and 360 of these degrees is round the Earth or Globe as is supposed This North Pole is elevated above our dwelling about 52 degrees 30 Minutes Therefore a man may travel until the South Pole seem to be over his head So being these two Stars are as fixed they are of great help to those that go over the Sea together with the help of a needle placed in the Sea-man's Compass which needle turning upon a point will not be still until it points at one end to the Iron-Mines in the North because of its being touched by a Load-stone that draws always towards the North and the place to which they are travelling to if it bears South or S.S.W. the Compass will shew The height of the Pole in degrees and Minutes are taken by a Quadrant like this Figure following on which Lines may be drawn to find the hour of the day I have only placed the 12 hours ' and by this Table following you may place the rest A Table for the Latitude of 52 Degrees for the Quadrant Hours D.

Hearbs may be planted any time in Summer if it be a rainy time Of Mans Eye The Muscles of a mans Eye are six which gives the motion with the Optick Nerves ascending to the brain In the Eye there are three humours as 1. Watry 2. Glassy 3. Christalline First The Christalline humour is the sight in the middle of a pretty hard substance Second The Glassy humour is seen behind like melten Glass softer than the Chrystalline and is five times bigger and twice as big as the Watry humour it nourisheth the Christalline Third The Watry humour is behind the last and thin for it is sometimes consumed in Diseases and lost with wounds in the Eye The Christalline is nourished of the most lightful part of Seed The Hairs of the Eye-lid being lost the Party cannot see things afar off Those whose Ears stand out hear the best and some are dull of hearing by lying hard upon their Ears and also by Nurses binding them A tickling noise in the Ears denotes a thin humour A stiff humour often hindereth the hearing then they want cleansing with a Syringe the way you may find in this Book To break an Impostume in the Ear. Tie a thread to a piece of an Onion and prick it full of holes when it is broke cleanse it with Basilicon with Lint For a blew or gray Web in the Eye Take Thunderbolt Stone one part and as much Ginger and half as much as one of these of Allum and a little Loaf Sugar For a white Web put in Salt for a Horse put to it Turmerack and make it like Salve with butter and put in a Pill twice a day into the end of his Eye or when his Eyes are thick with humours For the Pearl or Web in the Eye Take the juice or the distilled water of the hearbs Mouse-ear and half Moon Grass it may be made milder with Eye bright water or Sugar drop into the Eye a little twice a day for two Months if need be Another Take the Juice of Celandine Ground Ivy and field Dasy or let these be distilled in May c. After the smart is over the Eye being drest with Pouders wash them with Eye bright water mixt with snow water But if you cannot get these waters then boil the juice of Houseleek in an Egg shell with the white Eyes that are clogged with humours or filthy flesh Put into them three Lice and lay on a Plaister of the white of an Egg beaten with Honey upon Flax all night Or every night put in a Seed or two of wild Clary and lay to the wrests Plaisters of Burgundy Pitch and also to back of the Neck and Temple patches of the same and read in no book quickly after Meat Sunshine the heat of Fire or smoak not good for weak Eyes except the Smoak of Tobacco Stifness of the Eye-lids Anoint them at night with Deer Suet. Bloodshot Eyes and black bruises Boil Hysop and Wormwood together and lay it on or bruise them together Eye-Salve or Ointment of Tutty It cools and dries up salt and hot humours that flow into the Eys from the heat of the brain the Eye lids only being anointed at nights Is thus made Take Tutty prepared 2 ounces Lapis Calaminaris 1 ounce being in fine powder make it up with 1 pound and an half of the Ointment of Roses Now to prepare the Lapis Calaminaris quench it six times in Plantane or Rose water with this water wash the Tutty and let the Durt run through a Cloath and make each into Balls for use And to make the Ointment of Roses take fresh Hogs Grease cleansed one l. fresh red Roses Buds half a pound juice of the same three-ounces on a gentle fire make it into an Ointment If Dimness of Sight come from the brain Take a spoonful of blew Sows called