The machine reads it as
- Si jam haec cum aliorum observationibus, quae autem multos annos
- factae sunt, comparentur, maniserrum erit declinationem magneris
- non parum variatam esse: quum enim, elapsis aliquot annis.
- apud promontorium das Aguthas (non procul a promontorio
- bonae spei) nulla suerit declinatio magnetis, jam in his
- observationibus comperietur eam etse ultra octo gradus; et
- quum tunc temporis ab eo loco cujus longitudo et circiter
- 39 gr. declinatio inceperit. jam in his observationibus depre-
- hendetus eam jam a 26 gr. longitudinis incepisse: alque sic
- dubitationi illi, nimirum num declinario magnetio in his
- parribus auttralioribus etiam variet. Tarirsactum esse
- consido. Bataviae. 17 Novembris, 1681.
