know how many Fathome of our fourth size Cordidge will serve our turne wée goe to our Table of 2 inches 2 10 parts and take out the numbers against all the other Cordidge leaving out that which is for the Topgallant masts and for the mizon and Spritsaile Topmastes and adde them together and the Sum is 590. of which I take the tenth part which is 59. Then I take over the distance with my Compasses upon the scale betwéene 59 and 59 and measure it from the center and it ends in 50 ½ which is 505. Fathome of Cordidge of our fourth size of one inch 9 10 parts which was the size we found for 2 inches 2 10 parts as you may sée before Now to procéed to the finding of each particular Cordes length there is no more difficultie in it then there was in the finding of the whole number of Fathomes of each size but for the better explayning of it wée will set downe some examples of some Cords that the test may be found by them without any Scruple Example Wée desire to know the length of our maine Topsaile Braces for our supposed ship of 63. foote by the kéele looking in our Table wée find them in our third size of 1 inch â— 10 parts and their length double is 48 Fathome note in our Table every Cord that is double is put downe single and double with Fa. at the top of each signifying fathomes so I take over the distance with the Compasses upon the scale over betwéene 48 and 48. which measured from the Center shall end in 41. that is 41 Fathome for the length of our maine Topsaile Braces double for our supposed ship of 63. foote by the kéele and so if wee looke for our fore Topsaile lifts wee shall find them to be in our Table of Cordidge of 2 Inches 1 10 parts 36. Fathome and for our supposed ship wée shall find them to be 31. Fathom and foâ—lâ—ur Topsaile Cluelines in our Table of 2 Inches 6 10 parts wee shall find 60 Fathome which for our supposed ship wee shall finde to be 51. Fathome and for our fore lifts which in our Table is 40 Fathome wée shall find them for our supposed Ship to be by our scale 34 Fathome and for our maine Topsaile halliards in our Table wée shall find 44. Fathome which for our supposed ship by our scale we shall find to be 37 Fathome for our maine bowlings in our table is 34 fathom which wée shall find by our scale to be 29. Fathome for our fore halliards in our Table is 30. Fathome which wée shall find by our scale to be 26. Fathome Thus wée have exemplyfied in the finding of the lengths of some particular Cords which is instruction sufficient for the finding of the lengths of all the rest and so wée suppose wée have performed all that wée promised to performe with ease speede by a scale for the Compleat Rigging of any ship now wee will procéede to set downe some other provisions Cordidge that are necessarily required in a ship so we will conclude this Tract A Table of some other Cords and Ropes that are of necessity in a ship and are here put downe for their lengths and sizes according to our former Table of Cordidge for our propounded ship   Fa. Fa. 2 Stoppers at the Bitts of 5 inches 4 8 2 Lanniards of 2 inches 5 10 2 Stoppers at the Bough of 3 1 â— inches 6 12 4 Shank Panters of 3 ½ inches 2 ½ 10 1 Shank Panter for the Streame Anchor 3 inches 2 ½ 2 ½ 1 Stopper for it of 3 inches 2 ½ 2 ½ 2 Can Buy Ropes of 3 inches 50 100 For Robins and Earins of 1 ½ inch 1 smale coile   4 Lead lines   2 Cat Ropes of 3 inches 2 ½ 5 1 Pennant of the fish Takle 4 ½ inches 4 4 1 Fall of the fish Takle 2 inches 12 12 1 Long Boats Davides seazing 3 inches 2 2 1 Long Boats Panter 4 inches 3 3 1 Pinnesses Davides seazing 2 ½ inches 2 2 1 Pinnesses Panter 3 inches 3 3 1 Jellewatts Panter 2 inches 2 2  Hosses for the head 3 inches 4 4 1 Ladder for the Bousprite 2 ½ inches 8 8  Lanniards of 1 inch 4 4 1 Buy Rope for the Streame Anchor 3 inches 9 9 1 Buy Rope for the Kedg Anchor 2 inches 9 9 2 Paire of Butt slings 3 inches 2 2 2 Paire of Hogshead slings 2 inches 2 2 1 Ladder for the Poope 3 inches 8 8 6 Winding Takle Blocks   3 Buy Ropes of 4 inches 10 30  For new Bolt Rope 4 inch Cablet    A Guesse Rope 3 inch Cablet    Cackling of 2 ½ or 3 inches   50    YOu are to take notice that these last Cords and Ropes are sized and their lengths are proportioned according to our Ship that we have propounded of 75 foote by the Keele for which our former Tables are made Now it remaines that wee speake somewhat of the sizing of Cables Your sheat Cable is commonly so many halfe inches about as your ship is bredth in feete at the midship Beame Now our propounded Ship to which our Tables are made is 29 ½ foote at the midship Beame therefore the Sheate Cable must be 15 inches about and to finde the sizes of the rest of your Cables you may do it by the weight of your Anchors in this manner Suppose your sheate Anchor be 15 hundred weight and your Cable 12 inches and you have another Anchor 9 hundred weight you desire the size of your Cable for it For the answer to this and the like demands I have caused two lines to be put downe on the side of the scale the one of equall parts containing 385 parts and the Tens and Fives drawne out and it is numbred at every 50 thus 50 100 150 c. The other line of unequall parts begins at 1 and ends at 〈◊〉 and is numbred to every unite and each unite is divided from five to tenne by fives and from tenne to 〈◊〉 by tens each unite into ten parts First I take 9 upon the opening scale from the center the weight of the second Anchor and put it over in 15 and 15 the weight of the first Anchor and kéeping the scale so I looke against 12 in the unequall parts and in the equall parts against it are 72. then I take the distance over upon the opening scale betwéene 72 and 72 and measure it from the center and it ends in 43 ½ Lastly I looke 4◠½ in the equall parts and against it in the unequall parts is 9 1 10 that is 9 1 10 inches the Circumference of the Cable for the Anchor of 9 hundred weight which was required Or otherwise the Cables may be proportioned from the burthen of the Ships in this manner Suppose that a Ship of 300. Tun have a sheate Cable of 15 inches about
