places in which these five Colures cut the Ecliptic, is [Taurus]. 6 deg.. 29’. 15”:  and therefore the Great Circle which in the Primitive Sphere according to Eudoxus, and by consequence in the time of the Argonautic Expedition, was the Colurus AEquinoctiorum passing through the Stars above described; did in the end of the year 1689, cut the Ecliptic in [Taurus]. 6 deg.. 29’. 15”:  as nearly as we have been able to determin by the Observations of the Ancients, which were but coarse.

In the middle of Cancer is the South Asellus, a Star of the fourth Magnitude, called by Bayer [delta]; its Longitude in the end of the year 1689, was [Leo]. 4 deg.. 23’. 40”.  In the neck of Hydrus, rightly delineated, is a Star of the fourth Magnitude, called [delta] by Bayer; its Longitude in the end of the year 1689, was [Leo]. 5 deg.. 59’. 3”.  Between the poop and mast of the Ship Argo is a Star of the third Magnitude, called [iota] by Bayer; its Longitude in the end of that year, was [Leo]. 7 deg.. 5’. 31”.  In Sagitta is a Star of the sixth Magnitude, called [theta] by Bayer; its Longitude in the end of the same year 1689, was [Aquarius]. 6 deg.. 29’. 53”.  In the middle of Capricorn is a Star of the fifth Magnitude, called [eta] by Bayer; its Longitude in the end of the same year was [Aquarius]. 8 deg.. 25’. 55”:  and the fifth part of the summ of the three first Longitudes, and of the complements of the two last to 180 Degrees; is [Leo]. 6 deg.. 28’. 46”.  This is the new Longitude of the old Colurus Solstitiorum passing through these Stars.  The same Colurus passes also in the middle between the Stars [eta] and [kappa], of the fourth and fifth Magnitudes, in the neck of the Swan; being distant from each about a Degree:  it passeth also by the Star [kappa], of the fourth Magnitude, in the right wing of the Swan; and by the Star [omicron], of the fifth Magnitude, in the left hand of Cepheus, rightly delineated; and by the Stars in the tail of the South-Fish; and is at right angles with the Colurus AEquinoctiorum found above:  and so it hath all the characters, of the Colurus Solstitiorum rightly drawn.

The two Colures therefore, which in the time of the Argonautic Expedition cut the Ecliptic in the Cardinal Points, did in the end of the year 1689 cut it in [Taurus]. 6 deg.. 29’; [Leo]. 6 deg.. 29’; [Scorpio]. 6 deg.. 29’; and [Aquarius]. 6 deg.. 29’; that is, at the distance of 1 Sign, 6 Degrees and 29 Minutes from the Cardinal Points of Chiron; as nearly as we have been able to determin from the coarse observations of the Ancients:  and therefore the Cardinal Points, in the time between that Expedition and the end of the year 1689, have gone back from those Colures one Sign, 6 Degrees and 29 Minutes; which, after the rate of 72 years to a Degree, answers to 2627 years.  Count those years backwards from the end of the year 1689, or beginning of the year 1690, and the reckoning will place the Argonautic Expedition, about 43 years after the death of Solomon.
