Lorrain died A great War between the Swedes and Danes In the Year 1618 the 25th of August appeared a Comet and lasted until the 24th of January next following in all 60 Days appearing about three of the Clock before Sun rising a little beneath the left Fore-foot of Vrsa major inclining toward the Head of Leo in the 10 Deg. of the said Sign and in 22 Deg. of North Latitude It appeared by the help of the Telescope to be Hairy its light not clear shining but duskish its magnitude like that of Venus its colour palish It run from Scorpio to the middle of Cancer above one third part of the Heavens at first Southern at last Northern It s Tail was like that of an Estridge bowed in length 45 Degrees In Persia it was observed to be like a Cemitar It s apparent as well as its true magnitude was various and unconstant The Effects that followed this Comet was The death of the Emperor Matthias Ann Queen of England died and the Empress of Germany also about this time Many eminent mutations in all parts of Europe succeeded this Comet In the Year 1647 there appeared a Comet on the 29th of November lasted but two Days seen in the Evening at half an Hour past eight in the Constellation of Coma Berenices not quite 5 Degrees from the left Leg of Bootes about 10 Deg. from Arcturus in the eighth Degree of Libra in 26 Deg. of North Latitude It s motion contrary to the Series of Signs viz. From the Head of Bootes toward the Ecliptick and Spica Virginis It was something less in appearance than Arcturus but sufficiently bright and splendid It s Tail was erected upwards towards the Zenith in length 12 Degrees like to a Broom In the Year 1652 there appeared a Comet on the 20th of December it lasted while the 10th of January appearing about 6 of the Clock in the Evening in 9 Deg. of Gemini and 31 Deg. of South Latitude not far from Rigal in the left Foot of Orian. Its motion was constantly Retrograde from South to North by the Hare foot of Orion to the Pleiades and from thence as for as Ferseus It s Head was round and little less than the Moon its light pale and dull overcast by a thin Cloud its magnitude was not always the same It s Tail at first appeared Eastward opposite from the Sun resembling a sharp-pointed Cone in length 7 Degrees of a whitish but obscure colour About the 7th of January it quite lost its thin Rays like Hairs its Tail increased being at first 3440 at last 165000 German Miles In the Year 1661 there appeared a Comet on the third of February it lasted 53 Days seen in the Morning 47 Min. after 5 of the Clock Eastward beneath the Dolphin between the Eagles-Head and that of the lesser Horse in 10 Deg. of Aquarius 22 Deg. of North Latitude in the very Aether or highest Heaven at first two thousand at last 9000 Semidiameters of the Earth distant from it and consequently according to the opinion of Hevelius higher than the Sun it self It s course was from East to West by the Head Neck and nether Wing of Aquila in a Line almost parallel to the Ecliptick It s Head was round and of a yellowish colour clear and conspicuous It s Tail extended about 6 Degrees in length toward the Dolphin narrower where it joined to the Head pointing to that part of Heaven opposite to the Sun but with some kind of deflection In the Year 1664 there appeared a Comet on the 14th of December it lasted about three Months seen at first in the Morning about five of the Clock afterwards in the Evening near the Beak of the Crow in 8 Deg. or Libra and 22 Deg. of South Latitude In the highest Aether its Parallax at the beginning 59″ in the middle 4′ and in the end 16″ so that at first it was 3500 then 1000 and at least 120000 Semidiameters of the Earth distant from the Terrestrial Globe and higher than Mars It s motion was Retrograde from Corvus by Hydra Argus Canis major Hare Eridanus and Whales-Head unto Aries its course somewhat deflecting from a great Circle it ran through more than five Signs of the Zodiack viz. Libra Virgo Leo Cancer Gemini Taurus even unto Aries and in its Progress ran 154 Degrees It s Head was very conspicuous somewhat yellow in the midst thereof was discern'd a clear light surrounded with another more obscure It s Tail extended 14 Deg. in length sometimes longer sometimes shorter always extended to that part of Heaven opposite to the Sun yet with some deviation sometimes Northward sometimes Southward Towards its end it was sometimes quite lost and then again recovered Figurae variorum cometarum qui annis his infra nominatis apparuerunt Cometa 1577 Dic 13.

Cometa 1677 In the Year 1668 there appeared a Comet the 5th and 10th of March observed by Signtor Cassini at Bologna About the first Hour of the Night after the Italian Computation the Head or Body was not seen being hid under the Horizon The Tail was of a stupendious length being extended as it appeared at Lisbon in Portugal over almost the fourth part of the Visible Heaven from West to East from the Whale through Eridanus to the Star that precedes the Ear of Lupus In the Year 1672 there appeared a Comet on the second of March lasted till about the end of April as Signtor Cassins computed seen both Mornings and Evenings at first between the Head of Medusa and the Pleiades aftewards having continued its course towards the Root of the Southern-Horn of Taurus and having passed the Ecliptick went on above the top of Orion's Head to the Milky way It s greatest declination from the Equator Northward was 38 Deg. and a half He made 2 Deg. 32 of motion in one Day In the great Circle of its apparent motion its Head appeared in the Telescope almost round The Tail was almost imperceptible and appeared of the length of two Diameters of the Head or thereabouts not above 3 or 4 Min. of a Degree In the Year 1677 there appeared a Comet which rose on the 21 of April about 2 in the Morning near N. E. by N. It had a short bushy Tail about 5 Degrees in length to appearance about 2. Yards pointing towards the right Foot of Andromeda The Head of the Comet was of a pale colour as big as a Star of the first Magnitude and was in the Longitude of 11º of Taurus and in the Latitude 18 Deg. No. On the 23 of April the same Comet rose after 2 in the Morning the Tail streaming towards the Star in the Knee of Cassiopaea and being in Longitude 15 Degrees of Taurus and in Latitude 17 Degrees Notherly Of the fixed Stars THese Stars are said to be fixed
