In his third Demonstration; _page_ 71: _line_ 7. _Producta _Y P_ transibit
per _M_;_ is said _gratis_; nor is any proof offered for it. And so this
whole structure falls to the ground. And withall, the _Prop._ 47. _El._ 1
doth still stand fast (which he tells us, _page_ 59, 61, 78. must have
Fallen, if his Demonstrations had stood:) And so, _Geometry_ and
_Arithmetick_ do still agree, which (he tells us, _page_ 78: _line_ 10.)
had otherwise been at odds.
And this (though much more might have been said,) is as much as need to be
said against that Piece.

_Observations made in several places, Of the late _Eclipse of the Sun_,
which hapned on the 22 of _June_, 1666._
The Observations that were made at _London_ by Mr. _Willughby_, Dr. _Pope_,
Mr. _Hook_, and Mr. _Philips_, are these:
The Eclipse began at 5h. 43' h. '
{ 3/11 diam. at 6. 00 | 5 dig. at 7. 06
{ 4 digits at 6. 07 | 4 dig. at 7. 13
It was { 5 dig. at 6. 13 | 3 dig. at 7. 20
darkned,{ 6 dig. at 6. 21 | 2 dig. at 7. 26
{ 7 dig. at 6. 391/2 | 1 dig. at 7. 32
{ 6 dig. at 6. 57 | 0 dig. at 7. 37
Its _Duration_ hence appears to have been one hour and 54 m. Its _greatest
Obscurity_ somewhat more than 7. digits. About the middle, between the
Perpendicular and Westward Horizontal _Radius_ the Sun, viewing it through
Mr. _Boyle_'s 60. foot-_Telescope_, there was perceived a little of the
Limb of the Moon without the Diske of the Sun: which seemed to some of the
Observers to come from some shining _Atmosphere_ about the Body either of
the Sun or Moon.
