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.

Example.

The Suns Declination is 20 deg. 5 min. Therefore I Elevate the Pole 20 degrees 5 minutes, and also screw the Quadrant of Altitude to ••0 degrees 5 minutes which is in the Zenith: the Hour the Sun comes to be at East is 8 a clock 53 minutes, that is, 1 Hour 7 minutes after 6. Therefore I convert 1 Hour 7 mi∣nutes

into Degrees, as before, and it gives 16 degrees 50 mi∣nutes; which number of degrees and minutes I count from the East point Southwards, and thither I bring the Quadrant of Al∣titude: Then I look in what degree of the Quadrant of Alti∣tude, the Equator cuts, and find 38 ½, which is the Complement of the Poles Heigth, viz. 51 ½ degrees for the Heigth of the Pole.

In this Probleme the Declination of the Sun and Elevation of the Pole bears the same Denomination of either North or South, for when the Declination and the Elevation are different the Sun cannot come to the East point.
