Then cometh February, and then the days
lengthen, and theSun is more hotter ; then the
felds begin to war green. So the other üç years
till he come to twelve , the Child beginneth to
grow bigger, and is apt to learn ſuch things as

Then cometh the month of March, in which
the Labourer Coweth the Earth , and planteth
Trées, and edifieth Houles. The Child in theſe

and to be fair and pleaſant, and loving ; for then
he is eighteen years ofage.
LChen cometh April, that the Earth and the

Then cometh the young man to gather (weet

where both the Poles -yave evenlike ſcituation

28. Ofthe Circle of the Sphear.
Someof theCircles

ver the Poles. The Parallels are they that hath
the Caine Poles as the world bath , and there
be five Parallel Circles, the artick, the Eſtival
Tropick,the Equinoctial. The Artick Circle is
even the greateſt of all thoſe Circles that we
have continually in light, and be ſcarcely toucha
eth
eth the horizon in the point, and is altogether
pzelented above the earth.
And all the ſtars that are included in this Tits
cle neither riſe nog let, but a man fhall elpie
them all the night long, keep their courſe round
about the Pole. And that Circle in our habita
fion is drawn of the furtheft foot Urſa Mayor,
The Eftival Circle , , moltpothward ofall the
Circles that be made of the Sun, whom when
the Sun removeth into, he turneth back from
his summer Circuit, then is the longett day of
all the year , and the thojtett night ; and after
the Summer return, the Sun ſhall not be pers
ceived , to progreſs any further toward the
Porth,but rather to recoil to the contrary parts
of the world : wherefore in Greece this Circle ig
called Tropocos ; the Equinoctial Circle is the
mott greateſt of all the five parallel Circles, t is
ſo parted by the Horiſon, that the one halfCircle
isabove the earth, the other half circle lieth un,
der the bolizon. The Sun being in his Circle,
cauleth two Equinoctials, the one in the fpying,
and the other in the harvext . Che Buntal Cro
pick is a Circle inott South of all the Cireles,
that by the moving of the world, be deſcribed
ofthe Sun ; which when the Sun is once entred
into , he returneth back from his winters
Progrebis ; then is the longeſt night and the
fhojtett day in all the year. And beyond this
WUinter mark , the Sun progretteth never a
whit further, but goeth into the other Coafts of
the World: wherefore this Ctrele is alſo named
Trevi
Trevicos as who to ſay, returnable. Che Antar
tick Circle is equal in- quantity and diſtance
with the artick Circle, and toucheth the Holis
zon in onepoint, and his courſe is altogether un
derneath the Earth, and the Stars that be plas
ced in this, arealways invilible unto us. The
greateſt ofall the ſaid Circles is the Equinocis
al, and then the Tropicks,and the leatt ( I mean
in our Habitation ) are the articks : Ănd theſe
1 Circles muſt be underfood without dyedth ; and
be reaſoned of, accoiding to the leituation of the
Stars, and by the beholding of the Dioptra, and
but ſuppoſed only in our Imagination ; foz there
is no circle teen in all the Heaven, but only Ga
laxias. As for all the rett, they be conceived by
imagination.
3 29. The Reaſon why that five Parallel Circles
1 are only in the Sphear.
Ive Parallel Circles alone are wont to be
F deſcribed in the Sphear, not becauſe there be
no moje parallels than thole in all the world. Foz
2 the Sun maketh every day one Parallel Circle,
equally ditant to the Equinodial, (which may
bɛ well perceived ) with the turning of the
1 Would,inlomuch that a 128 parallel Circles are
twice deſcribed of the Sun between the Tros
picks , foz lo many days are within the two tes
turns , and all the tars are taily carried withal
round about in the parallel circles: Igowbeit eves
ry oneof them cannot be ſet out in the Sphear.
And though they be profitable in divers
things
62 The Book of Knowlege .
things in Aſtrology, yet it is impoßible that the
Starsmay be deſcribed in the Spheac ; without
all the parallel circles, or that the inagnitude on
days and nights may be preciſely found out with
out the ſame parallels . But in as much as they
be not deemed to be lo neceſary foithe firtt in
troducon of Aſtrology , they are left'out of the
Sphear. But the five Parallel Círcles forcer;
tain ſpecial inſtructions are echibited . The Ar:
tick cttcle fevereth the ffars, which we ever lét ,
the Etival Tropick containeth the going back
of the Sun , and it is the furthermolt part of the
progrels in the Porth , and the Equinoctial cir:
cle containeth the Equinodials, and the qumal
Tropick , is the furthernoff point of the way of
theSun foward the South , and it is even the
mark of the wui inter return. The antartick
cirele determineth the Stars, whom we cannot
Lee. And ſeeing that they are very erpedient foj
the Introdución into Aſtrology , they be right
worthy to take room in the Spheat.

