The Place of the Sun given, to find its Declination.
HAving by the third Probleme found the Suns Place on the Plain of the Horizon, you must seek the same degree in
the Ecliptick, on the Globe; then bring that degree to the Brazen Meridian; and the number of degrees intercepted between the Equinoctial and the degree just-over the degree of the Eclip∣tick the Sun is in, is the Declination of the Sun for that Day: and bears its Denomination of North or South, according to its Position either on the North or South side the Equinoctial.
By the third Probleme aforesaid, of May 10. I find ♉ 29. the Suns Place; Therefore I seek in the Ecliptick Line on the Globe for ♉ 29. and bring it to the East side of the Brazen Meridian, which is the graduated side; and over ♉ 29. I find on the Brazen Meridian 20. deg. 5. min. (numbred from the Equinoctial:) and because ♉ is on the North side the Equinoctial, therefore I say, The Sun hath May 10. North Declination 20. degrees 5. min.
