a_o brief_a discourse_n of_o a_o passage_n by_o the_o north-pole_n to_o japan_n china_n etc._n etc._n plead_v by_o three_o experiment_n and_o answer_n to_o all_o objection_n that_o can_v be_v urge_v against_o a_o passage_n that_o way_n as_o 1._o by_o a_o navigation_n from_o amsterdam_n into_o the_o north-pole_n and_o two_o degree_n beyond_o it_o 2._o by_o a_o navigation_n from_o japan_n towards_o the_o north-pole_n 3._o by_o a_o experiment_n make_v by_o the_o czar_n of_o muscovy_n whereby_o it_o appear_v that_o to_o the_o northwards_o of_o nova_n zembla_n be_v a_o free_a and_o open_a sea_n as_o far_o as_o japan_n china_n etc._n etc._n with_o a_o map_n of_o all_o the_o discover_v land_n near_o to_o the_o pole_n by_o joseph_n moxon_n hydrographer_n to_o the_o king_n be_v most_o

the_o north-pole_n to_o japan_n china_n etc._n etc._n among_o the_o many_o essay_n that_o have_v be_v make_v to_o find_v a_o near_a passage_n to_o japan_n china_n etc._n etc._n the_o most_o probable_a and_o likely_a have_v as_o yet_o in_o my_o opinion_n be_v over-seen_a or_o at_o least_o not_o attempt_v and_o therefore_o i_o shall_v hereby_o communicate_v my_o conception_n to_o public_a approbation_n or_o censure_n it_o be_v that_o a_o passage_n may_v very_o probable_o be_v about_o the_o north-pole_n and_o the_o reason_n induce_v i_o to_o conceive_v so_o be_v that_o we_o have_v no_o certainty_n from_o all_o the_o discovery_n that_o have_v be_v make_v of_o any_o land_n lie_v within_o 8_o degree_n about_o the_o pole_n but_o on_o the_o contrary_a that_o i_o have_v credible_o be_v inform_v by_o a_o steer-man_n of_o a_o dutch_a greenland_n ship_n that_o there_o be_v a_o free_a and_o open_a sea_n under_o the_o very_a pole_n and_o somewhat_o beyond_o it_o and_o i_o for_o my_o own_o part_n give_v credit_n to_o his_o relation_n and_o do_v conceive_v that_o any_o sober_a ingenious_a man_n will_v do_v the_o like_a do_v he_o know_v in_o what_o a_o honest_a manner_n and_o by_o what_o a_o un-interessed_n accident_n i_o happen_v to_o hear_v it_o for_o thus_o it_o be_v be_v about_o 22_o year_n ago_o in_o amsterdam_n i_o go_v into_o a_o drinking-house_n to_o drink_v a_o cup_n of_o beer_n for_o my_o thirst_n and_o sit_v by_o the_o public_a fire_n among_o several_a people_n there_o happen_v a_o seaman_n to_o come_v in_o who_o see_v a_o friend_n of_o his_o there_o who_o he_o know_v go_v in_o the_o greenland_n voyage_n wonder_v to_o see_v he_o because_o it_o be_v not_o yet_o time_n for_o the_o greenland_n fleet_n to_o come_v home_o and_o ask_v he_o what_o accident_n bring_v he_o home_o so_o soon_o his_o friend_n who_o be_v the_o steer-man_n aforesaid_a in_o a_o greenland_n ship_n that_o summer_n tell_v he_o that_o their_o ship_n go_v not_o out_o to_o fish_v that_o summer_n but_o only_o to_o take_v in_o the_o lade_n of_o the_o whole_a fleet_n to_o bring_v it_o to_o a_o early_a market_n etc._n etc._n but_o say_v he_o before_o the_o fleet_n have_v catch_v fish_n enough_o to_o lade_v we_o we_o by_o order_n of_o the_o greenland_n company_n sail_v into_o the_o north-pole_n and_o come_v back_o again_o whereupon_o his_o relation_n be_v novel_a to_o i_o i_o enter_v discourse_n with_o he_o and_o seem_v to_o question_v the_o truth_n of_o what_o he_o say_v but_o he_o do_v ensure_v i_o it_o be_v true_a and_o that_o the_o ship_n be_v then_o in_o amsterdam_n and_o many_o of_o the_o seaman_n belong_v to_o she_o to_o justify_v the_o truth_n of_o it_o and_o tell_v i_o moreover_o that_o they_o sail_v 2_o degree_n beyond_o the_o pole_n i_o ask_v he_o if_o they_o find_v no_o land_n or_o island_n about_o the_o pole_n he_o tell_v i_o no_o there_o be_v a_o free_a and_o open_a sea_n i_o ask_v he_o if_o they_o do_v not_o meet_v with_o a_o great_a deal_n of_o ice_n he_o tell_v i_o no_o they_o see_v no_o ice_n i_o ask_v he_o what_o wether_n they_o have_v there_o he_o tell_v i_o fine_a warm_a wether_n such_o as_o be_v at_o amsterdam_n in_o the_o summer_n time_n and_o as_o hot_a i_o shall_v have_v ask_v he_o more_o question_n but_o that_o he_o be_v engage_v in_o discourse_n with_o his_o friend_n and_o i_o can_v not_o in_o modesty_n interrupt_v they_o long_o but_o i_o believe_v the_o steer-man_n speak_v matter_n of_o fact_n and_o truth_n for_o