degrees .32 minutes betweene the two paralelles And now to knowe by what poynt of the Compasse doo this Rome is to the East wardes of London .16 degrees .46 mi. for that it is more degrees in longitude Wherfore you most seeke howe many myles that it is first in your paralell and heere at London .37 myles dooth answere vnto one degree therefore multiply .16 times .37 and that commeth vnto .592 and then there is .46 minutes more and that commeth vnto .28 miles and better Then put .28 vnto .592 and that maketh .620 so that you may conclude that it is .620 myles from London vnto the Meridian of Rome in the paralel of London And nowe the latitude of Rome is .42 degrees and then .44 myles maketh a degree in that paralel Wherefore multiply .16 times .44 and that maketh .704 and then there is .46 minutes more and that maketh .33 myles and better Wherefore adde .33 vnto .704 there it will be .737 so that you may conclude that it is from Rome vnto the Meridian of London .737 myles Wherefore adde or put both these two numbers togeâ—her that is to say 620. and .737 and that maketh .1357 And nowe take halfe this number and that will shewe vnto you howe many myles that Rome is to the Eastwardes of London and that is .678 myles and a halfe and nowe there is .9 degrees .32 minutes betweene the two paralelles and 60 myles make a degree Therefore multiply .9 times .60 and that maketh .540 and then take .32 myles more for the .32 minutes .32 â–ª put vnto .540 maketh .572 so that Rome is .572 miles vnto the Southwardes of London and nowe for that Rome is more degrees in longitude then London and fewer degrees in latitude then London therefore then Rome must needes be in the Southeast quarter and to knowe iust by what poynt then looke what both the numbers be as thus Rome is vnto the Eastwards of London 678. myles and ½ and vnto the Southwardes of London .572 myles then vewing the two numbers .572 is more then ¾ of 678. Therefore you may conclude that Rome dooth stande from London Southeast and by East and somewhat declinyng or leaning more vnto the Southwardes and if that the numbers had been equall then it had been due Southeast c. And to knowe howe many myles by that poynt of the Compasse that is shewed in the Chapter goyng before and by this order you shall knâ—w by what poynt of the Compasse that any place dooth beare from you c. ¶ The fourth Chapter sheweth the Longitude and the Latitude and by what poynt of the Compasse that sundrye places within England and Scotland and Ireland and also of certayne Ilandes neere vnto them dooth beare from the Citie of London and what distaunce of miles that they are from London by the poynt of the Compasse ouer the water and ouer the lande And also there is shewed howe muche that the Moone shall chaunge rather or later then it dooth at London and also it dooth shewe the length of the longest Sommers day for as many places as be named NOwe furthermore in so muche as I haue shewed vnto you how by the longitude and by the latitude you maye knowe by what poynt of the Compasse that any place assygned beareth from you and also at anye place assygned for to knowe the distance by that poynt of the compasse that is to say howe many myles that it is from you so in like manner I thinke it good for to shewe the longitude and the latitude of sundry principall places vpon the face of the whole earth according vnto diuers Authours that haue written thereof and also for that the Citie of London is the principall and most famous place here in England I will declare or shew vnto you by what poynt of the Compasse that any of those places doo beare or declyne vnto from the Citie of London and also howe many myles by that poynt ouer the Sea and London by that ryght lyne or poynt of the compasse And also I doo thinke it good for to shewe vnto you the diuersitie aspect of all those places by the Citie of London that is to say howe much that the Moone shall chaunge rather or later then that it shall doo at the Citie of London whereby maye be knowne the time of any Eclipse eyther of the Moone or Sunne and also the aspectes of the Moone with the other planets you knowing at what houre or tyme that it wyll happen or be at London And also I doo thinke it good for to shewe vnto you the length of the longest Sommer day in all those places that shall be named accordyng vnto the longitude and latitude and then the length of the shortest Wynter daye is soone knowne and the daye is ment to bee from the Sunne rysing vnto the Sunne setting For the latitude of places dooth alter the length of the daye and the longitude dooth alter the tymes of the Eclipses eyther of the Sunne or of the Moone wyth all the other aspectes that the Moone hath with the Sunne or any other of the Planets c.

And thus I doo ende the description of the principallest Ilandes of Asia Europa and America c. ¶ The tenth Chapter is as touching certaine thinges in the knowing of the distaunce vnto any place assigned by Longitude and by Latitude c. AND furthermore insomuche as the shortest distaunce vnto any place assigned cannot be by any one poynt of the Compasse as is before declared in the first Chapter of this seconde booke wherefore if that you doo desire for to knowe the distaunce ouer the Sea and Lande the nexte way and the shortest distaunce then you must prepare a Globe terrestrial and that the longitude and the latitude of the Townes and Cities and other notable places to be truely placed on the Globe and then take a payre of Compasses and then looke those two places in the Globe that you doo desire for to knowe the true distaunce vnto and then open your Compasses and set the one foote on the one place and the other on the other place assigned iustly and that doone then your Compasses standyng styffe and not remoued set them vnto the Equinoctiall circle on the Globe and that doone then looke howe manye degrees that it is iustly

