If so, twentyfour hours after the full, there could not be more than an hour and an half s difference, between the time of the moon's setting and that of the sun's rising; and there might be no more than half as much. If then the moon was setting on the morning of May 30, about six A.m. with an elongation of 6 signs; she would be ready to set, at six A.m. on the morning of May 31, with an elongation of 6 signs, 13; not more. Suppose then, the motion of the earth stopped, soon after sunrise, May 31, for twelve hours' time; hut the motion of the moon to go on as before. She would be actually setting at last, for the first time after the opposition, with an elongation of 6s 20: and this would be so much at variance with the whole harmony and proportions of the nocti-diurnal and the lunar motions in conjunction from the first; that if we may be permitted to give an opinion about it, we should think it much more probable, that the moon's motion would be absolutely stayed for twelve hours' time, to prevent such an anomaly, than that any such anomaly would be allowed to take place. By these means, twelve hours of mean time might be added bona fide to the length of that lunation; yet nothing whatever to the moon's elongation from the sun, at any place of her orbit, or at any period of her revolution therein. The date of the second miracle was May 31, b.c. 710; and the sun and the moon at that time were as nearly as possible in conjunction. There is a solar eclipse in Pingre, for the meridian of Paris, b.c. 710, March 4, at three A.m.; from which we obtain a mean new moon, for the meridian of Jerusalem, May 31, 7h. 23m. P.m.; the second in that month, and that year: and were this conjunction to be accurately calculated, it is most probable it would not be...
