A60473	Horological disquisitions concerning the nature of time, and the reasons why all days, from noon to noon, are not alike twenty four hours long in which appears the impossibility of a clock's being always kept exactly true to the sun : with tables of equation, and newer and better rules ... how thereby precisely to adjust royal pendulums ... : with a table of pendulums, shewing the beats that any length makes in an hour ... / by John Smith ... ; to which is added The best rules for the ordering and use both of the quick-silver and spirit weather-glasses, and Mr. S.

know_v as_o to_o the_o exactness_n and_o steadiness_n of_o its_o motion_n which_o proceed_v from_o two_o property_n peculiar_a to_o this_o pendulum_n the_o one_o be_v the_o weightiness_n of_o its_o bob_n and_o the_o other_o the_o little_a compass_n in_o which_o it_o play_v the_o first_o of_o these_o make_v it_o less_o apt_a to_o be_v command_v by_o those_o accidental_a difference_n of_o strength_n that_o may_v sometime_o happen_v in_o the_o draught_n of_o the_o wheel_n and_o the_o other_o render_v the_o vibration_n more_o equal_a and_o exact_a as_o not_o be_v capable_a of_o alter_v so_o much_o in_o the_o distance_n of_o its_o swinge_v as_o those_o other_o kind_n of_o pendulum_n be_v who_o fetch_v a_o large_a and_o by_o consequence_n a_o less_o constant_a compass_n for_o pendulum_n that_o swing_v or_o vibrate_v very_o far_o out_o as_o all_o crown-wheel_n pendulum_n do_v be_v apt_a by_o reason_n of_o many_o accident_n that_o happen_v to_o vary_v much_o in_o the_o distance_n they_o swing_v and_o that_o be_v the_o reason_n they_o do_v not_o always_o go_v or_o move_v the_o same_o pace_n a_o large_a vibration_n take_v up_o more_o time_n to_o be_v perform_v in_o than_o lesser_a one_o do_v but_o the_o vibration_n of_o this_o pendulum_n of_o mr._n clement_n contrivance_n be_v so_o very_o exact_a and_o steady_a that_o when_o it_o be_v well_o in_o order_n and_o the_o air_n of_o the_o same_o consistence_n it_o shall_v in_o five_o hundred_o or_o a_o thousand_o revolution_n of_o its_o index_n keep_v so_o equal_a a_o time_n that_o no_o human_a art_n can_v discover_v the_o least_o considerable_a difference_n in_o any_o of_o its_o revolution_n a_o excellence_n to_o which_o no_o other_o know_v motion_n can_v as_o yet_o pretend_v and_o for_o which_o i_o think_v it_o will_v not_o be_v improper_a now_o at_o last_o to_o call_v it_o the_o royal_a pendulum_n but_o although_o the_o motion_n thereof_o be_v so_o very_o curious_o exact_a and_o equal_a yet_o it_o will_v not_o for_o all_o that_o regulate_v the_o motion_n of_o a_o clock_n in_o such_o a_o manner_n as_o that_o the_o index_n or_o hand_n shall_v continual_o agree_v with_o that_o time_n which_o the_o sun_n give_v for_o by_o constant_a experience_n we_o find_v that_o the_o best_a of_o clock_n when_o exact_o adjust_v will_v yet_o be_v find_v in_o some_o considerable_a time_n of_o go_v to_o be_v either_o too_o fast_o or_o too_o flow_v for_o the_o sun_n although_o it_o be_v at_o the_o first_o set_v right_a therewith_o now_o this_o disagreement_n can_v be_v occasion_v by_o any_o defect_n proper_a to_o the_o motion_n of_o the_o pendulum_n each_o twenty_o four_o hour_n of_o which_o when_o well_o rectify_v be_v the_o same_o for_o length_n of_o time_n but_o it_o do_v proceed_v from_o a_o irregularity_n in_o the_o sun_n be_v apparent_a motion_n which_o do_v occasion_n great_a diversity_n in_o the_o length_n of_o natural_a day_n it_o be_v general_o believe_v indeed_o that_o the_o natural_a day_n or_o the_o time_n between_o 12._o and_o 12._o a_o clock_n be_v always_o in_o length_n just_a 24._o hour_n but_o this_o be_v a_o great_a mistake_n for_o it_o will_v appear_v