Latit she wil differ for the moste parte more then half a point and sometimes an wholepoint more fâ—oÌ„ the Suns oposit point in such places as bee fâ—rre towards the North or South opposit or contrary point therfore those that hold opinion y t the moon alwaies riseth at the quart at 12. of the clocke at noone at the full at 6. of the clocke at night they are much deceaued For if the sunne set at 4. of the clock in winter he goeth neere the southwest and by west the moone being then at the ful in Canc. must needs rise at north-northeast by east at the same present houre that the sun setteth And as many are deceaued in this point so are there also many mistaken and oftentimes greatlye anoyed in an other point that are those y e vse in going with any bard harbrough shold or land to set the moone by the compasse to know the time of the â—ull sea in any place and this is surely a dangâ—rous practise For if the moone be in north signes as in Gemini or Cancer that he seeke the full sea on the East or East Southeast then by setting the Moone by the compasse to know the ful sea he may misse almost 2. houres of his tide and thereby come to a great annoyance and knoweth not how nor by what meanes it chanceth Therefore let euerie man that shal stand in néed of this rule practise y e vse therof by memory which is more coÌ„mendable then Tables but if their capacities serue theÌ„ not to do it by head theÌ„ I wish them to vse rather such tables as are extant for that purpose vntill they are otherwise able to doe it by memory For as the Compasse lying in all places horizontally is imperfect to shewe the true apertiment of the Sunâ—e moone in the Zodiack so likewise by y e imperfection the coÌ„passe is at no time a tâ—ue diall to shew the houre of the day except for y e instant time of the midday or directly vnder the Poles of the Worlde where the Equinoctiall is in the horizon or els in the Equinoct pointes except the flee of the compasse be lifted vp aâ— the Equinoct is eleuâ—ted in the Lat. where the obseruation is made And this is moste found in summer time when the Sun is in north Agnes as in Cancer or Gemini at which time it is almost â— of the clocke before the sunne come to the east point of the compasse yet it is commonlye counted with many that an east Sun by the Compasse is alwaieâ— 9. of the clock in the moâ—ning a west Sunne to be 6. of the clocke â—fter noon and so consequently for all the other pointes oâ— the compasse But all this error commeth by the Horizontall lying of the Flee of the Compasse as I before hath said And because the imperfection of the compasse is causâ— of the error in reckoning the tides by setting â—he 〈◊〉 it by the eye theâ—fore I wish no maÌ„ to vse it to y e parâ—â—se buâ— to reckon their appertiment by memory or by tables as I haue before said And further héere is to be â—oted y t the common compasse being sette ½ a point to the eastwarâ—â— of the true meridien of any place as some Compaâ—ses are almostâ— a whole point then I say by that Compaâ—se where the North point so varieth from the true meridian of the place so much shal it be vncertaine to finde out the â—oure of mid-day or noon yet many makes not obseruation of the Sunnes meridian Altitude vntil he be at S. by this daâ—ted compasse then is the Sun past the iustâ—nt of the meridiaÌ„ and his Altitude some what decreased And y e more the Compasse is varied to y e eastwards the more shal the Sunâ— altitude be decreased when he is come to that point And as the south of the compasse â—oth make difference from the true Merid. in the Horizon so doth all the other pointes in like proportion from their propper place And as the varying compasse is the onely impediment heereofâ— so is it likewise being varied imperfect to know the appertiment of the Sunne and Moone by the point shewed in the Horizon Therfore for the easier vnderstanding of the willing learneâ— I haue heereafter set downe in plaine sort a Compasse Fiâ—e the manner how to knowe the appertiment by memorie how many points and minutes the Sunne and Moone shall be apart for euerie particular day of her age The order of your compasse that is to know your points both with the Sunne and against the Sunne beginning at the north point as heereafter followeth NOrth north by east north northeast northeast and by north Northeast northeast and by east east north East east and by north East east and by south east southeast southeast by east southeast southeast and by south south southeast south and by east South south by west south southwest southwest and by south southwest southwest and by west west southwest west and by south west west and by north west northwest northwest by west northwest northwest by north north northwest north and by west north Thus it is said with the Sunne and as heere â—â—lloweth against the Sun north north
Moone For trying of his Tides how they doe take and giue So must he duely seeke the Eclipticke course of Sunne How he from West to East his proper course doth keepe His labour then God knowes as yet is but begunne For he must watch and ward and shake off sluggish sleepe And haue a carefull eye to hand that is at Helme For many one there is thâ—t false his course will plye And swelling Seas likewise the Ship may ouer-whelme Or set her on the shore without the Pylots eye When Boreas is abroad and blustring blasts doe blowe In season must he seeke to short in loftye sayle For that if not in time he very well doth knowe That all too late indeede no labour will preuayle But when the raging stormes doe swinge the ship on hye Ofte times against his will he spoones before the seas Else in goes all the sayles and takes her from her trye In haste to driue or hull till God the same appease Thus when he all the night with wearie toyle hath tride And sees the swelling seas hath set him from his way Then when a litle slacke of calme he hath espide With ioyfull heart to take the height he doth assay His Astrolabie then he setteth for the Sunne Or Crosse-staffe for the starre called the Ballastile And thus with help of them and declination How land doth beare of him he knowes within a while Then by his Compasse straight he duly sets his course And thus he brings the ship in safetie to her Porte Where of his hazards past he makes a great discourse And each man by desert doth giue him good reporte If Pylots painfull toyle be lifted then alofte For vsing of his Arte according to his kinde What fame is due to them that first this Arte out sought And first instructions gaue to them that were but blinde R.
