9 2 5 37 * few Mercury for a few Se- 
conds, and judged he was got 
intirely within the Sun’s Disk, 
or perhaps a little morej then 
Clouds again, with fome Inter- 
vals of a few Moments between, 
which allow'd us a Sight of 
Mercury about three or four fe- 
vcral times, then quite cloudy 
till near 12, when we had a 
Sight of the Sun for a few Mi- 
nutes, and took his Tranfit upon 
the Meridian; at which time we 
judged Mercury to be about two 
of his Diameters, or a little more, 
within the Sun’s Disk, and a little 
paft the vertical Line. 
tz 10 27 We had again a Sight of the Sun „
