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.

thither what length the day is of wheÌ„ he is theâ—e as I haue knowne a great number of persons that haue trauayled vnto sundry places wheÌ„ they haue come home they haue had no iudgement at all as touching that place that they haue trauayled vnto for that they haue not knowne vnto what quarter of the worlde the place is that they haue beene at neither in respect what the distance is thither And these matters are shewed in the second booke And also it is not hurtfull but necessary for a Trauayler to know how to measure al manner of Superficalles as land pauementes bourd and Glasse and solid bodies as Tymber and Stone and the burthen or tonnage of shyps and the bignesse of any thing And furthermore it is necessary for a Trauailer in like maner to haue a way to get the true waight of any thing that swimmerh on the water in like maner to know the waight of any thing that synketh into the water what it waigheth in the water to be lifted froÌ„ the bottome vnto the superficiall part of the water as it is declared in the fourth boke And furthermore it is very necessary conuenient for Trauaylers either by Sea or by land to haue knowledge in the natural causes of sundry things that are to be seene in trauayling as the cause of sands bankes as well in riuers as in the sea and the cause of Marish ground and meddowes the cause of cliffes on the sides of riuers on the sea coast with such other like matters as is declared in the fifth and last Booke And now it is possible that some persons wyll marueyle that I being so simple and not learned shoulde take vppon me to be a medler in these causes for that they be matters that doo appertayne vnto learned men And it is possible that it wil be dislyked of a nuÌ„ber of people as enuie dwelleth generally in the hartes of most men for that is the propertie of many people to dislyke all things that are not doone by them selues vsing to reade Bookes to no other ende but to fynde faultes in them And yet it is possible that they will do nothing theÌ„ selues which were a cause of discouragyng vnto any person that dooth write yet notwithstanding it shal not discourage me for that I am vtterly vnlearned and therefore it shall not dislyke me if any learned man dooth fynde any faulte therein for I beyng simple and vnlearned it is no discredite for me eyther to be taught or to haue the faultes shewed vnto me For by that meanes I may refourme the faultes either by them or my selfe And furthermore I doo not intende to make any booke to teach them that are cunning learned But the only cause of my writing of this booke is to instruct or teach them that are simple and vnlearned And therefore notwithstandyng I shal the better lyke of it if any learned man should write or set out any booke as touching these causes to refourme this And my opinion is this if that any Booke be set foorth vnto the common people in the world that then it is to the ende to teach the symplest sort of people that are not instructed in learned causes But if that it be any high poynt in learned causes then it is not for the common sort of people but to be in learned mens Libraries and therfore as it is not written by a learned man so in lyke manner you must not looke for fyne or eloquent schole termes but euen to take the substance of the matter rudely as it is and more to regarde the necessarinesse of the matter whether it may doe any good in the common wealth c. And yet notwithstanding my opinion is this that no person is to be disliked of that doth his good wil and endeuour to doo good in the common wealth howesoeuer that it prooueth But those persons are vtterly to be dyslyked of that doo hurt willyngly in the common wealth as extortioners and vsurers and conuayers of Corne and Vitayles and other necessaries and commodityes that his countrey dooth lacke or hath neede of And al those persons are not to be thought well of that doo desyre to lyue easily abusing the good benefytes that God dooth blesse the earth with as al licentious lyuers as drunkardes banketters whoores and whooremaysters and such as doo vse an excesse in apparell much aboue their degree And also those people are to be abhorred of al men who doo annoy the earth that vse quarrellyng and fyghtyng robbyng and stealyng caryng not howe they come by it so that they may haue it with which this our countrey of England floweth at this day the more is the pytie for what wickednesse is there that can be deuysed but that it is vsed here in England amongst al degrees which must needes procure the wrath of God to lyght vppon vs. And there is as great abuse amongest the Clergie which should be as Lanternes to geue vs lyght to leade vs vnto vertue But now in these dayes they be as Lanternes to leade vs vnto vice So that al degrees of people are geuen vnto wickednesse although that we haue the Gospel of Iesus Christ preached dayly vnto vs yet wickednes doth abound for what synne or wickednesse is there but that it is suffered and vsed as wichcraft and sorcery and magical Inchantment and coungering which is the greatest and most abominable dishonouring of God that may be For in theyr magicall Inchantment and coungeryng doo they not obserue houres in the making of Carecters set vp pickturs of the Roode and Agnus Dei and the Doome and a number of such other pickturs paynted and gilded vppon Virgin Parchment as they cal it And then in like maner their cirkles must be perfumed inbalmed with sweete odours and they must haue a knaue priest made by the Popes lawe to hallowe a certayne portion with a number of such vayne Ceremonies And when that they haue the diuel whom they doe serue doo geue him in some cases some thing for a sacrifice and when that they doo geue the diuel a charge to tel them any question that they would knowe then are vsed a number of superstitious wordes as in the name of the virginitie of the Virgin Mary and the head of Iohn Baptist and a number of vaine Saintes more besides a number of such detestable Ceremonies to the great dishonouring of God c. And who is the cause and the procurement of these most odious and detestable matters but a number of vaine wicked people yea some of theÌ„ be of no smal wealth nor calling that do procure these matters For if that they haue lost any thing theÌ„ they must repaire vnto a Coniurer to know where that is againe And furthermore there are some vaine foolish Gentlemen which seeke to liue pleasantly and idlely that must
