A Method of finding the 'Time of E after, as 
it is ohferved in mofi Parts of Europe. 
From what has been already faid, a Method may

Conjunctions or the New Moons.

have already been treated of by feveral much abler 
Hands, and particularly by our Countryman the learned 
Dr. Prideaux. Nor is it my Intention to enter far into
