To draw a Dyal on a Direct South or North Plane Inclining or Reclining.

Direct Reclining or Inclining Dyals are the same with Erect Direct Dyals that are made for the Latitude of some other Places; the Latitude of which Places are either more than the Latitude of your Place, if the Plane Recline; or less, if the Plane Incline: and that in such a proportion as the Arch of Reclination or Incli∣nation is.

Thus a Direct South Dyal Reclining 10 degrees in Lon∣don's Latitude, (viz. 51 ½ degrees) is an Erect Direct South Dyal made for the Latitude of 61 ½ degrees. And a Direct South Dyal Inclining 10 in the Latitude of 51 ½ is an Erect Direct South Dyal in the Latitude of 41 ½ de∣grees: and is to be made according to the Direction gi∣ven in Operat. III.