by_o the_o follow_a account_n of_o it_o that_o it_o be_v but_o in_o some_o part_n of_o the_o year_n that_o the_o day_n be_v so_o in_o all_o the_o other_o part_n between_o these_o they_o be_v find_v continual_o to_o differ_v be_v sometime_o above_o 24._o hour_n long_o and_o sometime_o less_o than_o 24._o hour_n and_o though_o the_o difference_n may_v seem_v but_o a_o small_a matter_n to_o some_o the_o great_a excess_n be_v not_o above_o half_a a_o minute_n yet_o if_o these_o seem_o but_o little_a difference_n be_v add_v together_o for_o the_o space_n of_o a_o month_n or_o two_o together_o they_o will_v amount_v to_o a_o very_a considerable_a sum_n of_o time_n now_o to_o make_v the_o reason_n of_o this_o irregular_a length_n of_o day_n as_o plain_a as_o i_o can_v be_v please_v to_o take_v notice_n that_o as_o natural_a day_n be_v that_o space_n of_o time_n in_o which_o the_o sun_n or_o as_o other_o think_v the_o earth_n by_o the_o motion_n of_o those_o orb_n that_o divide_v time_n into_o day_n be_v move_v round_o just_a one_o whole_a diurnal_a revolution_n or_o pass_v from_o the_o meridian_n or_o twelve_o a_o clock_n point_v of_o one_o day_n to_o that_o of_o the_o next_o so_o it_o must_v follow_v that_o all_o such_o natural_a day_n can_v be_v of_o a_o true_a and_o equal_a length_n unlese_v the_o sun_n in_o that_o space_n of_o time_n do_v also_o move_v in_o such_o a_o manner_n in_o his_o annual_a orb_n as_o that_o the_o equinoctial_a may_v be_v always_o divide_v into_o equal_a part_n by_o those_o meridian_n on_o which_o the_o sun_n be_v upon_o each_o particular_a day_n but_o that_o this_o be_v not_o do_v be_v plain_a to_o all_o that_o be_v verse_v in_o astronomy_n and_o right_o understand_v the_o use_n of_o the_o globe_n this_o a_o exact_a table_n of_o the_o sun_n be_v right_a ascension_n do_v demonstrate_v for_o by_o that_o it_o will_v be_v find_v that_o the_o meridian_n sun_n of_o each_o day_n do_v not_o divide_v the_o equinoctial_a into_o equal_a part_n their_o difference_n not_o be_v equal_a but_o more_o on_o some_o day_n than_o they_o be_v on_o other_o and_o these_o their_o difference_n will_v appear_v yet_o more_o plain_a and_o visible_a if_o you_o will_v be_v but_o at_o the_o pain_n to_o compute_v what_o the_o right_a ascension_n amount_v to_o in_o to_o or_o 20_o day_n time_n in_o some_o part_n of_o the_o year_n and_o compare_v that_o with_o those_o of_o the_o like_a number_n of_o day_n in_o some_o other_o part_n so_o also_o if_o on_o the_o globe_n you_o mark_v out_o on_o the_o ecliptic_a 10_o or_o 20_o day_n motion_n of_o the_o sun_n as_o it_o be_v find_v set_v down_o in_o a_o exact_a ephemeris_fw-la or_o almanac_n that_o show_v the_o sun_n be_v true_a place_n and_o pass_v this_o under_o the_o brazen_a meridian_n note_v what_o number_n of_o degree_n on_o the_o equinoctial_a be_v include_v in_o that_o space_n the_o which_o compare_n with_o those_o of_o the_o like_a number_n of_o day_n motion_n in_o some_o other_o part_n of_o the_o ecliptic_a and_o the_o degree_n so_o compare_v will_v be_v find_v to_o differ_v or_o be_v more_o in_o number_n in_o some_o place_n than_o they_o be_v in_o other_o which_o plain_o demonstrate_v the_o thing_n assert_v now_o the_o reason_n of_o these_o difference_n in_o the_o right_a ascension_n and_o by_o consequence_n in_o the_o different_a length_n of_o day_n proceed_v in_o the_o first_o place_n from_o the_o cross_a position_n of_o the_o zodiac_n and_o the_o equinoctial_a which_o on_o globe_n do_v represent_v the_o circle_n of_o the_o sun_n be_v yearly_a and_o daily_a motion_n for_o the_o course_n of_o the_o sun_n be_v daily_a motion_n be_v direct_o from_o east_n to_o west_n and_o the_o circle_n of_o his_o yearly_a motion_n