 4 2      |                   2. To knowe the altitude of the sonne or of othre
 5 2      |           lyne, and tak there the altitude of thi sonne. And in this
 6 2      |           thow knowe by night the altitude of the mone or of brighte
 7 3      |        ellis horoscopum. ~Tak the altitude of the sonne whan the list,
 8 3      | almykanteras of height as was the altitude of the sonne taken by thy
 9 3      |        tyde of the day. I tok the altitude of my sonne, and fond that
10 3      |          liked me for to take the altitude of the faire white sterre
11 13     |                  13. To knowe the altitude of the sonne in myddes of
12 13     |        the day that is clepid the altitude meridian. ~Set the degre
13 13     |         sonne; and tak there thin altitude meridian, this to seyn,
14 14     |           the nombre of that same altitude in the lyne meridional;
15 17     |           shal be knowe. ~Tak the altitude of this sterre whan he is
16 17     |       knowist; and forget not the altitude of the firste sterre ne
17 17     |       right in the same nombre of altitude on the west syde of this
18 20     |        meridionall, and rekne hys altitude in the almykanteras fro
19 23     |          Tak than anoon-right the altitude of A from the orisonte,
20 23     |       pool. Tak than eftsonys the altitude of A from the orisonte,
21 23     |           note as wel his secunde altitude as hys first altitude. And
22 23     |     secunde altitude as hys first altitude. And whan that this is doon,
23 23     |       many degrees that the first altitude of A excedith his secunde
24 23     |         of A excedith his secunde altitude, and tak half thilke porcioun
25 23     |        and adde it to his secunde altitude, and tak there the elevacioun
26 23     |           thus: - peraventure the altitude of A in the evenyng is 56
27 23     |      height; than wol his secunde altitude or the dawenyng be 48 degres
28 23     |       than 56, that was his first altitude att even. Tak than the half
29 23     |           48 that was his secunde altitude, and than hast thou 52.
30 24     |         and considre his heighist altitude and his lowist altitude
31 24     |           altitude and his lowist altitude fro the orisonte, and make
32 25     |           of the regioun, tak the altitude of the sonne in the myddel
33 25     |        nombre of that same sonnes altitude out of 90 degrees, and than
34 25     |         abate than fro the sonnes altitude at non the nombre of his
35 25     |           declinacioun out of the altitude at non; than leveth there
36 25     |        thilke declinacioun to the altitude of the sonne at noon, and
37 25     |         the list, tak the highest altitude fro the equinoxial of eny
38 29     |        North, and South. ~Tak the altitude of thy sonne whan the list,
39 29     |           the almykanteras of his altitude on thilke syde that the
40 30     |                  30. To knowe the altitude of planetes fro the wey
41 30     |           meridional, yf that hir altitude be of the same height that
42 30     |           no latitude. And if the altitude of the planete be heigher
43 30     |          almykanteras. And if the altitude of the planete be lasse
44 33     |           knowe the cenyth of the altitude of the sonne. ~This is no
45 33     |           tyme of the day tak the altitude of the sonne, and by the
46 34     |           ecliptik lyne. ~Tak the altitude of the mone, and rekne thy
47 34     |           the mone, and rekne thy altitude up among thyn almykanteras
48 34     |           upon the mones syde the altitude of eny sterre fix which
49 34     |           set his centre upon his altitude among thyn almykanteras
50 34     |        touchith the prykke of the altitude of the mone, and tak there
51 34     |     wheyther syde of the mone the altitude of the sterre fixe be taken. ~
52 35     |     direct or retrograd. ~Tak the altitude of any sterre that is clepid
53 35     |         wel; and tak eke anon the altitude of any sterre fix that thou
54 35     |        sterre fixe is in the same altitude that she was whan thou toke
55 35     |         whan thou toke hir firste altitude. And tak than eft-sones
56 35     |        And tak than eft-sones the altitude of the forseide planete
57 35     |         lyne, so that his secunde altitude be lasse than hys first
58 35     |           be lasse than hys first altitude was, than is the planete
59 35     |        upon the est side whan his altitude is ytaken, so that his secunde
60 35     |       ytaken, so that his secunde altitude be more than his first altitude,
61 35     |   altitude be more than his first altitude, than is he retrograd. And
62 1      |         thou shalt werke. Tak the altitude of the tour by bothe holes,

64 1      |           the thridde part of the altitude of the tour; than thryes
65 2      |         the space of 6 tymes thyn altitude. And note, that at the ferste
66 2      |          note, that at the ferste altitude of 1, thou settest a prikke;
67 2      |           And then is 10 feet the altitude of the tour. For other poyntis,
68 3      |          upon 1 till thou see the altitude, and set at thy foot a prikke.
69 3      |           is the 12 partie of the altitude of the tour. And yif ther
