These given with the sides N A & S A, I say,

As the greatest side N A	146426 co. ar.	4. 8343814
Is to Radius		10. 0000000
So is the lesser side S A	100895	5. 0038707
To the tang. of	34. 56887	9. 8382521
Adde	45
As Radius
To co-tang.	79. 56887	9. 2650444
So tang. ••/•• sum	51. 68614	10. 1022929
To tang. ½ diff.	13. 11536	9. 3673373
Summe	64. 80150 angle A S N
Differ.	38. 57078 angle A N S

Because the Suns place was subtracted from the eccentrick of ♂ redu∣ced, therefore the angle of elongation A S N 64. 80150 must be added to the ☉ place 154. 07347 and then the place of ♂ will be 218. 87497.
