 are An Introduction to Astrologie. of Saturn at fourteen hours after noon, or at two of clock the next morning. Thus have you one Figure of Heaven erected, and the Planets therein placed, though not rectif led to the hour of the day, for how to reduce their motion to any hour I shall shew hereafter: But because I have by experience found, that many Learners have been much stumbled for want of sufficient directions in former Introductions to set a Scheame of Heaven, I shall be a little more copious, and shew an example or two more.

I would erect a Figure on Saturday the 17 of January 1646. for eleven of clock and twenty after noon: the Sun that day at noon Is In 7 degrees and 52 of Aquarius: In the eleventh page of the Table of Houses I find Sun In Aquarius, under the column of the tenth house I look for the eighth degree of Aquarius, because 52 minutes want but little of a degree; over against the eighth degree on the left—hand, under the title of Time From Noon, I find 20 42, viz. 20 hours 42 minutes; so then I work thus, Time of the day is 11 20.

20 42 hours and minutes answering to the eighth degree of Aquarius, there being 62 min. viz, two min. more than one hour, I take that hour and adde both numbers together, they make ........... 32 02.

From 32 hours and 2 min. I subtract 24 hours, as I must ever doe, if there be more then 24 hours,

and then there remaines as you see,

8 hours and 32 02

2 min. which I find not 24 subtracted.

precisely in the Table of

Houses, but I find 8,0, 8 02 remaines.

which is neer my number, and which serves very well; over against 8h and 0m I find 28,0, and in the upper part I find Cancer, and over it the tenth house, so then I have 28 degrees, 0 min. of Cancer for the Cuspe of my tenth house: in the same line, on the right hand to the 28 degr. of Cancer, you shall find 4 36, over it Virgo, In the upper part of the eleventh house: so then 4 degr.

36 mm. of Virgo are the Cuspe of the eleventh house; then have you over against the said number of S hours 0 min. in An Introduction to Astrologie.
