of_o meridians_fw-la one_o may_v have_v reason_n to_o believe_v that_o the_o substraction_n of_o these_o 40_o minute_n have_v be_v make_v a_o long_a time_n after_o these_o first_o rule_n because_o that_o it_o be_v perceive_v in_o process_n of_o time_n that_o the_o motion_n of_o the_o moon_n be_v not_o exact_o so_o quick_a as_o it_o result_v from_o the_o precede_a rule_n which_o do_v make_v the_o lunar_a month_n about_o three_o quarter_n of_o a_o second_v short_a than_o the_o modern_a table_n and_o this_o difference_n amount_v to_o 1_o hour_n and_o 13_o minute_n in_o 450_o year_n or_o

to_o which_o it_o will_v be_v necessary_a to_o have_v regard_n in_o the_o correction_n of_o these_o rule_n ii_o the_o determination_n of_o the_o astronomical_a epocha_n of_o the_o indian_a method_n see_v that_o these_o indian_a rule_n have_v be_v bring_v from_o siam_n and_o that_o the_o civil_a year_n of_o the_o siamese_n begin_v in_o the_o season_n that_o we_o think_v it_o ought_v to_o begin_v according_a to_o the_o rule_n of_o the_o i._o section_n as_o we_o shall_v show_v in_o the_o sequel_n it_o be_v reasonable_a to_o suppose_v that_o the_o meridian_n to_o which_o these_o rule_n have_v

which_o they_o have_v take_v for_o the_o epocha_n must_v happen_v at_o 3_o a_o clock_n in_o the_o morning_n at_o siam_n as_o the_o lunar_a month_n of_o this_o method_n agree_v to_o near_a a_o second_o with_o the_o lunary_n month_n establish_v by_o all_o the_o european_a astronomer_n it_o may_v be_v suppose_v that_o this_o hour_n of_o the_o new_a moon_n of_o the_o epocha_n be_v very_o precise_a since_o it_o may_v have_v be_v deduce_v from_o the_o observation_n of_o the_o eclipse_n of_o the_o moon_n which_o be_v much_o more_o easy_a to_o determine_v than_o all_o the_o other_o phaenomena_n
