william_n bourne_n wish_v increase_v of_o honour_n in_o perfect_a health_n right_o honourable_a and_o my_o singular_a good_a lord_n and_o master_n when_o i_o have_v often_o repeat_v and_o call_v to_o

they_o good_a so_o at_o sundry_a time_n have_v i_o study_v and_o devise_v with_o myself_o what_o thing_n to_o take_v in_o ●●nde_n that_o may_v most_o profit_v my_o friend_n and_o my_o 〈◊〉_d country_n and_o at_o the_o length_n it_o come_v unto_o my_o remembrance_n how_o necessary_a a_o thing_n it_o be_v for_o seafaring_a man_n to_o have_v some_o good_a instruction_n whereupon_o i_o have_v write_v this_o base_a and_o simple_a regiment_n for_o the_o sea_n and_o rule_n of_o navigation_n for_o that_o i_o know_v it_o to_o be_v so_o needful_a and_o necessary_a for_o all_o sort_n of_o sea_n man_n therefore_o at_o sundry_a time_n as_o i_o have_v have_v leisure_n i_o have_v compile_v and_o write_v this_o base_a and_o simple_a work_n call_v to_o remembrance_n the_o say_n of_o pliny_n who_o think_v all_o that_o time_n lose_v which_o he_o do_v not_o bestow_v at_o his_o book_n i_o be_v of_o all_o other_o most_o simple_a yet_o notwithstanding_o this_o enterprise_n have_v i_o take_v in_o hand_n to_o publish_v this_o simple_a book_n unto_o all_o man_n and_o for_o that_o all_o my_o labour_n be_v due_a unto_o your_o honourable_a lordship_n according_a to_o my_o bind_a duty_n i_o prefer_v it_o unto_o your_o honour_n hope_v that_o your_o lordship_n will_v vouchsafe_v to_o take_v it_o in_o good_a part_n and_o to_o receive_v this_o barbarous_a work_n more_o to_o take_v it_o as_o my_o good_a will_n whiche_n be_v to_o offer_v thing_n of_o much_o more_o excellency_n than_o the_o fineness_n of_o the_o work_n for_o that_o it_o be_v but_o simple_a aând_v so_o shall_v i_o not_o only_o be_v satisfy_v but_o also_o further_o encourage_v heereafeer_n to_o travel_v according_a to_o the_o simple_a gift_n and_o talon_n that_o god_n have_v give_v unto_o i_o for_o that_o it_o be_v not_o altogether_o gather_v out_o of_o other_o book_n but_o that_o the_o great_a part_n be_v devise_v and_o practise_v by_o i_o therefore_o i_o trust_v my_o labour_n such_o as_o they_o be_v shall_v not_o hinder_v the_o cunning_a and_o learned_a sort_n but_o further_o the_o late_a beginner_n that_o be_v as_o yet_o not_o well_o instruct_v and_o thus_o i_o cease_v to_o trouble_v your_o honourable_a

common_a wealth_n be_v most_o profitable_a and_o necessary_a then_o may_v i_o bold_o say_v without_o just_a cause_n of_o reproof_n and_o affirm_v that_o navigation_n be_v not_o the_o least_o but_o one_o of_o the_o principal_a matter_n to_o be_v know_v as_o this_o time_n do_v require_v consider_v the_o state_n and_o situation_n of_o our_o country_n for_o that_o we_o be_v environ_v round_o

thing_n i_o say_v consider_v what_o can_v there_o be_v more_o necessary_a to_o be_v teach_v in_o our_o common_a wealth_n than_o navigation_n consider_v also_o what_o navigation_n be_v as_o navigation_n be_v how_o to_o direct_v one_o course_n upon_o or_o through_o the_o sea_n where_o he_o find_v no_o path_n to_o any_o place_n assign_v and_o how_o to_o attain_v the_o port_n or_o place_n

moreover_o and_o beside_o that_o it_o be_v not_o unknown_a how_o necessary_a navigation_n be_v both_o for_o the_o transportation_n of_o our_o commodity_n to_o find_v vent_n for_o they_o in_o other_o country_n whereby_o no_o small_a number_a of_o people_n be_v set_v a_o work_n in_o england_n and_o also_o the_o bring_n of_o other_o commodity_n that_o we_o have_v need_n of_o unto_o we_o by_o which_o

country_n which_o whether_o it_o be_v true_a i_o refer_v to_o the_o judgement_n of_o all_o man_n and_o although_o i_o be_v but_o simple_a gentle_a reader_n &_o a_o great_a number_n of_o excellent_a

with_o a_o few_o rule_n of_o navigation_n as_o it_o be_v a_o nosegay_n who_o flower_n be_v of_o my_o own_o gather_n and_o albeit_o the_o learned_a sort_n of_o seafaring_a man_n have_v no_o need_n of_o this_o book_n yet_o be_o i_o assure_v that_o it_o be_v a_o necessary_a book_n for_o the_o simple_a sort_n of_o seafaring_a man_n for_o that_o they_o shall_v find_v here_o the_o name_n of_o the_o

in_o good_a part_n be_v willing_a to_o pleasure_v my_o native_a country_n according_a to_o the_o simple_a talon_n that_o god_n have_v give_v i_o and_o whereas_o you_o find_v any_o error_n i_o pray_v you_o let_v i_o gentle_o understand_v for_o i_o think_v not_o that_o i_o cause_n circumspect_o work_v but_o i_o may_v be_v deceive_v for_o man_n can_v be_v so_o precise_a but_o he_o may_v err_v and_o i_o have_v seldom_o hear_v of_o any_o the_o best_a author_n but_o he_o have_v err_v in_o some_o point_n therefore_o in_o those_o thing_n that_o he_o know_v not_o of_o himself_o he_o must_v needs_o
