by Cranlrook rftid B oft on, left Canterbury about 4 Miles on 
the Right hand, and quitted the Coaft of Kent, not far 
from Hern toward the antient Regulbium, now called Re- 
culver. So that it feems fcarce one third part of Kent , and 
not fo much of Suffex> out of all the South Coaft of Great - 
Britain, efcaped being involved in this Darknels 
The Northern Limit, having paft over a much greater 
Space, has had more Obfervers, and is not lefscurioufly 
determined than the other. We find by the Account given 
by the Reverend Mr. Roger Proffer* Redlor of Havcrjord- 
Weft, that the Eclipfe was total there a Minute and half, 
whence it follows that Haverford was but about 6 Miles 
within the Limit 5 and therefore that it entred o nPembrokc- 
fhire about the middle of St. Brides Bay, leaving St. David's 
and Cardigan on the left Hand .* and having traverfed thole 
two Counties and Montgomeryshire , it entred on Shropshire, 
leaving the Town of Shrewsbury T. 40". in the Shadow, as 
was obferved there by Dr. Hollings 1 whereby it appears 
that Shrewsbury was about 8 Miles within the Limit. Thence 
it proceeded by the Eaft-fideof Chefhirc,Ua\\ngW hit church 
and Nantwicbavery little without; and palling by Congleton 
went over the Peak of Darby [hire into Tork/hire, and croft 
the great Northern Road between Pontefratt and Done after, 
(omewhat nearer the former than the latter. For by the 
Obfervations of that curious Gentleman Tbeophilus 
Shelton Efq; at Darrington about two Miles on this fide 
Pontefratt, fin Lat. yyft. 40' and Long. Weft from London 
4'. 40". of time, as may be concluded from Norwood's 
Meafure of a Degree) the Sun at 9 h . 11'. was reduced al- 
moft to a Point, which both in Colour and Size refembled 
the Planet Mars ; but whilft he watched for the Total 
Eclipfe, that Point grew bigger and the Darknefs dimi- 
nilhed 5 whence he argued the Limit to have been very lit- 
tle more Southerly. And fince he has been informed that it 
was juft Total in Barnjdale, three Miles South from thence.
