run it along the River in the middle of the Channel betwixt both lands unto Gravesend For to saile into the River of London coming from the northwards For to sail into the River of Lond from the northwards you must come neer the coast to the northwards of Orfordnes which is to the northwards of all the sands there lye Albrough Dunwich Walderswike Sowle and Covehit all betwixt Orfordnes and Leystaf Covehit is a sharp steeple like as also Leystaffe but Sowle and Walderswyke Albrough and Orfordnes are all flat Steeples Sowle and Dunwich lye both upon the high land betwixt them both is a valley therein you may see Walderswike Sowle when you are thwart of it Dunwich Dunwich is the best to be known of all these foresaid places it hath two flat steeples and on both sides some trees To the soutwards of it lyeth Albrough Albrough which is also very good to be known it hath one high flat steeple with three mils the two stand to the northwards and the third to the southwards of Arbrough when you are thwart of it but sailing to the southwards they come all three to the southwards of it The Land without Albrough and to the southwards of it is very low flat and chindely land Betwixt Albrough and Dunwich about half wayes betwixt them lyeth a wood which is at both ends high and in the middest low with a saddle this you shall commonly see first when you fall with land thereabouts and is the best to be known for to know the coast by the land without it and to the southwards is very low flat chindely land Orfordnes About two leagues to the soutwards of Albrough lyeth Orfordnes betwixt them both stand also two woods of trees which shew themselves a far off like Castles or Towers Or fordnes is a flat steeple with a thick or broad castle which hath also a thick flat steeple almost of fashion like the steeple of Rarop open above with holes in it like Bellholes Before Dunwich you may anker there is good lying in eight or nine fathom somwhat soft ground Before Albrough is the best road of all the coasts thereabouts in six and seven fathom East from Albrough about two leagues Aelbrough Knock. lyeth Albrough Knock this is a sand which at low water is not deeper then seven or eight foot you may sound round about in five fathom but it is not good to come nearer it with sea winds you may discern it plainly by the breaking of the sea upon it but with landerly or westerly winds and fair weather the sea breaketh not upon it he that runneth thereby to the northwards with an ebb shall see it commonly ripple very much upon it like as upon most the English bancks and not indeed upon the bancks but against them for upon the showlds or middest of the banks is the smoothest water like as you find every where VVhen as Albrough is west from you Marks of Aelbrough Knock. and the two steeples of Orfordnes are one in the other there you shall find Albrough knock These are sure marks of that Sand. The Whiting or Whiting sand is somewhat a long small sand lying before Orfordnes and the chindely land to the southwards of Aelbrough and lyeth along the reach but the south end lyeth further from land then the north end there is at low water not above six or seaven foot water upon it Coming from the northwards men saile commonly to the westwards of it that is through betwixt the land and Whiting-sand towards the Naze Whiting sand Men may also saile along to the eastwards of it through betwixt Whiting-sand and the eastermost poynt of the Court or Court-sand which some doe call the Rib. The Court. The north end of the Whiting lyeth along close to the shore and lyeth from the steeples of Orfordnes southeast and by south it is so exceeding steep and needle too that you shall have the one cast nine the next cast five fathom and then you are no more but a ships length from it before you can heave the lead againe you shall be upon it When you sit with the foreship against it it is at the stern five or six fathom deep Along the inner side it is also every where so steep that you cannot sound it but on the outer side you may run along by it in five fathom upon the lead untill you come within the sands When as you come from the northwards and will saile through within the Whiting you must run close by the shoare and south w. about by the poynt of the chi●dle to the southwards of Aelbrough untill you come within the north poynt of the Whiting when the steeples of Orfordnes come to be north-west and by north from you then you are right thwart of the north poynt of the Whiting being within it goe againe more southerly to wit southwest and by south towards Balsy cliffe If you should fall to the southwards of Whiting or els coming from the southwards will saile in there to the northwards then bring the steeples of Orfordnes westnorthwest or northwest and by west but for all not more northerly then north-west from you and saile so right in untill you come by the Chindle strand then run in along by it as is before said and then you shall run far enough along to the northwards of the Whiting If you will saile in to the eastwards or the southwards of the Whiting then bring the steeples of Orfordnes north north-west or north-west and by north or northwest from you For to run in to the eastwards of the Whiting and saile in so right with them untill that the wood of trees that standeth upon the next poynt to the south-wards of Balsy cliffe come to Balsy cliffe which shall then stand about west-southwest from you keep that aforesaid wood to the southside of the cliffe and saile in boldly right with it and then you shall run right in the the faire-way in betwixt the Whiting and the tayle of Court-sand but if you bring the foresaid trees more then a hand-spikes length without the cliffe you shall not fail to run on against the poynt of the Court. That aforesaid wood of trees is very good to be knowne because thereabouts stand no other trees Or bring the steeple of Balsy w. s w. from you and saile in so right with it until you come by Whiting sand in five or six fathom and lead it in so by it upon the lead untill that you come by Balsy or that you get deeper water When you come near Balsy whether you be come in from the northwards or the southwards of Whiting sand you must keep somewhat off from the shore because of a little riffe or small tayle that shooteth off from the shore thwart of Balsy-cliffe which you must avoid somewhat with ships of great draughts there remaineth at low water upon it no more then two
