Zones and where placed Furthermore By help of the said four Circles the Earth as I said before is divided into five Zones one hot two temperate and two cold The hot is contained betwixt the two Tropicks in the midst of which the Equinoctial line is placed of the two temperate Zones the one lieth betwixt the Tropick of Cancer and the Circle Artick and the other betwixt the Tropick of Capricorn and the Circle Antartick and of the cold Zones the one lieth betwixt the North Pole and the Circle Artick and the other betwixt the South Pole and the Circle Antartick Moreover besides the four special Parallels there be also divers other Parellels drawn on each of the Equinoctial both Northward and Southward which crossing in certain points the first Meridian marked with degrees do shew the true Latitude of every place and under what Clime or Parallel it is and also how many hours the longest day of any place under every Parallel is beginning to account the same either from the Equinoctial upward towards the North Pole along the first Meridian marked with degrees of Northern Latitude or else from the first Equinoctial downwards towards the South Pole marked with degrees of Southern Latitude The division of the World into four parts Also this World in all common Maps and Cards is divided into four parts Europe Africk Asia and America the bounds whereof will not be amiss here to be observed and how many miles each particular division containeth as well in Longitude as in Latitude according to the opinion of Mercator whom I willingly follow for my director in this point Europe Europe then is bounded on the North with the North Ocean Sea and on the South with the Mediterranean Sea on the East with the Flood Tanais and on the West with the West Oceane and Europe in measuring with a right line from the farthest part of Ireland on the West unto the Flood Tanais on the East both places having 52 degrees of Latitude Long. 2166 miles hath in Longitude 2166 miles and in measuring with a right line from the farthest part of Morea on the South whose Latitude is 35 degrees unto the North Sea side having 72 degrees of Latitude Lat. 2220 miles hath in Longitude 2220 miles or thereabouts Africa Africa is bounded on the North with the Straight Sea Gibralter and with the Mediterranean Sea and on the South with a Sea which divideth Africa from the South Land not yet to us fully known and on the East with the Red Sea and on the West with the great Atlantick Ocean and in the measuring of Africa with a right line from Gambra on the West unto the Cape de Gardaso on the East both places having 10 degrees of North Latitude Long. 4425 miles hath in Longitude 4425 miles and in measuring with a right line from the 50. degree of the Equinoctiall unto the Mediterranean Sea it hath in North Latitude 32 degrees which multiplied by 60 maketh 1920 miles and in South Latitude measuring with a right line from the 50. degree of the Equinoctial unto the Cape of bona Esperansa it hath 35 degrees which also multiplied by 60 makes 2100 miles Lat. 4020 miles which maketh the whole Latitude of Africa to be 4020 miles or thereabouts Asia Asia is bounded on the North with the North Ocean Sea and on the South partly with the Red Sea and partly with the other Seas and Gulphs adjoyning thereto on the East with the East India Ocean and the Straight Sea of Anian and on the West with the Flood Tanais and Fens of Meotis with the Cimmerian and Thracian Bosphorus the Euxine and Mediterranean Sea and part of the Arabian Gulph and Asia then in measuring with a right line from the mouth of the Flood Tanais to the Promontory Tamos both places having 50 degrees of Latitude Long. 4284 hath in Longitude 4284 miles and in measuring with a right line from the 150. degree of the Equinoctial unto the Promontory Tabin it hath in North Latitude 75 degrees Latit 4500. which being multiplied by 60 maketh 4500 miles America America is bounded on the North with the North Ocean Sea and on the South with the Magellanick Sea on the East with the Atlantick Ocean on the West with the West Indian Ocean and the Straights of Anian and in measuring with a right line from the Straights of Anian to the furthest part of Estotiland upon the 64. degree of Latitude hath in Longitude 164 degrees Long. 4264. which maketh 4264 miles and in measuring with a right line from the 270 degree of the Equinoctial unto the North Sea it hath in North Latitude 76 degrees which makes 4560 miles and in measuring with a right line from the 305. degree of the Equinoctial unto the Magellanick Sea it hath in South Latitude 53 degrees Latit 3210. which makes at 60 miles the degree 3210 miles Thus far shall suffice to have spoken in general of the Lines Circles and Divisions of the Universal Maps and Cards found to be made by our Modern Cosmographers That which cometh in the next place to be handled as the more material and useful part belonging to my present work is the knowledge and situation of every Kingdom Region City Mountain Flood and Lake found in this circumference also the knowledge of the Seas together with the Islands Ports Capes Points and Bays which do belong to every one of the aforesaid parts and divisions of the World and that are found therein comprised which principally is manifested and learned by the Longitude and Latitude thereof in it self which teacheth these particulars Latitude how accounted First The very situation of the place Secondly The very distance from one place or City to another Thirdly How one place lieth from another And lastly With what wind you may sail from one Point Cape or City maritime to another in which four things the chief use of Maps are found principally to consist First then The degrees of Latitude or the elevation of the Pole being both one thing is accounted from the Equinoctial to either Pole which is 90 degrees and the degrees of Longitude accounted upon the said Equinoctial from the Isles of Cape Verde towards the East and so round about the Earth till you come to the number of 360 degrees where it is to be noted that the Provinces and Towns situated under one and the same degree of Latitude have at the same time like hours of the day but those that are situated under divers degrees of Longitude do differ in number of hours and that is the cause that when it is in one Town noon-tide it is in another Town distant thence 30 degrees towards the East two a clock in the afternoon and so consequently for every 15 degrees distance it is then found to differ one hour in time Days and nights differ according to the Latitude Also those that dwell under

