, till about six weeks since, when she eating (no hard, crusty, or solid) Meat, that Tooth which came out first, fell down into her Mouth, without any loosness before hand perceived, or any pain; which had not a phang like other _Cutters_, but much less, and shorter. The other abides firm, and serviceable. To the truth of these Relations, not onely the said _Joseph Shute_ and _Maria Stert_, have put the one his name, the other her Mark, the third and seventh of _January_, 1666. but also Sir _William Strode_, and Mr. _Colepresse_ have subscribed the same, as believing the Relation to be true. * * * * * _An Account of two Books._ __I. ISMAELIS BULLIALDI_ ad Astronomos Monita duo: Primum, De Stella Nova, quae in Collo Ceti ante annos aliquot visa est. Alterum, De Nebulosa in Andromeda Cinguli parte Borea, ante biennium iterum orta._ The chief end of the _Author_ in publishing this Tract, seems to be, To excite Astronomers to a diligent observation, both of that _New Star_ in the _Neck_ of the _Whale_, to be seen in _February_ and _March_ next; and of that other, in the Northern part of _Andromeda's Girdle_, to be seen at this very present. As to the _former_ of these Stars, _he affirms_, that, as it hath appeared for many years in the said place, so it will in the beginning of _March_ next appear equal to the Stars of the _third Magnitude_, or perhaps bigger; and that about the end of the same Month, if the Crepuscle do not hinder, the greatest _Phasis_ of it will appear, if so be, that it keep the same Analogy of Motions and Periods, which it observed from _An._ 1638. to _An._ 1664. Where he takes notice of the Causes, why its two greatest Appearances could not be seen, _An._ 1664, 1665, 1666; and how he {382} comes to know, that in the beginning of _March_ next, It will equal, or even exceed the Stars of the _Third Magnitude_; noting, that from the Observations hitherto made of this Star, it is manifest, that the _greatest Phases_ thereof do every year anticipate by 32. or 33. dayes; forasmuch as _An._ 1660. its _greatest Appearance_ was about the end of _October_ and the beginning of _November_; _An._ 1661. about the end of _September_, or the beginning of _October_; _An._ 1662. about the end of _August_, &c. so that this year it must be in _March_, if the former Analogy do hold. He collects also from the Observations, That one _Period_ from the _greatest Phasis_ to the next,
