Of the equallitie, and vnequallitie of the naturall daies. the. 6. (Book 6)

BUt it is to bee noted y^• the natural daies are supposed to be equall the one to the other in the saide Epheme∣rides, althoughe they bee not so: & that for by cause of the obliquitie, or crokednes of the zodiacke, and of the mouement ir¦reguler of the sunne aboute the centre of the worlde, the tyme then, at the whyche the sunne departeth from the Merediane (whiche is the true noonetide) and goeth into the occident vnder the earth, retour∣nynge by oriente vnto the saide meridia¦ne againe: is the true quantitie of a natu¦rall deye, and the tyme at the whyche all the equinoctiall circle is passed and reuo∣luted or tourned backe vnder the sayde merediane, wyth. 59. minutes and. 8. se∣condes of a degree more, is the measure of a natural daye equall and measurable

according vnto whiche are ma••e the sup¦putations of the meane and reguler mo∣uementes astronomicalls. And although that there be difference betwene the true and the meane or equall dayes naturall aboue sayde, yet notwythstandynge ther can folow no notable errour for the true place and mouement of the sonne and of the. ••. planettes, whych are of mouement slowe ynoughe, but onely of the mone by reason of the swiftnes of her mouement.
