Paterson A Description of the Comet Upon the 14 day I observed this Comets ray to pass just betwixt us and the upmost Star in the Vulters breast and upon the 15 day betwixt us and the midle brightest and upon the 16 day I found it to be at 6 a Clock at night in Capricorn 17 d. 01 ' 30 in Latitude 14 d. 47 ' North at which time the Suns place is Capricorn 06 d. 08 ' 30 and the lowest Stars place is Capricorn 27 d. 55 ' in lat 27 d. 10 ' Again 24 d. at 7 a clock at night its place is Aquarius 20 d. 18 ' 30 in Lat. 25 d. 46 ' North. Likewise 29 day at 9 a clock at night its place is Pisces 14 d. 19 ' in Lat. 18 d. 20 ' 33 North. Again 1681. Jan. 6 day at 6 a clock at night its place is Aries 10 d. 50 ' 53 in Lat. 26 d. 15 ' 38 North its mean distance from the Earth is 1238911 miles its Node ascending Sagitarius 18 d. 21 ' greatest Lat. viz. 28 d. 40 ' 30 in Pisces 18 d. 21 ' Node descending Gemini 18 d. 21 ' which will be about Jan. 23 day after which you shall scarce discern it so that I see it amongst the Orbs of the Planets and not upon the Stary frame as is falsely Alledged by some of our new Artists in whom the Vulgars put much trust and yet they will have it between us and the Moon which is impossible Yet these Observations I have made and will approve of them as reale As also the Long. by Coelestial observation although there be many who profess to be Artists and yet knows little of Art but only a few Latine and Greek phrases on it holds it impossible because they know no better and yet there is other good Artists who although they have it not believes it to be true knowing that Art may produce many things Advertisement Such as desire any Mathematical Instruments made of Wood as Scales or the like with the use thereof may find me over against the foot of Peebles-winde in the Cowgate of Edinburgh where they shall have Scales of my forming that shall resolve Mathematical questions both speedily and exactly Ja.
