<dd>The comet referenced in this work is the Great Comet of 1664 which was also documented by Samuel Pepys and considered a harbinger of both the resurgence of the plague of 1665 and the great fire of 1666. To add to the comet's ill omen, there was a lunar eclipse which was also followed by another bright comet in 1665</dd>
