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.

Choose two places to stand in to see the same as suppose 20 yards distant for which distance draw a Line on Paper and divide it into 20 parts then lay the edge of a Quadrant at one standing the Quadrant lying flat to point to the other standing and mark how many degrees the sight of the Tree may cut to make an Angle which mark at the end of the Line on the Paper do so at the other standing and bring it to the Paper Lastly draw both the Lines at length till they touch each other and that will shew the distance in yards to be measures by your first Line Note that if the Tree be far distant let your standings be the farther off each other And for want of a Quadrant the square corner of a Board may serve if it be exact square at one corner If you are upon the Land you may take the distance of a Ship at Sea by two standings as before But if you are upon a Ship Mast at Sea or upon a high Tower near the Sea then spie through the sights the Ship observing how many Degrees and Minutes makes the Angle which note upon Paper and let down into the Sea a Line and Plummet the which Line measure into yards and lay it down also on Paper by the Line of equal parts Note that the Angle at the water is a perfect square as one should always be Then draw your Lines to a point as before so that by this Rule the ingenious may find the distance of several Towns and Castles one from another and also their heights and breadths though you cannot come at them by reason of Water or an Enemy c. Note that if the Plummet cut one one quarter of your Quadrant on the right side in taking of sight then twice the distance from your standing to the bottom of the Tree is the height Or if it cut so much of the Left side then half the distance is the height Remember that the sight to the top of the Tree must be as a streight Line to the Ground it may reach 6 7 or 8 foot backward if you stand upright to take the sight How to make black Ink. Take Rain water two Quarts Galls bruised six ounces let them stand one week in the Sun then put in Gum Arabick and Coperas of each four ounces heat it over the fire and stir it with a stick often This Table is called multiplication Table which all have learned by heart that are skill'd in Arithmetick 1 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9   2 4 6 8 10 12 14 16 18     3 9 12 15 18 21 24 27       4 16 20 24 28 32 36         5 25 30 35 40 45           6 36 42 48 54             7 49 56 63               8 64 72                 9 81 How to read this Table Begin at the figure 2 in the second Line and 2 in the first and say 2 times 2 is four 2 times 3 is 6 c. Then begin at 3 in the third Line saying 3 times 3 is 9 and 3 times 4 is 12 3 times 5 is 15 and so to the end Multiply 20 by 5 Thus the Cipher in the 20 set down under the Line then 2 times 5 is 10 set it down so 5 times 20 is 100. Multiply 69 by 87 set it thus Work thus Say 7 times 9 is 63 set down 3 and carry in mind 6 then 7 times 6 is 42 and 6 I bear in mind is 48 set down 8 and bear in mind 4 which 4 set down having no further to carry it Then say 8 times

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

9 is 72 set down 2 under 8 and carry 7 and work as the other Line Lastly add up the two Lines saying 3 set it down then 2 and 8 is 10 set down a Cipher and carry 1 then 1 that I carried and 5 is 6 and 4 is 10 set down a Cipher and carry 1 saying 1 and 5 is 6. 23 times 100 is 2300 A Pattern to mark Linnen by One pound 2 ounces 12 penny weight Troy is equal to 16 ounces or one pound Averdupois Or 1 l. Averdupois is equal to 14 ⅗ ounces Troy One ounce Troy is 5 shillings Silver 8 grains Troy is one shilling in Gold If the Date of the year when an antient Book was printed or a man born in the year of our Lord 1616 what is his age this year 1681. Do this by Substraction from 1681 take 1616 rests 0065 Say take 6 from 1 that I cannot do but must borrow 10 to put to the 1 makes 11 then again 6 from 11 and there remains 5 now one that I borrowed and 1 is two so two from 8 and there rests 6 then 6 from 6 and 1 from 1.
