A52815	A philosophical and divine discourse blazoning upon this blazing star divided into three parts; the I. Treating on the product, form, colour, motion, scituation [sic], and signification of comets. II. Contains the prognosticks of comets in general, and of this in particular; together with a chronology of all the comets for the last 400 years. III. Consists of (1.) the explication of the grand concerns of this comet by astrological precepts and presidents. (2.) The application of its probable prognosticks astrologically and theologically. / By Christopher Nesse, minister of the gospel, in London, 1681.; Full and true account of the late blazing-star. Parts 1-3.	Ness, Christopher, 1621-1705.	1681 (1681)	Wing N460; ESTC R218855	20,329	25
