set_v the_o same_o clock_n be_v also_o set_v to_o the_o hour_n on_o the_o four_o of_o may_n or_o the_o 15_o of_o july_n shall_v on_o the_o follow_a year_n be_v sometime_o too_o fast_o and_o at_o other_o time_n too_o slow_a these_o be_v all_o strange_a and_o unaccountable_a thing_n to_o such_o as_o understand_v not_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o unequality_n of_o time_n from_o whence_o all_o these_o variety_n do_v still_o arise_v and_o be_v scarce_o to_o be_v demonstrate_v to_o the_o understanding_n by_o any_o other_o way_n than_o by_o this_o or_o some_o other_o table_n of_o the_o aequation_n of_o time_n since_o therefore_o there_o be_v a_o necessity_n for_o set_v clock_n anew_o to_o the_o sun_n at_o some_o time_n that_o they_o may_v be_v keep_v as_o near_o as_o possible_a to_o the_o apparent_a time_n give_v by_o a_o dial_n i_o advise_v that_o this_o set_n may_v be_v if_o possible_a the_o first_o day_n of_o every_o month_n so_o may_v you_o the_o better_o discern_v by_o the_o time_n set_v down_o at_o the_o bottom_n of_o every_o column_n whether_o your_o clock_n have_v go_v right_a to_o the_o mean_a time_n and_o be_v as_o exact_v in_o his_o motion_n as_o it_o be_v possible_a to_o bring_v he_o to_o for_o if_o it_o be_v exact_o adjust_v it_o will_v then_o either_o gain_v or_o lose_v near_o that_o time_n that_o be_v set_v down_o at_o the_o bottom_n of_o every_o month_n those_o sum_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o the_o aequation_n of_o the_o whole_a month_n add_v together_o into_o one_o sum_n as_o before_o i_o direct_v when_o i_o give_v you_o the_o method_n of_o adjust_v a_o pendulum_n to_o the_o true_a or_o mean_a time_n but_o in_o case_n you_o can_v set_v it_o right_n the_o first_o day_n then_o must_v you_o be_v at_o a_o little_a trouble_n to_o add_v together_o the_o aequation_n yourself_o at_o such_o time_n as_o you_o come_v to_o set_v it_o anew_o but_o when_o the_o clock_n be_v well_o adjust_v there_o needs_o little_a of_o this_o trouble_n be_v assure_v that_o it_o be_v bring_v to_o the_o near_a pitch_n of_o motion_n it_o be_v capable_a of_o and_o that_o when_o it_o be_v at_o any_o time_n find_v to_o differ_v from_o the_o sun_n it_o must_v be_v look_v upon_o as_o the_o natural_a consequence_n of_o the_o unequality_n of_o time_n and_o not_o any_o deficiency_n in_o the_o motion_n of_o the_o clock_n i_o speak_v this_o of_o those_o long_a and_o curious_a pendulum_n that_o vibrate_v within_o the_o compass_n of_o 2_o or_o 3_o inch_n for_o the_o less_o compass_n a_o pendulum_n take_v the_o more_o steady_a be_v its_o motion_n not_o be_v so_o subject_a to_o rise_v and_o fall_v as_o other_o be_v that_o vibrate_v in_o a_o large_a compass_n as_o for_o those_o short_a pendulum_n of_o a_o foot_n long_o or_o under_o although_o they_o may_v go_v very_o steady_a for_o the_o most_o part_n if_o frost_n or_o foulness_n hinder_v not_o yet_o be_v they_o not_o at_o all_o intend_a in_o this_o discourse_n their_o motion_n be_v apt_a to_o a_o alteration_n in_o some_o case_n for_o a_o short_a pendulum_n that_o go_v well_o when_o clean_o shall_v go_v fast_o than_o the_o mean_a time_n when_o foul_a because_o the_o pendulum_n be_v by_o the_o foulness_n hinder_v from_o take_v its_o wont_a compass_n the_o same_o effect_n do_v frost_n produce_v for_o by_o