A85532 The Antiquity & excellency of globes. What a globe is, and of the circles without the globe, what the horizon is with the things described thereon, also what the meridian is, the poles, axes, houre circle and index. Moreover of the circles which are described on the supersicies of the globes; of the equinoctiall circle, zodiack, and eccliptick, of the tropicks, what the artick and antartick circles are; of the verticall circles, and quadrant of latitude, of the zones and their numbers of climates and paralels. All which are proper to the celestiall and terrestriall globes, with their uses, profitable for all that would be instructed in geography. 1653 (1653) Wing G1524; Thomason E689_27; ESTC R206953 18,791 33

these_o zone_n remain_v almost_o unhabitable_a and_o even_o as_o the_o word_n be_v freeze_v the_o name_n of_o all_o these_o set_v in_o the_o right_a place_n of_o each_o zone_n you_o shall_v see_v in_o

a_o climate_n be_v a_o space_n of_o the_o earth_n include_v within_o the_o space_n of_o two_o parellel_n the_o use_n of_o they_o be_v to_o show_v the_o difference_n of_o length_n and_o shortness_n of_o day_n over_o all_o the_o world_n as_o you_o may_v see_v in_o the_o midst_n of_o every_o climate_n set_v the_o number_n of_o the_o hour_n of_o the_o long_a day_n in_o the_o year_n under_o that_o climate_n the_o long_a day_n in_o one_o climate_n differ_v half_o a_o hour_n from_o the_o long_a in_o another_o so_o that_o there_o be_v four_o and_o twenty_o climate_n consist_v of_o forty_o eight_o

both_o way_n to_o the_o number_n of_o twenty_o four_o as_o be_v see_v in_o the_o meridian_n that_o there_o be_v but_o nine_o name_v the_o reason_n be_v because_o when_o these_o name_n be_v give_v no_o
