any peece of ground prepare an Instrument made of mettall or of Cypresse wood like vnto the Figure following And after you haue set it flatte and leuel vppon a foote or vpon a stoole in an high place from whence you may see round about many other notable places Note that the variation of euery compasse in England is 11 degrees ¼ of a degree and that for the same cause in euery compasse within England the North poynte lyeth directly against the North pole the South poynt lieth directly against the South pole when the needle of the compasse doth stande directly ouer the north and by East South and by West points in the compasse turne this Instrument named a Geographicall playne Sphere to and fro vppon his foote or for lacke of a foote vppon a stoole till by the ayde of his needle you haue made all his Semidiameters to pointe vnto their proper quarters This done the Instrument remayning stedfast direct the Index with his two sights to euery place that shall be set foorth in your platte taking your markes through the said sights in the middest of euery of them and note in a Table by it selfe the degrees cutte with the said Index in the Circle which may be called the Angles of position or Angles of sight and so make a table of your first station Then remoouing your Instrument to one of the highest places noted in your saide Table pitch your Instrument in the high place which you haue chosen for your seconde station in all respects as you did at your first station and turning the saide Index so as you may see through his sightes all the places which you did see before at your first station Note againe in an other Table the Angles of position or Angles of sightes writing the name of euery place and his Angle of sight by it After this at your comming home lay a protractor which is a circle made of wood or mettalle diuided into 360 equall partes like vnto C D the Figure following vppon a sheete of paper and making a prick thoroe the center of the saide protractor in the saide paper which prick shall represent the place of your first station write with a cole at the edge of the protractor by euery degree or Angle of sight his place and then laying your protractor aside drawe with a cole straight lines from the saide prick which representeth your first station vnto the places so noted Againe putting the center of your protractor right ouer the line which pointeth from your first station vnto your second station and hauing regard to place the prick of your second station from the prick of the first station so as the crossing of like lines may be within the compasse of your said paper turne the protractor to and fro keeping his center vppon the said line till it doe lie in euery respect as it did vppon the pricke of your first station and when you haue so done make thoroe the center of the protractor in the said line a prick which must represent the place of your second station write with a cole as you did before at the edge of the protractor by euery degree or Angle of sight his place After this taking vp the protractor from the paper draw with a cole straight lines from the pricke of your seconde station vnto the noted places and looking diligently vppon the crossing of euery two like lines write thereon a figure starre or other signe and the name of his place Now to know how farre euery place is distant from other measure by your Instrument or by a wier line the distance betweene your two stations and diuide the right line in your paper betweene the pricke of your first station and the prick of your second station into so many equall partes as there are feete yardes pases or perches betweene your two stations and then opening your compasse to one of those partes you may measure from place to place and say that there are so many feete yardes pases or perches according to the denomination of that one parte whereunto you open your Compasse as you finde partes Example Purposing to drawe the platte of a peece of ground which hath vppon it a Beacon a Tower a house a church a windmill a hill and a mount I doe first set my Geographicall plaine Sphere in all respectes according to the precepts before declared vpon the hill from whence I may see al the aforesaide places and then by turning the Index of my Instrument to euery of those places I finde that it cutteh at the middell parte of the Beacon 80 degrees at the middle parte of the Tower 95 degrees at the middle parte of the house 110 degrees at the middle parte of the church 130 degrees and ⅔ of a degree at the middle parte of the windemill 155 degrees and ½ of a degree and at that parte of the mount where I will make my second station 180 degrees whereuppon I make a table of my first station after this manner The Table of my first station The Beacon 80 degrees The tower 95 degrees The house 110 degrees The church 130 degrees ⅔ The windemill 155 degrees ½ The mount 180 degrees This done I transporte my saide Instrument vnto that parte of the mount which I haue noted for my second station and placing it there in euery respecte according to the precepts before declared I turne againe the saide Index vnto euery of the saide noted places and by so doing see that it cutteth at the middle parte of the said beacon 40 degrees at the middle parte of the tower 65 degrees at the middle parte of the house 80 degrees at the middle parte of the church 100 degrees at the middle parte of the windemill 120 degrees and ¼ wherefore after I haue measured the space betweene my two stations I make an other table of my second station thus The table of my seconde station The Beacon 40 degrees The tower 65 degrees The house 80 degrees The Church 100 degrees The windemill 120 degrees ● The space betweene my two stations is in measure 200 yardes Moreouer I doe lay my portractor vppon a sheete of paper and hauing made a pricke in the same paper with the poynt of a needle thrust thorow a little hole in the center of the same protractor I make a poynte with a cole in the edge of the protractor at euery degree and parte of a degree noted in the table of my first station and then taking my protractor vp from the paper doe drawe straight lines vnto euery of those points write with a cole their names After all this I doe put the center of my protractor right vppon the line which pointeth from my first station vnto my second station in a reasonable distance from the prick that representeth in the paper my first station and making an other pricke in the saide line with the pointe of a needle thrust thorow the