congeal_v the_o oil_n in_o the_o pevet_n its_o freedom_n of_o motion_n be_v interrupt_v so_o that_o the_o pendulum_n not_o fetch_v its_o wont_a compass_n shall_v go_v too_o fast_o but_o those_o long_a and_o curious_a pendulum_n of_o 40_o inch_n that_o fetch_v not_o above_o three_o inch_n compass_v they_o be_v so_o exact_a that_o be_v once_o adjust_v they_o shall_v always_o keep_v the_o same_o time_n if_o their_o motion_n continue_v for_o if_o the_o pendulum_n shall_v fetch_v a_o small_a compass_n their_o motion_n will_v cease_v and_o themselves_o stand_v still_o when_o such_o a_o pendulum_n as_o this_o be_v well_o adjust_v you_o may_v trust_v to_o it_o as_o to_o its_o correspondence_n in_o motion_n with_o the_o mean_a time_n and_o only_o give_v yourself_o the_o trouble_n sometime_o to_o set_v it_o a_o little_a forward_o or_o backward_o according_a to_o what_o the_o unequality_n of_o time_n have_v make_v it_o to_o differ_v from_o the_o same_o dial_n with_o which_o you_o do_v use_v to_o set_v it_o which_o time_n of_o set_v may_v be_v as_o i_o say_v before_o once_o in_o a_o month_n yet_o if_o the_o table_n be_v well_o note_v you_o shall_v find_v there_o be_v some_o time_n in_o the_o year_n in_o which_o a_o good_a clock_n may_v go_v a_o long_a time_n without_o any_o material_a difference_n from_o the_o time_n give_v by_o a_o dial_n for_o example_n suppose_v you_o set_v a_o clock_n right_n to_o the_o sun_n the_o first_o of_o january_n this_o clock_n if_o let_v go_v till_o the_o first_o of_o march_n shall_v then_o be_v but_o two_o minute_n four_o second_o too_o fast_o for_o though_o it_o gain_v in_o january_n six_o minute_n no_o great_a matter_n yet_o lose_v in_o the_o next_o month_n about_o four_o minute_n it_o shall_v at_o the_o end_n of_o that_o month_n be_v but_o two_o minute_n to_o fast_o nay_o if_o let_v go_v another_o month_n as_o to_o the_o last_o of_o march_n be_v it_o shall_v then_o differ_v but_o about_o seven_o minute_n which_o be_v no_o great_a matter_n moreover_o if_o you_o set_v a_o clock_n the_o first_o of_o may_n it_o shall_v if_o let_v go_v till_o june_n lose_v but_o two_o minute_n thirty_o five_o second_o in_o the_o whole_a though_o it_o shall_v at_o the_o begin_n of_o may_v be_v about_o five_o minute_n to_o slow_a which_o be_v no_o great_a matter_n so_o also_o if_o it_o be_v set_v right_o the_o first_o of_o june_n it_o may_v well_o go_v without_o set_v till_o the_o first_o of_o september_n for_o though_o it_o gain_v five_o minute_n in_o june_n yet_o lose_v eight_o minute_n in_o august_n it_o shall_v then_o be_v but_o about_o three_o minute_n too_o slow_a in_o this_o three_o month_n time_n but_o at_o some_o other_o time_n as_o from_o february_n to_o may_n if_o a_o clock_n be_v let_v go_v it_o will_v be_v extreme_o out_o lose_v above_o eighteen_o minute_n so_o also_o in_o november_n december_n and_o january_n in_o which_o time_n it_o will_v gain_v above_o thirty_o minute_n by_o the_o table_n you_o may_v also_o ready_o find_v out_o what_o difference_n there_o be_v between_o the_o length_n of_o any_o two_o day_n in_o this_o manner_n first_o if_o the_o day_n be_v both_o short_a or_o both_o long_o than_o the_o mean_a day_n then_o subtract_v the_o equation_n in_o the_o table_n belong_v to_o one_o day_n from_o the_o equation_n of_o the_o other_o and_o the_o