tial point of Capricorn. </

<

>Suppoſing therefore the Terreſtrial
<

Globe to have its centre in the point Capricorn, we will deſcribe
<

its Poles and Axis A B, inclined upon the diameter Capricorn
<

Cancer 23 degrees and an half; ſo that the angle A Capricorn
<
lb

Cancer cometh to be the complement of a Quadrant or Radius,
<
lb

that is, 66 degrees and an half; and this inclination muſt be
<
lb

derſtood to be immutable, and we will ſuppoſe the ſuperiour

Pole A to be Boreal, or North, and the other Auſtral, or South.

ones I K and L M remote, by thoſe intervals from the Poles A

<

numerable others, parallel to theſe, deſcribed by the

ble points of the Terreſtrial ſurface. </

Earth, with the annual motion of its centre, to transferre it ſelf

into the other places already marked; but to paſſe thither in ſuch
<
lb

a manner, that its own Axis A B ſhall not only not change
<
lb

nation upon the plain of the Ecliptick, but ſhall alſo never vary
<
lb

direction; ſo that alwayes keeping parallel to it ſelf, it may
<
lb

continually tend towards the ſame part of the Univerſe, or, if
<
lb

you will, of the Firmament, whereas, if we do but ſuppoſe it
<
lb

prolonged, it will, with its extream termes, deſigne a Circle
<
lb
/>
rallel and equal to the grand Orb, Libra Capricorn Aries Cancer,
<
lb

as the ſuperiour baſe of a Cylinder deſcribed by it ſelf in the
<
lb

nual motion above the inferiour baſe, Libra Capricorn Aries

Cancer. </