30. Ofthe five greater Circles ; Of the appear
ance and non-appearance of theiri.
Llo the ſaid äve parallel circles; the Netick
circle appeareth altogether above the earth ,
and the Eftival Iropick Circle is divided into
two parts of the Horizon , whereofthe greater
part is above the earth , and the letter lighteth
underneath it. Neither is this tropick circle
Squally divided of the Wozilon in every down

and Country, but according to the variety of
the regions ; it hath diverfities ofuphiling, and
this Eſival Circle is more unequally divided in
it thé Houzon to them that dwell ngacer the forth
than wedo : and further, there is a place where
the Ettival Tropick is wholly a ove the earth,
and unto them that draw nearer unto the South
than we, the Etival Dropick is inoue unevenly
parted in our nouzon. Furthermore, there is a
fit coalt ( but fouth from us ) wherein the Tropick
circle is equally divided of the Bouizont Butin
pur habitation the Ettival Tropick is lo divided
C1 of tte Horizon,that the whole circle being dívida
11 ed intoeight parts, five pacts thall be above the
刊DE
earth, and three under the earth. And indeed it
lámeth that Aratus meant this climate, when
as he wrote his book of Phelomenon ; whereas
y
he ſpeaking of the Eſtival Iropick Circle, faith
on this wife.
When the Circle divided is into eight parts,

even juſt
Five parts above the Earth, and three under
neath , remain needs muſt
The reſtleſs Sun, in Summer hot, from this re
turneth back
Andfo of this diviſionit followety, the day to

