A74866	The geometrical sea-man: or, the art of navigation performed by geometry. Shewing how all the three kinds of sayling, viz. by the plain chart, by Mercators chart, by a great circle. may be easily and exactly performed by a plain ruler and a pair of compasses, without arithmeticall calculation. / By Henry Phillippes.	Phillippes, Henry, d. 1677?	1652 (1652)	Thomason E652_10; ESTC R205892	65,784	93

the_o geometrical_a seaman_n or_o the_o art_n of_o navigation_n perform_v by_o geometry_n show_v how_o all_o the_o three_o kind_n of_o sail_v viz._n by_o the_o plain_a chart_n by_o mercators_n chart_n by_o a_o great_a circle_n may_v be_v easy_o and_o exact_o perform_v by_o a_o plain_a ruler_n and_o a_o pair_n of_o compass_n without_o arithmetical_a calculation_n by_o henry_n phillippe_v london_n

young_a seaman_n as_o it_o be_v chief_o for_o your_o profit_n that_o i_o write_v so_o i_o hope_v that_o though_o i_o shall_v be_v condemn_v of_o other_o yet_o i_o shall_v gain_v your_o pardon_n i_o confess_v my_o labour_n may_v seem_v needless_a after_o so_o many_o learned_a authot_n to_o set_v forth_o any_o thing_n of_o this_o subject_n and_o it_o may_v be_v account_v a_o presumptuous_a folly_n for_o any_o to_o go_v about_o to_o teach_v seaman_n in_o their_o art_n especial_o in_o these_o time_n wherein_o there_o be_v never_o more_o nor_o more_o skilful_a seaman_n but_o in_o answer_n hereto_o take_v notice_n of_o these_o consideration_n first_o that_o many_o book_n of_o this_o subject_n though_o they_o be_v plain_a and_o easy_a for_o all_o seaman_n to_o understand_v yet_o they_o be_v not_o so_o exact_a and_o perfect_a in_o all_o thing_n as_o they_o ought_v to_o be_v second_o that_o though_o mr._n wright_n mr._n gunter_n and_o mr._n norwood_n have_v very_o full_o show_v the_o error_n of_o the_o foresay_a book_n and_o have_v very_o perfect_o reform_v they_o yet_o their_o book_n be_v not_o plain_a and_o useful_a for_o all_o man_n because_o they_o require_v much_o knowledge_n in_o arithmetic_n three_o though_o there_o be_v many_o skilful_a seaman_n which_o be_v able_a to_o make_v use_n of_o these_o author_n yet_o there_o be_v many_o other_o who_o will_v willing_o attain_v to_o a_o more_o perfect_a knowledge_n in_o this_o art_n and_o yet_o can_v for_o want_v of_o arithmetic_n now_o for_o the_o help_n of_o such_o as_o these_o especial_o have_v i_o publish_v this_o book_n wherein_o you_o shall_v find_v how_o all_o that_o which_o be_v to_o be_v perform_v by_o arithmetic_n in_o the_o foresay_a author_n may_v be_v sufficient_o exact_o perform_v by_o geometry_n with_o the_o ruler_n and_o compass_n so_o that_o any_o one_o that_o can_v but_o read_v and_o write_v a_o little_a though_o he_o have_v no_o skill_n in_o arithmetic_n may_v hereby_o attain_v a_o true_a and_o perfect_a knowledge_n of_o the_o art_n of_o navigation_n so_o that_o he_o shall_v be_v able_a to_o keep_v as_o true_a and_o certain_a a_o account_n of_o his_o voyage_n in_o any_o part_n of_o the_o world_n as_o one_o that_o work_v by_o the_o most_o exact_a rule_n of_o arithmetic_n nay_o i_o dare_v say_v that_o one_o that_o can_v neither_o write_v nor_o read_v yet_o be_v of_o a_o ingenious_a capacity_n and_o have_v one_o to_o teach_v he_o according_a to_o this_o way_n may_v attain_v sufficient_a skill_n in_o this_o art_n four_o this_o may_v also_o be_v useful_a to_o those_o who_o can_v perform_v these_o thing_n by_o arithmetic_n and_o the_o doctrine_n of_o plain_a triangle_n for_o by_o this_o way_n they_o may_v perform_v they_o far_o more_o easy_o and_o ready_o and_o almost_o as_o exact_o and_o though_o such_o man_n may_v know_v many_o of_o these_o thing_n already_o yet_o perhaps_o they_o may_v gain_v some_o knowledge_n hereby_o last_o as_o by_o this_o way_n the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o art_n be_v most_o easy_o and_o speedy_o attain_v so_o it_o be_v more_o certain_o and_o constant_o retain_v and_o preserve_v both_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o knowledge_n and_o practice_n thereof_o first_o the_o knowledge_n hereof_o be_v more_o certain_o retain_v in_o your_o memory_n for_o this_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o all_o author_n be_v force_v to_o make_v use_n of_o some_o geometrical_a figure_n partly_o to_o explain_v their_o rule_n and_o partly_o to_o fix_v they_o in_o the_o memory_n by_o make_v they_o visible_a to_o the_o eye_n for_o we_o more_o sure_o remember_v any_o thing_n which_o we_o see_v do_v than_o what_o we_o only_o hear_v now_o in_o this_o way_n every_o thing_n be_v make_v much_o more_o visible_a to_o the_o eye_n and_o therefore_o more_o easy_a both_o to_o learn_v and_o remember_v second_o the_o practice_n of_o this_o knowledge_n will_v be_v more_o sure_o and_o constant_o preserve_v for_o arithmetical_a calculation_n require_v many_o table_n viz._n of_o sines_n tangent_n secant_v meridian_n which_o can_v possible_o be_v keep_v in_o memory_n so_o that_o if_o by_o any_o cross_a accident_n a_o seaman_n be_v deprive_v of_o his_o book_n he_o can_v make_v no_o use_n of_o his_o skill_n in_o arithmetic_n but_o if_o a_o man_n know_v how_o to_o perform_v these_o thing_n by_o geometry_n though_o all_o his_o book_n and_o write_n be_v lose_v yet_o have_v but_o a_o plain_a ruler_n and_o a_o pair_n of_o compass_n he_o may_v quick_o recover_v his_o loss_n and_o fall_v to_o his_o work_n as_o before_o upon_o these_o consideration_n i_o have_v adventure_v to_o publish_v this_o little_a book_n wherein_o i_o have_v brief_o and_o plain_o lay_v down_o the_o whole_a art_n as_o to_o the_o geometrical_a part_n thereof_o begin_v at_o the_o first_o principle_n and_o proceed_v by_o degree_n to_o the_o high_a conclusion_n i_o have_v use_v the_o more_o figure_n to_o make_v every_o thing_n the_o plain_a and_o i_o have_v provide_v such_o figure_n as_o serve_v not_o only_o for_o demonstration_n of_o the_o thing_n but_o may_v serve_v for_o instrument_n to_o work_v upon_o or_o you_o may_v easy_o by_o the_o direction_n give_v make_v the_o like_a to_o conclude_v i_o have_v study_v to_o make_v those_o thing_n plain_a which_o have_v at_o any_o time_n most_o trouble_v myself_o to_o understand_v so_o that_o i_o question_v not_o but_o that_o any_o one_o that_o be_v industrious_a may_v here_o of_o easy_o and_o speedy_o attain_v such_o a_o competent_a measure_n by_o knowledge_n in_o this_o art_n that_o by_o god_n blessing_n upon_o his_o study_n
