From these Instances it plainly appears the greatest Obliquity could not be 23° 31' 30" as [[underline]]Tycho[[/underline]] asserted; whose Error arose chiefly from a Supposition, that the Sun's Parallax was much greater that it really was; but by later Observations, and consequently more accurate it has been found to be almost insensible, for which Reason I have [[strikeout]] almo [[strikeout]] wholly neglected it.

In the years 1594, 1595, 1596, and 1597 our own Countryman, Mr. [[underline]] Ed. Wright [[/underline]], observed the Sun's Meridian Altitude with a Quadrant of more than six Feet Radius.  From him we have the commonly receiv'd Notion that the Latitude of [[underline]] London [[/underline]] near the Tower, is, 51° 32', [[insertion]] but [[/insertion]] how justly will appear hereafter.  And that has been swallow'd down by all Astronomical Writers without Examination ever since.  The only Observations to be depended upon, which have been made near [[underline]]London[[/underline]], have been taken by Mr. [[underline]]Flamstead[[/underline]] and Mr.[[underline]]Pound [[/underline]]; the former determined the Latitude of the Observatory at [[underline]] Greenwich [[/underline]] to be 51° 20' 30", and the later that of [[underline]] Wanstead [[/underline]] 51° 34'. Now the last and best Survey of [[underline]] Essex [[/underline]] places [[underline]] Wanstead [[/underline]] at least 3'30" more North than the [[underline]] Tower [[/underline]]; and the Observatory at [[underline]] Greenwich [[/underline]] is not more than 2' more Southerly than the same Place. Hence the Latitude of the [[underline]] Tower [[/underline]] of [[underline]] London [[/underline]] cannot exceed 51° 30' 30", and the Altitude of the Equator 30° 29' 30": This being substracted from the greatest Meridian Altitude, observ'd by Mr. [[underline]] Wright [[/underline]], leaves no more than 23° 20' 30" for the greatest apparent Obliquity; which is a few Seconds less than that of [[underline]] Tycho [[/underline]] his Contemporary.