he_o seem_v a_o plain_a honest_a and_o unaffectatious_a person_n and_o one_o who_o can_v have_v no_o design_n upon_o i_o but_o though_o i_o believe_v this_o story_n yet_o methinks_v i_o hear_v many_o object_n against_o it_o and_o be_v apt_a to_o urge_v three_o seem_a reason_n to_o prove_v it_o false_a or_o at_o least_o some_o particular_n of_o his_o relation_n and_o first_o that_o it_o can_v be_v warm_a under_o the_o pole_n because_o that_o about_o greenland_n and_o many_o other_o part_v less_o northerly_a the_o sea_n be_v so_o full_a of_o great_a body_n of_o ice_n that_o ship_n can_v hardly_o sail_v for_o it_o second_o or_o if_o warm_a yet_o not_o so_o warm_a as_o at_o amsterdam_n in_o the_o summer_n time_n because_o the_o far_a northerly_a the_o cold_a wether_n three_o or_o if_o they_o be_v under_o the_o pole_n that_o they_o can_v not_o tell_v how_o to_o come_v back_o but_o that_o they_o may_v as_o well_o go_v far_o from_o as_o return_v near_o to_o home_n because_o the_o needle_n point_v always_o north_n they_o must_v needs_o lose_v themselves_o in_o the_o north-pole_n where_o it_o must_v indifferent_o respect_v all_o point_n of_o the_o horizon_n alike_o one_o answer_n may_v serve_v to_o the_o first_o and_o second_o objection_n that_o it_o can_v be_v warm_a under_o the_o north-pole_n etc._n etc._n if_o we_o consult_v the_o experience_n of_o traveller_n and_o navigator_n we_o be_v tell_v that_o between_o the_o tropic_n nay_o under_o the_o equinoctial_a be_v general_o as_o moderate_v wether_n as_o here_o in_o england_n in_o summer_n time_n why_o may_v it_o not_o then_o be_v as_o warm_v under_o the_o pole_n as_o here_o or_o at_o amsterdam_n in_o the_o summer_n time_n the_o small_a height_n the_o sun_n have_v there_o can_v be_v no_o exception_n for_o than_o we_o have_v the_o sun_n in_o its_o summer_n solstice_n in_o lesser_a altitude_n than_o between_o the_o tropic_n it_o must_v needs_o be_v much_o cold_a here_o which_o be_v contradict_v but_o one_o reason_n why_o it_o be_v as_o warm_v here_o as_o between_o the_o tropic_n be_v because_o between_o the_o tropic_n the_o sun_n remain_v scarce_o above_o 12_o hour_n of_o 24_o above_o the_o horizon_n to_o warm_v it_o when_o as_o here_o it_o remain_v almost_o 17_o hour_n of_o 24_o above_o the_o horizon_n and_o therefore_o leave_v a_o great_a impression_n of_o heat_n upon_o it_o and_o the_o far_a northward_o we_o go_v the_o long_o it_o remain_v above_o the_o horizon_n and_o less_o under_o the_o horizon_n every_o 24_o hour_n till_o we_o come_v within_o the_o arctic_a circle_n where_o the_o sun_n remain_v for_o half_a a_o year_n together_o viz._n all_o the_o summer_n above_o the_o horizon_n and_o never_o set_v and_o therefore_o though_o his_o beam_n be_v not_o so_o perpendicular_a yet_o they_o must_v needs_o cause_v a_o great_a degree_n of_o heat_n upon_o the_o horizon_n and_o if_o it_o be_v argue_v that_o it_o be_v so_o cold_a about_o greenland_n etc._n etc._n and_o the_o sea_n so_o full_a of_o ice_n that_o ship_n can_v hardly_o sail_v for_o it_o yet_o can_v that_o argument_n prove_v that_o it_o be_v so_o about_o the_o pole_n because_o the_o ice_n be_v make_v about_o shore_n of_o land_n but_o never_o in_o open_a sea_n and_o come_v there_o only_o by_o strength_n of_o current_n or_o high_a wind_n which_o do_v indeed_o carry_v it_o some_o small_a distance_n from_o the_o shore_n but_o as_o this_o relator_n say_v there_o be_v under_o the_o pole_n a_o free_a and_o open_a sea_n etc._n etc._n and_o consequent_o void_a of_o ice_n in_o summer_n time_n at_o least_o beside_o experience_n tell_v we_o that_o all_o land-briezes_a be_v cold_a than_o those_o that_o come_v from_o sea_n and_o therefore_o it_o may_v be_v cold_a about_o greenland_n because_o of_o the_o land_n and_o yet_o warm_a under_o the_o pole_n where_o the_o sea_n be_v open_a etc._n etc._n the_o three_o objection_n be_v that_o if_o they_o be_v under_o the_o pole_n they_o can_v not_o tell_v how_o to_o come_v back_o because_o of_o the_o indifferency_n the_o needle_n shall_v bear_v to_o every_o point_n of_o the_o horizon_n i_o examine_v not_o my_o relator_n upon_o this_o argument_n though_o when_o i_o be_v part_v from_o he_o i_o be_v sorry_a i_o do_v not_o but_o it_o be_v easy_a to_o
