 See next that which the observations of Peucerus giveth us, in which the inferiour distance from the Pole is 28 gr. 21 m. and the superiour 28 gr. 2 m. the difference 0 gr. 19 m. and the distance from the vertical point 66 gr. 27 m. from which particulars is gathered the stars distance from the centre almost 166 semediameters.

Here take what Tycho his observation holdeth forth to us, interpreted with greatest favour to the adversary; to wit, the inferiour distance from the pole is 28 gr. 13 m. and the superiour 28 gr. 2 m. omitting the difference which is 0 gr. 11 m. as if all were one Parallax; the distance from the vertical point 62 gr. 15 m. Behold here below the operation, and the distance of the star from the centre found to be 976 semidiameters.

The observation of Reinholdus, which is the next ensuing, giveth us the distance of the Star from the Centre 793. Semidiameters.
