TReats of the comparison of the CELS∣TIAL AFFECTIONS, in divers places of the Earth; shewing that those who live in the same Semicircle of the same Meridian, have also the same Merides, or 12 Hours; and also reckon together all the other Hours. Those that dwell in divers Hemisphaeres of the Earth, which the Aequator makes, or those that live in the divers Quarters of the Aequator, have contrary Seasons of the Year, at the same time, and the same Seasons in a different time of the Year; so that in one Hemisphaere it is Winter, when in the other it is Summer. Those who live in the North Hemisphaere of the Earth, when they turn their Faces towards the Aequator, the East is on their left Hand, and the West on the right, the South before them, and the North be∣hind them: And those that live in the South He∣misphaere the Stars rise on their right Hand, and set on their left. Those who live in the same Parallel of the same Earth, have every Day and Night equal; every one of the Stars also remains an equal time above their Horizons, the same Stars never set, the same Stars never rise; the Sun every Day, and also all the Stars rise and set to them in the same Quarter; and in the same Hour also the Stars are equally elevated above the Horizon, or depressed beneath it; They have the same Pole equally elevated; their Faces being turned to the Aequator, or the same Pole, the Stars rise to them from the same side: they have the same SeasonsPage  115 of the Year, and at the same time, except the singular properties of some places.
