OPERATION V. To find the Moon's Diurnal Parallel, and consequently how to Compose the Globe by the Moon.
BY the Moons Diurnal Parrallel I mean a real or ima∣ginary Circle Parallel to the Aequator, and answera∣ble to her present Declension, which by the former Operation we suppose to be about 12 Degrees; Having therefore this▪ Parallel you may compose the Globe by the Moon, as you do by the Sun.
And here you must remember, that tho' the finding of the Parallel implies at first a Meridian Line, yet the knowing how to compose thus your Globe will not be useless; for now you are no longer confin'd to one Place or Line, but may compose it where you please by the help of the said Parallel.