Wood-lice wash them and stamp them and let them lie all night in Ale strain it and drink the Ale in the morning take the same quantity till thou art well Physick for the Poor Or an universal Medicine to be taken about the quantity of a Pease in a Pill or Powder drinking a draught of strong drink after it at going to Bed for one man or Woman but less for Children It purges by Sweat and Urine causes ease in sleep and sickness it cures Agues by getting into a sweat by one of them half an hour before the fit is expected to come I need not write but little of it's Commendation it being so well known by the name of Matthews his Pill which if rightly prepared is an excellent thing I had it from one of my Uncles who was a Chymist who said he had it of a Servant of the said Matthews and therefore I commend it to all who are able and well inclined to do their poor Neighbours good when in sickness and may dwell far from an honest Physician Take of the best white Tartar or Lees of Wine and Salt-Peter of each one pound make them together into fine pouder and put them in a well glassed pot that 's upon hot Coals stir them in the pot with a red hot Iron until they have done flaming let it cool by degrees and take it out and beat it into fine pouder and put it into a wide mouth Glass with one pint of the best oil of Turpentine stir it in the Glass once or twice a day pretty much for two or three weeks the longer the better and set it in a Seller to moisten the Pill when need is Then take of Corn poppy heads before they open but white Garden Poppy is the best a good quantity beat them and strain the juice into a well glassed Platter and let it stand in the Sun till it is as hard as wax Take of this and Juniper berries and Liquorish of each one ounce and black Hellebore and Saffron a quarter of an ounce but instead of Poppy juice you may take as much Opium make these into as fine pouder as you can and in a Mortar with the aforesaid mixture work them like Dough for Bread then knead it hard into a wide mouth Glass and cover it with a Bladder and it will keep many years Here may be Doses for about one thousand times for little more than two shillings charge which an able and charitable Neighbour will not grudge to have in store at all times for themselves and the Poor near them But if you are willing to make it of very great vertue then add to it of the best Chymical oil of Juniper Berries and of Sulphur of Antimony of each one ounce which may cost if rightly prepared about ten shillings I have made this Pill about twenty years Put a little of this Pill into an aching Tooth A Purge for a Country-man Take Grunsel Mallow the hearb Mercury Endive and Succory and Red dock Roots of each about a quarter of a handful Fennel seed a little spoonful and a little Ginger boil them in almost a quart of

A B C divide the Line A C into four equal parts and set three of the parts from Z to K and draw the doted Line K Z which suppose to be 18 and the whole 36. Secondly Multiply the half of the arch Line 18 by 14 the doted Line A to X the Center as if it had been half a Circle and it gives 252 Inches How to find a true square Draw a Line at Pleasure and divide it in the middle and set one Foot of the Compasses at one end and make a mark and cross it at the other end and from the cross draw a Line to the middle of the first Line Example To lay down upon paper an Angle containing any number of Degrees and Minutes by the Line of Chords Line of Chords The Line of equal parts for platting of Ground The Line of equal parts is of great use in taking the plat of a Close in Paper The Line of Chords is of use for to take the height of a stile in making o● Sun-Dials c somewhat there of in this Book Example Draw a Line at pleasure as A B from the point A let it be required to make an Angle of 40 Degrees 20 Minutes First Extend the Compasses upon the Line of Chords from the beginning thereof to 60 Degrees always and with that extent set one foot upon the point A and with the other describe the doted Line D C then with the Compasses take 40 Degrees 20 Minutes which is the quantity of the desired Angle Example To take the plot of a Close by the Line of equal parts Measure the length of one hedge in Chains and Links or Poles and the tenth part of a Pole and for every pole take one part from the Line and the tenth part and draw the length on Paper do so with the next hedge and to know how to set these two