t HaVmggone thus far, the rest will be casie ; For if you setydtrtfCddipMles from A , the first Center to a the first inter-^^tOiy, you may describe the first parallel of Cancer , and soif frstiri 'E the second Center, you extend to e, the second in-tersection yotr shall des cribe the second parallel pasting through> and lo forward with the rest having due regard to everyintersection, with his proper Center : and thus are the paral-lels to be described,amongst which that which paste th through°> * s the Æquinocfiastand if it be true done,will paste throughW and F,each tenth parallel must be distinguistied with some-what a bigger line then the test, and where every fifth 6 t thirdwjll not conic in for want of due space , as about Cancer andCapricorn^ where they grow close, there may you put in everyfifth or tenth onely, which will serve in thole marrow spacesas well as'more,' ' .
