To reduce this (or any other) Ephemeris or Almanack to any Meridian or place proposed,

FIrst you must understand; that all the Lunations, A­pects; and Planetary motions in any Ephemeris or Almanack, are calculated for some one Meridian (as in this for the Meridian of the City of Rochester;) you are likewise to understand, that the Earth by the diurnall motion from West to East, causeth any Meridian thereon in the East to come sooner to the Sun, then another which is more Westerly; so that when it is 12. of the Clock (or any other hour) at the Eastermost, it shall not be so much at the other, by so much as is the difference of Longitude in time: for Example, the difference of Longitude in time, between Rochester and London is 3. min. (Rochester lying so much to the Eastward of Lon.) I say therefore, that when it is 12. of the clock (or any other hour) at Roche­ster, it shall not be so much at London by 3. minutes (for in common reason the Earth must have an intervall of time to move the distance between Rochester and London, to the same point of the Heavens) therefore if the Moon should change at 12. of the Clock, (or any other hour) any day at Rochester, she would change 3. minutes before the same hour at London, for though she change at the same moment of time at London that she doth at Rochester, yet it is not the same hour of the day, at that moment, at Lon­don, as it is at Rochester; therefore to reduce the Lunati­ons or any other Aspect, to any other Meridian or place [Page] proposed, take the difference of Longitude between the place proposed, and that for which the Ephemeris or Alma­nack was calculated (by deducting the lesser Longitude out of the greater) which difference of Longitude con­vert into time (by allowing 15. degrees to one hour, and 4. minutes to every degree) which being added to the time set down in the Ephemeris, if the place proposed lie more Easterly then the place for which the Ephemeris was calculated, but substracted if it lie to the Westward, shall give the true time of the Lunation or Aspect for the place proposed; Example, I would know what time the Moon changeth at Rome in the moneth of March this present year 1652. I finde by the fore-going Ephemeris that she chan­geth at Rochester the 29. day 11. minutes past 10. in the morning: Also I finde by the Tables of Longitude that the Longitude of Rome is 35. degrees 20. minutes, and the Longitude of Rochester 21. degrees 5. minutes, this I deduct from the former, and the remainder is 14. degrees 15. minutes; Then do I say by the Rule of proportion, If 15. degrees give one hour, what shall 14. degrees 15. minutes give? the answer is 57. minutes of an hour, this do I adde to 10. hours 11. minutes (the time of the change at Rochester, because Rome lieth to the Eastward of Rochester) and the totall is 11. hours 8. minutes: rhe time of the change (before-noon the 29. day of March this present Year 1052.) at Rome, this may serve to dis­cover the ignorance and to stop the mouthes of some, who comparing divers Almanacks together, and finding them to differ in the time of Lunations, will condemn them of errour, when as indeed the errour is in themselves, not considering the difference of Meridians, for which those Almanacks are calculated; but to facilitate and expedite the former work, I have added the former Catalogue of places, wherein finding the proposed place, take the mi­nutes which stand against it (under the Title Diff. M.) and [Page] either adde them to or deduct them from the time set down in the Ephemeris, according as the Letters A or S shall direct you, and that sum or remainder shall be the true time desired.

But now to reduce the motions of the Planets to any other Meridian, seeing that the Earth by her diurnall mo­tion causeth any Meridian thereon in the East to come soo­ner to the Sun, then another doth which is Westward of that, by so much as the difference of Longitude reduced in­to time amounts unto; and seeing also that the Planets have a continuall motion from West to East, still encreasing their Longitude, if they be direct, and the contrary if they be Retrograde, therefore it followeth necessarily that any of the Planets shall not have the same Longitude at 12. of the Clock (and consequently at any other hour) under one of these Meridians, that they have at the same hour under the other, by so much as the said Planet moves in the space of time contained between the said Meridians, there­fore having by the former instructions found the difference of time contained between the Meridians of the two pla­ces, get also the diurnall motion of the Planet (whose motion you would reduce) by deducting his place for the day proposed, from his place for the day ensuing, if the Pla­net be direct, and the contrary if he be Retrograde, then say by the Rule of proportion, If 24 hours give the Planets diurnall motion, what shall the space of time between the Meridians give? which number so found, must be added to the Planets place set down in the Ephemeris, if the place proposed be to the Westward of the place, for which the Ephemeris was calculated, and the Planet also direct, but substracted if it be Retrograde, but if the place proposed be to the Eastward, and the Planet also direct, then substract the foresaid number, but adde it if the Planet be Retro­grade: So have you the Planets true place for the place desired.

