Chap. 23.—Folio 207.
OF the LATITVDE of Places, and the Elevation of the Pole. Shewing, that the Latitude of a place in the Superficies of the Earth is the distance of the same from the Aequator. That [ 60] the Elevation of the Pole of any place, or above the Horizon of any place, is called the Arch of the Coelestial Meridian of that place intercepted between one and the other Coelestial Pole, and the Horizon of that place. The place being given in the Superficies of the Globe, so to constitute the Globe, that the Wooden Horizon may be the Horizon of that place. A place being given in the Superficies of the Globe, or the Latitude of any place being given, to shew all the places of the Earth, which may have the same Latitude, or Distance from the Aequator, or Elevation of the Pole; or to find all the places of the Earth, which may have the distance given from the Aequator. How to find the Meridian, and Point of the North and South in the given place of the Earth. To place a Globe, so that the Car∣dines of the same, may respect the Cardines of the Earth, that is, that the Brazen Meridian may be seated in the true Meridian of the Place. To find the Latitude of the place from the Hea∣ven, or the Elevation of the Pole above the Ho∣rizon of any place by the benefit of the Stars. The places of the Earth (under the Aequator) have no Latitude, but both Poles lye in their Horizon. The places under the Poles have the Latitude of 90 Degrees; viz. the Pole in the Vertex, and the Aequator in the Horizon. The places between the Poles and the Aequator, have a less Latitude than 90 Degrees.
