do_v extend_v in_o longitude_n the_o whole_a content_n of_o the_o equinoctial_a which_o be_v 360_o degree_n and_o in_o latitude_n northwards_o the_o same_o description_n do_v extend_v to_o 80_o

and_o modern_a do_v great_o differ_v in_o the_o division_n of_o the_o part_n of_o latitude_n as_o well_o northern_a as_o southern_a and_o also_o in_o longitude_n for_o whereas_o the_o ancient_a cosmographer_n do_v divide_v each_o latitude_n into_o 90._o degree_n by_o certain_a parallel_n make_v 9_o equal_a space_n every_o space_n contain_v 10._o equal_a degree_n in_o the_o latter_a map_n last_o mention_v you_o shall_v find_v those_o space_n and_o the_o degree_n thereof_o altogether_o unequal_a the_o first_o 3_o space_n next_o the_o equinoctial_a only_o except_v for_o those_o differ_v not_o above_o one_o half_a degree_n at_o the_o most_o but_o from_o thence_o northward_o every_o space_n be_v great_a than_o other_o and_o every_o degree_n in_o every_o such_o space_n be_v great_a than_o other_o insomuch_o as_o the_o four_o space_n contain_v 11_o degree_n and_o a_o half_a of_o those_o degree_n which_o be_v set_v down_o in_o the_o first_o space_n and_o the_o five_o space_n contain_v of_o such_o degree_n 13_o degree_n ¾_n the_o 6_o space_n contain_v of_o the_o say_a degree_n 16_o degree_n ¼_n y_z e_z 7_o contain_v of_o the_o same_o degree_n 20_o degree_n ½_n so_o as_o the_o space_n be_v be_v twice_o so_o broad_a as_o the_o first_o space_n and_o one_o half_a degree_n more_o the_o eight_o space_n contain_v of_o the_o say_v first_o degree_n 36_o further_o than_o which_o 8_o space_n contain_v 80_o degree_n of_o latitude_n their_o map_n extend_v not_o northward_o and_o they_o observe_v the_o like_a proportion_n in_o the_o southern_a latitude_n save_v that_o they_o extend_v no_o far_o southward_o than_o to_o 66_o degree_n and_o a_o half_a again_o they_o differ_v in_o longitude_n thus_o for_o the_o modern_a cosmographer_n do_v make_v the_o first_o

ptolomey_n and_o his_o follower_n do_v appoint_v the_o first_o meridian_n to_o pass_v the_o cause_n of_o which_o transpose_v the_o say_v first_o meridian_n be_v because_o that_o the_o mariner_n compass_n do_v never_o show_v the_o right_a north_n and_o south_n in_o any_o other_o place_n but_o only_o under_o that_o meridian_n yea_o m._n borowgh_n think_v that_o it_o will_v show_v it_o more_o

parallel_n contain_v the_o 90._o degree_n of_o latitude_n both_o northward_o and_o southward_o be_v equal_a and_o all_o the_o degree_n of_o every_o such_o space_n be_v also_o equal_a and_o yet_o the_o space_n of_o parallel_n that_o show_v the_o long_a day_n in_o any_o place_n be_v towards_o the_o pole_n every_o one_o more_o narrow_a than_o other_o for_o as_o i_o have_v say_v before_o in_o my_o

and_o bow_v of_o the_o meridians_fw-la which_o by_o their_o oblique_a &_o overthwart_a fall_n into_o the_o parallel_n do_v so_o much_o disfigure_v in_o the_o uttermost_a part_n the_o true_a shape_n of_o the_o region_n as_o they_o can_v scant_v be_v know_v and_o as_o for_o the_o mariner_n card_n because_o their_o parallel_n of_o latitude_n be_v also_o of_o equal_a distance_n from_o the_o equinoctial_a to_o the_o very_a pole_n he_o say_v that_o they_o must_v needs_o misfashion_v the_o region_n and_o make_v the_o direction_n distance_n longitude_n and_o latitude_n to_o be_v untrue_a and_o thereby_o cause_v great_a error_n which_o to_o avoid_v he_o make_v the_o space_n of_o his_o parallel_n and_o degree_n of_o latitude_n to_o increase_v by_o little_a and_o little_a towards_o the_o pole_n affirm_v that_o thereby_o all_o place_n shall_v have_v their_o true_a shape_n and_o also_o their_o true_a direction_n distance_n longitude_n and_o latitude_n his_o second_o care_n be_v that_o the_o region_n and_o place_n may_v have_v their_o true_a quantity_n and_o greatness_n and_o also_o true_a distance_n one_o from_o another_o wherein_o he_o have_v take_v as_o he_o say_v great_a pain_n

itself_o it_o seem_v to_o i_o somewhat_o strange_a for_o than_o i_o say_v that_o a_o ship_n in_o sail_v about_o the_o world_n under_o the_o parallel_n of_o 60_o degree_n shall_v by_o this_o mean_n make_v as_o long_o a_o voyage_n as_o that_o which_o sail_v about_o the_o world_n right_a under_o the_o equinoctial_a which_o voyage_n be_v twice_o as_o long_o for_o this_o contain_v in_o longitude_n 21600_o mile_n which_o be_v the_o whole_a compass_n of_o the_o earth_n and_o the_o other_o contain_v in_o longitude_n 10800_o mile_n which_o be_v just_a half_a so_o much_o and_o no_o more_o but_o after_o that_o i_o have_v take_v better_a advisement_n thereof_o i_o find_v by_o measure_v with_o my_o compass_n that_o one_o degree_n of_o the_o meridian_n next_o to_o the_o 60_o degree_n of_o latitude_n do_v comprehend_v two_o of_o such_o degree_n as_o be_v set_v down_o in_o the_o equinoctial_a and_o that_o one_o degree_n of_o the_o meridian_n cross_v the_o the_o parallel_n that_o have_v 70_o degree_n of_o latitude_n do_v comprehend_v 3_o degree_n of_o the_o equinoctial_a line_n and_o so_o i_o find_v the_o degree_n towards_o the_o pole_n to_o wax_v great_a and_o great_a by_o which_o degree_n i_o perceive_v their_o meaning_n be_v to_o have_v the_o longitude_n of_o their_o parallel_n to_o be_v measure_v &_o not_o by_o the_o degree_n of_o the_o equinoctial_a and_o by_o y_z e_z
