that multiplication there commeth .222 Then there is .42 minutes more and that .42 minutes conteineth neare .26 myles so that the whole summe of myles from London to Antwerpe by a right East line ouer the Sea and the land is .248 myles Now furthermore if that towne or place haue that Longitude that your towne hath and hath another Latitude that is to saye that it dooth stande due South or North from you hauing all one Meridian lyne then must you looke howe manye degrees the other towne is Southe or Northe from your towne and then you knowyng that you maye knowe the distaunce to any Towne or place that standeth vnderneath your Meridian allowyng .60 myles for euery degree of Latitude as for ensample thus by the Citie of London and Roane in Normandie which hath in manner all one Longitude as the Citie of London hath .19 degrees .54 minutes of Longitude as afore is declared so hath the Towne of Roane .20 degrees .3 minutes which differeth 6. myles to the Eastwardes of the Meridian of the Citie of London and as it is afore rehearsed that the latitude of London is .51 degrees and .32 minutes the Latitude of Roane is 49. degrees and .10 minutes so that Roane standeth .2 degrees .22 minutes to the Southwardes of the Citie of London And then multiplie .2 tymes .60 which maketh .120 and then there is .22 minutes more then that commeth to .22 myles so that .120 myles and .22 myles maketh in al .142 myles the distance betweene the Citie of London and Roane â—uer the sea land by a ryght lyne betweene them Now furthermore if so be that any towne or countrie hath an other longitude and an other latitude then yours hath then to knewe the distance betweene theÌ„ you must woorke thus First looke what latitude that your towne hath and then looke the latitude of the other towne that you woulde knowe the distance vnto then that being knowne you must seeke the longitude of the other towne howe muche it doeth differ from yours then looke howe many myles of the latitude wyl answeare to one degree then that number beyng multiplied the number of degrees by the myles and that sheweth howe many myles that it is from the Meridian of your towne to the Meridian of the other towne Then the other towne hath an other latitude then yours hath and if the towne bee to the Northwardes of your towne then the degrees of that paralell shall bee shorter then the degrees of your paralell and if the latitude of the towne bee to the South partes of your towne then shal the degrees of the parallel be longer then the degrees of the parallel of your towne Then in like manner as you haue multiplied the number of myles by the degrees of your towne so in like manner you shall seeke howe many myles wyll annsweare vnto one degree in that parallel Then multiplye the degrees by the myles and it wyll shewe vnto you the distaunce of myles from the other towne too the Meridian of your towne then the distance of the Southermost towne from the Meridian is moe myles then the other towne is Therefore you shal adde or pull both your nuÌ„bers together and then take halfe that for your East and West line then shall you multyply the number of myles in it selfe and keepe it in memorye then you knowing the number of myles of Latitude that the one Towne doth differ from the other then in lyke maner you shall multyply that number in it selfe then the multiplycation of both the numbers you shall adde together then you shall by extraction of Rootes seeke the square Roote â— that being knowne shall be the iust distaunce by that poynte or right Lyne ouer the Sea and the Lande from the one Towne to the other as for ensample thus By the Citie of London and the Citie of Hierusalem nowe being destroyed whiche was somtime the most famous Citie on earth and the Latitude of London as afore is declared beinge 51. degrees 32. minutes and euery degree of our paralell is 37. myles and the Latitude of Hierusalem is 31. degrees and 22. minutes then for euery degree in that paralell shall be 51. myles Then I knowing the Longtitude of the Citie of London for to bee 19. degrees and 54. minutes then I doe seeke the Langtitude of Hierusalem and I finde it for to bee 65. degrees and 45. mynutes Then I doo pull away 19 degrees 54. minutes out of 65. degrees 45. minutes and then remayneth 45. degrees 51. mynutes and so many degrees and minutes is Hierusalem Easte from the Citie of London Then first I doe multiply the miles in a degree of our paralell as this beinge 45. degrees and 37. miles to one degree Therefore I doe multiply the one by the other that is 45. times 37. and of that multiplycation commeth 1665. then 51. minutes more and that commeth neare vnto 32. miles then put 32. vnto 1665. that maketh 1697. and so manye miles it is from the Citie of London vnto the Meridian lyne of Hierusalem And now you must multiplye the number of degrees into myles for the latitude of Hierusalem whiche is 51. myles to one degree in that paralel and the degrees be in number 45. degrees 51. minutes Therfore I doe multyplye 45. by 51. and of that multyplycation there commeth 2295. Then there is 51. minutes more and that commeth neare vnto 44. miles and put 44. vnto 2295. and that maketh 2339. and so manye myles it is betweene Hierusalem and the Meridian lyne of the Citie of London Then this being done I doe adde both the numbers together that is to say the number of miles in the paralel of London betweene both the Meridians the one being .1697 and the other for to be 2339. then addynge both these numbers together maketh 4036. then take halfe that number for your true East and West lyne whiche wyll be 2018. myles then I doe seeke the diuersitie beeweene the 2. paralels as thus The pole artick of London is raysed 51. degrees and 32. mynutes and the pole artick of Hierusalem is raysed 31. degrees and 22. minutes Then I doe substract 31. degrees 22. mynutes out of 51. degrees 32. minutes the remainder is 20. degrees 10. minutes then I doe multiplye the number of degrees by myles 60. miles to one degree because that they bee degrees of Latitude thus .20 times 60. of that multiplication commeth .1200 and then there is 10. mynutes more and those 10. minutes commeth to 10. miles so that the whole summe of myles from the paralel of London to the paralel of Hierusalem is 1210. myles And now for to fynde the true distance ouer the Sea and the land by a poynt or lyne you must doe thus by the exctactions of rootes Fyrst you must multiplye the Longitude and the number of myles in it selfe as it is afore rehearsed the halfe of the miles of the distaunce betweene the 2.