vpwardes The Eight Chapter sheweth vnto you if that you doe knowe the distaunce then you maye knowe whether it bee higher grounde or lower then the place that you are vpon how much both by the partes of the Skall and by the degrees and also you may know whether that one Ship be hygher then another The ninth Chapter sheweth the makinge of a Crosse-staffe that in some cases is better then the Skall of the Astrolobe or Quadrant The tenth Chapter sheweth how for to vse the crossestaffe for to knowe the length of any wall or the distaunce betweene any 2. markes and also the distance from you vnto any wall or marke The eleuenth Chapter sheweth you how for to take the length of a wall when that you haue not grounde large yenough for your .2 stations or standings The twelfe Chapter sheweth you howe for to know the distaunce vnto any 2. markes or to the 2. endes of any wall by the extracting of the square roote The thirteenth Chapter sheweth howe for to knowe the distaunce vnto any marke with the Crossestaffe without the extracting of the roote and also howe for to take the height of any thing with the Crossestaffe The fourteenth Chapter sheweth vnto you howe that you shall know the distaunce of any shippe from you and you being in another shippe and both the shippes vnder sayle and goyng by the crosse staffe The fifteenth Chapter sheweth vnto you how that you shall make an instrument whereby that you you maye describe a region or countrey whiche you may call a Horizontall and also howe for to take the plat of any ground The sixteenth Chapter sheweth you howe to make a

howe by the longitude and latitude of any Cytye Towne or place for to knowe the distance in myles vnto them and also by what poynt or winde of the compasse they be from you And also there is shewed in this booke how dyuers notable Cyties Townes or places doe beare from the Citie of London both in Europe Africa Asia and America with sundry principall Ilands in the sea both by what distance they be in myles from London and what winde or poynt of the compas they are frō Londō also theyr longest day the diuersitie aspect that is to say howe much the Moone shal chaūge rather or later then it doth at the Cytie of London being very necessary for all sortes of traualers eyther by Sea or by Lande Written by william Bourne ¶ To the courteous Reader FRiendely Reader there is conteyned in this seconde Booke how by the longitude and the Latitude to knowe the distance vnto what quarter of the worlde that anye place assigned is from you that is to saye how many miles according vnto our english accoumpt and by what poynt of the Compasse anye Citie or Towne or any other notable Place is from you wheresoeuer you bee vppon the face of the whole Earth And for that the Citie of LONDON is the most notable the famousest place heere in ENGLANDE therfore I haue thought it good to assigne the Citie of London to be the place appoynted how farre sundrye notable Cities and Townes and other places worthy of memorye are from the citie of Londō both their distance in miles vnto what quarter of the world they doe beare from the Citie of London according to their longitude and latirude accordingly as sundrye authors haue set downe their longitude and latitude and also there is contayned in this second Booke the diuersitie aspecte that is to saye how much that the Moone shall change rather or later then it doth at London according vnto the Longitude of the places that are mentioned in this second Booke and also the length of the longest Sommer day at the places named in this secōd Booke according vnto the latitudes of the places sette downe in this seconde Booke And for that there is no person that hath trauailed generally through the face of the whole earth therefore they must needes of force folowe such authours as haue written therof whether they be true or not and therefore you must needs take thē as they be for otherwise I know not how it is possible for to doe it but onely to folowe the best and most Learned authors that haue written in those causes And yet the learned men that haue bene afore time must of force folow those that haue giuen vnto them the notes of the longitude and the Latitudes of any places that they haue not bene at them selues whether they be true or not And there bee a number of persons who if they doe fynde but a small fault in any Booke then by that meanes they will goe about to discredit the whole matter often repeatinge the matter yf they doe fynde any errour in it as who shoulde saye what a cunning man he is although in all the rest of the whole booke hee is not able to say any thing thereunto And it may bee possible that hee may haue no iudgement in the rest of the causes how necessarie so euer the rest of the substance of the matter is Wherefore gentle Readers if you doe finde any fault in this Booke then gently geue me warning thereof and if you doe amende the faultes therin contayned then I shall bee the more beholding vnto you c. For as touching the longitude and the latitude of places men must credit those that haue beene there for the trueth of the matter and yet euery man that hath bene at any place cannot do it for the .100 person that hath trauailed vnto places is not able to take the true latitude but much lesse the longitude of any place And furthermore as touching the true distaunce vnto any place assigned that cannot bee by any one poynt of the Compasse as is declared in this Booke c. And thus gentle Readers I betake you vnto the almightye God for euermore ¶ The second booke of the treasure for Trauaylers The first Chapter of the Second booke shewing you how for to know the distance vnto any Towne vpon the face of the earth and what is to be considered in the doing thereof c.
