1on the contrary reclines from its former poſition gr. 47. and
clineth
towards the oppoſite part, ſo that to reſtore the ſame
clination
of the ſaid Pole A towards the Sun, it would be
ſite
by turning round the Terreſtrial Globe, according to the
circumference
A C B D, to tranſport it towards E thoſe ſame
gr. 47. and for ſo many degrees, any whatſoever fixed ſtar
ſerved
in the Meridian, would appear to be elevated, or inclined.
Let us come now to the explanation of that which remains, and
let
us conſider the Earth placed in the fourth Figure, that is,
with
its centre in the firſt point of Libra; upon which the Sun
will
appear in the beginning of Aries.
And becauſe the Axis of

the
Earth, which in the firſt Figure is ſuppoſed to be inclined
on
the diameter Capricorn Cancer, and therefore to be in that
ſame
plane, which cutting the plane of the grand Orb,
ding
to the line Capricorn Cancer, was erected perpendicularly
upon
the ſame, tranſpoſed into the fourth Figure, and
ned
, as hath alwayes been ſaid, parallel to it ſelf, it ſhall come
to
be in a plane in like manner erected to the ſuperficies of
the
Grand Orbe, and parallel to the plane, which at right
angles
cuts the ſame ſuperficies, according to the diameter
pricorn
Cancer.
And therefore the line which goeth from
the
centre of the Sunne to the centre of the Earth, that is,
O
Libra, ſhall be perpendicular to the Axis BA: but the
ſame
line which goeth from the centre of the Sunne to the
centre
of the Earth, is alſo alwayes perpendicular to the
