of Longitudes and Latitudes I haue for the chief places of Englande vsed bothe my frendes trauailes and also mine owne obseruations And where as any place is taken oute of Ptolomaeus that shall you find noted with a starre* In whiche also thys I haue diligently obserued hauinge vi sondrye examples and Copies that where the mooste parte of them agree that I haue onlye vsed Also in describinge other Regions I haue folowed th'obseruations of th' inhabitantes As in Fraūce I haue vsed authours which are French men For Spaine Spaniardes in Germany in like case Germaines And in the late founde Ilandes suche as do of them most probably treat Moreouer I haue for the moste parte placed to euery Citie Towne Porte two names th' one Latin for the cōmunitie of the tōgue th' other as it is properly of th'inhabitauntes named And if I shal not exactly for the difficultie of the worke in all places expresse the perfite Lōgitudes Latitudes Thou muste herein pardon me frendly Reader for the cause aledged also take this in good parte seynge no man Ptolomaeus excepte hetherto haue in all partes set oute so large ample à worke But now I will cōmit it to thy descretion iudgement A PERTICVLER DESCRIPTION OF Europe VVhich in our daies conteineth Christendome and part of Turkie SEing that th'Earthe inuironed and compassed with the mightye Ocean seas semeth as it were an Iland th' ancient Geographers for the better auoyding confusiō in the describing of the face of the earth deuided it into iij. partes Europe Africke and Asia As for the fourthe parte whiche is called America or the newe worlde was vnto them vnknowne Therfore at this presente mindinge to folowe the same order I will first begin with Europe This parte was so called as histories do witnesse of an amiable Ladye called Europa being daughter to King Aginor whōe Iupiter being rauished with her beuty espying among à companye of other virgins playinge by the sea side caried away out of Africke saylinge throughe the Ponticke Seas vntyll he came into Crete This storie the Poëtes in this wise do resite how that Iupiter turned into à white Bul did cari hir on his back thorow the seas into Crete which bul was no other thing thē that in their Ensigns Flagges the Cretētiās nauie bare the white Bul. This part of th'erth is pleasantly separated from Africk by the middle earth Seas which is so named of sundry Nations that it norisheth It is also parted from Asia by the notable Riuer Tanais whiche from the North partes with great violence runneth into Ponte Euxine The Heauens in this part giueth temperatnes of Aëre th' Earth flowing with aboundance of all thinges necessary for mans vse As Graines Fruites Fishe Foule Oyles Wines Catell Metalles suche like The nature of the people more ciuill frindlyke wise learned apter vnto warres then they of Afrike Asia And although it may seme much inferior to them if you do consider the bignes quantitie yet in the commodities to it belonging it shal be to either of them equiualēt Morouer it is beautified with pleasaūt Ilandes adorned with notable Riuers finally garnished with innumerable Cities Townes Fortresses Uillages The length by directe distaunce from the vttermoste confines borders of Spaine vnto Constantinople in Graece the furdest place East of all Europe conteineth after Ptolomaeus minde 2200. Englishe miles the breadth of it to be somwhat lesser Ptolomaeus affirmeth Notwithstanding if you rekē the Septentrion all Regiōs which ware to Ptolomaeus vnknowen as Sueulande Gothlande Norway other such you shal well perceiue the Latitude to excede the length of the same Ther are also in Europe many perticuler Regions as Englande Irlande Scotlande Spayne Fraunce Germany Italy Polande Unlgarie Denmarke Graece diuerse vnto the nūber as Ptolomaeus affirmith of 34.
