A44907 An explication of the diall sett up in the Kings garden at London, an. 1669 in which very many sorts of dyalls are conteined : by which, besides the houres of all kinds diversly expressed, many things also belonging to geography, astrology, and astronomy, are by the sunnes shadow made visible to the eye, amongst which very many dialls, especially the most curious, are new inventions, hitherto divulged by none : all these particulars are shortly, yet clearly sett forth for the common good / by the Reverend Father Francis Hall, otherwise Line, of the Society of Jesus, professor of mathematicks. Line, Francis, 1595-1675. 1673 (1673) Wing H332; ESTC R15838 22,782 42

now_o the_o reason_n why_o by_o those_o little_a picture_n of_o the_o sun_n see_v both_o under_o the_o same_o hour-circle_n or_o parallel_v to_o it_o you_o find_v the_o hour_n be_v that_o those_o

follow_v by_o the_o rule_n of_o reflection_n that_o those_o two_o picture_n of_o the_o sun_n be_v both_o see_v in_o the_o same_o plain_n in_o which_o be_v also_o the_o eye_n which_o see_v and_o the_o sun_n which_o be_v see_v wherefore_o since_o the_o sun_n be_v always_o in_o the_o plain_n of_o the_o true_a hour-circle_n it_o necessary_o follow_v that_o the_o eye_n behold_v both_o those_o picture_n at_o the_o true_a hour_n for_o although_o one_o reflection_n can_v sufficien_o determine_v the_o eye_n to_o behold_v the_o sun_n in_o the_o true_a hour-circle_n yet_o two_o reflection_n suffice_v
