An exact way to find the true houre of the day [...] a walking staffe divided into 10 equall parts.
THe use of this Table following, is to find the true hour the day by the shadow of a wa [...]king staffe, being first [...] ded into 10 parts, and every one of those parts dividen into more parts, and so is your staffe divided into 100 pa [...] Wherewith if you destre to know the true houre of the any, it upright, and mark the length of the shadow with the [...] of your staffe: find the number of those par [...]s in the T [...] following right against the day of the Moneth, and on the you have the true houre of the day.
Example.
I desire the houre of the day upon the 20 of Day, there [...] set up my staffe, 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 [...] houre 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.
Table to find the true houre of the day by a staffe divided into 10 equall parts.

But according to Argoll 28 [...] min. and 5 sec. The obliquitie of the Zodiack according to [...] [Page] [...] deg. 31 min. and 30 sec. and according to Lansberg 23 deg. and [...] [...]in.
