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
