SOme doe set downe rules to know in what signe and degrée the Moone is euerie day, but such as are not true. And to say the truth the Moone hath so many diuers motions as it cannot be done but by speciall Tables calcu∣lated of purpose. And by what rule soeuer you work, you must first know the place of the Sunne, which the Ephemerides most trulie sheweth, and in looking for that, you shall also find hard by it the place of the Moone, that is to say, in what signe and degrée shée is euery day, and so orderly the place of any other Planet, and therefore I leaue to speake any further thereof.
