A05102	The third volume of the French academie contayning a notable description of the whole world, and of all the principall parts and contents thereof: as namely, of angels both good and euill: of the celestiall spheres, their order and number: of the fixed stars and planets; their light, motion, and influence: of the fower elements, and all things in them, or of them consisting: and first of firie, airie, and watrie meteors or impressions of comets, thunders, lightnings, raines, snow, haile, rainebowes, windes, dewes, frosts, earthquakes, &c. ingendered aboue, in, and vnder the middle or cloudie region of the aire. And likewise of fowles, fishes, beasts, serpents, trees with their fruits and gum; shrubs, herbes, spices, drugs, minerals, precious stones, and other particulars most worthie of all men to be knowen and considered. Written in French by that famous and learned gentleman Peter de la Primaudaye Esquier, Lord of the same place, and of Barree: and Englished by R. Dolman.; Academie françoise. Part 3.

equal_a can_v have_v equal_a ascension_n even_o in_o the_o right_a sphere_n it_o be_v necessary_a that_o the_o say_v twelve_o hour_n both_o of_o day_n and_o night_n shall_v be_v unequal_a one_o to_o

by_o the_o spiritual_a we_o mean_v those_o that_o have_v no_o body_n and_o can_v be_v perceive_v by_o corporal_a sense_n as_o be_v angel_n or_o devil_n and_o the_o soul_n or_o spirit_n of_o man_n

artificial_a day_n of_o what_o length_n soever_o they_o be_v there_o rise_v above_o the_o horizon_n six_o sign_n of_o the_o zodiac_n begin_v at_o the_o true_a place_n of_o the_o sun_n and_o the_o other_o six_o sign_n which_o begin_v at_o the_o opposite_a point_n do_v rise_v in_o the_o night_n time_n because_o that_o the_o zodiac_n and_o horizon_n be_v great_a circle_n of_o the_o sphere_n which_o do_v always_o divide_v one_o another_o equal_o and_o according_a as_o with_o the_o six_o elevate_v sign_n by_o day_n or_o night_n any_o part_n or_o quantity_n of_o the_o equinoctial_a do_v arise_v above_o the_o horizon_n either_o more_o or_o less_o by_o so_o much_o the_o artificial_a day_n and_o night_n be_v of_o short_a or_o long_a continuance_n so_o that_o the_o ascension_n of_o the_o elevate_v sign_n by_o day_n be_v the_o true_a measure_n of_o the_o artificial_a day_n and_o the_o ascension_n of_o the_o other_o elevate_v sign_n by_o night_n be_v the_o measure_n thereof_o because_o then_o that_o in_o the_o right_a sphere_n together_o with_o the_o moiety_n or_o one_o half_a of_o the_o zodiac_n wheresoever_o it_o begin_v the_o moiety_n of_o the_o equinoctial_a do_v precise_o rise_v above_o the_o horizon_n for_o this_o cause_n therefore_o the_o artificial_a day_n be_v equal_a to_o the_o night_n in_o the_o say_v right_a sphere_n so_o that_o all_o the_o revolution_n of_o
