19. TO KNOWE WITH WHICH DEGREE OF THE ZODIAK ANY STERRE FIXE IN THYN ASTROLABIE ARYSETH UP-ON THE EST ORISONTE, ALTHOGH HIS DWELLING BE IN A-NOTHER SIGNE. [AD COGNOSCENDUM CUM QUIBUS GRADIBUS ZODIACI QUE STELLA FIXA IN ASTROLABIO ASCENDIT SUPER ORIZONTEM ORIENTALEM, QUAMVIS EIUS STATIO SIT IN ALIO SIGNO.] Set the centre of the sterre up-on the est orisonte, and loke what degree of any signe that sit up-on the same orisonte at that same tyme. And understond wel, that with that same degree aryseth that same sterre; and this merveyllous arysing with a strange degree in another signe is by-cause that the latitude of the 5 sterre fix is either north or south fro the equinoxial. But sothly the latitudes of planetes ben comunly rekned fro the ecliptik, bi-cause that non of hem declineth but fewe degrees out fro the brede of the zodiak. And tak good keep of this chapitre of arysing of the celestial bodies; for truste wel, that neyther mone ne sterre 10 as in oure embelif orisonte aryseth with that same degree of his longitude, save in o cas; and that is, whan they have no latitude fro the ecliptik lyne. But natheles, som tyme is everiche of thise planetes under the same lyne. And for more declaracioun, lo here thy figure. 15 20. TO KNOWE THE DECLINACIOUN OF ANY DEGREE IN THE ZODIAK FRO THE EQUINOXIAL CERCLE, &C. [AD COGNOSCENDUM DECLINACIONEM ALICUIUS GRADUS IN ZODIACO A CIRCULO EQUINOCTIALI.] Set the degree of any signe up-on the lyne meridional, and rikne his altitude in almikanteras fro the est orizonte up to the same degree set in the forseide lyne, and set ther a prikke. Turne up thanne thy riet, and set the heved of Aries or Libra in the same meridional lyne, and set ther a-nother prikke. And whan that 5 this is don, considere the altitudes of hem bothe; for sothly the difference of thilke altitudes is the declinacion of thilke degree fro the equinoxial. And yif so be that thilke degree be northward fro the equinoxial, than is his declinacion north; yif it be southward, than is it south. And for the more declaracioun, lo here 10 thy figure. 21. TO KNOWE FOR WHAT LATITUDE IN ANY REGIOUN THE ALMIKANTERAS OF ANY TABLE BEN COMPOUNED. [AD COGNOSCENDUM PRO QUA LATITUDINE IN ALIQUA REGIONE ALMICANTRE TABULE MEE SUNT COMPOSITE.] Rikne how manye degrees of almikanteras, in the meridional lyne, be fro the cercle equinoxial un-to the senith; or elles fro the pool artik un-to the north orisonte; and for so gret a latitude or for so smal a latitude is the table compouned. And for more declaracion, lo here thy figure. 5 22. TO KNOWE IN SPECIAL THE LATITUDE OF OURE COUNTRAY, I MENE AFTER THE LATITUDE OF OXENFORD, AND THE HEIGHTE OF OURE POL.
