opinion_n there_o be_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o difference_n especial_o in_o the_o supputation_n of_o the_o aspect_n the_o opinion_n of_o regiomontanus_n be_v partly_o true_a for_o the_o ray_n be_v indeed_o extend_v in_o their_o orb_n but_o not_o before_o nor_o after_o or_o any_o other_o place_n than_o where_o they_o pass_v or_o in_o the_o way_n of_o those_o star_n that_o receive_v their_o ray_n in_o the_o circle_n where_o they_o be_v move_v blanchinus_n opinion_n of_o the_o quantity_n and_o distance_n of_o ray_n in_o longitude_n from_o the_o star_n behold_v partly_o agree_v with_o regiomontanus_n but_o for_o the_o fictitious_a circle_n that_o he_o have_v imagine_v in_o which_o he_o say_v the_o ray_n be_v contain_v and_o out_o of_o which_o their_o ray_n have_v no_o power_n nor_o virtue_n be_v whole_o false_a and_o erroneous_a for_o the_o ray_n be_v extensive_a and_o every_o star_n meet_v the_o ray_n of_o the_o other_o star_n in_o its_o own_o way_n where_o it_o be_v move_v as_o you_o may_v see_v by_o the_o former_a diagram_n of_o the_o moon_n be_v way_n in_o the_o prick_a circle_n i_o do_v not_o deny_v the_o intersection_n of_o the_o ecliptic_a and_o orbit_n of_o a_o star_n but_o i_o deny_v the_o consequence_n they_o draw_v from_o it_o that_o the_o square_a of_o that_o star_n must_v of_o necessity_n fall_v on_o the_o point_n where_o the_o two_o circle_n pass_v which_o in_o the_o diagram_n precede_v be_v in_o the_o point_n ☋_o for_o the_o ☽_o hence_o it_o be_v plain_a they_o do_v suppose_v the_o star_n always_o to_o be_v in_o the_o extremity_n of_o his_o latitude_n or_o 90_o degree_n from_o his_o nodes_fw-la for_o otherwise_o the_o position_n they_o lie_v down_o be_v false_a as_o for_o example_n let_v mars_n have_v 2_o degree_n of_o north_n latitude_n as_o in_o january_n 1691_o 2_o his_o north_n node_n be_v then_o in_o taurus_n if_o so_o then_o how_o come_v it_o to_o pass_v that_o his_o square_n according_a to_o their_o false_a rule_n fall_v in_o the_o ecliptic_a or_o in_o the_o point_n of_o intersection_n for_o one_o of_o his_o square_n fall_v in_o pisces_fw-la and_o the_o other_o in_o virgo_fw-la and_o beside_o if_o the_o star_n have_v latitude_n i_o know_v no_o reason_n but_o all_o his_o aspect_n ought_v to_o have_v it_o likewise_o and_o that_o without_o halve_v and_o quarter_a it_o as_o they_o do_v by_o this_o new_a project_n at_o the_o time_n beforemention_v mars_n be_v in_o 15_o degree_n of_o gemini_fw-la and_o his_o north_n node_n be_v in_o 19_o degree_n of_o taurus_n now_o by_o their_o rule_n how_o be_v it_o possible_a that_o his_o square_n can_v fall_v in_o the_o ecliptic_a for_o his_o square_n fall_v in_o 15_o degree_n of_o virgo_fw-la on_o the_o one_o side_n and_o in_o 15_o degree_n of_o pisces_fw-la on_o the_o other_o and_o his_o south_n node_n be_v in_o 19_o degree_n of_o scorpio_n so_o that_o both_o nodes_fw-la be_v far_o distant_a from_o both_o his_o square_n and_o the_o intersection_n must_v be_v in_o his_o nodes_fw-la or_o near_o they_o but_o then_o let_v we_o construe_v it_o most_o favourable_o on_o their_o side_n and_o suppose_v it_o to_o be_v as_o they_o say_v in_o every_o particular_a as_o to_o the_o line_n be_v draw_v through_o the_o body_n of_o the_o star_n and_o that_o it_o intersect_v the_o ecliptic_a at_o 90_o degree_n from_o that_o star_n and_o that_o the_o sextiles_fw-la and_o trine_n have_v half_a latitude_n to_o the_o body_n as_o they_o say_v they_o have_v why_o here_o their_o cause_n will_v appear_v more_o vain_a than_o before_o for_o in_o the_o other_o acceptation_n there_o be_v two_o circle_n allow_v that_o be_v the_o ecliptic_a and_o orbit_n but_o here_o their_o line_n be_v whole_o imaginary_a without_o any_o ground_n in_o nature_n they_o suppose_v that_o which_o be_v not_o for_o though_o i_o allow_v the_o star_n to_o move_v always_o in_o his_o orb_n yet_o i_o deny_v that_o to_o be_v such_o a_o line_n as_o they_o imagine_v and_o that_o it_o do_v not_o cut_v the_o ecliptic_a at_o 90_o degree_n from_o the_o star_n body_n or_o very_o seldom_o nor_o have_v the_o star_n the_o same_o latitude_n in_o the_o same_o sign_n at_o one_o time_n that_o they_o have_v at_o another_o for_o it_o depend_v as_o well_o on_o their_o distance_n from_o the_o sun_n as_o from_o their_o nodes_fw-la as_o to_o its_o quantity_n as_o to_o this_o circle_n draw_v from_o the_o body_n of_o the_o star_n to_o the_o diameter_n and_o cut_v the_o ecliptic_a according_a to_o their_o fancy_n it_o be_v whole_o fictitious_a vain_a and_o imaginary_a and_o without_o any_o ground_n in_o nature_n as_o did._n pritt_n well_o observe_v when_o he_o say_v the_o quadrate_n ray_n according_a to_o regiomontanus_n take_v no_o notice_n of_o the_o ecliptic_a because_o the_o great_a circle_n do_v always_o cut_v one_o another_o equal_o according_a to_o the_o obliquity_n they_o be_v in_o one_o to_o another_o and_o this_o will_v appear_v plain_a and_o easy_a to_o be_v understand_v by_o suppose_v three_o or_o four_o planet_n in_o the_o same_o degree_n of_o any_o sign_n have_v divers_a latitude_n here_o their_o square_n will_v all_o fall_v in_o one_o sign_n and_o degree_n

to_o examine_v our_o author_n by_o who_o we_o have_v be_v misinform_v and_o also_o mislead_v and_o if_o upon_o the_o whole_a we_o find_v any_o cause_n to_o dissent_v and_o differ_v from_o they_o
