a litle of Mercurie The Rauen after Ptholomie hath seauen stars being of the third fourth and fift bignesse which in Ptholomies time were all in Virgo in our time are in Libra hauing the quality of Saturne and Mars The cellestiall figure named the Aulter doeth Aratus place in heauen vnder that beast called the Woolfe neare to the South and standing vnder the taile of Scorpius To this figure doth Ptholomie assigne seauen stars that in his time were in Scorpio of the fourth and fift magnitude but in our time are in Sagitarius and haue the quality of Venus and a litle of Mercurie The image named the Centaur is thus described of Aratus that the parts of this image likned to the man do ly within the signe Scorpius but the hinder halfe likened to the Horse lyeth or standeth vnder the Klees And is likened to one hauing his right hande continually open towarde the round aulter And as one offering sacrifice on the aulter which sacrifice the monster holding in his right hande to offer on the aulter they call a wilde beast In that monster or Centaur named of Hyginus Chiron doth Ptholomie number 37. starres of the first second third fourth and fift magnitude which in his time were all in Libra but in our time in Libra and Scorpio The starres standing fashioned in the forme of a man haue the quality of Venus and Mars and those which represent the forme of a horse are of the nature of Iupiter and Venus The image named the celestiall Wolfe doeth the Centaur séeme to hold yet it is a seuerall constellation from the other To which Ptholomie doth assigne 19. stars being of the thirde fourth and fift magnitude that in his time were in Libra and Scorpio and in our time are all in Scorpio The celestial figure named the Riuer streached from Orion doe some name Eridanus which otherwise Padus some Gyon or Nylus and some Oceanus To this Riuer Eridanus that commeth from the left foote of Orion doeth Ptholomie giue 34. starres of the first thirde fourth and fifte bignesse that in his time were in Aries and Taurus and in our time in Aries Taurus and Gemini The last star of the 34. in the rowe of the first magnitude hath the quality of Iupiter and all the others are of the nature of Saturne The long Ship named Argo not the whole forme of it is described or seene among the stars in that it is deuided from the fore part vnto the mast that may signifie to men litle to dispayre although the Shippe happen to breake Aratus writeth that the fore halfe of Argo is turned about right with the taile of the great Dogge But in a contrary order mooued in that the fore halfe is séene and the other halfe hid much like a ship rising with the swelling of the Sea whose fore halfe is séene and the other halfe hid through that hinder parte darkned or hidde and without stars To the ship Argo doth Ptholomie ascribe 45. stars of the 1. 2. 3. 4. and 5. magnituds The greater of these in order 44. of the first bignesse is that star named of the Arabians Rubail of the Latines Canopus which standeth at the end of the Rother stéerer of the shippe that in Ptholomies time was in the 17. degrée and 10. minutes of Gemini hauing the Southerly latitude 75. degrées and the declination Southerly 51. degrées and 41. minutes And in our time is almost in the 7. degrée of Cancer hauing his latitude Southerly 75. degrees and declination of 51. degrées and 34. minutes All the other stars are of the quality of Saturne and Iupiter and were by Ptholomies time vnto our time in Gemini Cancer Leo and Virgo The celestiall Hare placed vnder the féete of Orion is as hee were running before the houndes of Orion being fained to be a hunter To this celestiall figure doth Ptholomie assigne 12. stars of the thirde fourth and fift magnitude that in his time were in Taurus and Gemini and in our time are all in Gemini and haue the quality of Saturne and Mercurie The image named Ingula and also Orion lieth thwart vnder to the section of Taurus and hath starres standing and shining before the féete of Tautus named Orion of the worde Vrina that is of the floude of waters For in the winter time when this image or constellation ariseth he troubleth both the Sea and Land with showers of raine and tempests The Romanes also name him Ingula for that he appeareth armed as girded with a sword whose shape is terrible and most cleare to be séen in the shining of the stars For if it shineth bright and cleare then doth it portend fayre weather to follow if it appeare dimme then doth it threaten a tempest to ensue The head of this signe is drawn by thrée stars of which the two cleare stars are called the shoulders betwéene which stars the necke is imagined to be ane thereof named Ingular Plinie doth often make mention of Orion as of his rising and setting whole and in some places of part as his gyrdle or sword Also he doth number Orion among the fearefull stars causing tempests To this Orion doth Ptholomie assigne 31. stars which whiles hee liued were all in Taurus and Gemini of the 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. and 6. magnitude and one cloudy The second star is of the first bignesse and the thirde is of the sedond bignesse in the order of the stars of Orion which are in the shoulders and haue the quality of Mars and Mercurie The constellation named the Zone or gyrdle of Orion hath thrée stars shining very bright of the second greatnesse in the order of the stars of Orion beeing the 26. 27. and 28. That figure named his sworde hath 6. stars of the third and fourth bignesse decked in the order 29. 30. 31. 32. 33. and 34. The figure named the Clubbe that Orion bare in his right hand when he fought with the dreadfull Bull that possesseth foure stars of the fifte and sixt bignesse In the order 9. 10. 11. and 12. of these the 9. and 10. are in the right hand Further the other stars either of the first or second bignesse as the 26 27. and 28. bee of the nature of Iupiter and Saturne But the other stars which are in the 3. 4. 5. and 6. and the cloudy star do imitate the quality of Saturne the 35. which is on his left foote is of the Arabians named Rigel of the first bignesse and referred to the nature of Iupiter but the others vnto the quality of Iupiter and Saturne The auncient astronomers placed two Dogges in heauen as they were following the Hare running of which the one they named Procion and the other the Dag The image named Proceon in English the fore-Dogge hath no other name with the Romanes thē the Caniculer that is the lesser Dog And of Tully in fragmentis Arati hée is named the fore-Dog But the other doeth Aratus place vnder the hinder féete