be offifteen Equinoctial hours , and thenight of
ningEquinodial yours long: and in the Holizon
of Rhodes, the Eſtival Tropick is ſo divided of
the Horizon , that the whole Circle being diví
3r Deo
ded into eightán parts , there ſhall appear 29 di:
vilions above the lovijon ', and nineteen under
the earth , by which diviſion it appeareth that
the longett day in the Rhodes hath but fourteen
Equinoctialhouts in it, and the eight,nine Equis
nodial hours , with two half hours move belde.
The Equinoctial Circle in every Habitation is
fo juily divided in the middelt by the Horizon ,
that the one half Circle is above the earth, and
the other half Circle underneath the earth. And
this is the cauſe that the Equinoctials happen
always in this Circle. The Buumal Tropick
Circle is to divided of theHorizon, that the letter
part shall beabove the earth and the greater part
under the earth ; and the unequality ofdivilions
Hath even like divertity in all Climates, as it is
Tuppoſed to be in the Exival Tropick Circle :
and by this means the diviſions of both the Iro
pical circles be preciſely correſpondent each to
other : hy reaſon whereof the longeſt day is of
one length with the longet night and the ſhort:
elt day equal with the fhoztelt night. The Antar
tick circle Iyeth every whit under thepolizon.
31. Of the bigneſs of the five Pa
rallel Circles .
ut oftheſaid five parallel circles, ſome keep
ftill the ſame bignels throughout all the
world, and of come the bignelsis altered by reas
ſon ofthe Climates , fo that ſome circles be bigs
gec then other, and ſome letter than other. The
Tropick circles and the equinodial dono where
alter their quantities , but the Articks vary in
bignels
bignels , foz Comewhere they appear bigger, and
ſomewhere leller. Fo2unto the nothward dweta
lers, the artick circles léem bigger,the Pole ben
ing raiſed on high , the Artick Circle touching
the Horizon , mutt needs alſo appear bigger and
bigger continually , and unto them that dwell
! further north , ſometime the Eſtival Tropick
fhall increale the artick Circle, ſo that the Élia
bal Circle and the artick alſo met together, and
be taken but inttead ofone. And in places that
be yet further Porth, the Artick circles thall ap
pear greater than the Ettival Tropick circle : but
there is a place ſo far Pouth, where the Pole
* appeačeth over head , and the artick Circle ſér
3. veth foz the Horizon,and remaineth with it in the
moving of the world,and is as wide as the Equi :
noctialzinſomuch that the thréz circles (to ſay )the
Artick , the Equinodial, and the Hojizon, be pla
ced in one order and itituation . Again , to them
that dwell moje South , the Poles appear inoje
% lower, and the Artick Circles leder. Yet again ,
I there is a place being South in reſpect of us ,
which lieth under the Equinodial , when the
Poles be under the youizon ,and the artick Cirs
cles are altogether gone ; ſo that of the five pas
1 rallel Circles , theve remain but thú Circles ,
Ở that is the two Tropicks and theEquinoctial.
32. Ofthe Number ofthe Parallels.
D K all týeữe ſpeeches, it is not to be thought
Fa
thatthere continuesis: parallels always, bat
í fo niany to be imagined fou our habitations Cakes
- fouin Lomebolizons, there be but 3: Parallels
F2 onte;
only, and there be habitations on Earth, where
the Eſtival wropick circle toucheth the Horizon ,
and even foz the Lropick Circle is the ſecond ta.
ken , which is called the Habitation under the
Pole. Ihe third Vabitation , of whom we(pake
a little before , which is named the Habitation
under the Equinodial.
33. OftheOrder of thefive Parallel Circles.
He orderof the five parallel circles is not e
“ 整 very where the ſame,but in our Habitation ;
the filft thall be called the artick, the ſecond the
Efival Tropick, the third the Equinoctial, the
fourth the Buurnal,the fifth the anatartick : But
to them that dwell moze Porth than we, Comes
time the firk is accounted as the Ettival Tro
pick, the ſecond is the artick, the third as the
Equinoctial, the fourth, as the Aiitartick , the
fifth as the Buumal Dropick ; and becauſe the
Artick Cirele is wider than the Équinodial, the
Caid older muft needs be oblerved :
34. Of the Power of the five Parallels.
kewiſe , neither are the powers of the ſame
five parallel Circles alike. For the Circle
that is our Cítival Tropick , is to them that
dwell in a contrary Habitation , the Blumal
Tropick. Contrariwiſe, that which unto them
is theEtival Tropick Circle, is the BBzumat
Cropick unto us. But ſuch as dwell under the
Équinodial, even the three Circles be in power
