the_o 28_o of_o march_n be_v so_o near_o the_o vernal_a aequinox_n that_o it_o may_v be_v style_v the_o aequinoxial_a term_n and_o may_v be_v think_v the_o beginning_n of_o a_o solar_a astronomical_a year_n it_o be_v not_o possible_a to_o reconcile_v together_o the_o rule_n of_o divers_a section_n which_o speak_v of_o the_o number_n of_o the_o year_n elapse_v from_o the_o epocha_n under_o the_o name_n of_o aera_fw-la without_o suppose_v divers_a sort_n of_o indian_a year_n the_o aera_fw-la be_v speak_v of_o in_o the_o i._o section_n where_o we_o have_v say_v that_o the_o aera_fw-la be_v the_o number_n of_o the_o year_n elapse_v from_o the_o astronomical_a epocha_n in_o the_o same_o section_n it_o be_v resolve_v into_o solar_n and_o lunar_a month_n and_o in_o the_o 2_o section_n the_o lunar_a month_n be_v resolve_v into_o artificial_a day_n of_o 30_o for_o every_o lunar_a month_n and_o into_o natural_a day_n such_o as_o be_v of_o common_a use_n the_o aera_fw-la be_v likewise_o speak_v of_o in_o the_o iv_o section_n wherein_o it_o appear_v that_o it_o be_v compose_v of_o a_o number_n of_o those_o very_a day_n which_o be_v find_v in_o the_o ii_o section_n so_o that_o it_o will_v seem_v at_o first_o that_o this_o be_v the_o synthesis_n of_o the_o same_o aera_fw-la the_o analysis_n of_o which_o be_v make_v in_o the_o i._o and_o ii_o section_n but_o have_v calculate_v by_o the_o rule_n of_o the_o i._o and_o ii_o section_n and_o by_o the_o supplement_n of_o which_o we_o shall_v speak_v the_o number_n of_o the_o day_n that_o ought_v to_o be_v in_o 800_o year_n which_o number_n in_o the_o iv_o section_n be_v suppose_v to_o be_v 292207_o we_o have_v there_o find_v only_o the_o number_n of_o 292197_o day_n 8_o hour_n and_o 27_o minute_n which_o be_v less_o by_o 9_o day_n 15_o hour_n 33_o minute_n than_o that_o of_o 292207_o day_n which_o be_v suppose_v in_o the_o iv_o section_n aught_o to_o be_v find_v in_o that_o very_a number_n of_o year_n this_o difference_n be_v great_a than_o that_o which_o be_v find_v between_o 800_o julian_n year_n which_o consist_v of_o 292200_o day_n and_o 800_o gregorian_a year_n which_o consist_v only_o of_o 292194_o day_n the_o difference_n of_o which_o be_v 6_o day_n and_o in_o 800_o of_o these_o year_n which_o result_n from_o the_o rule_n of_o the_o two_o first_o section_n there_o be_v a_o surplusage_n above_o the_o gregorian_a year_n of_o 13_o day_n 8_o hour_n 24_o minute_n whereas_o 800_o year_n of_o the_o iv_o section_n do_v 7_o day_n exceed_v 800_o julian_n year_n and_o 13_o day_n the_o like_a number_n of_o gregorian_n as_o the_o gregorian_a be_v a_o tropical_a year_n which_o consist_v in_o the_o time_n that_o the_o sun_n employ_v in_o return_v to_o the_o same_o degree_n of_o the_o zodiac_n which_o degree_n be_v always_o equal_o distant_a from_o the_o point_n of_o the_o aequinox_n and_o solstice_n there_o be_v no_o doubt_n that_o the_o year_n draw_v from_o the_o rule_n of_o the_o i._o and_o ii_o section_n do_v near_a approach_v the_o tropic_a than_o the_o year_n draw_v from_o the_o rule_n of_o the_o iv_o section_n which_o as_o we_o have_v remark_v approach_v the_o astral_a year_n determine_v by_o the_o return_n of_o the_o sun_n to_o a_o fix_a star_n and_o the_o anomalistick_a determine_v by_o the_o sun_n return_n to_o its_o apogaeum_n which_o several_a ancient_a and_o modern_a astronomer_n distinguish_v not_o from_o the_o astral_a no_o more_o than_o the_o indian_n suppose_v that_o the_o sun_n be_v apogaeum_n be_v fix_v among_o the_o fix_a star_n though_o most_o of_o the_o modern_n do_v attribute_v a_o little_a motion_n to_o it_o nevertheless_o it_o appear_v that_o the_o indian_n make_v use_n of_o the_o solar_a year_n of_o the_o iv_o section_n as_o we_o make_v use_v of_o the_o tropic_a when_o according_a to_o the_o rule_n of_o the_o vii_o viii_o x_o and_o xi_o section_n they_o calculate_v the_o place_n of_o the_o sun_n and_o his_o apogaeum_n and_o of_o the_o moon_n and_o her_o apogaeum_n for_o the_o time_n elapse_v from_o the_o end_n of_o this_o year_n call_v krommethiapponne_v serve_v they_o to_o find_v the_o sign_n degree_n and_o minute_n of_o the_o middle_a motion_n of_o the_o sun_n they_o suppose_v then_o that_o this_o year_n consist_v in_o the_o sun_n return_n to_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o sign_n of_o the_o zodiac_n like_o our_o tropical_a year_n it_o be_v true_a that_o