Note that I do not account the Sun as one of the Planets, but the Earth in his stead, for the word Planet signi­fies a wandring Star, but in all probability, and by late discoveries the Earth moves, and not the Sun.

A brief description of the fore-going Ephemeris.

IN the foregoing Ephemeris each page (being appropria­ted to a moneth) is divided into eight columnes; the first whereof contains the daies of the moneth, the second the daies of the week according to the English accompt, the third contains the daies of note, which are yet in use for the computing of time; In this column is set down like­wise the Planetary Aspects, with the latitude of the two inferiour Planets ♀ and ♀ for some certain daies in each moneth, which may be found for every day, by the rule of proportion; the 4. column contains the true place of the Earth, for every day under the Meridian of Rochester, the 5. of ♀, the 6. of ♀, the 7. of ☽, and the last of ♌, for supplying the Longitudes and Latitudes, of the three supe­riour Planets; I have made use of the two Pages follow­ing the Ephemeris, wherein I have inserted them for every 5 day of each moneth, which may likewise be found for every day, by the rule of proportion after this manner; I would know the true place of ♂ the 8. day of Ianuary, therefore (seeing the Planet is direct) I deduct his place for the 5. day (which is 1. degree 9. min. of ♓) and the difference is 3. deg. 56. min. then I say by the Rule of proportion, If 5 daies give 3. deg. 56. min. what shall 3. daies give? the answer is 2. deg. 22. min. fere, this I adde to his place for the 5. day, and the totall is 3. deg. 31. min. ♓, the true place of ♂ for the day proposed (remember to do the contrary, if the Planet be Retrograde) by the same means may be found the Latitude for any day pro­posed.

The Use of the fore-going Table.

THis Table is inserted to finde the Moons Latitude, because it could not conveniently be set down in the fore-going Ephemeris: Therefore to finde the ☽ Latitude for any day in this Year, First, For the day proposed, take out of the fore-going Ephemeris, the motion both of the Moon, and also of the Dragons head, then deduct the mo­tion of ♌ from the motion of the ☽, and the remainder is the aequated Argument of the ☽ Latitude, with which enter the fore-going Table, and if you finde the sign in the head of the Table, then seek the degree in the first culumn, but if the sign be in the foot of the Table, then seek the degree in the last; so in the common angle you shall have the Latitude desired; making a proportionall part for the minutes annexed; Example, I would know the ☽ Latitude the 28. of March, at noon, at which time the ☽ is in ♈ 5 deg. 30 min. and ♌ in 11 deg. 14 min. of the same sign, therefore (because the Moons motion is lesse then the motion of the Dragons head) I adde 12. Signs (which is a whole circle) thereto, and the totall is 12. signs, 5 deg. 30 min. from which I deduct 11 deg. 14 min. (the motion of the Dragons head) and the remainder is 11. signs 24 deg. 16 min. the true aequated argument of the ☽ Latitude, with which I enter the Table, and because I finde the Sign in the foot, therefore I seek the degree in the last column, and right against it, over the sign II, I finde (allowing for the part proportionall) 0 deg. 29 min. 56 seconds, the true Latitude of the ☽ for the time proposed, the like is to be understood of all other, remembring to adde 12 Signs to the ☽ motion when it is lesse then the motion of ♌, and note, that the Earth never hath any La­titude, but moves alwaies with her center right under the Ecliptick.

The use of the two fore-going Tables.