beginneth the second booke shewing by longitude and by latitude the dystance vnto any Towne or Citie or place vpon the face of the earth keping one poynt or winde ouer the Sea and LANDE although that it be not the very nearest way for the very nearest way ouer the Sea and Land can not be by one poynt of the Compasse except it be vpon the Meridian lyne that is due South or due North from you or being vnder the Equinoctial to be due East or West But if it be in any other place from vnder the Equinoctiall although it be due East or West both the places to be vnder one Paralell yet in the going due East and West is not the nearest way ouer the Sea and Land but the next way ouer the Sea and Lande is by diuers wyndes or poyntes of the compasse and the further frō the Equinoctial to eyther of the two poles the greater chaunging of the poyntes of the compasse For the next way ouer the Sea and the Land vnto any place is to goe by the great circle which is equall vnto the Equinoctiall or the Meridian circle which will not be according vnto any one poynt of the compasse but vnto dyuers as for proofe thereof you shall haue this for an ensample thus that in the latitude of .60 degrees that there were two Townes or places in that paralell the one being opposite or right against the other that is .180 degrees and a degree in that paralel doth containe .30 myles And nowe to goe iust East or West in that paralel to come vnto the place assigned it is .5400 myles as for proofe therof multiply .180 tymes .30 but that is not the next way vnto the place assygned but the next way is to goe by the Merydian lyne that is to say to goe due North vntill you do come ryght vnder the pole and then to goe by that Merydian due South tyll you haue that latitude agayne and then it is but .3600 myles as you may knowe by playne multiplycation as it is from the latitude of .90 degrees vnto the pole to go due North .30 degrees and from the pole Southward agayne other .30 degrees that is in all .60 degrees and then to multyply .60 tymes .60 it sheweth the true dystance which is but .3600 myles And to goe by the paralell lyne that is due East or West then it is .5400 myles that is halfe so much more as by playne proofe you may know But if the two places be both vnderneth one paralel be shorter thē 180. degrees asūder thē it requireth to go by diuers points of the compasse and not by the Meridian according vnto the passing of the great circle which doth conteine in circumference 21600. myles which is the greatest compasse of the earth and not according vnto moe paralels then one which is the Equinoctial nether vnto no one poynt of the compasse for any poynt of the Compasse will bring you vnto the poles of the worlde or verye neare excepte those that be pararel which is East or West as all ryght lynes drawe being extended exceptynge lynes paralell will Crosse the other in the ende so all the poyntes of the Compasse doe winde vntyl they doe come vnto the poles or very neare the poles of the world as they be all Hilicall or Spherall lynes Wherefore there is no one poynt or wynde that can be prescribed to be the next way by that poynt vnto any place assygned but onely the Meridyan lyne or lynes and to goe East and West then to be vnder the Equinoctiall for the nexte way els is by sundry poyntes of the compasse c. Wherefore I omitte to say any more thereof but onely to shew vnto you how for to know the dystance vnto any Towne or place situated vpon the lace of the whole earth by any one assygned poynte of the compasse then for to knowe the true distaunce ouer the Sea and the lande And I doo shewe it thys waye for two causes the first is this for that it is not possible to passe the next way by the meanes of the frozen Zone Wherfore it is supposed that it is not nauigable in those Seas neyther passageable by lande in those Countreys and the seconde cause is this as before is declared in the goyng the next waye it dooth require to goe by sundry poyntes of the compasse which woulde be but a confused matter for the most part of those persons that doo desire to knowe the distaunce vnto any place assigned neyther shall he knowe so readily which way it standeth or beareth from him And furthermore in the knowing the distaunce vnto any place assigned and by what poynt of the compasse it beareth this is to be considered that the Longitude dooth begin at the Meridian of the Cannary Iland and so to follow vnto the Eastwardes and so ending at .360 againe at the Cannary Ilandes as I doo shewe in my booke called the Regiment for the Sea The second Chapter sheweth vnto you howe you may knowe the distaunce vnto any Towne situate vppon the face of the whole earth so that you do◠knowe the true Longitude and the true Latitude of them NOw furthermore if that you doo know the Longitude and the Latitude of any towne or townes situate vppon the earth you may know the distaunce vnto them as before is declared as thus If that the towne be iust East or West from you that is to say that your towne or place is vnder the Paralel that the other towne is that is to say that the Pole artike of that towne or place is so manye degrees aboue the Horizon as your towne is both in degrees and minutes then shall you seeke how many degrees of Longitude the other towne dooth differ frō yours then you shall seeke how many myles that one degree shal answere vnto it in that paralel and then you shall multiplie the one by the other that is to say the degrees by the myles and that summe which commeth of that multiplication shal be the distance betweene the two townes as for ensample thus by the Citie of London Answerpe in Brabant which differeth but .4 minutes in Latitude for at London the Pole is raised .51 degrees .32 minutes and at the Citie of Antwerpe the Pole is raised .51 degrees .28 minutes therefore we be both vnder one paralel Now the Longitude of London is from the Cannarie Ilandes .19 degrees and .54 minutes and Antwerpes Longitude is .26 degrees .36 minutes so that Antwerpe standeth East from London .6 degrees .42 minutes Now must I know how many miles a degree conteineth in that paralel and of that I doo make mention in my booke called The Regiment for the Sea in the .16 Chapter and that I doo finde to be .37 myles to one degree Thē I multiplie .6 times .37 because that it is .6 degrees .37 myles to one degree and of