be_v in_o position_n cross-way_n thereunto_o from_o the_o almost_o south_n west_n to_o the_o north_n east_n as_o by_o the_o globe_n be_v apparent_a it_o follow_v that_o the_o right_a ascension_n will_v be_v still_o unequal_a for_o it_o be_v impossible_a that_o the_o sun_n in_o his_o motion_n near_o aries_n and_o libra_n where_o the_o zodiac_n lie_v cross_v the_o equinoctial_a shall_v in_o any_o certain_a number_n of_o day_n make_v the_o same_o number_n of_o degree_n in_o right_a ascension_n as_o he_o will_v do_v near_o the_o two_o tropic_n of_o cancer_n and_o capricorn_n where_o the_o ecliptic_a run_v in_o a_o manner_n parallel_v to_o the_o equinoctial_a circle_n and_o according_o it_o be_v sound_a by_o the_o best_a table_n of_o right_a ascension_n that_o the_o right_a ascension_n belong_v to_o 10_o day_n motion_n of_o the_o sun_n near_o the_o tropic_a of_o capricorn_n amount_v to_o about_o 11_o degree_n 30_o minute_n whereas_o that_o of_o the_o same_o number_n of_o day_n near_o the_o equinoctial_a point_n of_o aries_n or_o libra_n will_v be_v find_v to_o be_v hardly_o 9_o degree_n and_o as_o the_o right_a ascension_n of_o the_o tropic_n differ_v from_o those_o of_o the_o equinoctial_a part_n of_o the_o ecliptic_a so_o the_o right_a ascension_n of_o one_o tropic_n differ_v from_o that_o of_o the_o other_o now_o the_o cause_n of_o this_o differ_v from_o the_o cause_n of_o the_o former_a unequality_n for_o this_o proceed_v from_o the_o excentricity_n of_o the_o centre_n of_o the_o earth_n and_o the_o centre_n of_o the_o sun_n be_v yearly_a orb_n for_o the_o centre_n of_o the_o earth_n on_o which_o we_o live_v not_o be_v the_o same_o with_o the_o centre_n of_o the_o ecliptic_a in_o which_o the_o sun_n move_v but_o distant_a from_o it_o as_o some_o astronomer_n affirm_v about_o 316000_o mile_n it_o follow_v that_o there_o must_v be_v a_o great_a part_n

of_o the_o sun_n orb_n on_o one_o side_n of_o the_o centre_n of_o the_o earth_n than_o there_o be_v on_o the_o other_o for_o which_o reason_n though_o the_o sun_n move_v equal_o each_o day_n in_o the_o circle_n of_o his_o yearly_a course_n yet_o to_o we_o he_o seem_v to_o move_v fast_o in_o some_o part_n thereof_o than_o he_o do_v in_o other_o and_o that_o make_v the_o right_a ascension_n great_a near_o one_o tropic_a than_o they_o be_v near_o the_o other_o and_o according_o by_o the_o table_n of_o the_o sun_n motion_n it_o be_v find_v that_o he_o take_v up_o but_o about_o 179_o day_n in_o pass_v that_o part_n of_o the_o ecliptic_a between_o libra_n and_o aries_n whereas_o between_o the_o two_o point_n of_o aries_n and_o libra_n he_o spend_v above_o 186_o so_o that_o he_o be_v almost_o 7_o day_n more_o in_o pass_v the_o summer_n half_a of_o the_o ecliptic_a than_o he_o be_v in_o pass_v that_o of_o the_o winter_n and_o this_o seem_o swift_a and_o slow_a motion_n of_o the_o sun_n be_v the_o cause_n that_o the_o right_a ascension_n of_o 10_o day_n motion_n near_o the_o winter_n tropic_n be_v 60_o minute_n or_o a_o whole_a degree_n more_o than_o those_o of_o the_o same_o number_n of_o day_n near_o that_o of_o the_o summer_n one_o the_o right_a ascension_n of_o 10_o day_n time_n near_o the_o 2_o equinoctial_a point_n do_v also_o differ_v somewhat_o for_o those_o of_o 10_o day_n time_n near_o aries_n be_v less_o by_o 30_o minute_n than_o those_o near_a libra_n the_o reason_n of_o which_o be_v from_o hence_o in_o that_o the_o sun_n great_a and_o near_a distance_n to_o the_o earth_n happen_v now_o in_o our_o time_n to_o be_v about_o 8_o degree_n and_o something_o more_o from_o the_o tropic_a point_n whereas_o have_v it_o fall_v out_o exact_o in_o the_o 2_o