hedges in their right place make an Angle like the Figure following do so with the other part of the Close Measure this to find the Angle Two places only differing in Latitutde to find their distance First If the two places do differ only in Latitude and lye both of them on one side of the Equinoctial in which the Sun is in when the days and nights are equal you must substract the lesser Latitude from the greater and the remainder is the distance required Or Secondly But if the two places propounded lie the one on the Northside the Equinoctial and the other on the Southside then you are to add the two Latitudes together and the Sum will give their distance in Degrees and Minutes the which reduce into Miles allowing 60 Minutes for 60 Miles The Latitude of places is known by a Table in some Almanacks Of Reduction l. multiplied by 20 are s. s. multiplied by 12 are d. d. multiplied by 4 are q. Of Division q. divided by 4 are d. d. divided by 12 are s. s. divided by 20 are l. Example In 896 l. how many shillings pence and farthings Proof In 860160 farthings how many pence shillings and pounds Pounds multiplied by 3 are Nobles and the Nobles divided by 2 are Marks Pounds multiplied by 4 are Crowns Pound weights divided by 112 are Hundreds Ounces divided by 16 are pounds Inches divided by 12 are Feet Minutes divided by 60 are hours So minding the parts you may reduce all sorts of measures or weights backward and forward c. Of Division To divide 576 pounds amongst 4 men set it in this manner BEgin thus saying how many times 4 can I have in 5. one time but if I could not have taken 5 or the figure in that place out of the figure above then it should be set a place further as under the 7 then set one in the Quotient or crooked line and say 1 time 4 is 4 take 4 from 5 and there rests 1 set one over the 5 and cancel the 4 and the 5 and the work stands thus Now the divisor 4 must be removed a place further that is under the 7 then say how many times 4 can I have in 17 the figures above 4. I can have 4 times then set 4 in the Quotient and say 4 times 4 is 16 take 16 from 17 and there rests 1 set the one over the 17 and cancel the 17 and the work stands thus Lastly there is one place more to set your Divisor 4 that is under 6 saying how many times 4 can I have in 16 just 4 times set 4 in the Quotient and say 4 times 4 is 16 take 16 from 16 and there remains nothing and the work is done and stands thus By this Rule you may divide any number by one Figure but to divide by 2 3 or 4 Figures is harder I will give you one example by which the ingenious may by the practice of the Pen find out the rest Example Divide 288 l. amongst 16 men set it down thus Saying how many times 1 in two once If I say twice then I cannot take twice 6 out of 8 then set one in the Quotient and say 1 time 1 is 1 take 1 from 2 and there rests 1 set 1 over the 2 and cancel the 2 then one time 6 is 6 take 6 from 8 and there remains 2 set 2 over the 8 and cancel the 8 and 1 and 6 and the work will stand thus Then remove the divisor 16 and say how many times 1 in 12 I say 8 times but if I had said 9 times I could not have taken 9 times 6 out of 38 therefore set 8 in the Quotient saying 8 times 1 is 8 take 8 from 12 and there rests 4 set 4 over the 12 and cancel the 12. Lastly say 8 times 6 is 48 take 48 from 48 and there remains none or 8 from 8 and 4 from 4 and the work is done and stands thus Note that whereas you were to take 48 out of the Figures above suppose you had been to have taken 48 out of 56 above you might borrow 10 to put to the 6 as in Substraction paying it as one in the next figure or figures to the Left hand as thus from 56 take 48 rests 08 To prove a Division Sum. Multiply the Quotient by the Divisor and the Product is the same with the dividend if it be right adding thereto the remainder if any be Example To divide any number by 10 100 1000 c. Cut off so many Figures from the Right hand of your dividend as there are Ciphers in your Divisor and the figures remaining towards the Left hand in your dividend is your Quotient Example How to measure a Wood by the help of a Quadrant and measuring only round the same FIrst set up marks at each corner of the Wood that three Marks may be seen at once then at one of these corners place a Stool and lay the Quadrant flat thereon and take sight to two of the marks on each side and mark upon Paper the Degrees of the Angle and measure to the said
