Now lay a ruler on a Centre euen with some diuisions drawing thorow to the extreames of the Circle a line Then crosse that with another These two must diuide your circle in 4. equall parts which lines shew the very East West North and South when by a Meridian or square diall with a needle rectified they are placed Now to the end set a small straight wier a foote or more long with a Uane in the top plum vpright in the Centre and there fasten it Thus this Instrumēt is finished to be fixed about your house equidistant or leuell with the Horizon hauing a needle if ye list in it truly to plage it when and where you will That it may be also a Diall for the day you must pull straight lines from y e extremitie of your circle outward to euery fifteenth part decking them with Charactors conueniently as ye see the figure your rule keeping the Centre Thus when the Sunne shineth the shadow of the wier sheweth the true houre the Uane the windes c. being truly plaged well placed and reared as followeth The points of the compasse are drawn within the circle and about the Centre euery point containing 11. degrees and a halfe The instrument as you see is enclosed round about with a Square for the Mariners ayde Truly few words cannot expresse the excellencie of this Square for their vse No otherwise to bee opened then learned Gemma hath inuented and plainly declared here omitted of me not fully occasioned now to write that way I haue appoynted a meeter place for this and like matter In the meane time I am readie in word and deede to further the desirefull in this or any other Beholde this instrument for Nauigation most commodious the vse of which is here only put forth according to my inuention The right rearing and placing of the Diall tofore mentioned LIft vp handsomely your Instrument or Diall toward the North in some meete place the side of a squire lying on it vntill the plummet and line centred in the extreame vpper part of the other side of your Squire like long cut all that Squire side which lieth on your Instrument the fift part onely except Then moue your Instrument hither and thither this or that way vntil the shadow of the wire fall vpon the houre of y e day keeping diligently your height before Your Diall thus fixed declareth all the yeere long the exact houre and parts thereof No Diall in trueth excelleth this Haue in remembrance that this Instrument must lie leuell nothing at al reared for the houre of the night by starre To get the exact houre by two Starres of the first light with an Instrument or Circle tofore diuided first of me inuented calculated and practised THe Instrument equidistantly set and plaged as is declared in composition ye ought to lay the edge of a ruler vnto the wire the other nether end touching the Instrument mouing here and there still touching the wire vntill either Starre doth offer it selfe with that edge and that by the iudgement of the eye Then put downe discreetly your ruler euer touching the wire the hinder end not mooued obseruing how many parts are cut from the North to the edge of the Ruler Enter with them the peculiar Kalendar following seeking out your moneth placed in the middest of euery Table then the day of that moneth must bee there found Note that euery table hath on the sides the daies thus ordered 1.5.10.15.20.25.30 Know the order or row of figures which is right against or neerest your day serueth the turne The number or parts before cut by the ruler and now found in the row of your table sheweth the precise houre If it be too little that houre ouer the head or vnder is not yet come if contrarie it is past How these two bright starres being of the first light are found the one called Aldebaran or Oculus Tauri the other Alramech THe best way is thus The moneth and day knowne with the true houre of the night enter your Table considering that moneth and day obserue what parts belongeth there to that starre and houre Then resort to your Instrument laying the edge of your ruler as many parts from the North Eastward circumspectly lifting vp the edge close by the wire so the fayre starre shineth euen with that edge Or thus grosly OCulus Tauri is euer a meete rod and a halfe to the eye vnder the seuen starres and somewhat North of them in the rising Alramech is contrarie to him plaged accompanied with three little dimme starres a rod from him by the iudgement of the sight in the forme of a Triangle thus Behold this figure the great Starre dooth represent Alramech the other three in the Triangle which is placed alwayes with him but commonly there doth appeare but one Starre of the Triangle NOW ENSVETH THE needefull necessarie peculiar Kalendar tofore mentioned with Instruments belonging thereto The composition and appliance of the said Tables with the pleasant vse of them are before sufficiently opened therefore further declaration here might seeme superfluous A necessarie Instrument to finde exactly the houre of the day and night

