Illustrated by diverse opticall conceits, taken out of Augilonius, Kercherius, Clavius, and others. Lastly, topothesia, or, a feigned description of the court of art.

Of the division of the World by accidentall scituation of the Circles COSMUS the World is divided by Microcosmus the little World into substantiall and imaginary parts Now the substantiall are those materiall parts or substance of which the World is compacted and made a Body by the inter-folding of one Sphear within another as is the Sphear of Saturn Jupiter Mars Sol c. And these of themselves have a gentle and proper motion but by violence of the first mover have a racked motion contrary to their own proper motion whence it appears that the motion of the heavens are two one proper to the Sphears as they are different in themselves the other common to all By Phebus motion plainly doth appear How many dayes doe constitute one yeare Will you know how many days doe constitute a year he telleth you who saith Ter centum ter viginti cum quinque diebus Sex horas neque plus integer Annus habet Three hundred sixty five dayes as appear With six houres added make a compleat Year The just period of the Suns proper revolution Perpetuus Solis distinguit tempora motus The Imaginary part traced out by mans imagination are Circles such is the Horizon the Equator the Meridian these Circles have of themselves no proper motion but by alteration of place have an accidentall division dividing the World into a right Sphear cutting the parallels of the Sun equally or oblique making unequall dayes and nights whence two observations arise First Where the parallels of the Sun are cut equally there is also the dayes and nights equall Secondly Where they are cut oblique there also the dayes and nights are unequall The variety of the heavens are diversly divided into Sphears or severall Orbs and as the Poets have found out a Galazia the milkie way of Juno her brests or the way by which the gods goe to their Palaces so they will assigne to each Sphear his severall god Goddesse of Heralts Caliope in the highest Sphears doth dwell Astrologie Amongst the Stars Urania doth excell Philosophie Polimnia the Sphear of Saturn guides Gladnesse Sterpsicore with Jupiter abides Historie And Clio raigneth in mans fixed Sphear Tragedic Melpomine guides him that gvids the year Solace Yea and Erata doth fair Venus sway Loud Instruments Mercury his Orbe Euturpe doth obey Ditty And horned Cynthia is become the Court Of Thalia to sing and laugh at sport Where they take their places as they come in order The Sphear is said to be right where the Poles have no elevation but lie in the Horizon so that to them the Equinoctiall is in the Zenith that is the point just over their heads The Sphear is oblique in regard of its accidentall division accidentally divided in regard of its orbicular form orbicular in regard of its accidentall equall variation orbicular it appears before in the Praecognita Philosophicall his equall variation is seen by the equall proportion of the earth answering to a Coelestiall degree for Circles are in proportion one to another and parallel one to another are cut equally so is the earth to the heavens having considered them as before we will now consider another sort of Sphear which is called parallel This parallel Sphear is so that the parallels of the Sun are parallel to the Horizon having the Poles in their Zenith being the extream intemperate colde and frozen Zone Ovid in his banishment complaines thus thereof Hard is the fright in Scythia I sustain Over my head heavens Axis doth remain CHAP II. Of the Circles of the Horizon the Equator and the Meridian THe greatest Circle of a Sphear is that which divides it in two equall parts and that because it crosseth diametrically and the diameter is the longest line as can be struck in a Circle and therefore the greatest which great Circles are represented in the following figure representing the Circles of a Sphear in an oblique Latitude according to the Latitude or elevation of the Pole here at London which is 51 deg. 32 min. being North Latitude because the North Pole is elevated The Horizon is a great Circle dividing the part of heauen seen from where we imagine an Antipodes the inhabitants being to us an Antipheristasin our direct opposites so that while the Sun continues visible to us it is above our Horizon and so continues day with us while it is night with our opposites and when the Sun goes down with us it appears to
