poſite blank, if the ſight were made in one onely point; but if we
<
lb
/>
ſhould find, that the edges of the white cartel appear diſcovered,
<
lb
/>
it ſhall be a neceſſary argument that the viſual rayes do not iſſue
<
lb
/>
from one ſole point. </
s
>
<
s
>And to make the white label to be hid by
<
lb
/>
the black, it will be requiſite to draw neerer with the eye:
<
lb
/>
Therefore, having approached ſo neer, that the intermediate
<
lb
/>
bel covereth the other, and noted how much the required
<
lb
/>
proximation was, the quantity of that approach ſhall be the
<
lb
/>
tain meaſure, how much the true concourſe of the viſive rayes, is
<
lb
/>
remote from the eye in the ſaid operation, and we ſhall moreover
<
lb
/>
have the diameter of the pupil, or of that circlet from whence
<
lb
/>
the viſive rayes proceed: for it ſhall be to the breadth of the
<
lb
/>
black paper, as is the diſtance from the concourſe of the lines,
<
lb
/>
that are produced by the edges of the papers to the place where
<
lb
/>
the eye ſtandeth, when it firſt ſeeth the remote paper to be hid
<
lb
/>
by the intermediate one, as that diſtance is, I ſay, to the diſtance
<
lb
/>
that is between thoſe two papers. </
s
>
<
s
>And therefore when we
<
lb
/>
would, with exactneſſe, meaſure the apparent diameter of a Star,
<
lb
/>
having made the obſervation in manner, as aforeſaid, it would be
<
lb
/>
neceſſary to compare the diameter of the rope to the diameter of
<
lb
/>
the pupil; and having found
<
emph

v.g.
<
emph.end
type

"/>
the diameter of the rope to be
<
lb
/>
quadruple to that of the pupil, and the diſtance of the eye from
<
lb
/>
the rope to be, for example, thirty yards, we would ſay, that the
<
lb
/>
true concourſe of the lines produced from the ends or
<
lb
/>
ties of the diameter of the ſtar, by the extremities of the
<
lb
/>
meter of the rope, doth fall out to be fourty yards remote from
<
lb
/>
the ſaid rope, for ſo we ſhall have obſerved, as we ought, the
<
lb
/>
portion between the diſtance of the rope from the concourſe of
<
lb
/>
the ſaid lines, and the diſtance from the ſaid concourſe to the
<
lb
/>
place of the eye, which ought to be the ſame that is between
<
lb
/>
the diameter of the rope, and diameter of the pupil.</
