The example.

As for example the 21. of Aprill 1592. which is the first of May, according to the Romain account, I find by the table on the left hand, the Sunne to be in the 10. degrée 50′· of Taurus, the Moone to be in the 30. degrée, 47′· of Capricorne, Saturne, to bée in the 8. degrée, 10′· of Cancer, Iupiter to be in the 18. degrée. 28′· of Sagittarius, Mars to be in the 12. degrée, 6′· of Gemini, Venus to be in the 2. degrée, 0′· of Aries, and Mercurie to be in the 6. de∣grée, 20′· of Taurus, and the head of the Dragon to be in the 29. degrée, 45′· of Gemini,

And right against this in the Table on the right hande you shall find the Moone to bee in a trine aspect with the Sunne, to bée in an opposition with Saturne, to bee in a trine aspect with Mercurie.

Thus hauing brieflie shewed you the vse of the diurnall Ta∣ble, I will shew you now how to find out the latitude of the Moone as well North as South, by help of Stadius his Table, set down in the 112. page of his Ephemerides, and first I will briefly de∣scribe the said Table.
