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 Azimuth at 6 is 12¾ degrees: Therefore I Elevate the Pole 12¾, and screw the Quadrant of Altitude to 12¾ de∣grees which is in the Zenith: Then I bring the first point of ♈ to the Meridian; The Suns Declination is 20 degrees 5 mi∣nutes. Therefore I number on the Quadrant of Altitude 69 deg. 55 min. which is the Complement of 20 deg. 5 min. to 90. this 69 deg. 55 min. on the Quadrant of Altitude I bring to cut the Equator, and find when 69 deg. 55 min, cuts the Equator, that the Quadrant of Altitude cuts the Horizon, in 38½ deg. which is the Complement of the Poles Elevation: and at the same time the Quadrant of Altitude also cuts the Equator in 15½ degrees which is the Almicantar or Altitude of the Sun at 6. a clock.
