Part 35

Hereupon they meet variously among themselves, and have mutual Aspects one towards another. Hinc conveniunt variè inter se & se mutuo adspiciunt.

As here the ☉ and ☿ are in Conjunction. ☉ and Moon in Opposition, Ut hic sunt, ☉ & ☿ in Conjunctione, ☉ and Luna in Oppositione, ☉ and ♄ in a Trine Aspect, ☉ and ♃ in a Quartile, ☉ and ♀ in a Sextile. ☉ & ♄ in Trigono, ☉ & ♃ in Quadratura, ☉ & ♀ in Sextili.

As here the and [Mercury] are in Conjunction. and Moon in Opposition, and [Saturn] in a Trine Aspect, and [Jupiter] in a Quartile, and in a Sextile. ]

The Apparitions of the Moon. Phases Lunæ.

The Moon shineth not by her own Light but that which is borrowed of the Sun. Luna, lucet non sua propria Luce, sed mutuatâ a Sole.

For the one half of it is always enlightned, the other remaineth darkish. Nam altera ejus medietas semper illuminatur, altera manet caliginosa.

Hereupon we see it in Conjunction with the Sun, 1. to be obscure, almost none at all; Hinc videmus, in Conjunctione Solis, 1. obscuram, imo nullam: in Opposition, 5. whole and clear, (and we call it the Full Moon;) in Oppositione, 5. totam & lucidam, (& vocamus Plenilunium;) sometimes in the half, (and we call it the Prime, 3. and last Quarter, 7.) alias dimidiam, (& dicimus Primam, 3. & ultimam Quadram, 7.)

Otherwise it waxeth, 2....4. or waneth, 6....8. and is said to be horned, or more than half round. Cæteroqui crescit, 2....4. aut decrescit, 6....8. & vocatur falcata, vel gibbosa.

CVI.

The Eclipses. Eclipses.

The Sun is the fountain of light, inlightning all things, Sol est fons Lucis, illuminans omnia; but the Earth, 1. and the Moon, 2. being shady bodies, are not pierced with its rays, for they cast a shadow upon the place just over against them. sed Terra, 1. & Luna, 2. Corpora opaca, non penetrantur ejus radiis, nam jaciunt umbram in locum oppositum.

Therefore, when the Moon lighteth into the shadow of the Earth, 2. Ideo cum Luna incidit in umbram Terræ, 2. it is darkened, which we call an Eclipse, or defect. obscuratur quod vocamus Eclipsin (deliquium) Lunæ.

But when the Moon runneth betwixt the Sun and the Earth, 3. it covereth it with its shadow; Cum vero Luna currit inter Solem & Terram, 3. obtegit illum umbrâ suâ; and this we call the Eclipse of the Sun, because it taketh from us the sight of the Sun, and its light; & hoc vocamus Eclipsin Solis, quia adimit nobis prospectum Solis, & lucem ejus; neither doth the Sun for all that suffer any thing, but the Earth. nec tamen Sol patitur aliquid, sed Terra.

The terrestial Sphere. Sphera terrestris.

The Earth is round, and therefore to be represented by two Hemispheres, a..b. Terra est rotunda, fingenda igitur duobus Hemispheriis, a..b.

The Circuit of it is 360 degrees (whereof every one maketh 60 English Miles or 21600 Miles,) Ambitus ejus est graduum CCCLX. (quorum quisque facit LX. Milliaria Anglica vel 21600 Milliarium) and yet it is but a prick, compared with the World, whereof it is the Centre. & tamen est punctum, collata cum orbe, cujus Centrum est.

They measure Longitude of it by Climates, 1. and the Latitude by Parallels, 2. Longitudinem ejus dimetiuntur Climatibus, 1. Latitudinem, lineis Parallelis, 2.

The Ocean, 3. compasseth it about, and five Seas wash it, Oceanus, 3. ambit eam & Maria V. perfundunt the Mediterranean Sea, 4. the Baltick Sea, 5. the Red Sea, 6. the Persian Sea, 7. and the Caspian Sea, 8. Mediterraneum, 4. Balticum, 5. Erythræum, 6. Persicum, 7. Caspium, 8.

CVII. b

The terrestial Sphere. Sphera terrestris.

It is divided into V. Zones, whereof the II. frigid ones, 9....9. are uninhabitable; Distribuitur in Zonas V., quarum duæ frigidæ, 9....9. sunt inhabitabiles; the II. Temperate ones, 10....10. and the Torrid one, 11. habitable. duæ Temperatæ, 10....10. & Torrida, 11. habitantur.

Besides it is divided into three Continents; Ceterum divisa est in tres Continentes; this of ours, 12. which is subdivided into Europe, 13. Asia, 14. Africa, 15. nostram, 12. quæ subdividitur in Europam, 13. Asiam, 14. & Africam, 15. America, 16....16. (whose Inhabitants are Antipodes to us;) and the South Land, 17....17. yet unknown. in Americam, 16....16. (cujus incolæ sunt Antipodes nobis;) & in Terram Australem, 17....17. adhuc incognitam.

They that dwell under the North pole, 18. have the days and nights 6 months long. Habitantes sub Arcto, 18. habent Dies Noctes semestrales,

Infinite Islands float in the Seas. Infinitæ Insulæ natant in maribus.
