lose_v nothing_o by_o remember_v for_o i_o have_v profit_v by_o my_o own_o labour_n in_o do_v this_o but_o my_o intent_n and_o the_o use_n of_o this_o book_n be_v to_o instruct_v one_o who_o quality_n attendance_n indisposition_n of_o body_n or_o the_o like_a can_v permit_v to_o gain_v the_o knowledge_n of_o term_n name_n word_n the_o part_n quality_n and_o manner_n or_o do_v thing_n with_o ship_n by_o long_a experience_n without_o which_o there_o have_v not_o any_o one_o arrive_v as_o yet_o to_o the_o least_o judgement_n or_o knowledge_n of_o they_o it_o be_v so_o that_o very_o few_o

some_o part_n of_o a_o ship_n but_o he_o who_o will_v teach_v another_o must_v understand_v thing_n plain_o and_o distinct_o himself_o that_o in_o stead_n of_o resolve_v another_o man_n doubt_n he_o do_v not_o puzell_n he_o with_o more_o confusion_n of_o term_n of_o art_n and_o so_o to_o appear_v to_o know_v somewhat_o will_v still_o expound_v ignotum_fw-la per_fw-la ignotius_fw-la and_o for_o

tell_v i_o why_o the_o vulgar_a sort_n of_o seaman_n hate_v land-man_n so_o much_o either_o he_o or_o i_o may_v give_v the_o reason_n why_o they_o be_v so_o unwilling_a to_o instruct_v they_o in_o their_o art_n whence_o it_o be_v that_o so_o many_o gentleman_n go_v long_a voyage_n and_o return_v in_o a_o manner_n as_o ignorant_a and_o as_o unable_a to_o do_v their_o country_n service_n as_o when_o they_o go_v out_o these_o word_n term_n and_o proper_a name_n which_o i_o set_v down_o in_o this_o book_n be_v belong_v either_o to_o a_o ship_n to_o show_v her_o part_n quality_n or_o some_o

in_o any_o kind_n appertain_v to_o that_o word_n which_o for_o better_a and_o easy_a finding-out_a and_o to_o avoid_v confusion_n i_o have_v bring_v into_o a_o alphabet_n the_o use_n and_o benefit_n
