2 The distinction of the Inhabitants is two∣fold, either Absolute or Comparatiue: Abso∣lute as they may be considered in themselues without any comparison of one with the other.
3 The former is againe twofold: either from the Position of the Spheare, or the differences of their Sun-Shadowes: According to the po∣sition of the Spheare the Inhabitants may be said to haue either a Right, Oblique, or Parallell Spheare according to their Horizons.
What these three Spheares are, may appeare by that which we haue formerly spoken concerning the distinction of Horizons in the sixt Chapter of this Treatise, and therefore needs no farther repetition: we are in this place to treat of the seuerall accidents, and conditions of the Inhabitants. Out of the distinction of the threefold Spheare will arise 13 manners of habitation: which for more order sake, wee will reduce into certaine heads in this manner.
