If a man have any destre to know either the Stars or 〈◊〉 nets, he may by these directions eastly And them: for by serving the rising and setting of the Planets he shall not 〈◊〉 but know them and by observing what bright star is next Moon on those nights abo●e mentioned, 〈◊〉 caunot miss ●●●ing out all those bright stars in or near the Zo●ia●h.    

An exact way to find the true hour of the day 〈◊〉 a walking staff divided into 10 equal parts.  
THe use of this Table following, is to find the true hour the day by the shadow of a walking staff, being first ●●ded into 10 parts, and every one of those parts dividen into more parts, and so is your staff divided into 100 pa●●● Wherewith if you destre to know the true hour of the any, it upright, and mark the length of the shadow with the 〈◊〉 of your staff: find the number of those par●s in the T●●● following right against the day of the Month, and on the you have the true hour of the day.  

Example.  
I desire the hour of the day upon the 20 of Day, there●● set up my staff, and find the length of the shadow to con●● 14 parts, wherefore I look in my Table for May, and the ●ay, and in that line towards the right hand I find 14, 〈◊〉 over it in the head of the Table I find 4 and 8, which is 〈◊〉 hour of the day, either 4 aftern. or 8 morn. Note that th● lessér divisions are also set down in the Table, and are to us●● if need require, especially about midday.

A warm an● wind is an enemy to husbandmen, but if reasonable store of 〈◊〉 it preserveth the fruit, and begets plenty. This Quarter c●●● while the Sun passeth through these 3 last Signs, ♑, ♒ 〈◊〉 the space of 89 days, 0 hours, and 14 min.    

Astronomical Notes.  
THe true Procession of the Equinoctial, or the distance of 〈◊〉 Star in the Ram's horn from the Equinoctial point, acc●●●●● the Rodolphine Tables is 28 deg. 13. min. and according 〈◊〉 bergs tables is 28 deg. 19 min. But according to argol 28 〈◊〉 min. and 5 sec. The obliquity of the Zodiac according to 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 deg. 31 min. and 30 sec. and according to Lansberg 23 deg. and 〈◊〉 ●in. But according to the Prutenicall Tables it is 23 deg. 28 min 〈◊〉 ●o sec.

Of Eclipses.  
●●is year the Inhabitants of the earth shall be deprived of the Sun's 〈◊〉 glorious light twice, and as oft of the Moons.

The 〈◊〉 is of the Moon upon the last of January, the moon being in the 〈◊〉 deg. and 35 min. of Leo, the Sun in the opposite sign and degree. ●●s Eclipse gins at 5 a clock, and 23 min. the middle at 70 clock 〈◊〉 4 min and the end at 3 quarters past 8 at night. The parts eclip●● are 10, and 50 min. and that little light which she retaineth shall ●●ar on the neither part of her body.

The Use of the 2 former Tables.  
BY the help of these 2 Tables you may know at what hour a● all those stars both rise, set, and come to the Meridian. Th●● the Sun's right Ascension, and subtract it out of the stars Ascensi●● you shall find in the second Column in the first Table, and you 〈◊〉 their rising, setting, and southing as it is there set down: but 〈◊〉 cannot make subtraction, then add 24 to the stars Ascension; remainder shall be the true rising, setting or southing of the af●● stars. Note that if after the subtraction be made there remains 〈◊〉 then 12 hours, subtract 12 out of it, and the remainder is the N●●   

Example.  
Upon the 14 of April, I desire to know when all those stars th● and south. First I find the Sun's right Ascension to be 2 how. 〈◊〉 min. and then I come to the Table of the stars, and right against cida Corona, the first star in the Catalogue or Table I find 8. m●● which I add 24 hours, and it is 24. ho. 8. m. out of which I su●● 2. hour and 9 min. and there remains 21 hours, and 59 min. b●● this is more than 12. I also cast away 12. then there remains 9● and 59 min before noon, at which time Lucida Corona sets: 〈◊〉 need not cast away 12. then it is before midnight, otherways midnight. And thus you must do for all those stars whose Ascen●● less than the Suns. But if when the stars right Ascension is most only subtract the Sun's Ascension out of it, and you have your 〈◊〉 I find Arcturus rifing upon the 20 of January in the evening, a●● fire to know to hear of the night, the same day the Sun's righ● tension is 20, hou. 54. m. I find against Arcturus setting 6 hou● 0. m. to which I add 24. hours, and the sum is 30. hou● 〈◊〉 which I subtract 20, hou. 54. m. there remains 9 ho. and 6. mi. th●● hour of the night. Thus by knowing the hour of the night, yo● know the stars by observing on what point of the Compass th● and set on.
