tar of the fourth Magnitude, called [delta] by _Bayer_; its Longitude
in the end of the year 1689, was [Leo]. 5 deg.. 59'. 3". Between the poop and
mast of the Ship _Argo_ is a Star of the third Magnitude, called [iota] by
_Bayer_; its Longitude in the end of that year, was [Leo]. 7 deg.. 5'. 31". In
_Sagitta_ is a Star of the sixth Magnitude, called [theta] by _Bayer_; its
Longitude in the end of the same year 1689, was [Aquarius]. 6 deg.. 29'. 53".
In the middle of _Capricorn_ is a Star of the fifth Magnitude, called [eta]
by _Bayer_; its Longitude in the end of the same year was [Aquarius]. 8 deg..
25'. 55": and the fifth part of the summ of the three first Longitudes, and
of the complements of the two last to 180 Degrees; is [Leo]. 6 deg.. 28'. 46".
This is the new Longitude of the old _Colurus Solstitiorum_ passing through
these Stars. The same _Colurus_ passes also in the middle between the Stars
[eta] and [kappa], of the fourth and fifth Magnitudes, in the neck of the
_Swan_; being distant from each about a Degree: it passeth also by the Star
[kappa], of the fourth Magnitude, in the right wing of the _Swan_; and by
the Star [omicron], of the fifth Magnitude, in the left hand of _Cepheus_,
rightly delineated; and by the Stars in the tail of the _South-Fish_; and
is at right angles with the _Colurus AEquinoctiorum_ found above: and so it
hath all the characters, of the _Colurus Solstitiorum_ rightly drawn.

The two _Colures_ therefore, which in the time of the _Argonautic_
Expedition cut the Ecliptic in the Cardinal Points, did in the end of the
year 1689 cut it in [Taurus]. 6 deg.. 29'; [Leo]. 6 deg.. 29'; [Scorpio]. 6 deg.. 29';
and [Aquarius]. 6 deg.. 29'; that is, at the distance of 1 Sign, 6 Degrees and
29 Minutes from the Cardinal Points of _Chiron_; as nearly as we have been
able to determin from the coarse observations of the Ancients: and
therefore the Cardinal Points, in the time between that Expedition and the
end of the year 1689, have gone back from those _Colures_ one Sign, 6
Degrees and 29 Minutes; which, after the rate of 72 years to a Degree,
answers to 2627 years. Count those years backwards from the end of the year
1689, or beginning of the year 1690, and the reckoning will place the
_Argonautic_ Expedition, about 43 years after the death of _Solomon_.

By the same method the place of any Star in the Primitive Sphere may
readily be found, counting backwards one Sign, 6 deg.. 29'. from the Longitude
