the Comet deduced from the foregoing Obfervations, 
together with the Places of the Comet calculated from 
the Theory' of Gravity, for the Times of. Obfervation 
on the feveral Days therein mentioned, as alfo the 
Differences between the Obferved and Computed 
Places. Thofe Differences not exceeding one Mi- 
nute, (hew that the Obfervations are not only confo- 
nant to each other, but that the Places of the Stars 
are likewifenear the Truth, fince the Comets Places 
deduced from them are found all along to agree fuf- 
ficiently near with the Theory of Gravity ^ the Truth 
of which having long fince been eftablifhed by its 
great xAuthor Sir Jfaac Newton , and my worthy Col- 
legue Dr. Halley , needs not the Confirmation of fo 
fhort a Series of Obfervations as was made of this 
Comet. But fhort as it is, I prefume ’twill be no eafy 
Matter to account for the Obfervations with the fame 
Degree of Exa&nefs any other way, than by that 
Theory, according to which the following Compu- 
tations are made.
