Example.

Suppose the distance of the Sun and Moone were 293. 39161, that is, de∣ducting a Semicircle 113. 39161, and her equated Anomaly 42. 61577 because the Moones distance from the Sun is found in the bottome of the table, I number the equated Anomaly in the first columne towards the right hand ascending, and in the common angle (by making proportion for the intercepted degrees) I finde the Equation to be 1. 188 S. that is the title subtract, and therefore this Equation being subtracted from the Moones Eccentrick place, what remaineth shall be the Moones place in her orbe.
