taken not farre from the towne at sometimes of the yere in this South sea as suffiseth as may be dayly séene by experience at one time to fraught many Huyes Boates and Pinckes for marchandize vp through all the Maze whereof some are dried or smoked called Tybucking especially about Christide which are accompted daynties amonge noble men and are vsed for Newyeares giftes to the better sorte

Wielinghe FIrst if you will finde out the right depth or channell of the Maze set the Tower of the Bryll South east and by east from you and sayle on so vntill on the Larboorde Haghe steeple appeare as within two mastes length wide of the South side of the square tower of Mounster and on the Starrebord the watch-tower of Eastuoren be brought to the West end of the towne These are the markes of the South entrie commonly called the Suidergate and there shall you finde the vttermost or first buye The entries which lie neere the Bryll by the shoaldes of the Dary or Botkill are at this day commodious For there are buyes fastened then the Brill beareth nearehand South-east from you Then must you sayle to the poynt neer the Bulwarke from buy to buy euen till you come to the Brill where along the shoare about a Cables length off is good roade and harborough vnto the olde Maze Thence you crosse ouer by the Breach called the Sceur the markes for it are when Couwerscie and the trees are come togither Thence must you sayle vp to Roterdam in the midst of the Channell But to enter the Goer set Goer steeple West off the watchtower set small sayle a long the shoare a while vntill you are past the watchtower shunning the point least you strike on the start or taile sand that stretcheth downe from the landes Then bring the Windmill which standeth in the Oelkens platt 5. foote distant Northward from Diricsland tower enter the porte of Goer where in the Chanell you shall anker at 6. or 7. fatham But if you will goe into Brouwersgate and goe cleare of the shoalde called Drooghericke which stretcheth downe from Goer take heed that the land markes of Schowen called Zericksea do ioyne togither vntill Outdorpe be ioyned with Goer steeple Then without regard of the shoare markes keepe these towers ioyned together till the land marke be one with the Downe which commonly is called white Blencke or Lange witte sand Then with all speed leaue the sayd towers because of the Scere which reacheth from the farthest partes of Goer for the tide setteth so strongly between Droogerecke and Scere that it would with his violence carry the ship vpon the tayle of the Scere Wherefore bearing on as neare the shoare of Ziericsea as you can you shall come to Brouwershaven where you may anker at 7. or 8. fatham But if you will enter the Vere see that East Caple may be right agaynst Middleborough

markes where of are when East Souburge standeth distant almost one pace Northward from VVest Souburge those keepe in the same distance vntill the steeples of Bruges alias Brugghellingh be brought togither for there it is three fatham deepe but it is requisite that the steeples of the two Souburges doe shut and open and that Flushing be East and by South from you and so hold on the Dorley If you will enter the VVielinghe bring Terdoes Church distant from the West end of the steeple of Liswegen a ships length which you must so keepe vntill west-caple appeareth at the East end of the Church of Heist For when Terdoes Church is brought one with Liswegen you are within the entrie of the VVielinge Then keepe the Tower which is on the East side of Heist a ships length off vntill you shall haue six fatham water Then let the little tower of Blanckenberge alias t'Hauentorenken be brought one with the watch tower of Blankenberge before the light tower of Hiest be one with the steeple of Heist then shall you be cleare of the Pol. Therfore entering the VViclings let the little Tower of Blankenberge as I haue sayd first touch the watch tower before Heist be one with his Lanterne sayle then East North east bearing somewhat towards the East and keepe Blankenbergs watch tower betweene the sayd little tower and the towne house and so haue you the best of the Chanell But when you shall see on the starboord side the Tower of VVotkirke 2. sayles breadth south from the Northerne Tower and right before you another Tower distant the space of 5. foot Northwarde from the steeple of the Abbey of Middleborough then haue you the right marks to saile thorough the VVicling as long as you can see the sayd steeple but hauing lost the sight thereof Sainct Lambertes steeple sheweth it selfe in a valley at the East side of Catsand which are the sure markes to sayle into the deepe and when you shall haue gone so farre that the watch tower of Blankenberge appeareth betweene the little tower of the same and the Towne-house then haue you gotten the right course Then bring the Lanterne of Heist to his steeple before the watch tower of Blankenberge be ioyned to the little tower of the same and you shall goe cleare of the sands called the French Pole But if all the aforesayd markes at one self time come togither you shal run right vppon it where there is but
