s ° ʹ

Sun from Node at Full Moon in _March 1761_ 9 25 27

Add his distance for two Lunations, to bring it into _May_ 2 1 20

---------

And his distance at Full Moon in that month is 11 26 47

Subtract this from a Circle, or 12 Signs, and there will remain 3° 13ʹ;

which is all that the Sun wants of coming round to the Ascending Node;

and the Moon being then opposite to the Sun, must be just as near the

Descending Node: consequently, far within the limit of an Eclipse.

384. Knowing then that the Moon will be eclipsed in _May 1761_, we must

find her true distance from the Node at that time, by applying the

proper Equations as taught § 363, and then find her true Latitude as

taught in that article.
