the beginning of June^ An. 1652. wehavethe teftimony of the 
learned and famous Dr. Gliffon^ to whom he difcovered them, 
coming to Cambridge to take his Dolors degree ""-jat what time,fays 
the Learned Dr. Walter Charleton^ 'tis plain from BarthoUns own 
Book fet forth in May^ 1 6 5 3 . that he fcarce ever dreamt of them

andagain, the 9^'' of Z^^w^O'' and 28 of Fe3r. 1652 \ and that 
the Learned Olaws Rudbeck^^y Sy He firft difcovered them in O^o^
