But for a further description of the Tables,
you have in every month four great columns, each of them consisting
of three lesser columns; in the first column is the dayes of the month,
in the second is the degrees of the Suns declination, under the letter
G, and in the third is the minutes, under the letter M. The first of the
great columns serving for the first year after leap year; the second for
the second year; the third for the third year; and the fourth for the leap
years, viz. 1652, 1656, 1660, 1664, 1668, 1672.
To find the Suns declination at any time, first seek the month,
then the yeare of our Lord, and the day of the month, and right against
the day of the month, under the yeare of our Lord is the Suns declination.
