to_o a_o segment_n of_o the_o same_o rumbe_n intercept_v betwixt_o the_o aequator_fw-la and_o the_o parallel_n of_o ten_o gr_n of_o latitude_n and_o the_o reason_n be_v because_o the_o pole_n be_v

tax_v by_o michael_n coignet_n these_o thing_n be_v well_o consider_v it_o will_v be_v easy_a to_o understand_v what_o manner_n of_o line_n a_o ship_n follow_v the_o direction_n of_o the_o magnet_n
