A77649 The description and use of the carpenters-rule: together with the use of the line of numbers (inscribed thereon) in arithmetick and geometry. And the application thereof to the measuring of superficies and solids, gaging of vessels, military orders, interest and annuities: with tables of reduction, &c. : To which is added, the use of a (portable) geometrical sun-dial, with a nocturnal on the backside, for the exact and ready finding the hour of the day and night: and other mathematical conclusions. Also of a universal-dial for the use of seamen or others. With the use of a sliding or glasiers-rule and Mr. White's rule for solid measure. / Collected and fitted to the meanest capacity by J.

quadrat_fw-la as_o on_o a_o quadrant_a you_o may_v then_o move_v the_o pin_n to_o the_o hole_n at_o the_o other_o end_n of_o the_o horizontal_a line_n and_o you_o shall_v see_v that_o defect_n to_o be_v supply_v note_n last_o that_o by_o height_n we_o speak_v only_o of_o perpendicular_a or_o upright_a height_n and_o in_o distance_n only_o of_o level_v or_o horizontal_n prob._n 5._o how_o to_o find_v unaccessable_a height_n by_o the_o quadrat_fw-la at_o two_o observation_n if_o the_o place_n which_o be_v to_o be_v measure_v can_v be_v approach_v unto_o then_o work_v thus_o to_o find_v both_o height_n and_o distance_n first_o make_v choice_n of_o a_o place_n where_o look_v up_o i_o find_v the_o thread_n to_o fall_v on_o 50_o in_o the_o quadrat_fw-la than_o the_o distance_n will_v be_v equal_a to_o the_o height_n then_o make_v a_o mark_n at_o that_o station_n and_o go_v direct_o backward_o in_o a_o right_a line_n with_o the_o former_a distance_n and_o make_v choice_n of_o a_o second_o station_n where_o the_o thread_n may_v fall_v on_o 25_o part_n of_o right_a shadow_n than_o this_o second_o station_n be_v double_a to_o the_o height_n and_o also_o to_o the_o distance_n depart_v from_o the_o first_o station_n and_o the_o half_a therefore_o be_v the_o height_n and_o first_o distance_n but_o if_o it_o be_v so_o you_o can_v come_v to_o take_v such_o a_o height_n as_o 50_o and_o 25_o then_o take_v as_o you_o may_v as_o suppose_v one_o be_v at_o 25_o and_o the_o other_o at_o 20_o and_o suppose_v the_o height_n to_o be_v 100_o i_o find_v that_o as_o 25_o the_o part_n cut_v be_v to_o 50_o the_o side_n of_o the_o quadrat_fw-la so_o be_v 100_o the_o suppose_a height_n unto_o 200_o the_o distance_n and_o as_o 20_o the_o second_o station_n to_o 50_o the_o side_n of_o the_o quadrat_fw-la so_o be_v 100_o the_o suppose_a height_n unto_o 250_o the_o second_o distance_n wherefore_o the_o difference_n between_o the_o station_n shall_v seem_v to_o be_v 50_o then_o if_o in_o measure_v you_o find_v it_o to_o be_v either_o more_o or_o less_o than_o this_o proportion_n do_v hold_v as_o from_o the_o suppose_a difference_n to_o the_o measure_a difference_n so_o from_o the_o suppose_a height_n to_o the_o true_a height_n and_o from_o the_o suppose_a distance_n to_o the_o true_a distance_n and_o now_o suppose_v the_o difference_n between_o the_o two_o station_n be_v find_v to_o be_v 30_o by_o measure_v then_o as_o 50_o the_o suppose_a difference_n to_o 30_o the_o true_a difference_n so_o be_v 100_o the_o suppose_a height_n to_o 60_o the_o true_a height_n and_o 200_o the_o suppose_a distance_n to_o 120_o the_o true_a and_o 250_o at_o the_o second_o station_n unto_o 150_o the_o distance_n the_o like_a reason_n hold_v in_o all_o other_o example_n of_o this_o kind_n and_o if_o a_o index_n with_o sight_n be_v fit_v to_o the_o centre_n it_o may_v serve_v for_o all_o other_o horizontal_a distance_n by_o the_o same_o reason_n the_o use_n of_o the_o almanac_n prob._n 6._o have_v the_o day_n of_o the_o week_n to_o find_v the_o day_n of_o the_o month_n for_o ever_o first_o find_v what_o day_n of_o the_o week_n the_o first_o of_o january_n be_v on_o which_o be_v thus_o do_v first_o find_v the_o dominical_a letter_n for_o the_o last_o leap-year_n set_v down_o in_o the_o almanac_n the_o next_o letter_n be_v for_o the_o next_o year_n follow_v and_o so_o till_o you_o come_v to_o the_o year_n you_o look_v for_o and_o note_v every_o leap-year_n have_v two_o dominical_a letter_n viz._n the_o