Horologium dimetitur Horas.
Solarium 1. ostendit umbrâ Gnomonis 2. quota sit hora; sive in pariete, sive in pyxide magn∣eâ 3.
Clepsydra 4. ostendit partes horae quatuor, fluxu arenae, olim aquae.
Autòmaton 5. numerat etiam nocturnas horas, circulatione rotarum, quarum maxima trahitur à Pondere 6. & trahit ceteras:
Tum horam indicat, vel Campana 7. sonitu suo, percussa à malleolo: vel extrà Index 8. Circuitione sua.

A Dial measureth hours:
A Sun Dial 1. sheweth by the shadow of the Cock 2. what a clock it is, either on a wall, or a Compass 3.
An hour-glass 4. sheweth the four parts of an hour, by the running of sand, heretofore of water.
A Clock 5. numbereth also the hours of the night, by the turning of the wheels, the greatest whereof is drawn by a weight 6. and draweth the rest.
Then either the Bell 7. by its sound, being struck on by the hammer, or the hand 8. without, by its moti∣on about, sheweth the hour.
