Jupiter fo accelerates the Earth's Motion in its Orbit 
round the Sun, that the Diminution of the Years 
would be too fenfible, if the diurnal Motion had 
not been accelerated nearly in the fame Proportion. 
Wherefore, fmee we hardly at all remark this con- 
fderable Diminution in the Years, from thence I 
conclude, that the Days fuffer much the fame Dimi- 
nution; fo that the fame Number will anfwer nearly 
to a Year.