length_n of_o natural_a day_n will_v plain_o appear_v and_o by_o consequence_n man_n will_v not_o hereafter_o be_v so_o unreasonable_o nice_a and_o curious_a as_o some_o have_v heretofore_o be_v to_o

air_n be_v empty_a of_o light_a vapour_n and_o sometime_o fill_v with_o they_o that_o the_o air_n be_v capable_a of_o contraction_n and_o expansion_n be_v plain_o apparent_a by_o its_o dilate_v with_o heat_n and_o contract_v by_o cold_a in_o the_o bolt-head_n of_o a_o thermoscope_n or_o water_n weatherglass_n now_o if_o the_o air_n be_v contract_v into_o a_o less_o room_n by_o what_o cause_n it_o will_v the_o adjacent_a air_n flow_v in_o to_o make_v good_a the_o level_n of_o the_o atmosphere_n and_o so_o by_o the_o addition_n of_o more_o air_n the_o cylend_a which_o bovy_v up_o the_o mercury_n in_o the_o weatherglass_n become_v heavy_a and_o by_o consequence_n make_v the_o quicksilver_n rise_v and_o though_o in_o summertime_n it_o may_v be_v think_v that_o the_o heat_v we_o feel_v shall_v rather_o expand_v than_o contract_n yet_o in_o this_o we_o may_v be_v deceive_v for_o though_o the_o air_n be_v hot_a just_a at_o the_o earth_n by_o the_o sun_n reflection_n yet_o the_o upper_a region_n be_v still_o as_o cold_a as_o ever_o witness_v the_o snow_n which_o continue_v all_o the_o year_n round_o on_o the_o top_n of_o some_o very_a high_a mountain_n and_o so_o the_o air_n may_v very_o well_o be_v accidental_o contract_v in_o the_o hot_a time_n of_o summer_n as_o well_o as_o in_o the_o cold_a winter_n and_o be_v one_o occasion_n of_o the_o air_n be_v then_o as_o heavy_a in_o dry_a wether_n as_o in_o the_o fair_a time_n of_o winter_n and_o as_o the_o air_n be_v make_v heavy_a by_o contraction_n so_o it_o be_v make_v light_a by_o expansion_n for_o when_o its_o body_n be_v rarify_v from_o what_o cause_n soever_o the_o swell_v thereof_o cause_v the_o high_a part_n to_o flow_v off_o or_o as_o i_o may_v say_v run_v down_o on_o those_o part_n of_o the_o atmosphere_n that_o be_v below_o it_o by_o which_o mean_v the_o cylend_a or_o pillar_n of_o it_o that_o press_v on_o any_o place_n become_v light_a and_o so_o the_o mercury_n in_o the_o baroscope_n be_v suffer_v to_o sink_v down_o or_o descend_v and_o that_o the_o air_n be_v sometime_o full_a of_o watery_a vapour_n and_o sometime_o empty_a be_v another_o and_o the_o chief_a reason_n too_o of_o the_o quicksilver_n rise_v and_o fall_v be_v manifest_a from_o this_o principle_n in_o philosophy_n that_o whatever_o rise_v up_o and_o swim_v in_o any_o medium_fw-la must_v bulk_n for_o bulk_n be_v light_a than_o the_o medium_fw-la by_o which_o it_o be_v sustain_v hence_o it_o follow_v that_o all_o kind_n of_o watery_a vapour_n must_v be_v light_a than_o the_o air_n else_o they_o can_v never_o rise_v up_o therein_o nor_o be_v suspend_v there_o till_o by_o another_o principle_n in_o nature_n they_o be_v make_v to_o descend_v in_o rain_n or_o snow_n now_o if_o water_n thus_o rarefy_v be_v specifical_o light_a than_o air_n then_o it_o be_v plain_a that_o when_o the_o air_n be_v fill_v therewith_o it_o must_v become_v less_o weighty_a than_o it_o be_v before_o as_o a_o glass_n fill_v with_o half_a water_n and_o half_o rectify_v spirit_n of_o wine_n a_o much_o light_a substance_n shall_v not_o weigh_v so_o much_o as_o when_o fill_v with_o all_o water_n so_o the_o air_n be_v always_o light_a in_o wet_a

thereof_o or_o its_o fullness_n of_o watery_a vapour_n be_v always_o proportionable_a to_o the_o lowness_n of_o the_o quicksilver_n and_o every_o degree_n of_o sink_v be_v a_o argument_n of_o the_o

the_o low_a the_o quicksilver_n descend_v the_o more_o listless_a and_o out_o of_o order_n man_n body_n be_v because_o the_o air_n be_v then_o full_a of_o that_o which_o be_v disagreeable_a to_o the_o