one and the self same degree of Latitude have equal quantity of days and nights but yet so as they which dwell on the South side of the Equinoctial have the shortest day when we have the longest and have their Winter when we have Summer and those that are under divers degrees of Latitude have inequality of days and nights for the nigher that any place is situated towards any of the Poles the more hours the longest day of the year in that place hath and those that dwell under the Equinoctial have always their days and nights of like quantity but I understand here by the day the space between Sun-rising and Sun-setting so that to those that have 30 degrees of Latitude the longest day is almost 14 hours and the nigher the Pole the longer insomuch as those that dwell under the Pole and whose Zenith is the Pole their year is but a day and a night that is to say they have six months day and six months night It is also to be noted that the Meridians are sound to have many necessary uses in the general and common Maps for thereby is learned that it is noon tide or mid day sooner in one place than in another by observing that Meridian that is most towards the East which the Sun toucheth always sooner than that Meridian which is more towards the West Meridians and their use By the Meridian is also known how the Eclipse of the Moon appeareth sooner to one place than to another and sheweth what variety of time for they whose Meridian is toward the West do see the Moon sooner than they whose Meridian is more towards the East Eclipse of the Moon when seen whereas indeed the Eclipse of the Moon is seen to all places where it can be seen at one very instant of like greatness and yet seemeth to be seen later or sooner by reason of the diversity of the time of the day in places standing one East or West from another and if the distance betwixt those two Meridians do contain 15 degrees of the Equinoctial then the Eclipse appeareth to be sooner to the one than to the other by one whole hour according to my former assertion for every 15 degrees maketh an hour and therefore observe how many 15 degrees you find betwixt the two Meridians so many hours are to be accounted and if fewer degrees be found then the time of the Eclipse is to be shortned accordingly attributing four minutes of an hour to one degree c. Eclipse of the Sun when seen As for the Eclipse of the Sun it is seen neither generally nor fully at one self-same time nor yet of the same greatness in all places indeed it appears sooner to the Western Countries than to the Eastern but the diversity of the time of appearance doth depend not only on the number of Meridians betwixt the two places but also of the swift or slow motion of the Moon which coming betwixt us and the Sun taketh the sight of the Sun from us Latitude and Longitude found out by the Meridians The Latitude and Longitude of Cities and places may be found out by the Meridians also but here it is observable that the degrees of Latitude are in all places of like bigness as making ever 60 miles but the degrees of Longitude proceeding from the Equinoctial towards any of the two Poles are unequal and every one shorter than the other and containing four miles so that if two Ships were under the Equinoctial 150 degrees distant each from other and being to sail towards the North Pole upon the same course when they come to the 60 degree of Latitude their distance shall be but 76 leagues and the farther they go towards the Pole the less distance they shall be one from the other insomuch as when they are right under the Pole it self they shall both meet but this point more particularly concerns Navigation which so far forth as it is requisite to the knowledge of a Merchant I have handled in my Book of the Factors Aviso which together with a Collection of the Sea-laws I intend God willing hereafter to publish Now forasmuch as the use of these Latitudes and Longitudes is most necessary and needful in this Art it is proper I should set down the ways whereby not only these Latitudes and Longitudes but also the distances of all Cities and places by all universal Maps and Sea Cards that are perfectly drawn and delineated is learned and found out To find out the Longitude of a place First then To find out the Longitude of any place do thus Extend a thred so as it pass through the Pole and through the place whose Longitude you seek in any Map or Card even to the very Equinoctial and somewhat beyond holding the thred strait and then the number of degrees written upon the Equinoctial or Parallel will shew the Longitude Again By the Meridians likewise are known what Longitude any place in the Map hath as thus set the one foot of a pair of Compasses in the place it self and the other in some Meridian that is next unto it whether on the right hand or on the left it matters not from thence draw down your Compass following still that Meridian until you come to the Equinoctial line and there mark upon what degree of the Equinoctial that foot of the Compass which you did first put in the place doth rest then count how many degrees that is distant from the first Meridian and that is the true Longitude of the place and note that that Longitude serveth to all the places that be under that Meridian though they be never so far distant one from another North and South To find out the Latitude of a place Now for the Latitude of that place or any other do thus Set the one foot of your Compasses in the very Pole extending the other to the Place or City whose Latitude you seek and keeping your Compass at that wideness bring the moveable foot to the first Meridian whereon the degrees of Latitude are marked and there staying it the number of the degrees counting from the Equinoctial upwards towards the Pole will shew the Latitude of the place sought and note that the like Latitude have all they that dwell under that Parallel how far soever they dwell asunder East and West and by knowing the Latitude of any place you may quickly also find in some Maps under what Clime or Parallel such a 〈◊〉 〈…〉 and of how many hours the longest day is there Now to know how one place beareth from another and with what wind your Ship is to be directed from one Maritime Port to another is needless here to be handled as not pertinent to my task but for what distance is betwixt two several places many Cosmographers have found by several ways taught the same one only the most common in use I will pitch upon as the most facile and easie To
