as_o for_o example_n if_o you_o borowe_n two_o fourthe_n in_o one_o and_o the_o same_o colour_n circle_n that_o be_v the_o solsticiall_a of_o the_o same_o part_n where_o it_o pass_v by_o the_o begin_n

the_o zodiac_n or_o ecclipticke_a and_o of_o this_o i_o thus_o reason_n that_o when_o the_o equal_n be_v deduct_v or_o abate_v from_o the_o equal_n the_o remainder_n shall_v be_v equal_a therefore_o be_v the_o foresay_a quarter_n equal_a in_o that_o they_o be_v in_o the_o same_o circle_n and_o that_o from_o either_o be_v the_o equal_a or_o common_a ark_n deduct_v that_o be_v the_o same_o which_o

remain_v of_o these_o quarter_n be_v equal_a that_o be_v the_o distance_n of_o the_o pole_n of_o the_o zodiac_n and_o the_o equinoctial_a be_v equal_a to_o the_o sun_n great_a declination_n for_o if_o 66._o degree_n and_o 31._o minute_n be_v deduct_v from_o either_o quarter_n the_o remainder_n then_o be_v 23_o degree_n and_o 31_o minute_n which_o be_v the_o distance_n between_o the_o foresay_a pole_n and_o the_o great_a declination_n of_o the_o sun_n this_o other_o example_n demonstrate_v that_o the_o sun_n great_a declination_n and_o the_o distance_n of_o the_o pole_n of_o the_o zodiac_n or_o ecclipticke_a from_o the_o pole_n of_o the_o world_n be_v equal_a and_o of_o like_a largeness_n and_o that_o what_o soever_o happen_v to_o the_o distance_n of_o the_o say_a pole_n for_o as_o this_o increase_v or_o decrease_v the_o like_a do_v that_o decrease_n or_o increase_v of_o this_o it_o be_v manifest_a that_o the_o two_o foresay_a arctic_a circle_n be_v now_o in_o our_o time_n lesser_a through_o the_o decrease_a of_o the_o sun_n great_a declination_n and_o that_o the_o tropicke_n be_v great_a than_o they_o be_v in_o ptholomies_n time_n the_o office_n or_o utility_n of_o the_o four_o lesser_a circle_n 1_o the_o office_n of_o the_o solsticiall_a tropic_n after_o the_o greek_n be_v to_o define_v the_o long_a summer_n day_n and_o the_o winter_n tropic_n to_o determine_v the_o short_a winter_n day_n and_o long_a night_n for_o proclus_n to_o find_v the_o long_a day_n do_v divide_v the_o summer_n solstice_n into_o 8._o equal_a part_n of_o which_o so_o divide_v he_o

but_o of_o the_o polare_fw-la circle_n these_o be_v the_o chief_a and_o especial_a utility_n 1_o they_o iudicate_v or_o show_v the_o pole_n of_o the_o zodiac_n and_o how_o far_o they_o be_v distant_a from_o the_o pole_n of_o the_o world_n 2_o they_o enclose_v those_o star_n which_o ever_o appear_v above_o our_o horizone_n and_o those_o in_o like_a manner_n right_a against_o be_v always_o hide_v

parallel_n circle_n save_v for_o one_o region_n certain_a as_o neither_o their_o quantity_n nor_o their_o order_n for_o in_o that_o place_n where_o the_o altitude_n of_o the_o pole_n be_v lesser_a than_o 66._o degree_n and_o a_o half_a these_o circle_n there_o be_v lesser_a than_o the_o tropic_n and_o in_o order_n be_v between_o they_o and_o the_o pole_n and_o be_v from_o the_o pole_n continual_o distant_a by_o so_o many_o degree_n as_o the_o pole_n in_o that_o country_n be_v raise_v above_o the_o horizon_n so_o that_o in_o the_o same_o place_n the_o pole_n raise_v more_o than_o 66._o degree_n and_o a_o half_a the_o tropic_n than_o be_v above_o the_o horizone_n as_o the_o like_a may_v be_v understand_v by_o that_o place_n call_v wardehouse_n so_o that_o in_o the_o same_o climate_n the_o arctic_a circle_n be_v great_a than_o the_o tropic_n of_o cancer_n as_o witness_v the_o learned_a stoeflerus_n justingensis_n 3_o they_o distinguish_v after_o the_o mind_n of_o the_o

therefore_o can_v they_o be_v as_o bound_n of_o the_o temperate_a zone_n yet_o do_v he_o better_o allow_v and_o agree_v unto_o that_o that_o the_o tropicke_n be_v bound_n of_o the_o temperate_a zone_n so_o that_o changeable_a limit_n by_o this_o argument_n can_v be_v appoint_v as_o bound_n to_o unchangeable_a place_n 4_o they_o divide_v together_o with_o the_o
