the ordaining of Measures and Monies by which you may perceive that this Vniverse being compared together seemeth but one large and spacious Empire howsoever under divers Governments Again the Peregrination of our Saviour the manner of his wonderful Nativity his long and Tedious Iourneys the condition of his estate whiles he was upon the Earth and as near as can be guest at what time he did most of his Miracles how he behaved himself when he was betrayed with a description of the manner of his death and the Travels of Peter Paul and many other of his Apostles after his death All which things I have with much labour compiled together for your profit and expect nothing in recompence for my pains but your Love And so I commit you to God Yours R. B. A BRIEF DECLARATION OF GEOMETRICAL MEASVRES A Degree of the Heavens is fifteen German or Dutch miles one minute is one quarter of a Dutch mile so that four minutes make a Dutch mile Diversity of miles A Dutch mile is four thousand paces the Spanish miles be very near so long as the Dutch A French mile is two thousand paces a Walloon or Italian mile is a thousand paces so that four Walloon miles make a Dutch mile The word Mile is derived from the Latine word Mille for one thousand paces make a Walloon mile as Gualtherus H. Revius writeth Of Stades or Furlongs THE word Stadium in Latin in English a Furlong is a measure of ground whereof there be three sorts Italicum Olympicum Pyth●cum That of Italy contained 625 Feet which is 125 Paces half a quarter of an Italian mile The second sort was of the Hill Olympus in Greece where was a Game or Prize kept by the Princes and Cities of Greece every fifth year in the Honour of Hercules who first began it This measure of ground Stadium Olympicum contained 600 Feet that is 120 paces The third kind of Stade or Furlong contained 1000 Feet which is 200 Paces whereof haply arose the difference of Pliny and Diodorus Siculus in describing Sicily What a Furlong is Fifteen Dutch miles make a Degree and a Degree of the Heavens answereth to 480 Furlongs upon Earth whereby it is manifest that 32 Furlongs is a German or common Dutch mile One Minute equalleth eight Furlongs which make an Italian or Walloon mile the fourth part of a Dutch mile Two Minutes of the Heavens or sixteen Furlongs make a Dutch mile Four half of a Dutch mile Three minutes equal 24 Stades or Furlongs which make three quarters of a Dutch mile Four minutes equal 32 Furlongs that is to say a German or Dutch mile The Holy Evangelists S. Luke cap. 24 ver 13. and S. Iohn c. 11. ver 8. reckon the way by Furlongs S. Luke saith the Town Emaus was distant from Ierusalem sixty Furlongs and St. Iohn saith Bethania was fifteen Furlongs distant from Ierusalem Whence it appeareth that Emaus was distant from Ierusalem almost two Dutch miles seven Walloon miles and a half and Bethania almost half a Dutch mile which is a mile a half and half a quarter Iosephus writeth That Mount Olivet was distant from Ierusalem five Furlongs that is a little more than half a quarter of a Dutch mile which is half an Italian mile and half a quarter The same Iosephus saith That the circuit of the City of Ierusalem was thirty three Furlongs a Dutch mile and half a quarter Others say it was four miles in Compass which being understood of Italian or Walloon miles make little or no difference ●eeing it is but the half of a half quarter of a Dutch mile Strabo writeth That the City of Babylon was 380 Furlongs in Circuit that is twelve Dutch miles The Circuit of Samaria was twenty Furlongs that is half a Dutch and half a quarter which is two Italian miles and a half How the Romans measured their Miles THE Romans measured their miles by Paces which they call Passus and that kind of measuring is done after this manner Four Barley-corns laid long-ways one by the other make the breadth of a Finger four Fingers broad make the breadth of an Hand four Hands broad make the length of a Foot which measure is now extant five feet make a Geometrical or great Pace one hundred twenty five such Paces are a Furlong eight Furlongs are one thousand Paces or Walloon mile two thousand Paces are a French mile Ex granis quatuor formabitur unus Est quater in palmo digitus quater in pede palmus Quinque pedes passum faciunt passus quoque centum Viginti quinque stadium dant Sed milliare Octo dabunt stadia duplicatum sit tibi Leuca Four thousand Paces are a Dutch mile I mean a common Dutch mile whereof fifteen are reckoned to a Degree of the Heavens for the Switzer miles are commonly a quarter of a Dutch mile longer than common Dutch miles But through this Book by miles we understand common Dutch miles whereof four thousand Paces make a mile Whosoever will understand St. Ierom. well de locis Hebraicis must mark whether he reckons by Miles or by Stones The miles specified by him are Walloon miles whereof four make a Dutch mile as aforesaid the Stone whereof he writeth whereby also they did measure and divide the way are reckoned six to a Dutch mile To the end that all men that have any little Understanding in Geometry and Cosmography may make the Tables and cast them and at their Pleasure inlarge or diminish them I have here for their direction set down the Longitude and Latitude of the most principal Towns the former Numbers shew the degrees and minutes of the Longitude the later Numbers declare the degrees and minutes of the Latitude   Long.
