A16189	The light of navigation Wherein are declared and lively pourtrayed, all the coasts and havens, of the VVest, North and East seas. Collected partly out of the books of the principall authors which have written of navigation, (as Lucas Iohnson VVaghenaer and divers others) partly also out of manie other expert seafaring mens writings and verball declarations: corrected from manie faults, and inlarged with manie newe descriptions and cardes. Divided into tvvo bookes. Heerunto are added (beside an institution in the art of navigation) nevve tables of the declination of the sonne, according to Tycho Brahes observations, applied to the meridian of Amsterdam. Together with newe tables and instructions to teach men the right use of the North-starre, and other firme starres, profitable for all seafaring men. By William Iohnson.; Licht der Zee-vaert.

measure_n with_o uncutt_n staff_n perfect_a and_o right_o as_o it_o shall_v be_v the_o fault_n thereof_o be_v not_o in_o the_o crosse-stave_n uncutt_n but_o in_o themselves_o for_o that_o they_o know_v not_o how_o to_o use_v the_o staff_n aright_o nor_o understand_v not_o the_o true_a ground_n thereof_o other_o that_o will_v seem_v wise_a than_o the_o former_a give_v a_o reason_n thereof_o to_o wit_n that_o the_o staff_n must_v be_v cut_v because_o of_o the_o hollowness_n of_o the_o eye_n for_o that_o otherwise_o the_o staff_n can_v come_v to_o stand_v so_o that_o the_o end_n thereof_o be_v conjoin_v to_o the_o middle_a point_n or_o centre_n of_o the_o eye_n or_o sight_n this_o reason_n have_v some_o show_n of_o truth_n but_o notwithstanding_o be_v alike_o untrue_a &_o erroneus_fw-la for_o the_o staff_n may_v very_o well_o be_v set_v either_o on_o the_o innermost_a or_o outtermost_a corner_n of_o the_o eye_n so_o that_o the_o sight_n of_o the_o eye_n may_v fall_v to_o answer_v just_a to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o staff_n that_o this_o be_v truth_n we_o will_v prove_v with_o good_a reason_n as_o follow_v set_a the_o great_a cross_n with_o the_o middlemost_a upon_o like_a degree_n to_o wit_n each_o upon_o such_o as_o for_o that_o purpose_n be_v mark_v upon_o the_o staff_n then_o apply_v the_o staff_n the_o cross_n so_o firm_o remain_v unto_o your_o eye_n in_o such_o manner_n whether_o it_o be_v on_o the_o innermost_a or_o uttermost_a corner_n it_o be_v all_o one_o as_o that_o you_o discern_v the_o end_n of_o the_o cross_n both_o above_o &_o beneath_o just_a over_o each_o other_o in_o form_n as_o this_o figure_n specifi_v if_o then_o you_o draw_v straight_a line_n by_o the_o end_n of_o the_o cross_n a_o b_o and_o d_o c_o they_o shall_v meet_v just_a in_o the_o middle_a point_n of_o your_o sight_n and_o inasmuch_o as_o the_o cross_n be_v place_v upon_o like_a degree_n the_o line_n aforesaid_a shall_v meet_v just_a upon_o the_o end_n of_o the_o staff_n see_v that_o that_o end_n of_o the_o staff_n represent_v the_o centre_n of_o the_o quadrant_a whereby_o your_o staff_n be_v mark_v so_o then_o the_o foresay_a line_n or_o end_n of_o the_o cross_n answer_v both_o just_a upon_o the_o end_n of_o the_o staff_n and_o also_o upon_o the_o sight_n so_o that_o it_o follow_v necessary_o and_o appear_v evident_o that_o the_o end_n of_o the_o staff_n &_o the_o sight_n meet_v in_o one_o or_o to_o speak_v proper_o both_o of_o they_o stand_v just_a in_o the_o centre_n of_o the_o quadrant_a therefore_o whensoever_o with_o the_o crosse-staffe_n you_o will_v take_v the_o height_n of_o the_o son_n or_o of_o any_o star_n then_o observe_v diligent_o how_o many_o degree_n it_o be_v elevate_v above_o the_o horizon_n and_o place_n the_o two_o cross_n upon_o so_o many_o degree_n then_o apply_v the_o staff_n to_o your_o eye_n in_o such_o manner_n as_o that_o you_o may_v see_v the_o end_n of_o the_o cross_n just_a over_o each_o other_o according_a as_o be_v teach_v before_o in_o such_o form_n then_o as_o you_o find_v the_o staff_n to_o stand_v to_o your_o eye_n shall_v you_o place_v the_o staff_n take_v away_o one_o of_o the_o cross_n when_o you_o desire_v to_o measure_v according_a to_o such_o height_n this_o be_v a_o sure_a rule_n which_o will_v never_o fail_v neither_o can_v you_o possible_o miss_v if_o you_o