Eſtival Lropicks unto them; I mean them that
dwell jutt under the courſe of the Sun ,faz in con
ferring one to another, that which is the Equis
nodia !
The Book of Knowledge . 63
nocial with us , ſhall be the Ettival Tropick
Circle.and both the Tropicks ſhall be Bumals .
So then the Eftival Tropick Circle may be ſaid
by nature univerſally all theWouldover , which
is neft to the Habitation. Therefore, unto them
thatdwell under the Equinodial, the Equinoctia
al it ſelf ſerveth for the Eftival Tropick , as
wherein the Sun hath his courſe direaly over
I! their head ,and all the parallel Circles ſhall take
the rom ofthe Equinocials, being divided byes
qual diviſions in the Dojízon .
35 . Ofthe ſpace between the Parallels.
either the Ipaces of the Circlt one from
the other, do remain in the ſamethroughout
all Habitations, but after the defcription of the
| Sphears they are diſculed on this Colt. Let any
Meridian be divided into firty parts, the Artick
ſhall be divided from the Pole ürty fit parts off;
† and the faine on the other fide ihall be dirty five
parts diſtant from the Caival, and the Equinos
stial thall be from either' of the Poles ärty fouc
diviſions off. The Bumal Eropickcircle tand
i eth froin the Antartick firty five parts off. Peis
ther have theſe circles the Came diſtance between
them in every Town and Country ; but the
Lropicks in every declination ihall have even
I like ſpace from the Equinocial, yet have not the
tropicks equal ſpace from the Articks at every
B Houzon, but in ſome place leſs, and in ſome place
moze diſtance.
Likewiſe, the Articks have not in every declis
11 nation one certain ſpace from the Poles Toin
, but
다. F 3 es
fomewhere leſs , and ſomewhere none. All the
Sphears bemadefor the Horizon of Greece.
36. Ofthe Colours.
There are Circles that go croſs overthwart
the Poles , which of ſome men are called
Colours, and they be ſo framed, that they cons
tain within their Circuit the Poles of the would
and be called Colours ,by reaſon of thoſe postions
of them that are not cán. And for other Circles,
they be ſeen whole , the Wutould moving round as
Fout. And there are certain parts of the colours
inviſible ; even thoſe parts that from the Antar:
tick lie hid under the horizon : and theſe circles
he ligned by the Tropical points, and then divis
ded into two equal parts ofthe Circles that pals
ſeth though the midtt ofthe Zodiack.
37. OftheSodiack .
be Circle of the twelve Signs is obliqué,
and is compounded of three parallel circles,
of whom twoare ſaid to thew the breadth of the
Zodiack , and one is called palling thozow the
middeft Signs : thus touchety he the two equal
circles and parallels , the Erfval Tropick in the
firſtdegree ofCancer, and the Blumal Tropick
in the firt degré of Capricorn . The breadth of
the Zodiack is twelve degrés. This Circle is
called oblique, becauſe he palleth over the parala
} elsawzy:
38. Of the Horizon.
He Horizon is a Circle that divideth part of
the would, ſeen from the part that cannot be
ten ;
ſeen :To hedivideth the whole Sphear of the world
into two parts , even that he leaveth theone half
( phear above the garth, agd the other half (phea r
underneath the earth . And there be 2 Horizons:
one ſenlible, the other imagined by underttand
ing , the Tenthle Horizon is that which ofour
lgbt is limited at the uttermott ofour knowing.
So that this Diameter is not paſſing a thouſand
furlongs even throughout. Thebovizon that is
imaginedby underftanding, is forthe ſpeculatis
on ofthe Sphear of the fired Stars, and he divis
deththewhole world into two parts. Wherefore
there is not the Cama Qorizon throughout every
Habitation and Town, but to a ma is witting,
he remaineth the Came for the pace of four hun
Diedfurlongsalmott. So that the lengthof the
days, the Climates, and all the appearances res
main the ſame till ; but with the inoue number
. offurlongs ; for the diverſity of the Habitation,
the Horizon, the Climate; -yea, and all theappa
cances ſhall vary, Cothen change , and habitatis
on muft neds happen in going Southward or
fouthward beyondfour hundred furlongs . And
they that dwell in one parallel, for every ercéd
ing great number have a new Horizon, but they
keep the ſamelunate, and all the appearances :
Likewiſe the beginnings and endings of days ,
change not atthe Celfſame time to all that dwell
in the ſame Parallel. But after very eract cus
riotity, the leatt moving in the world hither 02
thither , even fou every point the Vodigon is
71 changed ; the Climate and the Appäránces do