next_o before_o it_o till_o the_o 24_o of_o february_n and_o that_o over_o it_o for_o the_o remainder_n of_o the_o year_n have_v find_v it_o reckon_v from_o a_o either_o backward_o or_o forward_o always_o call_v a_o sunday_n you_o shall_v find_v what_o day_n be_v the_o first_o of_o january_n example_n for_o the_o year_n 1656_o f_o be_v the_o dominical_a letter_n therefore_o say_v a_o sunday_n g_z monday_n f_o tuesday_n and_o that_o be_v the_o first_o of_o january_n and_o then_o make_v use_n of_o that_o thus_o on_o the_o first_o tuesday_n in_o the_o begin_n of_o february_n i_o will_v know_v the_o day_n of_o the_o month_n among_o the_o month_n look_v for_o 12_o which_o be_v for_o february_n reckon_v from_o march_n which_o be_v always_o the_o first_o month_n and_o right_o under_o ●●_o you_o have_v 5_o for_o the_o five_o day_n be_v the_o first_o tuesday_n in_o february_n and_o 12_o 19_o 26_o for_o the_o other_o tuesday_n in_o february_n but_o now_o for_o the_o other_o month_n after_o march_n you_o must_v say_v wednesday_n the_o reason_n be_v because_o february_n have_v 29_o day_n and_o the_o leap-year_n two_o dominical_a letter_n viz._n f._n and_o e._n then_o reckon_v from_o e_o to_o a_o and_o it_o fall_v on_o wednesday_n which_o use_v thus_o in_o the_o year_n 1656_o and_o all_o other_o leapyear_n as_o in_o the_o begin_n of_o august_n on_o thursday_n what_o day_n of_o the_o month_n be_v it_o august_n be_v the_o six_o month_n look_v for_o 6_o among_o the_o month_n and_o right_a under_o it_o you_o have_v 6_o which_o be_v wednesday_n therefore_o 7_o be_v thursday_n and_o the_o first_o thursday_n in_o august_n but_o now_o for_o 1657._o i_o find_v that_o thursday_n be_v the_o first_o of_o january_n say_v thus_o a_o sunday_n b_o saturday_n c_z friday_n d_o thursday_n and_o so_o it_o be_v all_o the_o year_n long_o in_o all_o the_o month_n for_o have_v find_v the_o month_n all_o the_o day_n right_a under_o be_v thursdays_n and_o then_o reckon_v onward_o or_o backward_o for_o any_o other_o of_o the_o weekday_n and_o you_o have_v your_o desire_n for_o any_o yearpa_v present_a or_o to_o come_v prob._n 7._o to_o find_v the_o epact_n and_o by_o that_o the_o moon_n age_n any_o day_n of_o the_o month._n on_o the_o leap-year_n you_o have_v it_o set_v down_o in_o the_o almanac_n for_o the_o next_o year_n add_v 11._o and_o you_o have_v your_o desire_n and_o for_o the_o next_o year_n add_v 11_o to_o that_o and_o so_o to_o the_o next_o leapyear_n but_o if_o by_o so_o add_v it_o exceed_v 30_o then_o take_v away_o 30_o and_o the_o remain_n be_v the_o epact_n have_v the_o epact_n add_v to_o it_o the_o day_n of_o the_o month_n and_o the_o number_n of_o the_o month_n from_o march_n also_o include_v both_o the_o month_n and_o if_o they_o come_v not_o to_o 30_o that_o be_v the_o moon_n age_n but_o if_o they_o exceed_v 30_o and_o the_o month_n have_v 31_o day_n then_o subtract_v 30_o and_o the_o remain_n be_v the_o age_n but_o if_o the_o month_n have_v but_o 30_o day_n then_o subtract_v but_o 29_o and_o the_o remainder_n be_v the_o age_n of_o the_o moon_n require_v example_n in_o july_n 1656._o on_o the_o 20_o day_n the_o epact_n be_v 14._o then_o 14.20_o and_o 5_o add_v be_v 39_o from_o which_o

month_n by_o the_o almanac_n you_o must_v find_v the_o mark_n or_o the_o space_n between_o two_o mark_n in_o the_o calendar_n represent_v that_o day_n which_o do_v thus_o look_v for_o the_o first_o letter_n or_o name_n of_o the_o month_n in_o the_o calendar_n according_a to_o the_o time_n of_o the_o year_n then_o reckon_v from_o thence_o to_o the_o day_n you_o be_v in_o either_o by_o 5_o 10_o 15_o 20_o 25_o 30_o 31_o if_o the_o part_n be_v so_o divide_v as_o in_o small_a instrument_n they_o can_v well_o be_v more_o but_o if_o you_o have_v single_a day_n every_o five_o and_o ten_o be_v know_v from_o the_o rest_n by_o a_o long_a stroke_n and_o the_o last_o day_n by_o the_o long_a stroke_n well_o have_v find_v the_o day_n or_o the_o place_n between_o two_o stroke_n represent_v it_o lay_v a_o thread_n from_o the_o centre_n over_o that_o day_n or_o for_o want_v of_o a_o thread_n stick_v a_o ●in_a in_o the_o centre_n and_o cause_v the_o shadow_n to_o fall_v upon_o the_o day_n and_o
