Hearing by the Natives that we were here, he came in with his Long-Boat, as he said to see us, but I believe it was only to know the certainty of what he feared was too true. He had told all the _Indian_ Captains that he came only to try their inclinations, and that there was a great Fleet coming with a great many People to settle among them, and defend them against their enemies, he meant _English_ that were to come by his direction; but our Fleet coming within a Month after, they all lookt upon us to be the People he spoke of; so that whatever Presents he made them before that time, was as much for our Advantage as if our selves had given them. He pretends to be a Conjurer, and to foretel things; but that was the truest Prophecy ever he spoke, though he knew not whom he spoke of. _A DISCOURSE tending to prove at what _Time_ and _Place_, _Julius Cesar_ made his first Descent upon _Britain_: Read before the _Royal Society_ by _E. Halley_._ Though _Chronological_ and _Historical_ Matters, may not seem so properly the Subject of these Tracts, yet there having, in one of the late Meetings of the _Royal Society_, been some Discourse about the Place where _Julius Cesar_ Landed in _Britain_, and it having been required of me to shew the Reason why I concluded it to have been in the _Downs_; in doing thereof, I have had the good Fortune so far to please those worthy Patrons of Learning I have the Honour to serve, that they thought fit to command it to be inserted in the _Philosophical Transactions_, as an instance of the great Use of _Astronomical Computation_ for fixing and ascertaining the Times of memorable Actions, when omitted or not duly delivered by the Historian.
