| The Sun, ☉ in a Year. | Sol, ☉ Anno. |

The Apparitions of the Moon.
Phases Lunæ.
| The Moon shineth not by her own Light but that which is borrowed of the Sun. | Luna, lucet non sua propria Luce, sed mutuatâ a Sole. |
| For the one half of it is always enlightned, the other remaineth darkish. | Nam altera ejus medietas semper illuminatur, altera manet caliginosa. |
| Hereupon we see it in Conjunction with the Sun, 1. to be obscure, almost none at all; in Opposition, 5. whole and clear, (and we call it the Full Moon;) sometimes in the half, (and we call it the Prime, 3. and last Quarter, 7.) | Hinc videmus, in Conjunctione Solis, 1. obscuram, imo nullam: in Oppositione, 5. totam & lucidam, (& vocamus Plenilunium;) alias dimidiam, (& dicimus Primam, 3. & ultimam Quadram, 7.) |
| Otherwise it waxeth, 2....4. or waneth, 6....8. and is said to be horned, or more than half round. | Cæteroqui crescit, 2....4. aut decrescit, 6....8. & vocatur falcata, vel gibbosa. |
