declination_n to_o know_v the_o height_n of_o the_o pole_n &_o to_o take_v the_o sun_n north_n at_o the_o low_a low_a do_v this_o first_o with_o your_o cross_a staff_n observe_v the_o sun_n at_o the_o

for_o they_o that_o do_v occupy_v unto_o the_o northwards_o of_o saint_n nicholas_n in_o rousey_n it_o be_v also_o very_o necessary_a for_o they_o that_o will_v attempt_v any_o viage_n of_o

it_o be_v the_o freeze_a zone_n but_o my_o opinion_n be_v that_o in_o summer_n time_n it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v fear_v but_o the_o further_a unto_o the_o northwards_o the_o more_o temperate_a warm_a by_o mean_n of_o the_o long_a continuance_n of_o the_o sun_n for_o as_o we_o see_v by_o common_a experience_n that_o a_o thing_n once_o be_v make_v warm_a can_v sudden_o be_v make_v cold_a neither_o be_v there_o doubt_v of_o any_o great_a cold_a until_o the_o sun_n be_v unto_o the_o southwards_o of_o the_o equinoctial_a for_o i_o admit_v that_o a_o ship_n shall_v sail_v unto_o the_o northward_o and_o not_o stay_v until_o the_o north_n pole_n be_v elevate_v .80_o degree_n above_o the_o horizon_n degree_n i_o do_v think_v than_o they_o shall_v find_v it_o very_o temperate_a and_o warm_a unto_o the_o middle_n of_o september_n for_o that_o by_o the_o space_n of_o .9_o week_n together_o that_o be_v to_o say_v from_o the_o .10_o day_n of_o may_n unto_o the_o 12._o day_n of_o july_n the_o sun_n shall_v come_v no_o near_o unto_o the_o horizon_n due_a north_n than_o .10_o degree_n or_o .30_o degree_n unto_o the_o south_n part_n above_o the_o horizon_n and_o yet_o it_o be_v possible_a that_o it_o may_v be_v cold_a there_o until_o the_o end_n of_o may_n for_o that_o the_o sun_n must_v have_v a_o time_n to_o make_v the_o air_n warm_a for_o like_a as_o a_o thing_n once_o be_v cold_n can_v be_v sudden_o make_v warm_a so_o in_o like_a manner_n a_o place_n be_v once_o make_v warm_a can_v be_v sudden_o make_v cold_a and_o furthermore_o he_o that_o be_v in_o the_o latitude_n of_o .80_o

may_v see_v whether_o it_o be_v navigable_a or_o not_o the_o eleven_o chapter_n do_v show_v how_o you_o shall_v know_v the_o length_n of_o the_o day_n and_o to_o know_v how_o much_o the_o day_n be_v shorten_v or_o lengthen_v by_o the_o sun_n declination_n now_o i_o think_v it_o convenient_a for_o seafaring_a man_n too_o know_v the_o length_n of_o the_o day_n in_o any_o place_n that_o they_o have_v occasion_n too_o go_v unto_o for_o that_o they_o have_v occasion_n too_o travel_v into_o all_o the_o climate_n and_o place_n transport_v themselves_o many_o time_n quick_o from_o one_o place_n

give_v any_o order_n for_o they_o to_o know_v when_o the_o day_n be_v a_o hour_n long_o or_o short_a whereby_o they_o may_v at_o all_o time_n know_v the_o length_n of_o the_o day_n which_o notwithstanding_o be_v very_o necessary_a for_o they_o for_o that_o they_o be_v abroad_o under_o sail_n both_o night_n and_o day_n and_o in_o like_a manner_n for_o that_o they_o must_v keep_v
