The Suns Right Ascension

17. 749

Time in Degrees

329. 391

Right Ascension of Midheaven

347. 140

Midheaven

♓ 16. 022

Meridian angle

67, 078

Declination of Midheaven

5. 533

Altitude of the Equator at London

38. 467

Altitude of Midheaven

32. 834

2 The angle of the Ecliptique and Horizon, or altitude of the Nona∣gesime degree, and his distance from the Midheaven is thus found, by the 17 Chapter of the first part.

As the Radius

To the sine of the Meridian angle	67. 07	9. 9642509
So is Cosine of the Altitude of M C	32. 83	9. 9244255
To the Cosine of the Angle, &c.	39. 30	9. 8886764

Then as Radius

To the Cosine of the Meridian angle	67. 07	9. 5906259
So is cotang. of the altitude of the M. C.	32. 83	10. 1903074
To the tang. of the distance of the M. C. from the Nonagesime degree	16. 02	9. 7809333
This M C falling betweene Capricorn and Cancer this distance is to be added to the Midheaven		♓ 16. 02
And the Nonagesime degree will be in		♈ 17. 14

3 Find the Node Ascendent and Subtract it from the Nonagesime de∣gree, with the remainder enter the Table of the Moones latitude, which if North adde to the angle of the Ecliptique and Horizon; if South sub∣tract it from it, so have you the altitude of the Nonagesime degree of the Moones orbe.
