The diftances betwixt the Planets were meafured with 
ffie Micrometer and fixteenfoot Glafs, from the fixed 
Stars with the Sextant : thoftof the twelfth day by my a- 
fiftanc. my felf being then, very ill of the Stone, the reft by. 
ipy felf ; I took no diftances on thefeventeenth day for de- 
termining their Latitudes not being, well able to abide lon- 
ger in the cold Air ' thefe itre<jui(icemay bf borrowed for 
prefent ufe fronv the. Caroline tables^ which by continual 
obfervations and experience 1 find not very much erroneous 
in the Luitudes of the Planets. 
On the 22 day the Vhn^t Jupiter was in confequence 
of iS/^^^^m fomething lefs diftant from him chen be had 
been . obfecved on the fift day near the fame hour. 
Hence the middFe time betwixt thefe obfovations is point- 
ed out for the time of their true Conjundion> buttode- 
termineit more accurately I (hall examine the obfervations 
made with the Sextant on the ftventeenth day which 
being neareft the time are moft proper for this purpofe.
