by_o our_o own_o describer_n especial_o we_o may_v perhaps_o find_v it_o otherwise_o then_o we_o think_v for_o here_o it_o will_v not_o need_v to_o take_v much_o notice_n of_o those_o who_o have_v describe_v the_o situation_n of_o country_n by_o the_o clime_n and_o parallel_n thus_o much_o only_o that_o they_o have_v as_o good_a as_o say_v nothing_o i_o confess_v i_o conclude_v under_o this_o

more_o they_o be_v not_o much_o more_o accurate_a who_o describe_v the_o situation_n of_o country_n by_o their_o latitude_n only_o as_o the_o gentleman_n in_o his_o description_n of_o huntingdon_n

altogether_o out_o in_o my_o geographical_a dimension_n of_o latitude_n and_o longitude_n but_o pray_v hear_v i_o i_o diligent_o compare_v the_o manuscript_n astronomical_a table_n of_o henry_n the_o five_o as_o well_o the_o old_a as_o the_o new_a calculate_v for_o the_o meridian_n some_o of_o oxford_n other_o for_o that_o of_o cambridg_n in_o latitude_n i_o find_v they_o to_o differ_v from_o ptolemy_n very_o much_o but_o well_o enough_o agree_v among_o themselves_o and_o yet_o i_o can_v think_v that_o the_o earth_n be_v any_o whit_n startle_v aside_o from_o its_o centre_n as_o stadius_n do_v these_o table_n therefore_o i_o make_v use_v of_o but_o in_o the_o longitude_n i_o find_v no_o agreement_n at_o all_o what_o shall_v i_o do_v consider_v that_o the_o modern_a geographer_n have_v find_v that_o the_o needle_n of_o the_o mariner_n compass_n touch_v with_o the_o loadstone_n direct_o point_v to_o the_o north-pole_n by_o the_o azorian_a isle_n i_o do_v as_o they_o do_v and_o take_v the_o begin_n of_o longitude_n from_o thence_o as_o from_o the_o first_o meridian_n but_o which_o i_o have_v not_o always_o set_v down_o exact_o or_o to_o a_o minute_n and_o now_o the_o least_o that_o can_v be_v expect_a be_v that_o the_o longitude_n of_o all_o place_n in_o the_o britannia_n be_v account_v from_o the_o meridian_n which_o pass_v by_o the_o azore_n but_o from_o which_o of_o the_o

the_o longitude_n be_v false_a but_o i_o can_v perceiv_v that_o the_o geographer_n though_o otherwise_o most_o accomplish_v yet_o be_v not_o so_o well_o see_v in_o this_o piece_n of_o the_o skill_n for_o though_o it_o be_v pretend_v in_o the_o preface_n that_o all_o the_o longitude_n in_o the_o description_n shall_v be_v take_v from_o the_o azore_n yet_o in_o set_v down_o the_o longitude_n of_o oxford_n he_o say_v that_o as_o he_o have_v it_o from_o the_o mathematician_n of_o the_o place_n it_o be_v 22_o degree_n from_o the_o fortunate_a island_n which_o can_v never_o be_v true_a for_o it_o