THe former of these Tables shews the time of the Moons culminating (or of her being South) for any day in this Year, vvhich enter with the moneth in the head of the Table, and the day thereof in the first column, so in the common angle or meeting, you have the time of the Moons culmination, which found, enter the later of these Tables, and seek the place for which you desire to know the time of High Water, take out the hours and minutes which stand against it, and adde them to the time of the Moons culmination, so have you the time of High water for the day and place proposed: Example, I would know the time of the Moons culmination, and of high Water at the Start the 5 day of March; therefore I enter the former Table finding the moneth in the head of the Table, and the day thereof in the first column, and in the common angle or meeting, I finde 4 hours, 50 minutes, the time of the Moons being South after noon: then I enter the other Table, seeking for the Start, which I finde, and against it 6. hours 45. minutes, which I adde to 4. hours 50. minutes (the time of the Moons culmination) and the totall is 11. hours 35. minutes, the time of High wa­ter at the Start, the 5. of March; Note, that if the summe of the two numbers do surmouno 12. hours, you must de­duct 12. hours from it, and the remainder gives the time of high water.

To finde the Right Ascention of any of the Pla­nets or fixed Stars being in (or near) the Ecliptick.

AS for those Stars which are exprest in the Table, there is no more to be done but to finde the name of the Star in the first column, and right against it in the third you have his right Ascention, but to finde the Right Ascention of any of the other Stars or Planets,

For the time proposed, get the Longitude of the said Star or Planet (whose Right Ascention you desire to know) by the fore going Ephemeris, (or some other means) with which enter the Table, entituled, A Table of the Right Ascention of every degree of the Ecliptick in hours and minutes; finding the Sign in the head of the Table, and the degree in the first column, and in the angle of meeting you shall have the Right Ascention of the said Planet or Star in hours, minutes, and seconds, if it be in any of the Northern Signs, but if the said Planet or Star be in any of the Southern Signs, you must adde 12. hours to the fore­said number of hours, min. and seconds, so have you the Right Ascention desired.

To finde the Southing, Rising, and Setting of any of the fixed Stars exprest in the Table, for any day in the Year.

FOr the time proposed, get the Right Ascention of the Earth by the former Rules, which deduct out of the Right Ascention of the Star (set down in the third co­lumn of the Table, adding 24 hours thereto, if need re­quire) and the remainder shall give the time of the Stars culminating after midnight, from which alwaies substract 12. hours if the remainder surmount 12. and the residus [Page] is the time after noon, that the said Star cometh to the Meridian, having thus found the time of the culmination of any Star; take his semidiurnall Arch (set down in the fourth column of the Table) out of the time of his cul­mination, and the remainder will be the time of (the Ho­rizons depression under the said star, commonly called) the Stars rising: to finde the time of his setting (or the Horizons elevation above the said Star) adde this [...]emidi­u [...]nall Arch to the time of his culminating, and you have your desire.

To finde the hour of the Night by the Stars.

HAving for the day proposed, found the time of the Stars or Planets culmination, observe by some In­strument the horary distance of the said Star from the Meridian, which horary distance deduct out of the time of the Stars culmination, if the Star be to the Eastward of the Meridian; but adde it thereto, it is be to the Westward, so have you the hour of the night desired.

To finde, the Planets Declination for any day in the Year.

FOr the day proposed, finde the Longitude of the Planet, whose declination you desire by the fore-going Ephe­meris, with which enter the Table entituled, A Table of the Declination [...] of every degree of the Eclip [...]ck, and if you finde the sign in the head of the Table, then se [...]k the degree thereof in the first col. but if the sign be in the foot of the Table, then seek the degree in the last, so in the com­mon angle of meeting, under the Title decline, you have [Page] the Declination desired, if the Planet have no latitude, but if the Planet have any Latitude from the Ecliptick (which may be known by the foregoing Ephemeris) consider whe­ther the declination and Latitude be both of one denomina­tion, or no, if they be, then the sum of them, but if not, then the difference of them shall be the declination of the Planet desired.

To finde the time of the Horizons coincidence with the Sun (commonly called the Suns ri­sing and setting) with the length of the day and night.

HAving for the day proposed found the Longitude or place of the Earth, enter the said Table as before, fin­ding the sign in the head or foot of the Table, and the de­gree thereof in the first or last column, and in the common meeting under the title 2. Arch, you have the hour and mi­nute of Sun rising (if the Earth be in any of the Northern Signs) which is half the length of the night, which de­ducted from 12 hours leaves remaining the time of Sun-setting, which is half the length of the day, but if the Earth possesse any of the Southern Signs, then the former number found in the Table shall be the time of Suns-set­ting, which is half the length of the day, by which you may finde the time of his rising which is half the length of the night, by deducting it from 12 hours, then by doub­ling these numbers you have the whole length of the day and night.

