Wherefore (following the Steps of fa Great 4 

 Man) I have attempted to bring the fame Me-

 be no unacceptable Prefent to Aftronomers. For 

 thefe Numbers are capable of Reprefenting all 

 that has been yet obferv'd about the iMotion of 

 Comets, by the Help only of the following 

 General T able •, in the making of which 1 fpartl 

 no Labour, that it might come forth perfect, 

 as a Thing confecrated to Pofterity, and to; 

 Jaft as long as Aponomy it felf.
