it. * Before ! conclude , I muff give 
notice to the Lovers .-.of Ajironomy^ 
that on the 24. of September ( ft. n j) ;jtyui ;)ri Ci 
of this year , I have obferv’d that New tteem it to be good without 
t s _ • • I 1 which yet is 1 cok’d for by the- 
the year 1662, until! this time hath next; 
been almoft altogether hid ) not only with my naked Eye,, 
like a Star of the fixth or feventh Magnitude , but alfo with a 
very great Sextant, It is ftill in the very fame place of the Hea- 
vens, where it was formerly from A, 1601, to almoft 1662.. 
For, its Diftance from Scheat Pegafi hath been by me found 3 5 0 .. 
5 i'. ; 2o' r . and from Mar-cab , 43°. 10'. 50" y which Diftances ( as 
I have found, in my Journal ) are altogether, equal to thofe,which 
I obferv’d A, 1658. the 1. of November. For the Diftance from 
Scheat at that time was 3 5°. 51'. 20". and from Mar cab. 43 °. 10'. 
25": where that former from Scheat exactly anfwers to , the 
recent j and that from Mar cab , ftistrue, differs in a very few 
Seconds , but that difparity is of no moment , fincc it only pro* 
ceeded ifom thence, that this Neiv Star is not yet fo diftinftly to 
be feen , t as atthat time,, when it was of the third Magnitude, ft 
is therefore certain, that it is the felf feme Star, which Kepler did 
firft fee A. 1601. and continued untill A, 1662. But whether in 
time it will grow bigger and bigger , or be loft again, time will 
fbew. He that will obferve this Star, mu ft take care , left hemF 
ftake thofe three more Southern ones , of the Sixth . Magnitude^, 
and now in a manner fomewhat brighter f though not. extant on 
the Globe J than the New, Star in Collo Cygni. The higheft of thofe 
three, is diftant from Scheat Pegafi 36°. 25'., 45" 5, the middlemoft 
from the feme , 37 0 . 25'. 20". and the loweft 5 .3.8’. 4'. 36". Fare- 
well, and allure the Moft Iliuftrious Royal Society of my hum- 
bleft Services. 
So far Monfieur Hen elim , whole, accurate Calcul. of the Solar

One is from Monfieur Job. Sche fenny to this purpofe.

much good for the advancement of ufefuli Knowledge. 2. ,