the holow vpper face of the moones Orbe that reacheth vnto the hollow vpper face of the highest heauen being most pure perfitte rounde continually caried about and bright appearing This parte of the world being the Etheriall region is named heauen which alwaies drawne about by a meruelous swiftnesse is deuided into nine Orbes or Spheres Although sundry Astronomers as Alphonsus Iohannes de monte regio Purbachius and others haue added a tenth Sphere through the third contrary motion founde in the eighth Sphere named of Thebit benchore the first inuenter of the same Motus trepidationis or the going and comming of the eight Sphere The first and vppermost Orbe is named the first moouer The second is that which is named the ninth Sphere or Christaline heauen but of Ptholomy named the firmament or Orbe of the fixed starres And the thirde is that which of them named the eight Sphere onely added through that motion of the trembling or as it were a mouing foorth and returne of that eight Sphere which properly is caused in the two small Circles about the heades or beginnings of Aries and Libra through which diuerse motion of the eight Sphere do the Equinoctials and Solstices come and beginne sooner by certaine daies and the suns greatest declination deminished and dayly doeth to that in Ptholomie and Hipparcus time which then was 23. degrées and 52. minutes and 30. seconds And for these haue Alphonsus and sundry others attributed diuers motions to the eight Sphere adding a ninth and tenth Sphere to it That there are but eight celestiall Orbs which may be seene ALthough Ptholomy affirmeth that there are nyne Orbs equally distant yet are there but eight which may perfectly be séene and decerned with the eie both in the standing variety of motions and differing in the periodes or courses Also they are in such order disposed that no Orbe hindereth the motion of another néere to it As the Sphere of the fixed stars and the seauen Orbs of the Planets And most certaine it is that some of the fixed stars are drawn by a swifter motion and others by a slower motion and that the Apogea or ascentions also of the Planets are changed after the order of the signes The Orbs of the Planets thus containe and compasse one an other as first the Sphere of Saturne being nighest the firmament of which being compassed doeth like containe Iupiters sphere and Iupiters doth in the same maner inclose Marses sphere and Marses in like order the sunnes sphere nexte the suns doeth containe Venus sphere which like doth compasse Mercuries sphere and Mercuries doeth containe the Moones sphere being the lowest and smallest sphere And euery of these spheres hath a star a péece named eractical stars or planets which stars haue euery one their proper Orbe seueral his motion seueral and vnlike in time one to another in that they appeare one whiles néere togither and another whiles are séene far distant asunder By which it agréeth that their equall motions to appeare to vs vnequall either through the Poles of the Circles diuers from the Poles of the worlde about which they bée turned as are the Poles of the Zodiacke vnder which the eratical stars are continually drawn and moue rather for that the earth is not the Center of those Orbes by which the Planets are caried and moued about So that when we consider those mouings by the Center of the worlde then is caused that they séeme to vs as they were encreased in a greater bignesse when as we beholde and sée them néere hand and that lesser in bignesse when we sée them placed far off Euen so in the equal circumferences of the Orbes through the diuers distance of sight wée like obserue the vnequall motions by the equall times Yet indéede neyther of these happeneth but that they are drawne aboute by vnchangeable spaces beeing a like distant and kéeping one manner of bignesse For if this were then the sun or any other star being in the middle of heauen should séeme or appeare bigger which it doth not then being in the East or West part And the contrary we sundry times sée when as the sun or any other star appeareth bigger in the quarters of the East and West which is not caused by reason of the shorter distance but for that his beames in the vapors which doe thicke ascend both in the winter time and in raynie weather that hang in the ayre betwéene our sight and the body of the star are then broken which breaking of them doth cause the star to appeare far bigger to the eie then in déede the same is And that a readier and easier knowledge may bee had after the mind of Ptholomie of the first moouer and celestial Orbs with the number of the Circles and Elements inclosed within the first moouer conceiue this figure here following most aptly drawn and set out for thy further instruction This Figure declareth the number disposition and order of the celestiall Spheres about the Globe of the Earth That there are two first motions of the celestiall Orbs. ALthough the celestiall Orbs are seuerally drawne by proper and vnlike motions yet be there two first motions that are manifest both by obseruation and iudgement of the eie The one is of the first mouer which Ptholomy attributeth to the ninth Sphere that is onely drawn about by an equall swiftnesse from the East into the west and from thence againe into the East vppon the Poles of the worlde or Equatour in the space of a naturall day or 24. houres And this first mouer draweth with it al the other Orbs much like a ship which being at full saile doth drawe and cary al her men other liuing things which are in the Shippe So that by this motion of the first moouer the neather Orbes which the first mouer compasseth are drawn once euery naturall day or in the space of a day and night about the earth Also this first mouer doeth not onely describe and measure a naturall day but causeth times and diuersities of dayes and nights with the proper motion of the sun and it dayly bringeth vp stars to be séene and carieth vp to the highest and after hideth them againe vnder our Horizont in the west Besides it is the common measure of al the other motions The other motion is proper to the eight Sphere and to the Orbs of the seauen Planets in the which they are contrarily caried to the first mouer as from the west into the east in mouing vnder the Zodiacke and about the Poles of the same and not in Parallels from the Equatour equally seperated but are drawne much slower yea and vnlike As by a like example when a ship by a most swift course is caried into the west yet may the Mariners and others in the ship walke forwarde in the meane time into the East Euen so is this second motion of all the other Spheres vnder the Zodiack vpon the Poles of the Eclipticke Also by a swifter motion
