An Isthmus is a little narrow neck of Land which joyneth any Peninsula to the Continent as the straights of Corinth in Greece and Dariena in America A Promontory is a high Mountain which shooteth it self into the Sea the utmost end of which is called a Foreland or Cape as the Cape of Good-hope Cape Verde in Africa and St. Michaels Mount in England There are also other real parts of the Earth as Plains Vallayes Hills Woods and the like but these are so well known by every one that they need no explanation The second real part of the Globe is Water which is divided into Ocean Sea a Straight a Creek or Bay and Lake 1 The Ocean is a general collection of Water which environeth or encompasseth the Earth on every side 2.

A Straight is a part of the Ocean restrained within narrow bounds and opening a way to the sea as the Straights of Gibralter and the Straights of Magellaniea 4. A Creek or Bay is a crooked shore thrusting out as it were two arms to embrace the sea as the Corinthian and Persian Creeks also Button's and Hudson's Bay 5. A Lake is a great Collection or gathering of Water which hath no visible entercourse with the sea as the Lake of Lough-Neauh in Ireland the Dead-sea in the Land of Canaan and the Caspian-sea though by reason of the bigness of the two last they are called seas And hereunto belong Rivers Brooks and the like which are so well known by every man that we will pass them over without more ado Of the flowing and ebbing of the Sea You must know that it is not always alike for in divers places it doth encrease for the space of 6 whole hours and decrease as many but in the Promontory of Erithrem in Africa commonly called Cabo Rosso it increaseth 4 hours and decreaseth 8. In divers places it keeps alwayes at one state without ebbing or flowing And so at the Cape called Das Palmas it runs still towards the East although by vertue of the first mobile or chief moveable and of the Moon the whole Sea seems to move towards the West Notwithstanding when by interposition of the Earth she is hindred from her natural course it cometh to pass that her course is variable not onely in the aforesaid places but also in many others For the same cause it is that about Florida the Sea runs still towards the North without any return and

parallels which are called Artificial Parallels for that they shew the difference of Artificial Dayes the use of which is to shew the Climates Of Climates A Climate is a space of Earth included within two of the Artificial or lesser parallels and are declared and set forth in the Circumference of the Eastern Planisphere of the Map The use thereof is to shew the length and shortnesse of the Day in all the several parts of the World Now under the Equinoctial line and 10 Degrees on North and as many on the South-side thereof the dayes exceed not the length of 12 hours but afterwards they increase the length of half an hour in every Clime till they come to 24 hours without night and are so marked shewed or declared as you may see in the utmost Circumference of the Map which length atteined they increase no more by hours but by weeks and moneths until they come to the length of half a year so as there are two sorts of Climates that is to say 24 North and as many South from the Equator touching the names of which we will refer you to larger Volumes and discourses By which it appears that they who dwell under the same Latitude of the Poles have the same length of day and night But to them on the South of the Equator the day is shortest then with us on the North it is at the longest and our Winter is their Summer and so contrariwise their Winter is our Summer c. Of the Tropicks The Tropick of Cancer or the Crab is a Circle or rather for distinction a double Circle or Line which is distant from the Equinoctial or middle Lines towards the North about 23 degrees and a half Now when the Sun is come thither which is on the 11th of June then is the day longest with us who live on the North of the Equator and shortest to them on the South thereof This Line passeth through New Spain Arabia and India The Tropick of Capricorn is a like Circle to that of Cancer and is distant from the Equator 23 degrees and a half towards the South being just as much as Cancer is towards the North when the Sun is gone down thither which on the 12 or 13 of Decemb. then are the dayes shortest with us who dwell on the North and longest with them who dwell on the South thereof This Line passeth through Ethiopia the Lower and Peru. The Arctick or North-Polar Circle is a like Line or Circle as the Tropick of Cancer and it is distant from the North Pole 23 degrees and a half It passeth through Tartary Norway Greenland and some part of the unknown Land as you may see in the Map The Antarctick or South Polar Circle is a like Line or Circle to the North Polar Circle and is distant from the South Pole 23 degrees and about a half being just so much as the North-polar Circle is distant from the North-pole and passeth through the South unknown Land Of Zones Now the use of these four Circles of Cancer Capricorn the Arctick and Antarctick are to shew the five parts called Zones whereof there are two temperate the one North the other South two frozen or cold one of them also North and the other South and one hot or scorched The North temperate Zone is that part or space conteined between the Tropick of Cancer and the North-Polar Circle The South temperate Zone is that space contained between the Tropick of Capricorn and the South-polar Circle They are called temperate because the Air thereof is more moderate and of a better temper being neither so very hot as the scorched Zone nor so extream cold as the frozen Zones The torrid burnt or hot Zone is that space conteined between the two Tropicks of Cancer and Capricorn and is continually scorched with the Sun which doth alwayes pass over it afflicting it with a marvellous heat and down-right Rays the breadth hereof comprehendeth 47 degrees or 2820 miles every degree being 60 miles as hath been said already The North Frigid frozen or cold Zone is that space conteined within the Arctick or North-Polar Circle the breadth whereof from the very Pole it self is 23 degrees and a half which is 1410 miles The South frigid frozen or cold Zone is that space or part between the Antarctick or South Polar Circle and hath the same breadth as the North Frozen Zone hath from the North-Pole namely 23 degrees and a half or 1410 miles The Division of the World The World is commonly divided into the known and unknown parts the latter whereof we will pass by forasmuch as time and opportunity hath not discovered it and onely refer you to the Map by which you may see that it lyeth towards the Poles but chiefly towards the South-pole The known World is divided into these four parts EUROPE ASIA AFRICA AMERICA and each of these conteine several Countries and Islands EUROPE Contains England Ireland Scotland and their Isles Spain Portugal France Italy Germany Holland Denmark and Norway Swedland Poland Hungary Slavonia Transilvania Greece Dacia Russia and their Isles ASIA Contains Natolia Syria Palestine Arabia Caldea Assyria Mesopotamia Turcomania Media Persia Tartary Shiria India and many Islands AFRICA Comprehends Egypt Barbary Numidia Libia the land of Negroes upper and lower Ethiopia with divers Islands AMERICA Or the New World not to speak of it as some divide it into North and South for by the Map you may see how it lies the several Countries comprehended therein are Estotiland Terra Corterealis Canada New Scotland Norumbega New England New Netherland Virginia Florida New Albion New Spain Guatimalia Golden Castile Paria Guiana New Granada Peru Chile Paragnay Brasile and many Islands as Hispaniola Cuba Jamaica and divers others as you will find in their proper place Of the Winde It is a hot and dry Exhalation drawn into the air by the power of the Sun and by reason of the weight thereof being driven down is carried side-long about the Earth but this must be understood of general windes which blow over all the Earth or at the least some great Countries For there are a second sort of winds which are peculiar onely to some Countries and those not very large which are begot on this manner It is confessed that in the Globe of the Earth there are wonderful holes wherein when air aboundeth and cannot abide to be shut up findeth some little hole or as it were a mouth to breathe or break out at In or about those Countries bloweth vehemently but that force extendeth not far for it is like wind that cometh out of Bellows This winde therefore differeth from the general winds both in substance and quality for the matter of them is an exhalation and the quality such as the nature of the exhalation very airy but not indeed air There is also a third sort of wind which is a gentle and cool moving of the air coming from no certain place yet is felt