To finde the Culminating, Rising and Setting of any of the Planets.

FOr the time proposed, get the Right Ascention both of the Earth and also of the Planet whose Culmination [Page] you desire, then deduct the Earths Right Ascention out of the Right Ascention of the other Planet (adding 24 hours thereto, if substraction cannot otherwise be made) and the remainder sheweth the time of the Planets culmina­ting, as is shewed in the fixed Stars, then get the declina­tion of the said Planet (by the former Rules) with which enter the former Table, entituled, A Table of the declina­tion, &c. finding the declination in any of the three grand columns, under the Title decline, and in the same grand column toward the right hand under the Title 1 Arch, you have the Planets semidiurnal Arch, or half the time that it continues above the Horizon, if the Planets decli­nation be Northerly, but if the declination be South, then the foresaid half Arch shall be the planets seminoctur­nall Arch, which deduct out of 12 hours, and the remain­der shall be the semidiurnall Arch, but if the Planets de­clination exceed 23 degrees 31 minutes: then seek the de­clination in the little Table, entituled, A Table for the Planets declination and half Arch, and right against it un­der the title 1 Arch, you shall have the Planets semidiur­nal or seminocturnal Arch as afore: having thus found the Planets semidiurnal Arch, deduct it out of the time of the Planets culmination (adding 12 hours if need require) and the remainder shall be the time of the Planets rising; and adding the semidiurnall Arch to the time of Culmi­nation, you have the time of the Planets setting, de­ducting 12 hours from it, if the total surmount 12.

Of the Eclipses happening this Year.

THis primary Planet the Earth which we inhabit, and her secondary Planet the Moon, which about us per­forms her monethly revolution, shall twice this Year by the interposition of their bodies deprive each other of the light of the Sun, in some part, for some space of time, for the Planets being opacous bodies, and having no native light of their own, do obscure each other by their interpo­sing between each other, and the Sun, who is the fountain of Light, that illuminates the whole Planetary Systeme.

The first of these is of the Moon, happening in our Meridian of Rochester, the 15 of March 3 bo. 49 m 52 S. A.M. or 49 min. 52 seconds p [...]st 3. in the morning, accor­ding to Harmo [...]icon Coeleste, the beginning whereof will be 5 minutes 18 seconds after 2 in the morning, the mid­dle or apparent opposition 49 min. 52 seconds p [...]st 3. the greatest obscuration 51 min. 43 seconds past 3. and the end 34 m nutes 26 seconds past 5, so that the totall dura­tion will be 3 hours, 29 mi [...]utes and 8 seconds, the digits Eclipsed will be 10.7 minutes and 3 [...] seconds, so that the E [...]rth will be deprived of above three quarters of her light, the part of her body eclipsed will be that next the South, so will appear of a pale black colour at the begin­ning of the E [...]lipse, but toward the end black with some rednesse; the place of the E [...]rth from the Sun, and of the Moon from the Earth being ♎ 5. degrees, 15. minutes, 17 seconds.

