In the sixth operation the chord, the sines and Parallax are as followeth, and the star is found to be about 4. semidiameters; let us see whether it will be reduced, abating the Parallax from 8 m. to 1 m. onely; Here is the operation, and the star raised but to 27. semidiameters or thereabout; therefore the correction of 7 m. in 8 m. doth not suffice.

In the eighth operation the chord, the sines, and the Parallax, as you see, are these ensuing, and hence the Authour calculates the height of the star to be 1. semidiameter and an half, with the Parallax of 43. min. which reduced to 1 min. yet notwithstanding giveth the star lesse remote than 24. semidiameters, the correction therefore of 42. min. is not enough.
