Courteous READER.  
THou art here presented with an Almanac, it being the fruit of my spare hours this last Summer, the Composure of which was at the desire of the Printer. Having ever since I came to years of understanding taken much delight in the Mathematics, I have for my ●●…cy studied something of it, though not so much as to ●…it myself either professor or practitioner, yet a Reader ●nd lover of it: therefore I desire a favourable censure from the Learned, should there be mistakes; tho' I think there are none that are essential, considering it is the first of my Attempts thus to appear in public. Notwithstanding, if this be well accepted it may encourage me to make some further experiment this way yearly, accommodated with something new.  
Reader, As for the Wether, I desire a very favourable construction; it is against my mind to put any such thing in, but considering the People have been used to it in the Almanacs of late, I have set it down to gratify those that desire it. I would not have any be so Ruled by it as to expect just such weather always on the days against which it is set, tho' it is possible it may so happen; for the very Rules that the foretelling of the w●●ther is grounded upon are not to be trusted to or ●●pended upon; for certain it is that the times & seaso●● are in the Hand of God alone, and He changes them 〈◊〉 He pleaseth. Indeed this we may know certainly 〈…〉  
That if the Air be fair and clear,  
Then will the ways more clean appear:  
But if it chance to Snow or Rain,  
Then they will dirty be again.  
☞ Note, At what time & places the Inferior Court 〈…〉 also hold Courts of General Sessions of the 〈…〉

Of the Spring.  
THe Spring Quarter gins when the Sun enters the first scruple of the vernal Equinoctial Sign Aries, making the days & nights of equal length all the world over, which will be on March the 9 the proper nature & quality of this Quarter is hot & moist, hot in respect of the Suns ascending nearer to the Zenith, and moist in respect of the Winter's Vicinity.  
Now the Sun's presence gins to revive,  
As well things sensible, as Vegetive.   

Of the Summer.  
The Summer Quarter gins the 10 of June, the Sun having then arrived to his greatest Northern limits even to his Tropical Point Cancer, thereby making the longest days & shortest nights to all Northern Inhabitants in the World, the nature of this Season is Hot and Dry.  
Now Reapers panting both with heat and pain,  
With crooked Razors shave the tufted plain.   

Of Autumn.  
The Autumn Quarter gins the 12. of Sept. the Sun ●●ing now returned from his greatest Northern progress, ●o his Autumnal Equinoctial Sign Libra, making again ● days & nights of equ●●●●●●th: this Quarter is naturally Cold and D●●● 〈…〉
