Then loke in your the sonnes regiment & you shall find the decli-

Then in the table of the sonnes rising & setting, right
agaynst the hight of 48 degrees & under the declination
of 11. deg. you shall find 15 degrees & 33 minuts which
is the amplitude of the sonnes rising from the true East
And to be southwards of the east so much because the sonne

And to be southwards of the east so much because the sonne

Now marke [???] upon the compasse upon what degrees
the sonne rose; then reckon from it northward
according to your rule, because the sonne hath such a decli-
nation, the nomber of 16 degrees & 33 minutes, or 16 degrees& a half; & you shall
find them to end at 9 degrees & a half to the north-
wardes of the East of the compasse. And so much doth
the true east vary or differre from that of your compasse.
And so per consequence all the poyntes else from that truth.
That is to says the East of your compasse doth vary 9 degrees & a half
to the southwardes from the truth; And therefore the north of your
compasse so much to the Eastwards; The South poynt to the westwards
And your west poynt to the Northwards. But of what poynts
so ever you register in your booke the variation, you must specially
note the variation of the North poynt, becasue it is the cheefest