The second is of the Earth, and happens in our Meridian of Rochester, the 29 of March 3 min. 12 seconds, past 10. before noon, the Earth being then from the Sunne in ♎ 19 deg. 151 3 [...]1 and the Moon from the Earth in the oppo­site point, the obscured parts of the Earth are these ou [...] Northern Climates, lying then under the Cone of the [Page] Moons Shadow, she interposing between us and the Sun, thereby depriving us of the Suns light, and her self and Inhabitants (if she have any) of the light which other­wise she and they would receive from the Earth; this E­clipse will be in a manner totall to us in the Meridian and Latitude of Rochester, by the foresaid Tables, the begin­ning whereof will be 54 min. 43 seconds past 8 in the morning, the greatest obscuration 2 min. 51 ‖ past 10. the middle or apparant ☌ 3 min. 12 ‖ past 10. and the end 12 min. 48 seconds past 11. the digits or parts eclipsed to u [...] will be 11, 31′, 46‖ but the conjunction will be centeral, and the Eclipse total to other parts of England: and indeed by Ʋrania Practica it should be so to us, as also by Tab. Lansberg from whom I have taken the pains to caluctate this Eclipse; the Light that we shall behold in the Suns body according to the foresaid Tables, will be on the South side or lower part thereof, but according to the two latter we shall perceive some glimmering of light on the North or upper part of his body, as for the colour of the Eclipse we shall behold it to be of a grey ruddish colour, somewhat inclining to yellow: the totall duration of this Eclipse at Rochester, according to Harmonicon Coeleste, will be [...]. hours 18. minutes and 5 seconds, but according to Lansberg Tab. it will continue 2 hours 37 min. and 34 seconds.

March 20 at 2 min. 55 seconds past 10 of the Clock in the forenoon, the Sun will be thus eclipsed at Rochester.

The third Eclipse is of the Moon, and happens to us at Rochester the 7 of September, 23. min, 6. seconds past 6. at night, the Earth being in respect of the Sun, and the Moon in respect of the Earth in ♓ 25 deg 151 5 ‖ the beginning whereof will be 53 min. 1 second past 4 in the morning, the middle or apparent opposition 23. min. 6. sec. past 6. the greatest obscuration 28 min. 10 seconds past 6. and the end 53 min. 11 sec. past 7. so that the totall duration will be 3 hours, 0 min. 10 sec. the digits eclipsed. 10, 19l. 4 [...] but according to Eichstad. Ephem. the parts eclipsed both of this and also of the former Lunar Eclipse will be but 9 digits 57l. so that according to either the Earth will be deprived of more then three quarters of her light for some space of time: the darknesse which we shall behold will [Page] be on the upper or North part of her body; she appearing of a pitchy black colour mixed with a little palenesse to­ward the beginning, but toward the latter end more black mixed with rednesse; the Moon will be risen above our Hemisphere till she be near the middle of the Eclipse; these three Eclipses will be visible to us in England, but that which follows will not.

The fourth and last Eclipse which happens this Year will be of the Earth on Wednesday the 22 of September, 56 min. 35 sec. past 3. in the afternoon, at which time the place of the Earth from the Sun will be ♈ 9 deg. 56 min. 35 seconds, and the Moon from the Earth in the opposite point of the signifier: this Eclipse by reason of the Moons Meridionall Latitude, will not be conspicuous to us in England, or any of the Northern Climates, but the parts of the Earth darkned by the Moons interposition will be Magalanica, and the Pacifick sea, for over these parts shall passe the Center of the Conicall shadow of the Moon, the shadow spreading itself many miles on the Earth, so that the Lunar inhabitants (if any such there be as some do conceive) shall behold a round dark spot to passe over the Earth in these parts; And to the Eclipsed Regions shall the Suns light for a time be almost totally obscured, nei­ther can the Moon for some space of time receive the be­nefit of any sight from them, more then what she her self doth communicate to them.

Of the Earth's Entrance into the four Cardinall Signs limiting the four Quarters of the Year.

THe Spring being accounted the first Quarter of the Year commenceth at the entrance of the Earth into the Aequinoctial Sign Libra, making then the daies and nights of equall length, which happens to us in the Meridian of Rochester, on Tuesday the 9 of March 34 min. past 7 at night.

Summer begins at the Earth's ingresse into Capricorn, making then to us the Northern inhabitants the longe [...] daies and shortest nights, but the contrary to the Southern, which will be this Year on Thursday the 10 of Iune 22 min. past 10 at night.

Autumn takes beginning at the Earths entrance into Aries, which will be on Sunday the 12 of September 2 [...] min. past one of the Clock in the afternoon, at which time the daies and nights are again of equall length all the world over.

Winter begins at what time our primary Planet the Earth hath volved her self into the first scruple of the cold flegmatick sign Cancer, making the shortest daies and lon­gest nights to us the Northern Inhabitants, but the con­trary to the Southern, which will be on Saturday the 11 of December 11 min. past one in the morning.
