the Axis of the grand Orb, the Earths centre being in the
<

tial point of Capricorn. </

<
s
>Suppoſing therefore the Terreſtrial
<
lb
/>
Globe to have its centre in the point Capricorn, we will deſcribe
<
lb
/>
its Poles and Axis A B, inclined upon the diameter Capricorn
<
lb
/>
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
<
lb

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

<

in twenty four hours, from Weſt to Eaſt, there ſhall by all the

points aſſigned in its ſuperſicies, be circles deſcribed parallel to

half, E F above, and G M beneath, and the other two extream
<
lb

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

and B; and as we have marked theſe five, ſo we may imagine
<
lb

numerable others, parallel to theſe, deſcribed by the
<
lb

ble points of the Terreſtrial ſurface. </

<
s
>Next let us ſuppoſe the
<
lb

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

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
<
lb
/>
Cancer. </
s
>
<
s
>And therefore this immutability of inclination
<
lb
/>
nuing, we will deſign theſe other three figures about the centres
<
lb
/>
Aries, Cancer, and Libra, alike in every thing to that firſt
<
lb
/>
ſcribed about the centre Capricorn. </

firſt figure of the Earth, in which, in regard the Axis A B is

cer 23 degrees and an half towards the Sun O, and the arch A I

being alſo 23 degrees and an half, the illumination of the Sun
