PROP. IV. By knowing the Latitudes, and Rumb of two Pla∣ces, to find their Distance, and Difference of Longitude.

1. To find the Distance say,

As Sc of the Rumb,

To the X of Latitude.

So is Radius or S. 90°,

To the Distance required.

2. To find the Difference of Longitude say,

As Radius or S. 90°,

To the X. of Latitude in M. Parts.

So is T. of the Rumb,

To the X. of Longitude required.
