in the same Ratio.

The Annual Equation of the Sun's Centre being given, the three other corresponding Annual Equations will be also given; and therefore a Table of that will serve for all. For if the Annual Equation of the Sun's Centre be taken from thence, for any Time, and be call'd P, and let ⅒P = Q, Q + 160Q = R, ⅙P = D, D + 130D = E, and D - 150D = 2F; then shall the Annual Equation of the Moon's mean Motion for that time be R, that of the Apogee of the Moon will be E, and that of the Node F.

Only observe here, That if the Equation of the Sun's Centre be required to be added; then the Equation of the Moon's mean Motion must be subtracted, that of her Apogee must be added, and that of the Node subducted, And on the contrary, if the Equation of the Sun's Centre were to
