Thus the Phenomena before recked arc in ge- 
neral conformable to this Hypothecs, But to be 
more particulars let 
S be the Place of a 
Star, TS the Circle 
of Declination pall- 
ing thro’ it, repre- 
fenting its Diftance 
from the mean Pole, 
and yPS its mean 
Right Afcenfion. 
Then if O and R be 
the Points, where 
the Circle of De- 
clination cuts the 
iittle Circle ABCP)> the true Pole will be neareft that 
Star at O, and fartheft from it at R', the whole Dif- 
ference amounting to 1 8", or to the Diameter of the 
little Circle. As the true Pole of the Equator is 
fuppofed to be at A, when the Moon’s Afcending 
Node is in Aries s and at B , when that Node gets 
back to Capricorn 5 and the angular Motion of the 
true Pole about P, is like wife fuppofed equal to that of 
the Moon’s Node about E, or the Pole of the Eclip- 
tic: fince, in thefe Cafes, the true Pole of the Equa- 
tor is 90 Degrees before the Moon’s Afcending Node., 
it mud be l'o in all others. 
When the true Pole is at A , it will be at the 
fame Diftance from the Stars that lie in the Eqnino&ial 
Colure, as the mean Pole P is 3 for I negleft at 
prefent the Cafe of fuch Stars as are very near the 
Pole of the Equator 5 and as the true Pole recedes 
back from A towards B , it will approach the Stars, 
th at lie in that Part of the Colure reprefented by 
Pts and recede from thofe, that lie in P > not 
indeed
