The Almanac begins with some 'Vulgar Notes of ye yeare after the Accompte' and a 'Generall Judgement vpon the constitution of the 4 Seasons', including notes on the eclipses of the moon, providing exact times, positions, degrees of eclipse, etc. (ff. 3-8). There then follows (ff. 9-20) a series of detailed tables of month-by-month and day-by-day predictions, including the positions of the sun and moon, 'Aspectes between the Planets', 'Parallelisme of ye Planets and fixeds', 'Figures of the Quarterly Lunations','...inclination of the Quarter', and a prediction on the state of the weather for every day of the year, with such comments as 'Close and suspicious' and 'A mixt vicissitude of severitie and moysture'.
