of_o the_o sun_n be_v upon_o the_o eleven_o day_n of_o august_n look_v the_o eleven_o day_n of_o august_n &_o you_o shall_v find_v it_o in_o the_o sixth_o circle_n above_o the_o aequinoctial_a now_o because_o each_o parallel_n stand_v as_o have_v be_v say_v before_o for_o two_o degree_n the_o sun_n shall_v that_o day_n decline_v northwards_o 12._o degree_n example_n 2._o what_o declination_n have_v the_o sun_n upon_o the_o 24._o day_n of_o march_n look_v the_o 24._o day_n of_o march_n and_o you_o shall_v find_v it_o between_o the_o second_o &_o three_o northern_a parallel_n as_o it_o be_v a_o half_a and_o one_o five_o part_n of_o that_o distance_n from_o the_o second_o reckon_v therefore_o 4._o degree_n for_o the_o two_o circle_n and_o one_o degree_n for_o the_o half_a space_n so_o shall_v the_o sun_n declination_n be_v five_o degree_n and_o about_o one_o five_o part_n of_o a_o degree_n northward_o that_o same_o day_n example_n 3._o what_o declination_n have_v the_o sun_n upon_o the_o 13._o day_n of_o november_n look_v the_o 13._o day_n of_o novemb_n and_o you_o shall_v find_v it_o below_o the_o aequinoctial_a ten_o parallel_n and_o about_o one_o quarter_n which_o be_v 20._o
