 all thothe [sic] circles of the sphere, or heavens, whether they aroare [sic] large or small, have 360 degrees allowed to each of them.

Colours are said to be two great moveable circles, crossing each other at thothe [sic] poles of the world, one cutting the equinox at the beginning of Aries, Cancer, and Capricorn, and so dividing the globo into four equal parts.

Horizon is a great circle which divideth the upper hemisphere, that is, the upper part of the world, from the lower, we always being supposed to bobe [sic] between.

MoridianMeridian [sic] is a great circlocircle [sic] passing through the poloPole [sic] of thothe [sic] world, and the poles of the horizon, called the Zenith and Nadir, (which are two points, onoone [sic] directly over our heads, the other directly under our feet) on which thothe [sic] sun is always just at noon, and to go directly north and south, the meridian is changed; but to go to east and west, it is changed to sixty miles, either way makes one degree, or four minutes of time difference under the equinox, viz. 60 miles eastward, it is noon four minutes sooner, and sixty miles westward, four minutes later.

Tropics aroare [sic] supposed to be two lesser circles, parallolparallel [sic] with the equinoctial, and distant from it on either sidoside [sic] 23 degrees 31 minutes each; thothe [sic] eclipic linoline [sic] touches the tropics of Cancer on thothe [sic] north sidoside [sic] of the equinoctial, and it touches thothe [sic] tropics of Capricorn on the south side thereof, so that the sun hath his motion botween these two circles.

The Arctic circle is equally distant from thothe [sic] north pole, as the tropics are distant from thothe [sic] equinox-23 degrees 31 minutes.

The Antarctic circle is the same distance from the south pole.

Zones, so called, are five in number, two cold, two temporate, and one hot, which are divided by
