LIft vp handesomely, youre instrumente or Diall, towarde the Northe, in some meete place, the side of a squyre lyenge on it, vntill the plummet and lyne, centred in the extreme vpper part of the other side of your squyre lyke long, cut all that squyre side, whiche lyeth on your instrumēt, the fifth part onely except. Then moue your instrumēt, hither ād thyther, this or that way, vntyll the shadow of the wyre fall vpon the houre of the day, kepyng diligētly your heyth before. Your Dial thus fixed decla∣reth, all the yeare longe, the exacte houre and partes thereof. No Dial in truthe excelleth this. Haue in remembrance, that this instrumēt must lye leuel, nothing at al rered, for the houre of the night by sterre.