say_a land_n and_o the_o equinoctial_a line_n which_o be_v reckon_v in_o a_o double_a manner_n that_o be_v northerly_a and_o southerly_a to_o the_o number_n of_o 90._o such_o land_n or_o country_n as_o lie_v right_a under_o the_o equinoctial_a line_n have_v no_o breadth_n but_o such_o as_o lie_v northward_o from_o it_o have_v northerly_a breadth_n and_o they_o that_o lie_v southerly_a have_v southerly_a breadth_n example_n the_o island_n of_o s._n thomas_n in_o the_o river_n gaban_n in_o guinea_n lie_v right_a under_o the_o line_n and_o therefore_o have_v no_o breadth_n neither_o northerly_a nor_o southerly_a the_o cap_n s._n vincent_n in_o spain_n lie_v northward_o from_o the_o line_n 37_o degree_n and_o therefore_o the_o northern_a breadth_n of_o cap_n s._n vincent_n be_v 37_o degree_n the_o point_n of_o lezaret_n in_o england_n lie_v northward_o from_o the_o line_n 50_o degree_n therefore_o the_o north_n breadth_n of_o lezaret_n be_v 50_o degree_n the_o cap_n de_fw-fr bona_fw-la esperance_fw-fr lie_v southward_a from_o the_o line_n 34½_n degree_n therefore_o the_o southerly_a breadth_n of_o cap_n de_fw-fr bona_fw-la esperance_fw-fr be_v 34_o 1_o ●_o degree_n in_o

the_o breadth_n of_o 30_o degree_n lie_v also_o in_o the_o height_n 30_o degree_n which_o by_o seafaring_a man_n be_v take_v without_o difference_n but_o what_o it_o be_v or_o what_o it_o have_v in_o it_o or_o signify_v few_o man_n understand_v and_o yet_o it_o behove_v a_o seafaring_a man_n that_o seek_v for_o the_o height_n of_o any_o country_n to_o be_v expert_a therein_o for_o that_o no_o man_n without_o it_o can_v well_o understand_v how_o any_o instrument_n whether_o it_o be_v astralabium_n or_o crosse-staffe_n no_o nor_o the_o sea-compasse_n itself_o shall_v well_o be_v use_v for_o that_o these_o thing_n be_v all_o build_v upon_o one_o foundation_n &_o like_o a_o chain_n hang_v one_o upon_o the_o other_o but_o it_o may_v be_v that_o some_o man_n will_v object_v and_o say_v that_o there_o be_v many_o pilot_n which_o do_v not_o well_o understand_v such_o thing_n and_o yet_o be_v able_a to_o go_v direct_o unto_o divers_a place_n whither_o they_o desire_v to_o sail_v which_o i_o confess_v to_o be_v true_a but_o tell_v i_o how_o many_o time_n be_v they_o deceive_v how_o many_o time_n be_v they_o in_o great_a doubt_n and_o fear_v and_o how_o seldom_o dare_v they_o trust_v unto_o the_o height_n which_o they_o have_v take_v or_o reckon_v when_o they_o be_v to_o seek_v out_o any_o country_n there_o by_o how_o often_o time_n have_v it_o heretofore_o happen_v that_o for_o want_v of_o such_o knowledge_n ship_n have_v sail_v out_o of_o their_o way_n either_o behind_o england_n or_o upon_o france_n which_o think_v to_o pass_v through_o the_o channel_n between_o england_n and_o france_n and_o that_o in_o so_o short_a and_o well_o know_v and_o common_a sail_v water_n as_o to_o come_v out_o of_o spain_n or_o france_n what_o will_v such_o man_n do_v if_o they_o shall_v pass_v the_o line_n and_o be_v to_o seek_v or_o find_v out_o certain_a land_n or_o that_o after_o they_o have_v sail_v up_o and_o down_o the_o sea_n certain_a month_n together_o shall_v then_o seek_v out_o for_o land_n but_o i_o be_o of_o this_o opinion_n which_o i_o know_v every_o man_n will_v grant_v that_o it_o be_v much_o better_a and_o more_o assure_v to_o go_v a_o way_n be_v guide_v by_o his_o own_o eyesight_n then_o like_o a_o blind_a man_n to_o be_v lead_v by_o another_o and_o know_v not_o whether_o that_o other_o see_v well_o or_o not_o but_o to_o come_v again_o to_o our_o matter_n touch_v the_o height_n of_o country_n it_o be_v no_o other_o but_o the_o height_n of_o the_o pole_n above_o the_o horizon_n that_o be_v to_o say_v so_o many_o degree_n as_o the_o pole_n in_o any_o land_n be_v lift_v up_o above_o the_o horizon_n so_o much_o be_v the_o height_n of_o such_o a_o country_n and_o this_o height_n agree_v always_o with_o the_o breadth_n as_o aforesaid_a in_o the_o 10_o chapter_n it_o be_v show_v that_o wheresoever_o a_o man_n go_v or_o turn_v always_o the_o one_o half_a of_o the_o heaven_n show_v itself_o above_o the_o horizon_n and_o the_o other_o half_o be_v hide_v from_o we_o in_o the_o first_o chapter_n it_o be_v say_v that_o the_o two_o pole_n stand_v right_a one_o against_o the_o other_o whereby_o it_o be_v evident_o to_o be_v understand_v that_o whensoever_o a_o man_n be_v upon_o the_o earth_n be_v right_a under_o the_o equinoctial_a line_n that_o then_o both_o the_o pole_n of_o the_o world_n lie_v right_a in_o the_o horizon_n one_o in_o the_o south_n and_o the_o other_o in_o the_o north_n &_o as_o much_o as_o a_o man_n travail_v northward_o from_o the_o equinoctial_a line_n and_o win_v breadth_n northerly_a so_o much_o the_o north_n pole_n rise_v above_o the_o horizon_n and_o
