of the Earth, then substract 6 d. from it, as in the case of Ballasore, Bourdeaux be∣ing Eastward of the Meridian of London, and you have 13 d. 22 m. for the difference of Longitude, between London and Bourde∣aux, which is 13 d. 00 m. more than the truth by Journal. See in Mr. Bonds Tables of Longitude.
