a_o map_n off_o be_v in_o the_o latitude_n of_o 2_o degree_n 20_o minute_n and_o longitude_n of_o 14_o degree_n 40_o minute_n here_o i_o begin_v and_o count_v from_o the_o bottom_n of_o the_o map_n upward_o on_o each_o side_n 2_o degree_n 20_o minute_n and_o from_o those_o two_o point_n draw_v a_o blined_a line_n through_o the_o map_n this_o do_v i_o count_v from_o the_o left_a hand_n side_n of_o the_o map_n towards_o the_o right_n both_o at_o top_n and_o bottom_n 14_o degree_n 40_o minute_n and_o from_o these_o two_o point_n draw_v a_o obscure_a line_n also_o quite_o through_o the_o map_n the_o point_n where_o these_o two_o line_n across_o each_o other_o be_v the_o true_a point_n where_o such_o place_n ought_v to_o be_v set_v after_o the_o same_o manner_n proceed_v to_o incert_v all_o the_o boundary_n and_o principle_n place_n within_o the_o map_n by_o have_v their_o longitude_n and_o latitude_n and_o here_o note_v that_o the_o more_o latitude_n and_o longitude_n of_o the_o boundary_n you_o take_v the_o more_o exact_a and_o true_a will_v your_o map_n be_v limit_v as_o for_o place_n that_o lie_v in_o great_a north_n latitude_n suppose_v betwixt_o 50_o and_o 60_o deg_n there_o you_o must_v consider_v the_o proportion_n that_o be_v betwixt_o one_o degree_n in_o the_o parallel_n of_o 55_o degree_n of_o latitude_n and_o a_o degree_n of_o the_o equator_fw-la and_o by_o so_o much_o as_o the_o late_a exceed_v the_o former_a by_o so_o much_o must_v a_o degree_n of_o latitude_n exceed_v that_o of_o longitude_n the_o proportion_n for_o find_v the_o quantity_n of_o a_o degree_n in_o any_o parallel_n be_v this_o as_o the_o diameter_n of_o the_o equator_fw-la be_v to_o its_o circumference_n so_o be_v the_o diameter_n of_o the_o parallel_n of_o 55_o degree_n to_o its_o circumference_n divide_v the_o circumference_n of_o the_o equator_fw-la by_o 360._o as_o also_o the_o circumference_n of_o the_o parallel_n of_o 55_o degree_n the_o first_o quote_v be_v the_o length_n of_o a_o degree_n of_o longitude_n in_o the_o equator_fw-la the_o second_o the_o length_n of_o a_o degree_n of_o longitude_n in_o the_o parallel_n of_o 55_o degree_n of_o latitude_n and_o therefore_o by_o so_o much_o as_o the_o first_o of_o these_o quote_v exceed_v the_o second_o by_o so_o much_o must_v a_o degree_n in_o latitude_n exceed_v that_o of_o longitude_n in_o the_o make_n of_o such_o a_o map_n this_o brief_a account_n will_v i_o hope_v give_v some_o light_n into_o the_o method_n of_o make_v and_o project_v of_o map_n in_o the_o prosecution_n of_o which_o i_o may_v have_v be_v more_o copious_a by_o add_v of_o cut_n and_o make_v a_o table_n of_o the_o longitude_n and_o latitude_n of_o the_o boundary_n of_o some_o place_n and_o so_o actual_o transfer_v they_o into_o the_o plan_n or_o scheme_n but_o when_o i_o consider_v my_o design_n be_v more_o to_o show_v their_o use_n than_o the_o method_n of_o make_v they_o i_o purposely_o omit_v it_o if_o a_o map_n be_v to_o be_v make_v

which_o sometime_o be_v different_o number_v by_o reason_n that_o at_o the_o top_n of_o the_o map_n the_o longitude_n may_v be_v reckon_v from_o one_o place_n and_o at_o the_o bottom_n from_o

to_o several_a map_n there_o be_v three_o sort_n of_o scale_n to_o which_o be_v prefix_v the_o name_n magna_fw-la medieria_n and_o parba_n the_o meaning_n of_o which_o be_v this_o that_o you_o shall_v

how_o to_o find_v out_o place_n upon_o any_o sort_n of_o map_n there_o be_v but_o two_o method_n of_o find_v out_o place_n in_o any_o map_n the_o one_o be_v by_o longitude_n and_o latitude_n and_o the_o other_o by_o bear_v and_o distance_n the_o former_a of_o which_o be_v most_o peculiar_a to_o circular_a map_n the_o late_a to_o right_v line_v map_n though_o either_o of_o the_o say_a method_n may_v be_v use_v for_o the_o find_n of_o place_n in_o both_o kind_n of_o map_n as_o to_o the_o first_o of_o these_o there_o be_v one_o grand_a difficulty_n in_o it_o which_o be_v upon_o account_n of_o begin_v the_o longitude_n because_o as_o i_o have_v already_o observe_v in_o one_o map_n the_o longitude_n begin_v from_o gratiosa_fw-la another_o from_o st._n michael_n a_o three_o from_o teneriff_n and_o a_o four_o from_o some_o other_o place_n so_o that_o unless_o you_o know_v from_o what_o place_n they_o reckon_v the_o longitude_n of_o any_o map_n you_o can_v never_o know_v by_o this_o method_n how_o to_o find_v out_o any_o place_n in_o such_o map_n though_o the_o longitude_n and_o latitude_n of_o the_o place_n be_v give_v which_o indeed_o be_v a_o very_a great_a misfortune_n for_o be_v all_o the_o geographer_n but_o unanimous_o agree_v from_o whence_o to_o begin_v it_o that_o be_v will_v they_o but_o all_o agree_n to_o fix_v it_o at_o any_o on_o particular_a place_n it_o will_v make_v the_o science_n of_o geography_n very_o easy_a and_o pleasant_n but_o however_o because_o it_o be_v otherwise_o at_o present_a i_o shall_v incert_v a_o table_n show_v the_o difference_n of_o longitude_n betwixt_o pico_n teneriff_n and_o most_o of_o the_o principal_a place_n from_o whence_o they_o have_v begin_v to_o reckon_v and_o then_o proceed_v to_o the_o method_n of_o do_v it_o
