The P.Efta/fzelCsiithj he could not eftablilli any thing cer- 
tain touching the true Magnitude of this Comet,becaure it laft- 
ed but a little time, and ftood al waies near the Horizon. Mean 
rime he obferved,that it paffed more fwiftly than ferns , which 
poflibly, at the beginning of this Fhmomemn^ might have paft 
the tenth degree of Aries. Whence he infers, that it was under 
Venus ; yet the anticipation was not fo great, that it could be 
believed to bt mderihtMoo^, as he would have it; adding, 
thatit could 110 befeenbyali the Inhabitants of the Southern 
Hemifphere, nor of the Europeans unto the 78, deg. of the 
Northern Pole, to \vhom it was Horizontal, and therefore hard- 
ly vifible by reafon of the vapo' S of the Atmofphere. 
It may be taken notice of, that a Moneth before, upon a re- 
port that a Comet had been feen towards the morning 
in the Horizon of the rifing Sun , and certain Carme- 
lites^ that liveupon a hillock of the faid Town.having affirm- 
ed , that they had obferved it feveral times ; our P. 
-E/?^;^-^;^/ began to doubt, whether the Comer, he faw, were 
not the fame,which,more fwifc than the Sun, according to the 
fuccefTion of the Signs might within that time have got clear 
of the Solar Rays *, and his fufpicion grew iheftronger, be- 
caufe the Head was then turned towards the Sun, and tiie Tay 1 
towards the Weft^ oppofite to the fame. 
It may alfo be noted, that at St. Salvador this Comet ap- 
peared not fo long^ as at Rome and at Goa ; but then, the Head 
thereof was feen in Brafil^ which was not poflible to be feen 
elfewhere.