vary. The bolizon in the Sphears not after the
manner deſcribed , for all the other Circles are
* carried together from Catt.to wweft with the
moving ofthe world , and the Holizon isiminoves

the ſame ſcituation. And ſo if the Horizon weré

ligned for the Circle Galaxias is leftout inmany
Spheara, and it is one of the greateſt Circles ;
and they be called the greateſt Circles , which
have the ſame center which the Sphear hath. And
there be lebtmofthe greateft Circles, the Equis
noctial, the Bodiack , that which goeth through
theniot ofthe Signs, and that which goeth by
the Poles, the lgouzonof every Habitation , the
Beridian , and theCircle Galaxias.
tre 30. Of the five Zones.
De putward fafhion of the Earth is tphere
he
which are above the Poles are called the cold
Zones , becauſethey be very far from under the
courſe of the Sun , änd be little inhabited , by
rčalont of the great cold ; and their coinpals is
from the artick to the Poles -ward ; and the
Zones that be nert unto them , becauſe they he
mealurably {cituate towards the courſe of the
Sun, be called temperate, and above in the firs
mament uponthe Tropick and Artick Circles ,
be
between whom they lye. Now the fifth , which
among the four Caid Circles is middlemoit, foz
that it lighteth under the way of the Sun , is
named the hot, and it is divided ofthe Equinodi
al ofthe earth into two, which Iyeth all about una
1 der' the Horizon in the franie of the Sphear.
43. Of the Meridian Circles.
I He Beridian is a Circle that gocth thorow
T the Poles ofthe world, and thożow the point
that is jutt over our head. In whom when the
Sun is come to , he cauleth mid-day and mid
e night . And this Circle is alſo iniminoveable in
I the world , as long as the ſelf Caine (cituation is
kept in all moveing of the możld. Peither is
this Circle drawn in a Sphear that be printed
with ttars , becauſe he is immoveable and res
ceiveth no mutation , but is mans conjecture
3 by wit , for three hundred Furlongs álmot, the
Beridian abideth the ſame, but after a mole
better eras imagination , for every ſtep either
T Ealt og WWeft , maketh another Geridian : but
go pogth or South ,even ten thouſand Fozlongs,
and the fame geridian fhallcerve.
41. Ofthe Circle Galaxias.

fubftance of five clouds, and theonly vilblecies
fle in the Heavens, neither is it certain what
bredth it isoff, for it isnarrower in oneplace,
I than in another , and for that caule under the
Equinoctial ofthe would. But on the two tem
perate
perate Zones , one is inhabited of them thatbe
in our Habitation, being in length nigh an huit
Died thouland furlongs and in breadth about half
the ſaine.
42. Of the Celeſtial Signs with their Stars.
TheSigns that be blazed with Stars , are
divided into three parts ; Come of them be
placed in the circle of the Zodiack : Come be cal
led pouthern, and some be called Southern, and
they that be ſcituate in the circle ofthe Zodíack,
Le twelve Beats, whoſe names we have declas
red in another place , in which twelve Beaſts
there are divers Stars, which foz certain nota
ble inarks elpied in them , have taken their
proper Pames ; for the fired ttars that be in the
hack of Taurus be called Pleiades, and the Stars
that be pịaced in the head of Taurus be är in
number, and are calledHyades : And the Stars
that tand before the feet ofGeminy ), are calles
Propus: and the cloud- like ſubſtance, that is in
Cancer, is called Preſepe ; and the two Stars
that ſtand nigh Preſepe, are called Afini; and the
bright Star that is in the heart of Leg (accords
ing to the name ofhis place ) is the Lyons heart ,
and it is called of Tonu men the Royal Star
foy that they thatare born under it, are thought
to have a Royal Nativity. Che Fair Star
than ficketh at the fingers -end of the left hand
of Virgo is called the Spike. But the lictle Star
that isfatned by the right wing of Virgo, is na
medProtigettes. And the four Stars that be at
the righthands -endof Aquarius,calledUrna.Che
Stars
Stars that be ſpread one after another behind
Piſces tail , are called the Lines. And in the
| South Line there are nine Stars , and in the
Roth Line five. The bright Star that is ſeen in
the Lines -end is called Nodus. So many are
I counted foz the Northern , as be ſet betwirt the
| Zodíack and the forth : And they be theſe ;
| Urfa Major, Urſa Minor, Qud Draco that Iyeth
betwirt both Urfa, Arctophylax, Corona, Engo
paſin ,the Serpentine, the Serpent, the Harp,
the Bird, the arrow , the Eagle; the Dolphin,
Protomo Hyppy the boule that ftandeth by Hyp
pacos,Chepheus,Caſſiopeia, Andrómeda, Perſeus,
Auriga, Deltoton. And he that was fellifted of
Callimachus,Bernicks beir . Again ,there be other
Stars, who for certain plain appearances that
they have in them , had their naine given them ,
Foz the notable Stars that Iyeth about the mids
fhanks of the Ardophilar is called Arcturus.
And the ſhining Star that is ſet by the Harp, es
ven by the nanie of the whole lign is called tije
Harp;and the ttars that be at the top of Perfeys
left hand, are named the Gorgones and the thick
(mall fars that are clpied at the right hands
point of Perfeus, make as it were a byth . and
the clear ftar that is ſet in the left ſhoulder ofthe
Driver, is called the Goat. But the twolittle
ſtars that be at the uttermoſt of his hand , be cal
led theKids. And all thoſe ve Southern Signs,
that lie on the South lide ofthe Zodiack. And
their names be thele : Orion ,the Centaurus, the

