  Dialling made easy, or, Tables calculated for the latitude of Oxford (but will serve without sensible difference for most parts of England) by the help of which, and a line of chords, the hour-lines may quickly and exactly be described upon most sorts of useful dials : with some brief directions for making two sorts of spot dials / by T.E.

summary:
  2. Draw the Diameters A C and B D at right angles , in the center O. A C shall be the hour of 12 , and B D the hour of 6. 3. Turn to your Table of Equinoctial Dials , and see what numbers answer to every hour ; take the said numbers from your line of chords , and prick them down in the circle A B C D on both sides the line of 12 : draw lines from these points thro the center O , and your work is done . Note . Likewise take 24 d 23′ for the 2d and 10th hour , and set it from m to b b. Take 38 d 9′ and set it from m to c c ; work after the same manner for the remaining hours .

title:
  Horological disquisitions concerning the nature of time, and the reasons why all days, from noon to noon, are not alike twenty four hours long in which appears the impossibility of a clock's being always kept exactly true to the sun : with tables of equation, and newer and better rules ... how thereby precisely to adjust royal pendulums ... : with a table of pendulums, shewing the beats that any length makes in an hour ... / by John Smith ... ; to which is added The best rules for the ordering and use both of the quick-silver and spirit weather-glasses, and Mr. S. Watson's rules for adjusting a clock by the fixed stars.

summary:
  That a Baroscope ascended higher in the cold Mornings and Evenings than at Mid-day ; which doubtless proceeded from the aforesaid Cause ; for if you leave , for tryal-sake , a little Bubble of Air in the Head of the Glass when you set it up , you will find the same Defect , as Dr. Beale has observ'd . And here you are to note , That in those parts of the Year where days are above 24 Hours long , there a well adjusted Clock will gain , because the Pendulum-Day , which is the 24 Hours , of its own Motion will be finish'd before the Natural-Day is ended .

  Oughtred, William, 1575-1660. Appendix wherein is contained a method of calculating all numbers for watches.

title:
  Horological dialogves in three parts shewing the nature, use, and right managing of clocks and watches : with an appendix containing Mr. Ovghtred's method for calculating of numbers : the whole being a work very necessary for all that make use of these kind of movements / by J. S. ...

summary:
  EEBO-TCP aimed to produce large quantities of textual data within the usual project restraints of time and funding, and therefore chose to create diplomatic transcriptions (as opposed to critical editions) with light-touch, mainly structural encoding based on the Text Encoding Initiative (http://www.tei-c.org). Dialogue 1. OF the inequality of time in respect of artificial motions , the nature of it ; their time● of erring and quantity of their error ; from whence several Conclusions are drawn in reference to Clocks .

  Sciothericum telescopicum, or, A new contrivance of adapting a telescope to an horizontal dial for observing the moment of time by day or night useful in all astronomical observations, and for regulating and adjusting curious pendulum-watches and other time-keepers, with proper tables requisite thereto / by William Molyneux ...

summary:
  If on any of these days we Set a wellregulated Pendulum-watch to the apparent time shewn by the Sun or Stars , on any day afterwards , it ought to differ from the apparent time shewn by the Sun so much as is the Aequation of time in the Table . For upon any day of the year observing the time exactly by Sun or Stars , that time is the apparent time , and to gain the mean time which ought to be shewn by the Clock , we are to add too or to substract from the said apparent time , the Aequation answering to the day of our observation .

  The ransome of time being captive Wherein is declared how precious a thing is time, how much he looseth that looseth it, & how it may be redeemed. Written in Spanish, by the R. Father Andreas de Soto, confessor to the most excellent Infanta Clara Eugenia. Translated into English by J.H.

summary:
  Well knevv Arsenius the Abbo● , the price of time , for when as he vvas in the hermitage of custome so vvell busied , and vvas so earnestly coveteous of time , that is vvas his wonted saying : An houre of sleepe is enough for a Monke . According to those words of Ecclesi●sti●●s , to none giue God command to doe ill , nor afforded he space of t●me vvherein to sinne , but he counsaileth all the world , and admonisheth each one that they conserue , that they be tender of time , & that they leaue to sinne , that they forsake euill , for that this iewell of time was not benignely bestowed on them to the end they should doe ill , but they should doe well .
