■j«2^eSiNE AD of the Arch kY. being given; to find the Sine c/ffe Half Arch, or Half of AE.
Find the Chord of the Arch A E (See Chord) : for Half of this is its Sine. Thus, iuppofing D G and A D, as in the preceding Problem ; we ihall find the Sine of the Arch Half A E, or the Sim of 15 . = 2588 190.

But a Rettery, or a Portion of it, may properly be a j,V«..
Since the Angles at E and G are right Angles ; and the Angle B is common to each Triangle B C G and DEB $ we ihall have BC:CG::BD:DE: wherefore CG being found by the Second Problem, and B D being double of DGj D E is found by the Rule of Proportion.
4 The Sines F G md D E {Fig. 8.) of the Arches F A and D A,tv/.-oJe Pitfcreuce D F is greater than 45 Minutes \bcivg given 5 to fad any intermediate Sine, as 1L.

5° lo.findthe Sine 0/45 degrees. Let H I (Fig. 6. ) be a Quadrant of the Circle ; then will H C I be a right Angle : coniequentlv the Triangle, rectangu- lar 5 therefore H I* — H C z -f C V = 2 H G% wherefore, fince HC the whole Sine, is 100000005 if from iHCTquared, 200000000000000, be extracted the fcjuare Root 14142136$ we fhall have the Chord H I, whofe Half 7671068 is the Sine of 45 required.
6° The Sine of a Minute or 60" F G, (Fig. %.) being given ^ to find the Sine of one or more Seconds MN.
Since the Arches A M and A F are very fmall ; A M F may be taken for a right Line, without any fenfible Error in the Decimal Fractions of the Radius wherein the Sine is cxprefs'd ; that is, the Arches A M and A F may be taken proportional to their Chords. Wherefore, fince M N is pa- rallel to F G 5 we fhall have A F : F G : : A M : MN : Therefore AF, FG and A M being given, M N is eafily had.
To Confiruft a Canon of Sines.
The Sines of 30 15 45° and 36 (which we have al- ready fhewn how to find,) being had; we can thence con- flruft a Canon of all the Sines to every Minute, or even Second. For from the Sine of 36 we find thole of 18 9° 4 30' and 2 15', by the Second Problem: The Sines of 54 72 8 1° 85° 30' and 870 45', &c. by the firft Problem. Again, for the Sine of 45°, find the Sine of22° 30' no 15', i$c. From the Sines of 30 and the Sines of 54°, find the Sine of 12 . From the Sine of 12 , find the Sines of 6° 3° 1 3o' 35' 78°, f§C, From the Sine of 15°, find the Sine of 7° 30', 30 4$', l$c. 'till you have 120 Sines fuc- ceedihg each other orderly, at an Interval of 45: Minutes. Between thefe, find the intermediate Shies by the Fifth ' Problem : Thus will the Canon be compleat.

The Sine B C (Fig. 9.) and the Verfe.i Sine AB, being given in common Meafure, not in Warts of the Radius $ to find the Arch E F C in ^Degrees. Find the Semi-diameter A D, (See Semi-diameter.) Then in the Triangle D B C, betides the Right Angle B, by the Sides A C and D C, we find the Angle ADC, which ihews the Number of Degrees in the Arch, the Double whereof is the Arch FC; the ufe of which Problem is in finding the Segment of a Circle.

No Church, where there is but one Incumbent, can pro- perly be a Sine-Cure; And though the Church being down, or the Parifh being become deftitute of Pariihioners, the Incumbent may be thereby neceffarily acquitted from the actual Performance of publick Duty, yet he is Hill under an Obligation to do if, whenever a Church fhall be built, and there are a competent Number of Inhabitants : And in the mean while, if the Church be Preftntative, as mod fuch Churches are, the Incumbent is inftituted into the Cure
