On the Parallel of _London_, as much of the Ecliptic rises about Pisces and Aries in two hours as the Moon goes through in six days: and therefore whilst the Moon is in these Signs, she differs but two hours in rising for six days together; that is, 20 minutes later every day or night than on the preceding. But in fourteen days afterwards, the Moon comes to Virgo and Libra; which are the opposite Signs to Pisces and Aries; and then she differs almost four times as much in rising; namely, one hour and about fifteen minutes later every day or night than the former, whilst she is in these Signs; for by § 275 their rising Angle is at least four times as great as that of Pisces and Aries. The annexed Table shews the daily mean difference of the Moon’s rising and setting on the Parallel of _London_, for 28 days; in which time the Moon finishes her period round the Ecliptic, and gets 9 degrees into the same Sign from the beginning of which she set out. So it appears by the Table, that while the Moon is in ♍ and ♎ she rises an hour and a quarter later every day than the former; and differs only 24, 20, 18 or 17 minutes in setting. But, when she comes to ♓ and ♈, she is only 20 or 17 minutes later of rising; and an hour and a quarter later in setting.
