Seas the chiefest city whereof is Vallette In the western Ocean the Canaries the Cape Verd and the Isle of Saint Thomas the chiefest in the Canaries is called Saint Iago and in Saint Thomas Panoasan In the Eastern Ocean there is the isle of Madagascar or Saint Laurence and the isle of Zocotora who hath a city after her own name America AMerica the fourth part of the world hath obtained this name from Americus Vesputius who in the year of Christ one thousand four hundred ninety seven did sail about it but it was first of all discovered by Christopher Columbus five years before who went out with the authority of Ferdinando King of Castile and called it the new West-Indies by reason of the likeness where they seem to return to the other Indies It is divided into two parts one is called Mexicana and Peruana the Spaniards and Hollanders possess a great part thereof which they have fortified very strongly it is exceeding rich of gold and silver insomuch that as the Historians witness Attalalipa King of Peru being taken prisoner by the Spaniard for his ransome did offer and promise to fill his prison being a place of twelve foot long and seventeen foot broad once full of gold to such a height as he standing upon the toes of his feet was able to reach with the points of his fingers stretched on high or fill the same twice as full of silver if they had rather have that unto the uppermost roof of it yea the Spaniards when they first entred into the country shod their horses both with gold and silver as Historians testifie Peruana is divided now adaies into three several parts according to the situation of the land to wit in plain land in mountains and in lands which are hilly grounds without them Out of these countries are brought over into Europe gold silver Beza and other precious stones salsaparilla sugar in abundance Brasil wood cotton costly plumes jackanapses several sorts of curiously feathered birds and many more druggs and merchandise and thus much for the fourth part of the world Magellanica which some Geographers would have now the fifth part of the world is since found out to be a very little part as consisting onely of some few Islands and the southern side of the Magellanick Straits so called by Fredericus Magellanicus who discovered it in the year one thousand five hundred and twenty writing moreover that there he had seen tall men about nine and ten foot high and he saw many fires which the inhabitants had kindled doubtless by reason of the coldness of the weather he named it the land of fire or smoky whereby he presumed the more that it must needs be a very vast great country reaching east and westwards unto new Guinney according to which guessing it hath hitherto been delineated by the maps of Geographers but since hath there in stead thereof a large and wide Sea been found both by Iacob Le Mair who in the year one thousand six hundred sixteen sayling about the southern coast of these islands entred into the Indies and by Iohn Davis in the year one thousand six hundred forty two who sayling toward the north about one thousand 6 hundred forty further then Guinny discovered divers lands and passing on the southside sayled about the east coast of new Guinny and so going on westward he came to the Indies whence we may certainly gather that all the former descriptions and definitions of the Magellanick and unknown lands are but meer abuses and certain devised fables And thus now God enabling me I have finished the description of the world and the four parts thereof and leave my endeavours herein to
