Astronomy of the satellites of the Earth, Jupiter and Saturn : grounded upon Sir Isaac Newton's theory of the Earth's satellite... Also new tables of the motions of the satellites of Jupiter and Saturn ... by which their places and position ... may be exactly determined at any given time. Adapted to the meridian of London. To which is added a problem to find the latitude of the place by the altitude of the sun, moon, or star, upon any azimuth

Harmonicon coeleste : or, The cœlestiall harmony of the visible world. Conteining, an absolute and entire piece of astronomie. Wherein is succinctly handled the trigonometricall part, generally propounded, and particularly applyed in all questions tending to the diurnall motion. Especially respecting, and truly subservient to the main doctrine of the second motions of the luminaries and the other planets : together with their affections as eclipses &c. Grounded upon the most rationall hypothesis yet constituted, and compared with the best observations that are extant, especially those of Tycho Brahe, and other more modern observators. Fitted to the meridian of the most famous and ancient metropolis London, and principally intended for our English nation, and commended as usefull to all scholers, astronomers, astrologers, divines, physitians, Historiographers, polititians, and poets
