and_o in_o other_o place_n map_n in_o the_o singular_a number_n the_o word_n map_n be_v use_v when_o both_o be_v join_v together_o as_o one_o as_o it_o be_v best_o but_o when_o it_o be_v bind_v up_o in_o a_o book_n it_o be_v too_o big_a to_o be_v fold_v up_o in_o one_o and_o therefore_o each_o part_n be_v fold_v up_o by_o itself_o which_o make_v two_o map_n the_o one_o contain_v england_n wales_n

and_o in_o this_o sense_n they_o be_v call_v map_n a_o if_o you_o be_v to_o travel_v to_o any_o place_n for_o which_o you_o have_v no_o direction_n in_o this_o book_n first_o find_v the_o town_n in_o the_o map_n that_o you_o be_v to_o go_v from_o and_o also_o the_o town_n you_o be_v to_o go_v to_o then_o lay_v a_o thread_n straight_o upon_o the_o map_n from_o the_o one_o town_n to_o the_o other_o this_o thread_n do_v show_v you_o the_o town_n in_o the_o near_a way_n if_o you_o can_v travel_v as_o straight_o as_o you_o can_v look_v but_o because_o the_o way_n be_v general_o crooked_a therefore_o you_o be_v many_o time_n enforce_v to_o go_v out_o of_o the_o straight_a way_n but_o be_v sure_a you_o go_v not_o far_o from_o it_o for_o the_o near_a you_o go_v to_o that_o straight_a line_n the_o less_o you_o go_v about_o if_o you_o be_v to_o travel_v to_o any_o town_n not_o name_v in_o the_o map_n than_o you_o must_v learn_v between_o what_o two_o town_n name_v in_o the_o map_n the_o place_n you_o desire_v to_o go_v to_o stand_v and_o according_a to_o the_o distance_n from_o either_o of_o they_o suppose_v it_o be_v place_v in_o this_o map_n then_o find_v your_o way_n as_o

the_o map_n and_o the_o use_n thereof_o of_o the_o table_n of_o the_o highway_n forasmuch_o as_o many_o country_n people_n do_v not_o understand_v what_o a_o column_n be_v which_o they_o must_v do_v
