which_o be_v that_o which_o we_o call_v variation_n but_o yet_o the_o vastenesse_n of_o the_o ocean_n do_v not_o hinder_v the_o declination_n of_o the_o magnetical_a needle_n because_o his_o hang_n

region_n lie_v easterly_a or_o westerly_a from_o you_o it_o will_v cause_v the_o needle_n somewhat_o to_o swerve_v that_o way_n but_o variation_n of_o this_o sort_n be_v of_o small_a continuance_n and_o in_o sail_v subject_n unto_o sudden_a alteration_n yea_o many_o time_n quite_o contrary_a from_o westerly_a to_o easterly_n &_o afterward_o back_o again_o within_o short_a space_n as_o our_o first_o famous_a pilot_n steven_n burrough_n find_v by_o his_o experience_n in_o the_o discovery_n of_o the_o scythian_a sea-coast_n between_o the_o north_n cape_n of_o finmarke_n and_o vaygates_n the_o reason_n whereof_o ought_v heedful_o to_o be_v regard_v which_o be_v that_o the_o magnetical_a force_n of_o the_o whole_a earth_n do_v as_o in_o all_o magnet_n show_v itself_o most_o strong_o in_o the_o two_o pole_n thereof_o and_o in_o those_o place_n which_o be_v near_o unto_o they_o but_o always_o it_o must_v be_v remember_v that_o all_o the_o force_n they_o have_v do_v issue_n out_o of_o the_o whole_a terrestrial_a body_n as_o it_o do_v likewise_o in_o all_o magnet_n out_o of_o the_o body_n of_o the_o magnet_n and_o therefore_o in_o any_o part_n of_o the_o superficies_n of_o the_o whole_a terrestrial_a body_n it_o be_v impossible_a that_o any_o variation_n be_v above_o 90._o degree_n because_o the_o virtue_n of_o the_o whole_a can_v never_o be_v oversway_v by_o the_o imperfection_n of_o a_o part_n and_o especial_o of_o so_o small_a a_o part_n as_o any_o one_o portion_n of_o the_o ocean_n be_v in_o his_o very_a superficies_n in_o respect_n of_o the_o body_n of_o the_o whole_a earth_n yea_o i_o be_o thorough_o persuade_v that_o there_o never_o be_v nor_o ever_o will_v be_v any_o variation_n by_o any_o good_a observation_n find_v for_o to_o be_v so_o much_o

the_o true_a meridian_n for_o asmuch_o as_o in_o place_n near_o the_o pole_n there_o be_v no_o manner_n of_o certainty_n of_o either_o of_o these_o it_o be_v not_o possible_a to_o find_v the_o
