Example.

The Horizontall parallax of the Sun is: . 03912
The Horizontall parallax of the Moon: . 99396
Horizontall parallax of the Moon from the Sun: . 95484

6 Adde the Logarithme of the Horizontall parallax of the Moon from the Sun, the sine of the Altitude of the Moones orbe, and the sine of the distance of the Sun from the Nonagesime, their summe subtracting twice Radius, is the Logarithme of the parallax of longitude.
