TAke at any houre the altitude of 2 knowne stars, and such as are to be found in the Globe at one selfe instant whereof the one must be situated to∣wards the East, and the other towards the West, then turne the Globe together with the Meridian vp and downe in the nicks of the Horizon, vntill you finde by helpe of the quarter of altitude each Starre to haue the selfe same altitude in the Globe, that it had in heauen, which being done, looke how many degrées the North pole is eleuated aboue the Horizon, and that is the latitude of that place. But if you would knowe the latitude of any place that is towardes the South Pole, then you must first place the South pole aboue the Horizon, and then worke as before.
