the_o interfection_n of_o these_o two_o line_n describe_v a_o circle_n on_o your_o dial_n to_o what_o distance_n you_o please_v and_o then_o divide_v it_o as_o all_o other_o circle_n usual_o be_v

find_v out_o the_o distance_n of_o the_o hour_n line_n in_o this_o circle_n for_o any_o latitude_n of_o place_n which_o that_o we_o may_v do_v by_o the_o use_n of_o the_o globe_n let_v it_o first_o
