry Colours on whose other part is expressed the whole course of the Planets and whole Dimension or Measure is somewhat shorter then a Cubit and is within turned and moved with certain little Denticle Wheels an immoveable Circle comprehending the highest Border or Margent divided with the spaces of 24 hours within it in the highest turning Roundel the twelve signs are discerned by three Degrees Further within are seen eight Rundels in manner of one greatness of these two obtain the middle point the one fastened in the other so that the lowest being somewhat bigger representeth the Sun and the higher the Moon From the Sun a beam coming to the circle sheweth in it the hours and in the Zodiaâ—k the Months days and number of Degrees and also the true and half Motion of the Sun From the Moon also proceedeth a Pin or â—â—yer which beneath or downward in the Border or Margent of the greatest Rundel sheweth the hours and passing by the Center of the Epicide of the Moon and extending to the Zodiack sheweth the half Motion of his Planet Another also rising from thence and cutting the border of the Center of the Moon that is of the Epicide sheweth her true place whereby are seen the slowness swiftness all Motions and Courses Conjunctions also and full Moons About these are six other Rundels of the which one whom they call the Head and Tail of the Dragon sheweth the Ecclipses both of the Sun and the Moon The other are attributed to the Planets from every one of which proceed two points assigning the Motions as we have said of the Moon but they also go backward which chanceth not in the Moon whose Ecclipse is moved contrariwise And thus the reason of Conjunctions Departings and Latitudes is manifest in all There is also another Border likewise to the Zodiack cutting or dividing upward or above those six little Rundels of the Planets whereby appeareth the Degrees of the East signs and the spaces of the days that is to say at what hour the Sun riseth by the which every one of the Planets are carried in their Rundels or Circles by course in the day-time to the East and in the Night to the West Again contrariwise the greatest Rundel of all draweth with it all the Planets in the Night to the East and in the day to the West in the space of 24 hours All which to agree with the Motions of the Heavens both Reason and Experience do confirm and therefore we ought not to marvel if these things seem incredible to many For as saith the wise Proverb Faith is slowly given to great things for even we scarcely believe our own Eyes when we see such things And therefore whereas in time past I read that such a like Instrument was made by Archimedes my Faith yet failed to give Credit to so great an Author which thing nevertheless this our Florentine hath performed The work doubtless being of such an Excellence that all praise is inferiour to it and cannot otherwise for the worthiness thereof be otherwise praised then to say that it is above all praise insomuch that he may seem a man sent from Heaven where he learnt the