the right hand of this figure 1 I see 5. houres and 54. minutes that is sixe of the clocke wanting 6. minutes The rising of the Sunne in that order is iust at eight as this figure 8. there declareth vnder that title in the row The length of the day eight houres the length of the night 16. houres the Sunne setting is at foure the twylight at 6. and 6. minutes Euen thus for the tenth day and also for the twentith of that moneth in the rowes according to their titles in the head of my Tables How to worke by proportion when the day is not found I Would know all the aforesaid the first day of Ianuarie I take for example the breake of the day Remember the first day of Ianuarie I did finde the breake to be at fiue of the clocke and 54. minutes and the tenth day I may finde the breake of the day to bée at 5. and 44. minutes that is 10. minutes lesse I see now 10. daies doe giue me 10. minutes lesse I see therefore by proportion the fift day must giue 5. minuts lesse than 5. houres 54. minuts which is 5. houres 49 minutes my request Thus for all the other titles The houre of the night by the Moone is otherwise found than before and that diuersly THe houre of her rising knowne as is opened and a mark then made where she shadoweth in any true fixed or moueable Sun diall the houres and minutes from that marke all the night after are to be added to her rising If more than 12. surmount only that aboue 12. sheweth the true houre and minute If at the rising she may not be seene then by the Sunne rising in that very Signe with the helpe of this Almanack you may perceiue what houre she would note at her rising Therefore from that marke count An other way WHen the moone is at the full looke what houre her shadow sheweth in any Dial that is the houre of the night After she is past the full 28. houres ye must adde one houre But afore the full pull one from that yee finde in the Diall If twise 28. two houres c. so haue ye the houre of the right How the houre of the day by Right shadow that is by any thing directly standing vp is knowne and by Squire shadow also FIrst it behoueth you to haue a Staffe or any other thing diuided in 12. equall parts When ye list to haue the houre set vp directly your deuided Staffe on a plaine leuell ground or boord c. Note the iust length of the shadowe what parts it containeth With those enter your moneth in the peculiar Kalendar following beholding diligently vnder the name of the moneth the small enclosed Tables considering well which of those small Tables are neerest vnto your day and that iudge by the signe or day there noted That table serueth your purpose where you must looke out the parts of the shadow afore ●ound or neere vnto it vnder or ouer the which the houre is set before or after noone Note the two prickes there signifie halfe a part more then is noted one pricke halfe a part lesse Here it is also to be noted that euery table hath within two rowes of figures the vpper is for the Staffe the other for the Squire shadow And whatsoeuer is before said of the one that same is meant here of the other sauing of the Composition The Squire must be deuided from the inward angle to the ende of one side in 12. equall parts euen so from that angle the other side into 24. like parts as this figure sheweth These to the wittie suffice The composition of an Instrument for the houre of the night which is also a perfect Diall for the day and excellent for the Mariner THe taking of an Altitude supposed I could exactly in few and that without an Instrument satisfie For want of y e knowledge The vse of these Tables WHen you will know the full Sea seeke out the name of the place where you desire the full water in the head of the Tables or learne the poynts of the Compasse there noted or if you list know of some mariner what Moone maketh a full sea there a Southwest or South Moone c. Then y e age of y e Moone found vnder y e place or point of y e compasse sheweth in right order the houre and minute of the full water The ebbe then is manifest Example I desire to know the full water at London bridge the yeare of our Lord 1555. the sixt day of February I finde by rules before put foorth the 6 day of February the yeare aforesayd the Moone to bee 14. dayes olde I see also vnder the title where London is S.W. which letters signifie that a Southwest Moone maketh a ful Sea there and that is at 2. of the clocke and 12. minutes past This is well perceiued in the first Table before put foorth if you run downe to y e 14. day of the age of the Moone vnder Lōdon title A note of the houre of the day and night THe ingenious may gather neere about the houre of the day and night by the Moone consideration had of the poynts in those Tables of tydes before noted For the houre is orderly put vnder the poynt of the compasse Euery part or poynt contayning 11. degres and ¼ this compasse is wel figured neere about the Centre in the instrument following for the night houre because ye may by it haue a delectable large vse of these tide tables How by the first of the tide tables ye may readily know when the Moone commeth into the South when she riseth and setteth with her continuance on the earth SEeke the age of the Moone as is opened then resort to the first tide table looking out that age there So vnder the South poynt in right order the houre appeareth when she commeth vnto the South Then hath she spent halfe that arcke that the Sun would haue had in that Signe which pulled away sheweth the rising that halfe arcke also added to her comming vnto the South declareth her going downe The arck then that the Sun would haue had in the signe is her continuance on the earth A Table at all times plainly and briefly declaring the breake of the day the houre and minute of the Sunne rising the iust length of the day the length of the night also the very minute of the Sunne setting and the twylight Monethes Dayes Break of the day Sunne rysinge Lengthe of the day Lēgthe of the night Sunne settinge Twylyghte Dayes Monethes of the daye     H.

