THese thinges thus set forthe, there foloweth after the. 12. monethes of the yeare deuided in two faces, of the whyche the lefte face conteyneth the name of the moneth, with the noumbre of the daies of the same, wherof the Son daye is named by the dominicall letter, which hath course for that yeare. And yf there be any sestable daye, it is lykewyse noted, at the leest wise accordinge vnto the cōmon vse of the churche. After there foloweth the true mouementes of the lightes and planetes calculated at none∣tide of euery day, which are deuided and set in. 8. collōnes or spaces, of the which the first is of the sunne, the second of the moone, the thirde of Saturne the fourth of Iupiter the fifthe of mars the sixte of Venus the seuenth of mercury and the eyghte for the intersection or seperacion of the cir∣cle

of the moone, and of the Zodiake, whiche is called Caput draconis, as the ca∣recters or marks of the said planets and of the said dragon (whiche are aboue the heed of euery colompne do shewe) of the which the interpretation foloweth.
