be in its greatest Excentricity, the Distance betwixt the Center of the Earth and the second Focus of the Moon's circular Orbit would be according to Sir [[underlined]]Isaac Newton[[/underlined]] of 1293,582 Parts. But that Distance would be, according to him, of 824,490 Parts; if that Center be in its smallest Excentricity. Thus it appears, nearly, how much the Axis of the Moon's Spheroid would be turned from the Center of the Earth toward the Sun.
 24. And so, in an Antistereographic Orbit, the [[underlined]] Dichotomy[[/underlined]] must needs appear long after the first Quadrature, N.B. as [[underlined]] it[[/underlined]] also did in the [[underlined]]Worcester [[/underlined]] Observations. But the second Quadrature must appear a long Time after the ye Dichotomy. Now these very long Intervals of Time are the very reverse of what happens in a Stereographic Orbit: For in it the Dichotomy must needs precede long the first Quadrature; and come long after the second. And here is a Touchstone to try our Systems by.
 25. Hence it appears that many great Astronomers have been too hasty, in publishing as Matter of Fact the Phenomena of Dichotomys, not as they might have found them, by compleat and accurate Observations; but as they did guess them to be, by trusting too much to their Reasoning upon an erroneous and deficient System. However, the Moon observed with the best Telescopes, after it had past the Quadratures, appeared bissected, as Ricciolus does candidly own in his [[underlined]]Almagest[[/underlined]], p. 734. See Dr [[underlined]] Keill's Astronomical Lectures, [[/underlined]] p. 263.
