of Seftemk it was about 2^mw* diftant from 6 Leonis^vx. 
its bearing therefrom is not fet down. From other parts 
it is faid to have been feen from the firft of Seftemler^ but 
nothing obferved, 
M B.Tiiat this Star 6 Leonisv^^iS then in ^gr- 2 min. of 
n^with North Latitude ^gY,\\\min. Whence at the time 
of the firft Obfervation it may be concluded that the Co- 
met was in 9^r. 55 of with North Latitude 9° I'^min 
And at the fecond Obfervation the Longitude of the Co- 
met will be found about \igr.i':>min.'\x\ rtj^, with much 
the fame North Latitude as before. 
. Thefe Oblervations being fb few , do fcarce fumce to 
iconclude any thing concerning the preceding or confe- 
quent motions of this Comet, which being near the Sun 
and ftiil approaching him was ibon loft in his Beams. It 
may however ferve one day, when the Theory of Comets 
fliall attain its perfeftion, to confirm ?in Hjpothefts^ and 
help to alcertain the number of thefe Heterogeneous Pla- 
nets, whofe frequency makes in more than probable that 
they have their periodical returns, tho hitherto unknown. 
And that the Prophecy of Seneu [ Erit qui demonftret ali- 
qumdo in quihus Comet fartibus errent \ cur tarn fedu6H a re- 
liquisy quot qudefque (mt^ ] is not wholly to be d,:i (paired of,

of 1 6Sf ,to be found in the incomparable Treat ife of M .
