A08349 A mathematicall apendix,[sic] containing many propositions and conclusions mathematicall: with necessary obseruations both for mariners at sea, and for cherographers and surueyors of land; together with an easie perspectiue mechanicall way, to deline at sunne dyalls vpon any wall or plane giuen, be it direct, inclyning, declyning, or reclyning, for the horizon, or meridian, in any region or place of knovvne latitude. With other things pleasant and profitable for the weale publick, not heretofore extant in our vulgar: partly collected out of foreigne moderne writers, and partlie inuented and practised by the author.

they_o can_v practise_v to_o launch_v it_o into_o the_o water_n archimedes_n that_o excellent_a mathematician_n cause_v this_o engine_n to_o be_v frame_v whereby_o the_o king_n himself_o do_v with_o one_o hand_n lift_v up_o the_o say_a mighty_a vessel_n from_o the_o earth_n and_o set_v it_o into_o the_o sea_n which_o although_o many_o aswell_o historiographer_n as_o other_o have_v in_o their_o

the_o first_o screw_n must_v have_v a_o handle_n to_o turn_v about_o like_o the_o handle_n of_o a_o handmyll_n or_o grind_v stone_n and_o so_o fit_v as_o be_v turn_v round_o it_o may_v also_o turn_v the_o first_o wheel_n by_o mean_n of_o the_o oblique_a swell_n of_o the_o same_o screw_n fall_v between_o the_o tooth_n or_o clog_n of_o the_o say_v first_o wheel_n which_o tooth_n must_v be_v so_o
