A08584	An addition vnto the vse of the instrument called the circles of proportion, for the working of nauticall questions Together with certaine necessary considerations and advertisements touching navigation. All which, as also the former rules concerning this instrument are to bee wrought not onely instrumentally, but with the penne, by arithmeticke, and the canon of triangles. Hereunto is also annexed the excellent vse of two rulers for calculation. And is to follow after the 111 page of the first part.

the_o whole_a ship_n and_o company_n into_o unforeseene_a danger_n now_o a_o english_a mile_n by_o statute_n be_v the_o length_n of_o 8_o furlong_n and_o every_o furlong_n be_v 40_o perch_n and_o a_o perch_n be_v foot_n 16½_n so_o that_o by_o this_o reckon_n a_o mile_n contain_v 5280_o foot_n in_o length_n though_o it_o be_v usual_o take_v or_o rather_o mistake_v that_o 60_o of_o such_o mile_n make_v a_o degree_n which_o will_v be_v very_o strange_a that_o our_o english_a mile_n draw_v from_o barley_n corn_n shall_v so_o happy_o fall_v out_o to_o answer_v to_o one_o minute_n yet_o the_o truth_n be_v that_o above_o 66_o of_o our_o mile_n answer_v to_o a_o degree_n as_o by_o the_o observation_n of_o the_o most_o diligent_a enquirer_n be_v find_v out_o so_o that_o in_o void_v of_o

diligence_n of_o the_o practiser_n to_o be_v suspect_v that_o way_n which_o be_v by_o the_o height_n of_o a_o hill_n and_o a_o tangent_fw-la line_n from_o thence_o to_o the_o superficies_n of_o the_o sea_n be_v rather_o a_o fantasy_n than_o a_o thing_n of_o actual_a performance_n for_o neither_o the_o perpendicular_a h●ight_n of_o the_o hill_n above_o the_o level_n of_o the_o water_n can_v with_o

it_o will_v for_o the_o performance_n hereof_o be_v a_o excellent_a work_n if_o the_o height_n of_o the_o pole_n at_o two_o town_n of_o this_o land_n distant_a northward_o one_o from_o the_o other_o some_o score_n or_o rather_o hundred_o of_o mile_n be_v with_o instrument_n of_o sufficient_a magnitude_n by_o some_o learned_a artist_n exact_o observe_v there_o be_v also_o employ_v certain_a

survey_n i_o can_v wish_v be_v make_v with_o good_a plain_a table_n and_o with_o the_o same_o scale_n which_o shall_v not_o be_v less_o than_o a_o foot_n by_o standard_n for_o 10_o mile_n and_o that_o these_o measure_n of_o a_o foot_n according_a to_o a_o standard_n be_v all_o make_v in_o brass_n by_o the_o same_o workman_n and_o their_o chain_n exact_o fit_v thereto_o and_o that_o the_o measure_n

any_o that_o i_o know_v have_v yet_o be_v use_v this_o i_o say_v be_v a_o excellent_a work_n and_o worthy_a the_o heroical_a magnificence_n of_o some_o great_a man_n and_o yet_o not_o of_o any_o very_a chargeable_a performance_n but_o it_o will_v bring_v a_o marvellous_a light_n and_o furtherance_n to_o navigation_n and_o unto_o all_o astronomy_n in_o the_o mean_a time_n till_o it_o shall_v please_v god_n to_o stir_v up_o some_o true_o noble_a spirit_n for_o the_o effect_n thereof_o i_o will_v make_v bold_a to_o propose_v away_o which_o any_o ingenious_a student_n who_o sight_n both_o of_o his_o eye_n and_o understanding_n be_v quick_a and_o perspicacious_a may_v himself_o private_o with_o much_o facility_n practice_v the_o reason_n whereof_o consist_v upon_o these_o three_o principle_n the_o i._o be_v that_o if_o with_o a_o level_a instrument_n set_v up_o in_o any_o place_n parallel_n to_o the_o horizon_n a_o man_n take_v a_o true_a level_n unto_o another_o place_n the_o visual_a line_n by_o which_o he_o level_v shall_v be_v a_o tangent_fw-la to_o such_o a_o arch_n of_o a_o great_a circle_n on_o the_o earth_n as_o be_v contain_v between_o the_o station_n and_o the_o

right_a angle_n at_o the_o level_n the_o ii_o be_v that_o if_o the_o same_o instrument_n he_o set_v just_a even_o with_o the_o former_a mark_n and_o you_o level_v backward_o to_o the_o former_a station_n this_o last_o visual_a line_n shall_v overshoot_v the_o former_a place_n of_o the_o instrument_n and_o shall_v enclose_v a_o new_a and_o great_a rightangled_n triangle_n have_v the_o right_a angle_n at_o the_o second_o station_n 528_o 0_o ⌊_o 0138_o 100000,00_o 2,61_o the_o tangent_fw-la of_o the_o arch_n min_n 0_o ⌊_o 09+_n say_v again_o 0_o ⌊_o 09+_n the_o number_n of_o foot_n answer_v

our_o sight_n not_o able_a to_o discern_v a_o thing_n distinct_o at_o any_o great_a distance_n we_o be_v constrain_v to_o take_v but_o short_a station_n whereby_o the_o overshooting_a of_o the_o

to_o it_o it_o will_v rather_o collect_v itself_o and_o stand_v in_o a_o heap_n then_o mix_v with_o its_o enemy_n and_o contrariwise_o very_o glad_o diffuse_v itself_o in_o pursuit_n of_o any_o
