    Having known what Moon makes full Sea in any Port
  or Harbour, ( as you have a Table here of the moſt re-
  markable ) you muſt multiply the Moons age by 4,and di-
  vide the product by 5, the quotient will be hours, and
  the remainders will be 5 parts of an hour, ( every 5 part
  being 12') for the time of the Moons ſouthing, and ad-
  ding 24 thereto will be her northing; very near to which
  add the hours and minuts belonging to the point of flow-
  ing, and then ſeek the Moons age in this Table, under 
        Moons age         h,  '      the moons age and to-
     1 : 14 : 16 : 29     0 :  0     wards the right hand
     2 : 13 : 17 : 28     0 :  5     you have the hours and
     3 : 12 : 18 : 27     0 : 10     minuts to be ſubtracted
     4 : 11 : 19 : 26     0 : 20     from the former ſum, so
     5 : 10 : 20 : 25     0 : 30     the remainder is true
     6 :  9 : 21 : 24     0 : 45     time of full sea.
     7 :  8 : 22 : 23     1 : 00              Example.
                                        I demand full sea
    Leith the 6 day of the Moons age? Anſwer, multiply 6 by
    4, product is 24, which divide by 5, quotient is 4 and 4/5
    48' to which ad 2 h 15' belonging to NEBN or SWE
    for Leith, ſum is 5 h. from which ſubtract 45' found in the 
    laſt Table, remainder is 4 h, 18' true time of full sea,
    Leith required.               F I N I S.
