diligent obseruation of the foure equidistant circles. For if wee find it betwixt the two Tropicks, we may without doubt, thinke it to be in the Torrid Zone: If betwixt the Tropicke circle and the Polar, it will be in the Temperate. If betwixt the Polar circle and the Pole it selfe, it must bee in the cold Zone. By the Tables of Latitude it may be found this way: Seeke the latitude of the places giuen in the Table, which if it bee lesse then 23 degrees 30 scruples, the place is in the Torrid Zone. If precisely it bee so much in the Northerne Hemispheare, the place assigned is vnder the Tropicke of Cancer, which is the bound betwixt the Torrid and the beginning of the Northerne Temperate Zone: But if it be in the Southerne Hemispheare, it will be vnder the Tropicke of Capricorne: which ends the Torrid Zone, and be∣ginnes the South Temperate Zone: Euery place hauing more Latitude then 23 degrees 30 scruples, yet lesse then 66 degrees 30 Minutes, is seated in the Temperate Zone, either Northerne or Southerne, as the places are in the Hemispheare. If the place be precisely of 66 Degrees 30 minutes, it will be iustly found to be vnder the Polar circle, either Arcticke or Antarcticke. Fi∣nally euery place whose Latitude exceeds the number of 66 de∣grees 30 minutes, is seated in the cold Zone either Southerne or Northerne. If it reach iust to 90 degrees, it will bee iust vnder the Pole it selfe.
