So is the Co-tangent of half the Given Angle, Z PS, 61 d. 10m. (2.) As the Co-fine of half the Sum of the Given Sides, 50 d. 36 m. Is to the Co-fine of their balf Difference, 12 d. 6 m. So is the Co-tangent of half the given Angle Z, 61 d. 10 m. To the Tangent of 40 d. 22 m. Which is the half Sum of the 2D. M.D. M. For the SZ. Then 8 d. 30 m.

Astrology confifteth principally of Two Parts, viz. the one Mathematical, as is the Aftronomical Part; the other Judiciary, as is the Aftrological Part. The Mathematical Part teacheth how in a Scheme or Figure (as they call it) to reprefent the Face of the Heavens in Plano, for any Hour of the Day or Night, at all Times of the Year, and in all, Parts of the World. The Aftrological Part teacheth how (from the Sight of the faid Pofition of the Scheme or Figure of the Heavens at the Time of itsErection) to give a determinate Judgment of what was demanded upon that Erection of the Scheme or Figure; as of Annual Revolutions, Elections, the Nativity of a Perfon, &c. The principal Authors that have given their Opinions concerning the dividing of the Heavens into 12 Manfions or Houses, are, 1. Prolomy, 2. Alcabitius, 3. Campanus, and 4. Regiomontanus: Which laft Way is now generally received and practiced among the Aftrologers of these Times, and by them termed the Rational Way of Regiomontanus. Now, becaufe (as I faid before) that the Erection of a Figure of the Heavens is the Mathematical Part of Aftrology, I fhall therefore fhew how by the Globes to erect a Figure of the Heavens according to the Rational Way of Regiomontanus.