Crown, which of ſomeis named Uraniſcats;the
Koad that Iyeth byHypparchus. And again , in
theſe there be certain fars that have taken
them proper names. Fou the bright ftar that is
in Prokyon , is called Prokyon ; and the glitter
ing tar that is in the Dogs mouth, for that the
is thought to caule moje fervent heat, is called
the Dog, even by the name of the whole Sign .
The tar that ſhineth in the top of the ttar of Ar
go, is named Canopus : andthis is ſeldom Teen in
the Boades , ercept it be froin high places : But
in Alexandria the is not ſeen at all, where the
fourth part of the lign doth ſcantly appear above
the Holigon .

44. Strange.wonders, moſt worthy of Note.
5R the Country of Cicilia, as the wolthy Cols
mographer Pomponeus Mela reposteth, in the
Innermott places , there is a Province of great
renown. For the diſconfiture of the Perſians by
Alexander, and the flight ofDarius;at that time
þaving in it a famous City called Iffos, whereof
the Bay is named the way of Iffos, but now has
vingnot ſo uruch as a little town. Far from
thence Iyeth the Fozeland Amanoides, between
the Kivers Pyramus and Cydnus, Pyramus being
the
the nearer to Iffos returned by Mailon, and Cyd
nus tunneth out beyond through Tarfus. Lhen is
there a City popelled in old time by the Rhodi
ans, and Argives, and afterward at the appoint
ment of Pompey; called Soloe ; by Pyzates now
Pompeyopole.
31 Hard by, on a little Hill is the Tomb of the
Poet Aratus,worthy to be [ poken of, becauſe itis
unknown, why tones that are catt into it doleap
about :not far from thence is the Town of Cyro
cus, environed with a ſmall balk to the firm land.
Above it is a Cave named Coricus, of fingular
nature, and far mode ercellent than may with
caſe be deſcribed . For gaping with a wide
1 mouth ,even inmediately from the top it openeth,
the Qountain butting upon the Sea, which is of
2 great height, as it were of ten Furlongs : then
going deep down ,and the farther the lat ger; it is
i grøn round aboutwith budding trees,and caft
eth it felf into a great roundvault, on both ades
full of woods, lo imarvellous and beautiful, that
at the firft it amazeth the minds of them that
come into it, and it inaketh them think they have
Reper ( ken enough ofit. There is but one going
down into it , narrow and rough, of a inile and a
halflong , by pleaſant ſhadows and coverts of
wod, yielding à certain rude noiſe, with Kivers
tricklingon either hand. Wuthen ve cometo the
bottom , there again openeth another Cave ,
1 wolthy to be [poken of fou other things. It maks
-1 eth the enterers into it afraid ,with the dinne of
Limbrils, which raite a gably andgreat ratling
with
within , afterward being a while lightlome; and
anon , the further ye go , waring darker, it leads
eth ( ſuch as dare adventure) quite out of Üght,
and carrieth them dép as it 'were in a Pine ,
where a mighty Rjveç riling with a great byeaſt;
doth but only thew it ſelf ,and when ithath guihed
violently a while in a ſhort Channel, finking
down again , and it is no more feen . Whlithin is a
watte (pace , inqje horrible than any man dare
pierce into, and therefore it is unknown . It is
altogether ſtately , and undoubtedly holy , and
both worthy , and alſo believed to be inhabited of
Gods .Every thing preſenteth a řatelineſs, and
Cettethout it ſelf with acertain Bajetty,
there is another beyond, which they call Ty
phos Cave, which is a narrow mouth , and cag
they that have tried it doth repozt) very low, and
therefove dimmed with continual darkneſs , and
not eatie to be ſought out : Wowbeit becauſe it
was ſometime the chamber of the Gyant Typho,
and becanle its now out of hand, ſtifleth ſuch
things as are let down into it, it is worthy to be
mentioned to, the nature thereof, and fou the tale
that is reported of it. Beyond that are two
Fozelands, that is to ſay, Sarpedon, ſometime
the bonds of King Sarpedons Realm ,, and Anle
mutium, which parteth Cicilia from Pamphilia ,
and betwen them Celendris and Natidos. Towns
builded, and peopled by the Samians , whereof
Celendris is nearer to Sarpedon.

