Enchuisen by the entrie of the VLIE commonly called Noordergat must so direct his course that the Lande-marke of Schelling may exactly answere to the thrée Downes and the Blacke downe must be directly opposite to the middest of the high White downe Then appeareth the first Buy from which he shall sayle vnto the seconde South and by East or South and by West accordyng as the winde and tide will serue From thence vntill he come to the Buy which lieth vpon the Buske South and by West or South still carefully obseruing your tyde From thence let him sayle vnto the Buye in Moncksloot South or Southe and by West thence to Longsand South and by East then to Wolfshouk south east and by South but till he come to Cashoucke let him kéepe south south east The eye marke of Cashoucke is when the Towre of Franike appeareth neare the hauen of Harling From Cashouck vnto Schutsande the course is East south east the markes wherof are these viz. That Cornwerde on the East side is right opposite to Bolswerde and Winald is discerned aboue the Castle of Harling From Schutsand he must sayle to Swaenbalg South east where the Buye lieth with these markes viz. When Boldeswerde appeareth on the Eastside of the broade tower or the high buildynge on the Southside of Cornewerde But when Bolswerde is perceaued betwéen Destin and Cornewerd then may he plie that reache vp or downe at his pleasure From Swaenbalg he may passe to Middleground South south east the markes hereof are when the two picked stéeples of Harlynge on the Southside are right agaynst two other Towers on the Northside The way from Middlegrounde vnto Idelhooeck and the West of Worcum lieth Southward and then Coldum sheweth it selfe on the South end of Hinlopen which is the marke for the Buye of West Worcum From thence vnto the Buye that leadeth to Bocht South south east where Pandagra appeareth standynge at the Southside of Volwerd in a valley when you shall perceaue Pandagra neare the houses kéepe the right forme of the Tower in your sight vntill you come to the Buye that lieth vpon the flat of Freislande there is déepe water that reache stretcheth South Southwest From thence to Creile South and by West the markes wherof are when Mirnys toucheth the South partes of the Cliffe and the Corne milles appeare on the Westside of Medenblicke The way from Creyl to Crepelsand is South south east and South east and by East the markes of the Buye of Creplesand are Enchuisen standing by Venhuysen and Broocke nigh vnto Hem From hence you may sayle vnto the first Buye in Hillegat South south east and South and by East and then vp towardes the Beacon South and by East but from the innermost Buye vnto the Road of Enchuisen South and by West Moreouer sayling from Enchuisen to Texel he must as the winde and tide suffer beginne his course from the Buye that is Northward in the goyng forth commonly called Noordergat North north west or North and by West vntill Brooke may be kenned neare Hem where he shall finde the Buye of Creplesand From thence he shall go to the Wicker marke or Beacon of the sayd Creplesand Northwest and when Lytebrooke is séen neare Hem he shall finde out this marke From whence he may sayle vnto the South Buye vpon the Flats of Wiring North west and by West hauing regarde to the winde and tide This Buye is knowne when the Twisch by Almerdorpe and Brooke do shew betwéen two Heyrickes and the Westerne tower of Wiringe perceaued neare vnto the houses Then he may passe towardes the middle Buye Northwest and by North vntill he finde that the Winde mill of Wyringe standeth at the South-ende of the houses that are out of the towne From the middle Buye vnto the Northern wee sayle North northwest the markes are when the two piked Stéeples are one and on the East side of the Buye there is a déepe Poole fit for great Shippes from thence he may sayle to Vlieter North northwest and North and by west kéepyng Medenbliche and the Buye in one so longe as he can sée them and kéepe still his course North and by West vntill he come to Nesse where he shall finde a Buye on the Eastside and there ouer agaynst standeth a marke made of Wicker or Basket worke vpon the Nesse the tokens whereof are when the Mill vppon the shoare is opposite to the vally which is vpon the West side of the shoare and the tower standyng towardes the west ioyneth to the West parte of the houses From thence to Vogelsand West north west sometimes windyng about But when he commeth neare Vogelsand let him take héede that Horn tower in Texel may be séene neare the houses which stande vnder Geest and kéepe them so in sight vntill he come to the Marchants Roade there may he Anker before Geest in Texel where he shall thinke best But if he will fourth into the Ocean his course is to the New Deepe and shunne the Shoaldes of Geest two Gables length from the shoare side of Huisdune vntill he come to the shoalde called Dry Hake and kéepe the shoare markes which stande vppon Huisdune fiue foote one from the other Then must he holde on his course to the Sea by the entrie or channell of Marsdiep commonly called Spaignarsgat for Keysars plat hath two Fadam water at halfe floud so that the sayd shoare markes may be almost ioyned together And if comming from the Sea he would beare in with the entrie of Marsdiep called Spaignarsgat he must set Wammes or S.