remainder_n shall_v show_v their_o difference_n in_o length_n but_o if_o the_o day_n be_v one_o long_a than_o the_o mean_a and_o the_o other_o short_a then_o add_v the_o two_o equation_n together_o and_o the_o sum_n shall_v be_v the_o time_n that_o they_o differ_v in_o length_n thus_o the_o ten_o of_o january_n will_v be_v find_v to_o be_v thirteen_o second_o long_o than_o the_o ten_o of_o may_n also_o the_o fifteen_o of_o september_n will_v be_v find_v to_o be_v fifty_o one_o second_o short_a than_o the_o fifteen_o of_o december_n note_v that_o if_o man_n be_v very_o nice_a in_o keep_v a_o clock_n true_a to_o the_o sun_n they_o shall_v then_o make_v use_n if_o possible_a of_o but_o one_o time_n on_o the_o dial_n that_o they_o set_v it_o with_o and_o that_o pretty_a near_o noon_n for_o few_o dial_n be_v draw_v exact_o true_a great_a mistake_n may_v arise_v when_o a_o clock_n be_v set_v to_o one_o hour_n and_o then_o compare_v with_o another_o and_o by_o reason_n of_o refraction_n great_a error_n may_v also_o arise_v for_o the_o sun_n by_o refraction_n be_v make_v to_o appear_v high_a than_o real_o she_o be_v there_o can_v be_v no_o certain_a account_n take_v of_o the_o time_n till_o near_a noon_n where_o refraction_n cease_v and_o when_o all_o this_o care_n be_v take_v in_o regard_n it_o be_v so_o very_o hard_o to_o distinguish_v minute_n by_o the_o shadow_n of_o a_o dial_n you_o will_v be_v much_o more_o exact_a if_o you_o do_v thus_o let_v two_o plain_a and_o flat_a plate_n or_o board_n about_o ten_o inch_n square_a be_v join_v so_o close_o together_o that_o a_o sixpence_n may_v but_o just_o go_v between_o let_v they_o be_v fix_v so_o that_o this_o cranney_n between_o they_o may_v respect_v the_o true_a south_n this_o will_v give_v you_o the_o time_n to_o less_o than_o half_a a_o minute_n by_o observe_v the_o first_o moment_n that_o the_o sun_n beam_n be_v dart_v through_o it_o and_o cast_v upon_o some_o dark_a body_n that_o be_v plac●d_v on_o the_o north-part_n to_o receive_v the_o light_n so_o that_o have_v thus_o the_o exact_a time_n when_o the_o sun_n come_v to_o every_o meridian_n it_o will_v be_v find_v a_o much_o better_a way_n to_o adjust_a clock_n by_o such_o a_o device_n as_o this_o than_o by_o the_o true_a dial._n one_o use_n more_o and_o that_o a_o principal_a one_o i_o shall_v add_v that_o be_v this_o when_o a_o clock_n be_v once_o well_o adjust_v to_o the_o mean_a or_o equal_a day_n you_o may_v then_o by_o this_o table_n keep_v it_o right_n to_o the_o time_n give_v by_o the_o sun_n although_o you_o never_o set_v it_o right_n to_o a_o dial_n nor_o see_v the_o sun_n above_o once_o a_o year_n to_o perform_v this_o do_v thus_o set_v your_o clock_n right_a to_o the_o sun_n the_o first_o day_n of_o any_o one_o month_n and_o then_o the_o table_n still_o give_v you_o the_o time_n it_o shall_v lose_v or_o gain_v in_o that_o whole_a month_n ●ime_v it_o be_v then_o but_o set_v it_o forward_o or_o backward_o the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o next_o month_n what_o it_o either_o have_v get_v or_o lose_v in_o the_o month_n immediate_o precede_v and_o it_o will_v then_o be_v right_a with_o the_o sun_n as_o if_o it_o have_v be_v set_v by_o a_o dial_n and_o so_o from_o month_n to_o month_n you_o may_v by_o still_o set_v it_o either_o forward_a or_o
