most faultlesse forme that I could because on them both the liues and goods of such as traficke and trauill by Sea do depend VVhereby it came to passe that many yeres since be it spoken without enuie they haue been so highly accoumpted of that I was earnestly required and oftentimes importuned of diuerse skilfull Pilots and Masters in these countries besides many principall and rich Marchants and owners of ships to print and publish the same for the furderance of salfer sea-faring the behoofe and benefit of the inhabitants of Holland Zealand and Frizland which most of all vse traffique by Sea At that time for many causes I yeelded not to their requests specially for that my meane abilitie was not sufficient to defray so great expēse But at length ouercome by the importunat suite of Mariners Masters and Marchants but chiefly by reason of my sincere loue and affection towards the commonweal and posteritie with the continuall instance and exhortation of many persons of qualitie iudgemēt which egged me on and both with promises and performance holpe furthered the worke I set vpon it with a cheerefull minde and incessant labour And printed the first part of this Mariners Mirrour which conteineth the whole western Nauigation to wit of the coastes of Fraunce England Ireland Scotland Spaine Portugall c. published it in the yere of our Lord. 1583. being dedicated to the most famous Prince of Orenge of happy Memorie who tooke no small delight therin and of his great bountie bestowed large allowance towards the finishing of the worke begun VVherefore presently I betooke my selfe to the second part beyng aduertised in the meane time by the skilfullest Pilotes Masters and Mariners with how great commendation the first part was receiued and how profitable it was found for all such as trauayle by Sea which I leaue to bee remembred of others Moreouer I was enformed by many Pilots of good credit with how great good-liking these Sea-Cardes were receaued in many other countries kingdoms namely by these most famous and learned men Io. Dowza Baron of Nortwick and M. Doctor Maelson who this last yeare were Embassadours for the States of the vnited Prouinces of the low countries vnto the most renowmed Queene of England where a booke of these Sea-cardes was presented at the Counsell table by the moste Noble Lorde My Lorde Charles Howard Baron of Effingham Lorde Admirall of England and was esteemed by the chief personages of that graue Counsell worthy to be translated and Printed into a language familiar to all Nations that it might bee both read and vnderstood of all VVherefore from that time I purposed with my selfe to performe the same assoone as I might Shortly after I printed and published th' other part of this MIRROVR which cōprehendeth the whole Nauigation of the German Scottish and North Ocean as also of the Northeast and Baltik Sea This I dedicated to the States of Holland and Westfrizland who gratiously and thankefully receauing it rewarded mee with such recompence as whilest I liue I shall neuer be able to deserue This encouraged mee vpon the former reasons to procure that the descriptions of these Cardes might be translated into Latine to th' end that al nations which vnderstand that language might reape both profit and pleasure out of the same hoping that it will be very profitable vnto all those which are studious in the knowledge of Nauigation and no lesse acceptable to al courteous readers who may take likyng therof accept of this my labour in thankefull manner Farewell From Einchusen 1586.

Calender or Ephemerides DIuide the yeeres of our Lord by 4. and if nothing remayne after the diuision that yeare is Leape yeare but if the number of 1. 2. or 3. shall remaine it signifieth what yeere it is after the Leape yeare As for example Take the yeare since the Natiuitie of Christ 1588. which beeing diuided by 4. nothing remayneth wherefore it is Leape yeare And the yeere 1589. the first after the Leape yeere The yeare 1590. the second the yeare 1591. the third But the yeare 1592. shall bee a Leape yeare againe and so forwards OF THE DECLINATION OF THE Sunne and the vse thereof FOr asmuch as for many and waighty causes ten daies are once for euer cut off from the yeare by certaine Monarchs of Europe as needlesse that thereby the Equinoctiall or Solstitiall pointes might bee brought to the same dayes of the moneth as of olde time they were in the time of the Nicene councel and so the 4. seasons of the yeare viz. the Spring Summer Haruest and VVinter begin on the same dayes as they were wont And furthermore as the appearances and suppositions of the 8. sphere do shew a manifest inequality in the greatnes of the sunne so in continuance of time as apparant an alteration is perceiued in his greatest obliquation For by the obseruations of Erarosthenes Hipparchus and Ptolomy of which the two first liued a little before the beginning of the Romaine Empire and the third a little after the greatest obliquation of the sunne was found to be almost euen with his vtmost declination so that in the time of Iulius Caesar and the beginning of the Romaine Empire the greatest was of 23. degrees and 52 minutes But afterward it decreased by little and little as plainly appeareth by the obseruations of Albaregnius and since by Arzahel the Spanyard Almeon Almanzor Prophatius the Ievve and many others which for this last hundred yeares by the diligent study and obseruing of George Purbachius Iohannes Regiomontanus Vernerus Copernicus c. is yet found still decreasing so that at this time it is well neare vpon the last and farthest poynt viz. in 23. degrees and 28. minutes or at least wanting a few seconds Therefore VVagener thought it not impertinent to set downe the table of the declination of the Sunne for the behoofe of all Pilots Shipmasters and all kinde of Saylers aswell according to the right course of the sunne as this apparant obliquation of our time hoping that he should doe therein that which should be acceptable and not vnprofitable vnto them But it hath since beene thought fitter for vs in England to follow our auncient and accustomed stile not acknowledging any such perfection of the Gregorian reformation ❧ OF THE VSE OF THE Table following for the Sunnes declination FIrst you must know whether it be a Leape yeare or the first second or third yeare after the Leape yeare and when you vnderstand the same entring the Table of that yeare you shall seeke out your purposed moneth and day in the toppe and side titles for the common Angle will shew the declination of the sunne for the same day northward from the 10. of March to the 13. of September and southward from the 13. of September to the 10. of March and these dayes are marked thus ✚ Now if you desire to knowe the latitude of any countrey or height of the Pole take the meridian height of the sunne by your Astrolabe or Crosse staffe and it will shewe the distance of the sunne from the Zenith or highest poynt And if the declination of the sunne be Northward the same day adde it to the distance of the sunne from the Zenith But contrarywise deduct it againe if the declination be Southward and you shall haue the latitude of that place or the altitude of the Pole As for example VVagener in the yeere 1583. the 21. of Ianuary tooke by Astrolabe at Enchuysen the meridian altitude of the sunne about 20. degrees and 50. minutes wherefore the distance thereof from the Zenith is neare 69. degrees and 10. minutes In the Table of the declination of the Sunne the third yeare after the Leape yeare hee found the same day after his accoumpt the obliquation of the sun in 17. 20. minuts southward which being deducted from the distance of the sunne from the Zenith because it is Southward there remaine 52. degrees and 50. minuts which is the latitude or altitude of the Pole of the Citie of Enchuysen In the yeare 1588. the 8. of Iuly at London the meridian altitude of the Sunne was obserued 59. degrees 28. minuts VVherefore his distaunce from the Zenith is 30. degrees 32. minuts In the Table of the Sunnes declination for the Leape yeare I find for that day the Suns Northren Obliquation 21. degrees 2. minuts which added to the Sunnes distance from the Zenith because it is Northerly maketh the whole 51. degrees 34. minuts which is the true latitude of the place or altitude of the Pole for the Citie of London ❧ THE DECLINATION OF THE SVNNE for the first yeere after the Leape yeere Ianuarie Februarie Marche   Aprill May.
