AT the Change she riseth and setteth with the Sun 2. At the beginning of her Increase she riseth a little after Sun-rising and seteth a little after Sun-setting 3. At her first quar viz. 8. or 10. days old she riseth about Mid day and sets about Mid-night 4. At the Full Moon she riseth when the Sun setteth and setteth when the Sun riseth 5. At the beginning of her decrease she riseth a little after Sun setting and sets a little after Sun rising 6. At the last quarter of her decrease she riseth about Mid-night and serteth about Mid day Now by this you may easily know near enough for the common use of Land-men but not for Sea-men the intermediat times of the Moons rising and seting every day slower by one hour about a fifth part viz. 12. minuts FINIS
