A tutor to astronomie and geographie, or, An easie and speedy way to know the use of both the globes, coelestial and terrestrial in six books : the first teaching the rudiments of astronomy and geography, the 2. shewing by the globes the solution of astronomical & geographical probl., the 3. shewing by the globes the solution of problems in navigation, the 4. shewing by the globes the solution of astrological problemes, the 5. shewing by the globes the solution of gnomonical problemes, the 6. shewing by the globes the solution of of [sic] spherical triangles : more fully and amply then hath ever been set forth either by Gemma Frisius, Metius, Hues, Wright, Blaew, or any others that have taught the use of the globes : and that so plainly and methodically that the meanest capacity may at first reading apprehend it, and with a little practise grow expert in these divine sciences / by Joseph Moxon ; whereunto is added Antient poetical stories of the stars, shewing reasons why the several shapes and forms are pictured on the coelestial globe, collected from Dr. Hood ; as also a Discourse of the antiquity, progress and augmentation of astronomie.

The Vse of this Table.

The first Collumne on the left hand is the names of the Stars. The Second Collumne shews the degrees and minutes of Right Ascension, for the Year 1600. The third the Declination for the same Year. The fourth shews whether the Declination be North or South; N stands for North, S for South. The fifth shews the difference in degrees and minutes of Right Ascension of the Stars, between the Years 1600▪ and 1670. The sixth shews the Difference of Declination; and whether it be North, or South. The seventh shews the Right Ascension in degrees and minutes, for the Year 1670. The eighth shews the D••clination in degrees and minutes for the same Year.

By this Table you may perceive the fixed Stars increase in Right Ascension, till they come to the Vernal Colure; from

whence the number of their Right Ascension is reckoned: and by the Collumne of their Difference of Right Ascension, you may see how much they increase in 70. Years▪ And if you would know how much they increase for any other number of Years, you must find what proportion they have to 70, and the same proportion the Difference of the Right Ascension of the Stars will have to the Difference in the Table.