The Uſe of the Four pre

ceeding Tables,
Helefour Lables are all to be uſed the ſame
1 way, theic difference being only in the rate
of the profit, which it is fit thould be more in hou
Ces than in lands ; becaule houtes afe fubjed to
be void of Tennants, and many other caſualties
of fire and ruine, which Lands are not. And
therefore I bave (as briefiy as I can )hinted in
the tables, what Table is fittelt in any kind of
purchaſe : not that any one is bound to make his
bargain jultaccording to theſe Rates, but here
by any one may judge ofhis purchaſe, and know
what profit he makes of hisgoney.
The Tables ofthemſelves are ſo plain , that
they need no emplaining , I having herein alto
Bether applyed my ſelf to the uſual way of reckos
ning theſe bargains to be worth to many years
purchaſe. Dnly the year foj moze eraanels, is
divided into 12 months ,and not into 4 quarters.
ThisExamplewill make allplain.
Je it is belred to know what the Leale of a
houle for one and twenty years ig worth in ready
1 aroney to find out this look in the laſt table,
whichis calculated after the rate of 10 per cent,
and is fittet foz Cuch kind of bargains;and in this
table at 21 years , you ſhall find the value of the
pale tobe worth 8 yearsand 8 monthspurchaſe.
$
So thatlet the yearly rent, of value of the houſe
be what it will the ſaid Leaſe of 21 years is
worth eight whole years rent, and almott thrée
quarters of the ſaid yearly rent, which you may
lalily reckon up, and ſo know the true valueof
the purchaſe. And atthis price you ſhall have 10
per Cent. profit foy your money .
I have made theſe cablesto chew the worth
of long Leales alco, becaule moft- men value a
long Leale too much , in reſpect of the value they
Cet upon a fhout Leale. Keckoning a Leale of 21
years to be worth but 7 years, and yet thinking
a Leale of 60 years, to be wodth 12 02'13 years
purchaſe ; whereas you may ſee. by this Table
that though the Leale of 21 years be worth 8
years and 8 months purchafe, yet'the Leale of 60
pears is not worth full ten years purchafe ; may
the Leale of an hundjed years, of theFéesümple
cannot be worth above 10 years purchal , allows
ing the came rate of 101 per cent. for the money,

A brief Diſcourſe of the Cæleftial Part of the

World , of the Diſtances, Magnitudes, Mos

and fixed Stars.
OftheHeaven ofthe fixed Stars,
ALthough(bythe Diurnal motion of thePri
Heaven (as all the other
mum mobile ) this
ph Dabs of the Planets are ) be violently turned as
# bout once in 24 hours , yet they retain a proper
motion to themſelves , which is contrary to the
ti former ; this motion is called natural,becauſe it
- is effected by the proper motion of the Star' od
Planet in its own D2b , and the other motion is
called violent , becauſe it fouceth a motion con
trary to what the thing it Celfin nature would
perform .
This Heaven of the fires Stars is very low
in motion , moving but one degree in 71 years , t
Co is 354 12 years moving through the wholezos
diack : 3t is adoined and beautified with divers
glorious bodies of leveral magnitudes, of which
the ancients have 6 in number : and that the
LE multiplicity of theſe glorious bodies might not
confound the beholders by their irregular ſcitu :
ation , the Ancients have contracted their num
be
ber by the uniting a certain number of them to
gether into the form oz faſhion of cone living

