 40 17     |          quantite of his latitude fro the ecliptik lyne, all be
 41 17     |           lyne, all be it so that fro the equinoxiall may the
 42 17     |           declinacioun. be rekned fro the ecliptik lyne; fro which
 43 17     |     rekned fro the ecliptik lyne; fro which lyne alle planetes

 45 19     |          is either north or south fro the equinoxiall. But sothly
 46 19     |      planetes be comounly rekened fro the ecliptyk, by cause that
 47 19     |    declyneth but fewe degrees out fro the brede of the zodiak.
 48 19     |        whan they have no latitude fro the ecliptyk lyne. But natheles
 49 20     |           eny degre in the zodiak fro the equinoxiall cercle. ~
 50 20     |      altitude in the almykanteras fro the est orisonte up to the
 51 20     |      declinacioun of thilke degre fro the equinoxiall. And yf
 52 20     |         thilke degre be northward fro the equinoxiall, than is
 53 21     |          the meridionall lyne ben fro the cercle equinoxiall unto
 54 22     |          Libra in the equinoxiall fro oure orisonte as is the
 55 22     |         orisonte as is the cenyth fro the pool artik; and as high

 57 22     |         as the equinoxiall is fer fro the cenyth. I prove it thus
 58 22     |         height of oure pool artik fro oure north orisonte is 51
 59 22     |       mynutes; than is the cenyth fro oure pool artik 38 degrees
 60 22     |          regioun is the distaunce fro the cenyth unto the equinoxiall. ~
 61 24     |          height of the pool artik fro the orisonte. ~Tak eny sterre
 62 24     |           and his lowist altitude fro the orisonte, and make a
 63 25     |           high in that same place fro the orisonte. And than is
 64 25     |         degre of his declinacioun fro the equinoxiall lyne; and
 65 25     |         declinacioun be northward fro the equinoxiall, abate than
 66 25     |           equinoxiall, abate than fro the sonnes altitude at non
 67 25     |       almost 20 degrees northward fro the equinoxiall; abate than
 68 25     |         declinacioun be southward fro the equinoxiall, adde than
 69 25     |          the pool of that regioun fro the equinoxiall. Or elles,
 70 25     |          tak the highest altitude fro the equinoxial of eny sterre
 71 25     |           elongacioun (lengthing) fro the same equinoxial lyne,
 72 28     |         the signes in thy zodiak, fro the heved of Aries unto
 73 28     |        clepid signes of the north fro the equinoxiall. And these
 74 28     |         evere. And alle the ignes fro the heved of Libra unto
 75 28     |        clepid signes of the south fro the equinoxial; and these
 76 28     |    equales. And these same signes fro the heved of Capricorne
 77 28     |           of right ascencioun ben fro the heved of Cancer unto
 78 28     |         signes that ben ilike fer fro the heved of Capricorne
 79 29     |       many degrees in his bordure fro his meridional as was the

 83 30     |         than is the planete north fro the wey of the sonne such
 84 30     |         than is the planete south fro the wey of the sonne such
 85 30     |    almykanteras. This is to seyn, fro th(wey where as the sonne
 86 30     |           went thilke day but not fro the wey of the sonne in
 87 31     |       with another lyne that goth fro south to north; than is
 88 31     |        the est lyne; and so furth fro partie to partie til that
 89 32     |     houres thilke conjunccioun is fro the midday of the day precedent,
 90 34     |          no latitude for the tyme fro the ecliptik lyne. ~Tak
 91 37     |         that ascendith, and rekne fro the point of thy label alle
 92 37     |      everich of these same houses fro the ascendent; that is to

 94 38     |           dyametre of thy compas, fro the centre amiddes. And
 95 38     |       draw a strike evene a-lyne, fro the pyn unto the middel
 96 38     |   distaunce of hem both ilike fer fro the est, and the contrarie;
 97 38     |         climat is a lyne ymagined fro est to west ilike distant
 98 38     |         est to west ilike distant fro the equinoxiall. And the

102 39     |           was northward 2 degrees fro the ecliptik lyne. Than
103 39     |           to seyn, in the 6 degre fro the heved of Capricorne;
104 39     |         that is to seyn northward fro the ecliptik. Than leide
105 40     |          degres, that is to seyn, fro the heved of Piscis; and
