the_o use_n of_o his_o instrument_n who_o know_v by_o the_o elevacyon_n of_o the_o pool_n by_o the_o altitude_n of_o the_o sun_n the_o place_n where_o they_o never_o come_v in_o before_o with_o many_o

of_o the_o master_n but_o forasmuch_o as_o english_a man_n be_v not_o great_o trouble_v with_o war_n on_o the_o sea_n but_o only_o upon_o their_o own_o coast_n the_o last_o sort_n of_o mariner_n be_v therefore_o think_v most_o requisite_a to_o be_v appoint_v for_o master_n the_o reason_n be_v because_o england_n be_v environ_v with_o holland_n sealand_n and_o france_n on_o the_o one_o side_n and_o with_o ireland_n on_o the_o other_o side_n and_o the_o distance_n of_o the_o chanyell_n be_v so_o narrow_n between_o land_n and_o land_n that_o it_o be_v a_o great_a chance_n that_o a_o ship_n be_v between_o either_o of_o these_o place_n shall_v not_o once_o within_o xxiiii_o hour_n fall_n either_o with_o the_o one_o or_o with_o the_o other_o and_o then_o the_o perfect_a coaster_n that_o can_v right_o deserve_v to_o make_v &_o know_v the_o land_n be_v for_o many_o occasion_n the_o meet_a man_n to_o serve_v in_o these_o afayre_n and_o because_o the_o master_n charge_n be_v especial_o to_o keep_v the_o ship_n in_o good_a security_n when_o storm_n and_o tempest_n happen_v to_o fall_v consider_v there_o be_v here_o no_o sea_n roam_v to_o try_v it_o out_o but_o must_v seek_v some_o place_n to_o herbour_v themselves_o as_o wound_n &_o weather_n will_v geve_v they_o leave_v i_o have_v therefore_o brief_o show_v how_o to_o make_v choice_n of_o such_o a_o one_o as_o may_v be_v most_o fit_a to_o answer_v the_o purpose_n but_o now_o to_o return_v to_o our_o former_a talk_n consider_v that_o the_o manner_n of_o the_o fight_n shall_v altogether_o be_v order_v by_o the_o captain_n therefore_o as_o i_o say_v before_o it_o be_v needful_a for_o he_o to_o have_v some_o skill_n in_o mariner_n art_n else_o shall_v he_o never_o be_v able_a to_o judge_v what_o he_o ought_v to_o do_v soul._n i_o will_v think_v there_o shall_v be_v no_o great_a policy_n in_o sea_n fight_v but_o when_o they_o meet_v he_o that_o have_v the_o great_a number_n of_o ship_n and_o the_o best_a appoint_v by_o common_a reason_n be_v like_a to_o have_v the_o victory_n mer._n nay_o not_o so_o for_o there_o be_v yet_o a_o other_o helper_n which_o as_o it_o pass_v the_o common_a reason_n of_o such_o as_o want_v experience_n so_o it_o preserve_v he_o that_o can_v attain_v it_o from_o any_o great_a danger_n of_o his_o enemy_n be_v they_o never_o so_o many_o and_o that_o be_v to_o have_v the_o

there_o no_o other_o help_n then_o but_o to_o yield_v mer._n thou_o must_v understand_v the_o order_n of_o sea_n fight_n be_v this_o when_o enemy_n meet_v the_o strong_a will_v seek_v to_o assail_v the_o weak_a the_o weak_a than_o for_o his_o better_a security_n seek_v as_o much_o as_o he_o may_v if_o he_o can_v not_o get_v from_o he_o with_o a_o sail_n to_o get_v the_o wind_n which_o if_o he_o