Each of theſe conttellations contain a certain

18 times,ofwhich magnitude there are 208 ſtars.
A ſtar of the fourth gagnitude is greater than
the Globe of the whole earthi i times, of which
Bagnitude there are 244 ftars. A tar of the fifth
magnitude is greaterthan the Globe of the whole

In witneſs whereof, I have hereunto fet my
Hand and Seal, the day of the year firſtat
bove written, Pleaſant
EA Pleaſant Queſtions in Arithmetick .

Queft. 1. To tell the number that anotherman
ſhallthink , be it never ſo great.
Et the party that thinketh double the num
ber which he thought, which done, bid him
multiply the ſum ofthem both by 5 , and give
you the product ( which they will never refuſe to
do , it being ſo far above the number thought )
from the which if you abate the latt figure of the
plodua (which willalways be a Cypher 02 5) the
number throughout will remain .
Example.
- Let the number thought be 53, which doubled
make 106, and multiplyed by 5 ,make 530, then
if you take away the Cypher which is in the latt
place , and there will remain 53 , the number
thought.
Queſt. 2. A pretty Queſtion.
A Thief breaking into an Dichard, ftole from
thence a certain number of Pears , and at
his coming foạth he met with three men one af
ter another who threatned to accuſe him of
theft ; and fouto appeaſe them , he gave unto the
ürtt man half the Pears that he ftole , who res
3 turned him back 12 ofthem . Then he gave unto
the ſecond halfofthem he had remaining , who
3
returned him back 7 of them . and unto the
the third he gave half the relidue , who returned
1
him back 4 , and in the end he had till remain
7 ing 20 Rears : Row do I demand how Pears
many
134 The Husband -mans Practice;
Pears he tole in all : To anſwer this Duettfort
you mult work backward, fo, if you take 4 from
20, there will remain 16, which being doubled,
make 32, from which abate 7 , and there will re
main 25 , which being doubled make 50, from
which fubftcast 12, and there will remain 38,
which again doubled inake:76, the true number
of Pears thathe gathered.
Queft. 3. Another ofthree Siſters,
A the eldetthe gave twenty two Apples, to
the ſecond he gavebirteen apples and tothe third
he gave ten Apples, and ſent thein tothe Barket
toſellthem , and gave them command to ſell one
as many faj a penny as the other ; (namely, ſeven
a penny)and everyone to bring him homeſo much
money as the other, and neither change either
apples o, moneys one with another, how could
that be done :
2. This to many ſeenis impoñible, but to the :
rithmetian very eage;for whereas the eldett had
'three penny-worths and one Apple over, theles
condtwo penny worths and two Apples over ,and
the youngett had 1 , penny-worth t3 apples over,
ſo that the youngett had ſo many üngleapples ,
and one pennywouth, as the eldeſt had pennys
worths and one apple over , and conſequently the
ſecond propoztionable to themboth.
1 Theymade their markets thus : A Steward
coming to buy : Fruit for his Lady, bought all the
apples that they bað at leven a penny,leaving
the
s ind , then had the eldett Sitter
2
the odud one beh

for the reſt, wgho rep thaandtihe wer but a
nin tht
few remai , the notwi Cent himn for
them , and bad him bring them at any rate .
The Steward coming to the Qarket again ,
could not buy the odd apples unde a penny a
piece, (who to content his Lady was fain to give
it)then had the youngett differ three penny-worth,
the middle üfter two penny -wofth, and the eldett
one penny -worth, and ſo tad they all four pence
a piece, and yet ſold as inan
another, and neither changed apples no2 nooney
one withanother, as they werecommanded.
