great_a the_o great_a the_o northern_a declination_n be_v again_o if_o the_o sun_n be_v decline_v towards_o the_o south_n the_o intersection_n of_o the_o parallel_n of_o the_o sun_n with_o the_o

the_o southern_a declination_n be_v and_o in_o those_o place_n of_o the_o ecliptic_a in_o which_o the_o sun_n most_o speedy_o change_v his_o declination_n the_o length_n also_o of_o the_o day_n be_v most_o alter_v and_o where_o the_o ecliptic_a go_v most_o parallel_n to_o the_o equinoctial_a change_v the_o declination_n but_o little_o alter_v as_o for_o example_n when_o the_o sun_n be_v near_o unto_o the_o aequinoctial_a on_o both_o side_n the_o day_n increase_n and_o also_o decrease_v sudden_o and_o apace_o because_o in_o those_o place_n the_o ecliptic_a incline_v to_o the_o equinoctial_a in_o a_o manner_n like_o a_o straight_a line_n make_v sensible_a declination_n again_o when_o the_o sun_n be_v near_o his_o great_a declination_n as_o in_o the_o height_n of_o summer_n and_o the_o depth_n of_o winter_n the_o day_n keep_v for_o a_o good_a time_n as_o it_o be_v at_o one_o stay_v because_o in_o these_o place_n the_o ectiptic_a be_v in_o a_o manner_n parallel_v to_o the_o equinoctial_a the_o length_n of_o the_o day_n also_o be_v but_o little_a scarce_o alter_v the_o declination_n and_o because_o in_o those_o two_o time_n of_o the_o year_n the_o sun_n stand_v as_o it_o be_v still_o at_o one_o declination_n they_o be_v call_v the_o summer_n solstice_n and_o winter_n solstice_n and_o in_o the_o mean_a space_n the_o near_o every_o place_n be_v to_o the_o equinoctial_a the_o great_a be_v the_o diversity_n of_o day_n wherefore_o we_o may_v hereby_o plain_o see_v that_o the_o common_a receive_v opinion_n that_o in_o every_o month_n the_o day_n do_v equal_o increase_v be_v erroveous_a also_o we_o may_v see_v that_o in_o parallel_n equal_o distant_a from_o the_o aequinoctial_a the_o day_n on_o the_o one_o side_n be_v equal_a to_o the_o night_n on_o the_o other_o side_n vi_o use_n to_o find_v how_o far_o the_o sun_n rise_v and_o set_v from_o the_o true_a east_n and_o west_n point_n which_o be_v call_v the_o sun_n amplitude_n ortive_a and_o occasive_a seek_v out_o as_o be_v show_v in_o iii_o use_n the_o imaginary_a circle_n or_o parallel_v of_o the_o sun_n course_n and_o the_o point_n of_o that_o circle_n in_o the_o horizon_n on_o the_o east_n and_o west_n side_n cut_v the_o degree_n of_o the_o amplitude_n ortive_a and_o occasive_a vii_o use_v to_o find_v the_o length_n of_o every_o day_n and_o night_n double_o the_o hour_n of_o the_o sun_n set_v and_o you_o shall_v have_v the_o length_n of_o the_o day_n and_o double_v the_o hour_n of_o the_o sun_n rise_v and_o you_o shall_v have_v the_o length_n of_o the_o night_n viii_o use_v to_o find_v the_o true_a place_n of_o the_o sun_n upon_o the_o dial_n that_o be_v the_o point_n of_o the_o instrument_n which_o answer_v to_o the_o place_n of_o the_o sun_n in_o the_o heaven_n at_o any_o time_n which_o be_v the_o very_a ground_n of_o all_o the_o question_n follow_v if_o the_o dial_n be_v fix_v upon_o a_o post_n look_v what_o a_o clock_n it_o be_v by_o the_o outward_a dial_n that_o be_v look_v what_o hour_n and_o part_n of_o hour_n the_o shadow_n of_o the_o slant_v edge_n of_o the_o stile_n show_v in_o the_o outward_a limb_n then_o behold_v the_o shadow_n of_o the_o upright_a edge_n and_o mark_v what_o point_n thereof_o be_v upon_o that_o very_a hour_n and_o part_n in_o the_o inner_a dial_n among_o the_o parallel_n that_o point_n be_v the_o true_a place_n of_o the_o sun_n at_o the_o same_o instant_n if_o the_o dial_n be_v not_o fix_v and_o you_o have_v a_o meridian_n line_v note_v in_o any_o window_n where_o the_o sun_n shine_v place_n the_o meridian_n of_o your_o dial_n upon_o the_o meridian_n line_n give_v so_o that_o the_o top_n of_o the_o stile_n may_v point_v into_o the_o north_n and_o so_o the_o dial_n be_v as_o it_o be_v fix_v wherefore_o by_o the_o former_a rule_n you_o may_v find_v the_o place_n of_o the_o sun_n upon_o it_o if_o the_o dial_n be_v not_o fix_v neither_o you_o have_v a_o meridian_n line_n but_o you_o know_v the_o true_a hour_n of_o the_o day_n exact_o hold_v the_o dyal_a even_o and_o parallel_v to_o the_o horizon_n move_v it_o till_o the_o slant_v edge_n of_o the_o stile_n cast_v his_o shadow_n just_o upon_o the_o time_n or_o hour_n give_v for_o then_o the_o dial_n be_v true_o place_v as_o upon_o a_o post_n seek_v therefore_o what_o point_n of_o the_o upright_a shadow_n fall_v upon_o that_o very_a hour_n and_o there_o be_v the_o place_n of_o the_o sun_n but_o if_o your_o dial_n be_v loose_a and_o you_o know_v neither_o the_o meridian_n nor_o the_o time_n of_o the_o day_n first_o by_o the_o day_n of_o the_o month_n in_o the_o ecliptic_a find_v the_o sun_n parallel_n or_o diurnal_a arch_n for_o that_o day_n then_o hold_v the_o dial_n level_v to_o the_o horizon_n move_v it_o every_o way_n until_o the_o slant_v shadow_n of_o the_o stile_n in_o the_o outward_a limb_n and_o the_o upright_a shadow_n in_o the_o sun_n diurnal_a arch_n both_o show_v the_o very_a same_o hour_n and_o minute_n for_o that_o very_a point_n of_o the_o sun_n parallel_n which_o the_o upright_a shadow_n cut_v be_v the_o true_a place_n of_o the_o sun_n on_o the_o dyal_a at_o that_o present_a but_o note_v that_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o thickness_n of_o the_o stile_n and_o the_o bluntness_n of_o the_o angle_n of_o the_o upright_a edge_n the_o sun_n can_v come_v unto_o that_o edge_n for_o some_o space_n before_o and_o after_o noon_n and_o so_o during_o the_o time_n that_o the_o sun_n shine_v not_o on_o that_o upright_a edge_n the_o place_n of_o the_o sun_n in_o the_o dial_n can_v be_v find_v wherefore_o they_o that_o make_v this_o kind_n of_o double_a dial_n be_v to_o be_v careful_a to_o file_v the_o upright_a edge_n of_o the_o stile_n as_o thin_a &_o sharp_a as_o possible_a may_v be_v
