A93914 Horometria: or The compleat diallist. Wherein the whole mystery of the art of dialling is plainly taught three several wayes; two of which are performed geometrically by rule and compass onely: and the third instrumentally, by a quadrant fitted for that purpose. With the working of such propositions of the sphere, as are most usefull in astronomy and navigation ... By Thomas Stirrup, philomath. Whereunto is added an appendix, shewing how the parallels of declination; the Jewish, Babylonish, & Italian houres; the azimuths, almicanters, &c. may be easily inscribed on any dial whatsoever, by rule and compasse onely. And to draw a diall on the seeling of a room, by W. Leybourn. Also, Dialling Vniversal, performed by an easie and most speedy way, ... by certain scales set on a small portable ruler, by G.S. practitioner in the mathematicks. Stirrup, Thomas.; Leybourn, William, 1626-1716. Appendix, shewing how the parallels of declination; the Jewish, Babylonish, & Italian hours; the asimuths, almicanters &c. may be easily inscribed on any dial whatsoever.; Serle, George.

meridian_n must_v be_v place_v below_o the_o horizontal_n line_n but_o here_o you_o must_v observe_v that_o if_o it_o be_v either_o the_o upper_a or_o under_o face_n of_o a_o south_n incline_v plane_n who_o meridians_fw-la elevation_n be_v great_a than_o the_o latitude_n compliment_n or_o either_o the_o upper_a or_o under_o face_n of_o a_o north_n incline_v plane_n who_o meridians_fw-la elevation_n be_v less_o than_o the_o latitude_n of_o the_o place_n that_o then_o the_o meridian_n must_v be_v place_v from_o that_o end_n of_o the_o horizontal_a line_n with_o the_o declination_n of_o the_o plane_n but_o on_o all_o the_o other_o face_n of_o these_o kind_n of_o plane_n the_o meridian_n must_v be_v place_v from_o that_o end_n of_o the_o horizontal_a line_n which_o be_v contrary_a to_o the_o declination_n of_o the_o plane_n and_o here_o note_v that_o if_o the_o inclination_n shall_v be_v southward_o and_o the_o elevation_n of_o the_o meridian_n equal_a to_o the_o compliment_n of_o your_o latitude_n then_o shall_v the_o substile_a lie_n square_a to_o the_o meridian_n and_o if_o the_o inclination_n shall_v be_v northward_o and_o the_o elevation_n of_o the_o meridian_n equal_a to_o the_o latitude_n of_o the_o place_n then_o shall_v neither_o pole_n be_v elevate_v above_o this_o plane_n and_o therefore_o shall_v be_v a_o polar_a decline_a plane_n wherein_o the_o meridian_n be_v place_v according_a to_o his_o ascension_n from_o the_o horizontal_a line_n shall_v be_v in_o place_n of_o the_o substile_a unto_o which_o if_o you_o draw_v a_o line_n square_n it_o shall_v serve_v for_o the_o equator_fw-la then_o set_v one_o foot_n of_o your_o compass_n in_o the_o intersection_n of_o the_o substile_a with_o the_o equator_fw-la and_o open_v the_o other_o to_o any_o convenient_a distance_n upon_o the_o substile_a and_o describe_v the_o equinoctial_a circle_n as_o in_o the_o six_o chapter_n of_o this_o book_n be_v show_v upon_o the_o centre_n whereof_o make_v a_o

and_o so_o no_o distance_n between_o the_o substile_a and_o the_o meridian_n for_o the_o meridian_n and_o the_o stile_n with_o the_o substile_n will_v be_v as_o it_o be_v all_o one_o line_n which_o be_v the_o axletree_n of_o the_o world_n so_o that_o here_o the_o stile_n must_v be_v parallel_n to_o the_o plane_n and_o the_o hour-line_n parallel_v one_o to_o the_o other_o as_o in_o the_o