at_o present_a the_o sign_n of_o the_o zodiac_n be_v take_v among_o we_o in_o two_o way_n which_o be_v not_o former_o distinguish_v when_o the_o ancient_n have_v observe_v the_o tract_n of_o the_o sun_n motion_n through_o the_o zodiac_n which_o they_o have_v divide_v into_o four_o equal_a part_n by_o the_o point_n of_o the_o aequinox_n and_o solstice_n and_o that_o they_o have_v subdivide_v every_o four_o part_n into_o three_o equal_a part_n which_o in_o all_o do_v make_v the_o 12_o sign_n they_o observe_v the_o constellation_n form_v of_o a_o great_a number_n of_o fix_a star_n which_o fall_v in_o every_o one_o of_o these_o sign_n and_o they_o give_v to_o the_o sign_n the_o name_n of_o the_o constellation_n which_o be_v there_o find_v not_o suppose_v then_o that_o the_o same_o fix_a star_n will_v ever_o quit_v their_o sign_n but_o in_o the_o succession_n of_o age_n it_o be_v find_v that_o the_o same_o fix_a star_n be_v no_o more_o in_o the_o same_o degree_n of_o the_o sign_n whether_o that_o the_o star_n be_v advance_v towards_o the_o east_n in_o regard_n of_o the_o point_n of_o the_o aequinox_n and_o solstice_n or_o that_o these_o very_a point_n be_v remove_v from_o the_o same_o fix_a star_n towards_o the_o west_n and_o it_o be_v now_o find_v that_o a_o fix_a star_n pass_v from_o the_o begin_n of_o one_o sign_n to_o the_o begin_n of_o another_o in_o about_o 2200_o year_n therefore_o see_v that_o ptolemy_n in_o the_o second_o age_n of_o jesus_n christ_n confirm_v this_o as_o yet_o doubtful_a discovery_n which_o have_v be_v make_v three_o age_n before_o by_o hipparchus_n there_o be_v a_o distinction_n make_v between_o the_o zodiac_n which_o may_v be_v call_v local_a which_o begin_v from_o the_o aequinoxial_a point_n of_o the_o spring_n and_o be_v divide_v into_o 12_o sign_n and_o the_o astral_a zodiac_n compose_v of_o 12_o constellation_n which_o do_v still_o retain_v the_o same_o name_n though_o at_o present_a the_o constellation_n of_o aries_n have_v pass_v into_o the_o sign_n of_o taurus_n and_o that_o the_o same_o thing_n have_v happen_v to_o the_o other_o constellation_n which_o have_v pass_v into_o the_o follow_a sign_n yet_o the_o astronomer_n do_v ordinary_o refer_v the_o place_n and_o motion_n of_o the_o planet_n to_o the_o local_a zodiac_n because_o it_o be_v important_a to_o know_v how_o they_o refer_v to_o the_o aequinox_n and_o solstice_n on_o which_o depend_v their_o distance_n from_o the_o aequinoxial_a and_o pole_n the_o various_a magnitude_n of_o the_o day_n and_o night_n the_o diversity_n of_o the_o season_n and_o some_o other_o circumstance_n the_o knowledge_n of_o which_o be_v of_o great_a use_n copernicus_n be_v almost_o the_o sole_a person_n among_o our_o astronomer_n who_o refer_v the_o place_n and_o motion_n of_o the_o planet_n to_o the_o astral_a zodiac_n by_o reason_n that_o he_o suppose_v that_o the_o fix_a star_n be_v immovable_a and_o that_o the_o anticipation_n of_o the_o aequinox_n and_o solstice_n be_v only_o a_o appearance_n cause_v by_o a_o certain_a motion_n of_o the_o axis_n of_o the_o earth_n but_o they_o who_o follow_v his_o hypothesis_n cease_v not_o to_o denote_v the_o place_n of_o the_o planet_n in_o regard_n of_o the_o point_n of_o the_o aequinox_n in_o the_o local_a zodiac_n by_o reason_n of_o the_o consequence_n of_o this_o situation_n which_o we_o have_v remark_v it_o will_v be_v a_o admirable_a thing_n that_o the_o indian_n who_o follow_v the_o dogmata_fw-la of_o the_o pythagoraean_n shall_v herein_o conform_v to_o the_o method_n of_o copernicus_n who_o be_v the_o restorer_n of_o the_o hypothesis_n of_o the_o pythagoraean_n yet_o there_o be_v no_o appearance_n that_o they_o design_v to_o refer_v the_o place_n of_o the_o planet_n rather_o to_o any_o fix_a star_n than_o to_o the_o aequinoxial_a point_n of_o the_o spring_n for_o it_o seem_v that_o they_o will_v have_v choose_v for_o this_o purpose_n some_o principal_a fix_a star_n as_o copernicus_n have_v do_v who_o for_o the_o principle_n of_o his_o zodiac_n have_v choose_v the_o point_n to_o which_o refer_v the_o longitude_n of_o the_o first_o star_n of_o aries_n which_o be_v find_v in_o the_o first_o degree_n of_o aries_n where_o be_v the_o aequinoxial_a point_n of_o the_o spring_n when_o the_o astronomer_n begin_v to_o place_v the_o fix_a star_n in_o regard_n of_o the_o point_n of_o the_o aequinox_n and_o solstice_n but_o at_o