that summe from 30. the remaine sheweth the day of the change Here note the full Moone is the 15. day after the chaunge Also if the remaine be lesse then 15. substract that lesse from 15. the rest is the full Moone If the remaine passe 30. substract it from 45. then the full doth also appeare To conclude if from the full Moone yee pull 15. dayes ye haue the chaunge going before The chaunge had the quarters are knowne by adding or pulling away seuen dayes For the age of the Moone worke thus for euer ADde to the dayes of your Moneth the Epact and also as many daies more as are moneths from March to your moneth including both moneths Now substract thirtie if ye may the age then remaineth Now shall be declared what Signes and degrees the Moone differeth from the Sunne by the which is gathered at all times the Signe and Grade wherein she is MUltiplie the age of the Moone by 4. diuide by 10. the quotient sheweth the Signes that the Moone differeth from the Sunne The remaine augmented by 3. bringeth degrees to be added Ye must put these Signes and degrees to the place of the Sunne The product I meane the increase or ende of all these Signes and degrees in order counted from the Sunne declare the place of the Moone in the Zodiacke The place of the Sunne in the Zodiacke is thus found FIrst know that the 11. day of Ianuary the Sunne is entred into ♒ The 10. day of February ♓ The 11. of March ♈ The 11. of Aprill ♉ The 12. of May ♊ The 12. of Iune ♋ The 14. of Iuly ♌ The 14 of August ♍ The .14 of September ♎ The 14. of October ♏ The 13. of Nouember ♐ The 12. of December ♑ This knowne the place of the Sunne is well found adding for euery day past any entrey 1. degree Example I Require the place of the Sunne the 21. day of August I finde that the Sun is entered in ♍ the 14. day of the moneth I must for euery day past any entry adde 1. degree There are seuen daies past that entrie then I conclude the Sunne readie to haue place in the 8. degree of ♍ the 21. of August To know how long the Moone shineth FOr her shining in the encrease multiplie the age of the Moone by 4. In the wane augment the rest of the age which she lacketh of 30. by 4. and diuide by 5. The Quotient sheweth the houres the remaines if there be any multiplied by 12. bringeth minutes to be added How the moueable feasts are found readily SEeke the change of the Moone in February for that yeere yée require these moueable Feasts Note what day it falleth on the next Tuesday is Shrouetuesday But if the change be on Tueseday the next Tuesday ensuing is it The next Sunday is the first Sunday of Lent Sixe Sundayes after is Easter day Adde 35. dayes or 5. weekes to Easter day ye haue Rogation Sunday To that adde 4. dayes so ye haue Ascension day Then haue ye 10 daies to Whitsunday Seuen dayes after is Trinitie Sunday And foure dayes after is Corpus Christi day Without Tables at all times to know the Tydes LEarne as is declared the age of the Moone also remember the houre of the Full or Change for your place or poynt which doth neuer varie these knowne worke thus Example WHen the Moone is tenne daies olde I desire to know at what of the clocke it is full sea at London bridge Multiplie tenne by fortie eight so haue ye foure hundred eightie diuide that by sixtie ye haue eight houres To that adde three which is the houre of the full or change appointed for that place All then commeth vnto eleuen of the clocke high water at London bridge If any thing remaine they are minutes of an houre If the houres amount aboue twelue cast the twelues away the rest is your request FINIS TO THE READER HAuing of late gentle Reader corrected and reformed sundrie faults that by negligence in printing haue crept into my Fathers Generall Prognostication Among other things I haue found a description or Modill of the world and situation of Spheres Coelestiall elementarie according to the doctrine of Ptolomie whereunto all Vniuersities led thereunto chiefely by the authoritie of Aristotle sithens haue consented But in this our age one rare wit seeing the continuall errors that from time to time more and more haue been discouered besides the infinite absurdities in their Theoricks which they haue been forced to admit that would not confesse any Mobilitie in the ball of the earth hath by long study painefull practise and rare inuention deliuered a new Theoricke or Modill of the world shewing that y e earth resteth not in the Centre of the whole world but not onely in the Centre of this our mortall world or Globe of Elements which enuironed and enclosed in the Moones Orbe and together with the whole Globe of mortalitie is caried yeerely round about the Sunne which like a king in the middest of al raigneth and giueth lawes of motion to the rest sphaerically dispersing his glorious beames of light through all this sacred Coelestial Temple And the Earth it self to be one of the Planets hauing his peculiar and strange courses turning euery 24 houres round vpon his owne Centre whereby the Sun and great Globe of fixed starres seeme to sway about and turne albeit indeede they remaine fixed So many waies is the sense of mortall men abused But reason deep discourse of wit hauing opened these things to Copernicus and the same being with demonstrations Mathematical most apparantly by him to the world deliuered I thought it conuenient together with the old Theorick also to publish this to the end such noble English mindes as delight to reach aboue the baser sorte of men might not be altogether defrauded of so noble a part of Philosophie And to the ende it might manifestly appeare that Copernicus meant not as some haue fondly excused him to deliuer these grounds of the earths mobilitie onely as Mathematical principles fayned and not as Philosophicall truly auerred I haue also from him deliuered both the Philosophical reasons by Aristotle and others produced to maintaine the Earths stabilitie also their solutions and insufficiencie wherein I cannot a little commend the modestie of y e graue Philosopher Aristotle who seeing no doubt the sufficiencie of his own reasons in seeking to confute the earths motion vseth th●se words De his explicatum est ea qua potuimus facultate howbeit his disciples haue not with like sobrietie maintained the same Thus much for my owne part in this case I will only say There is no doubt but of a true ground truer effects may be produced then of principles that are false and of true principles falsehood or absurdities cannot be inferred If therfore the Earth be situate immoueable in the Centre of the world why find we not Theoricks vpon that ground to produce effects as true and
