observation_n and_o as_o the_o sun_n be_v more_o advance_v in_o that_o of_o this_o year_n from_o 63_o to_o 64_o minute_n than_o in_o that_o of_o the_o year_n 1631_o so_o it_o follow_v that_o the_o septentrional_a node_n of_o ☿_o be_v advance_v from_o 63_o to_o 64_o minute_n in_o the_o space_n of_o 46_o year_n as_o precise_o as_o by_o the_o rudolphin_n table_n which_o agree_v also_o exact_o in_o

the_o precede_a observation_n so_o that_o if_o the_o nodes_fw-la of_o ☿_o in_o regard_n of_o the_o sun_n be_v precise_o opposite_a the_o one_o to_o the_o other_o it_o appear_v that_o they_o have_v

be_v suppose_v uniform_a it_o will_v follow_v that_o the_o line_n of_o the_o nodes_fw-la of_o ☿_o do_v not_o pass_v at_o all_o through_o the_o centre_n of_o the_o sun_n but_o that_o it_o be_v remove_v
