For he place [[strikethrough]] e [[/strikethrough]] [[insertion]] s [[/insertion]] it at about 75 Degrees from the upper Horn. And I doubt not but all this will agree with the Observations made at [[underlined]] London [[/underlined]], if they have not been given over too soon. I made use of a small Telescope of four Inches: And for a considerable Time I saw [[underlined]] Jupiter [[/underlined]] describe nearly a [[underlined]] Line perpendicular [[/underlined]] to the rectilinear Section of the Moon (for she was about her Quadrature) And that Line was [[underlined]] directed [[/underlined]] seemingly to the upper Corner or Horn of the Moon. So I continued to observe, till the right Line which terminated the bright Part of ^ [[insertion]] the [[/insertion]] Moon came up to [[underlined]] Jupiter [[/underlined]]. And then, seeing that he was visible still, tho' very near to the Body of the Moon, and forgetting my own Theory of the Refraction of Light in y [[superscript]] e [[/superscript]] Moon's Atmosphere, as well as the Obliquity of about 22° 47', of the Section of the Moon with the Meridian passing thro' [[underlined]] Jupiter [[/underlined]]; I gave over [[strikethrough]] y [[/strikethrough]] my Observation for good and all: When, it seems, I ought to have looked upon it as just begun. Neither could I be sensible of my Mistake, till I saw Mr [[underlined]] Dougharty's [[/underlined]] Scheme.
17. [[underlined]] London [[/underlined]] lies 48' more southerly than [[underlined]] Worcester [[/underlined]]. But it would be requisite to make a Scheme of this Eclipse of [[underlined]] Jupiter [[/underlined]] according to the best Rules, and agreeably to the Observations made near [[underlined]] Worcester [[/underlined]], or any where else. And then we may safely determine the horizontal Refraction of Light in the Moon's Atmosphere. And then also we may certainly judge whether those learned and curious Observators at [[underlined]] London [[/underlined]], who could see no Occultation of [[underlined]] Jupiter [[/underlined]], tho' they saw the full Orbs of [[underlined]] Jupiter [[/underlined]] and of the Moon during what they call
