 1 [Title]|       Lowys my sone, I aperceyve wel by certeyne evydences thyn
 2 [Title]|         and proporciouns; and as wel considre I thy besy praier
 3 [Title]|      first cause is this: truste wel that alle the conclusions
 4 [Title]|       conclusions in Englissh as wel as sufficith to these noble
 5 [Title]|          the lasse. But considre wel that I ne usurpe not to
 6 [Title]|  instrument portatif aboute. For wel woot every astrologien that
 7 [Title]|     canoun suffisant to teche as wel the manere of the worchynge
 8 6      |          this rewle generall, as wel on the bak as on the wombe
 9 8      |        last ende. But understond wel that these degres of signes
10 8      |   Alkabucius. And therfore knowe wel that a degre of the bordure
11 10     |          of 31 daies, yit truste wel that the sonne dwellith
12 17     |        degrees and 50 minutes as wel in Cancer as in lo Capricorn.
13 17     |        and Libra. And understond wel that evermo thys cercle
14 3      |        the south Iyne. For trust wel, whan the sonne is nygh
15 3      |        over, by experience I wot wel that in our orisounte, from
16 4      |         The ascendent sothly, as wel in alle nativites as in
17 4      |         than sey thei that it is wel. Further over thei seyn
18 4      |         aspectes of planetes and wel resceyved; and eke that
19 5      |     thinges may causen errour as wel in knowing of the tide of
20 5      | almykanteras of bothe, and wayte wel where as thin almury touchith
21 10     |      equales by day. ~Understond wel that these houres inequales
22 10     |         planetes. And understond wel that som tyme ben thei lenger
23 10     |        contrarie. But understond wel that evermo generaly the
24 11     |    bordure of thin Astrelaby, as wel by night as by day, generaly
25 12     |         of planetes. ~Understond wel that evermo, fro the arisyng
26 16     |        that folewen. ~Understond wel that thy zodiak is departed
27 16     |          And therfore understond wel that eny two degrees lo
28 16     |        these two hevedes, truste wel that thilke two degrees
29 17     |     secunde ascendent; and rekne wel the myddel degre bitwene
30 19     |        same tyme. And understond wel that with that same degre
31 19     |   celestialle bodies; for truste wel that neyther mone ne sterre,
32 22     |        of oure pool. ~Understond wel that as fer is the heved
33 22     |          of Oxenford: understond wel that the height of oure
34 22     |       and 10 mynutes. Understond wel this rekenyng. Also forget
35 23     |         sterre F. And understond wel that F is not considrid
36 23     |        not; let A and F goo fare wel tyl ageynst the dawenyng
37 23     |        the orisonte, and note as wel his secunde altitude as
38 23     |          regioun. But understond wel that to prove this conclusioun
39 25     |         the regioun. ~Understond wel that the latitude of eny
40 25     |       this but for ensample; for wel I wot the latitude of Oxenford
41 26     |     signes in diverse places, as wel in the right cercle as in
42 26     |         cercle is this: - Truste wel that by mediacioun of thilke
43 28     |   embelif cercle. And understond wel that alle the signes in
44 29     |          whan the list, and note wel the quarter of the world
45 29     |     point of thy label, and note wel that nombre. Turne than
46 34     |     conclusioun by the sonne, as wel as by the fixe sterre. ~
47 35     |    clepid a planete, and note it wel; and tak eke anon the altitude
48 35     |        thou knowist, and note it wel also. Com than ageyn the

50 35     |       forward or bakward. Awayte wel than whan that thy sterre
51 35     |     forseide planete and note it wel; for truste wel yf so be
52 35     |          note it wel; for truste wel yf so be that the planete
