minute_n in_o the_o length_n of_o the_o day_n must_v 21600._o mile_n which_o be_v the_o whole_a compass_n of_o the_o earth_n according_a to_o the_o same_o proportion_n either_o subtract_v or_o add_v 1440_o minute_n which_o make_v 24._o hour_n the_o length_n of_o the_o natural_a day_n to_o confirm_v the_o demonstration_n by_o popular_a experience_n i_o remember_v i_o have_v read_v in_o the_o

have_v lose_v one_o day_n have_v go_v westward_o and_o so_o compass_v the_o earth_n round_o hence_o will_v arise_v diverse_a consectary_n not_o unpleasing_a to_o be_v scan_v one_o i_o will_v touch_v not_o much_o dissonant_n from_o our_o purpose_n that_o three_o man_n reside_v in_o the_o same_o place_n at_o one_o time_n shall_v notwithstanding_o all_o vary_v one_o from_o the_o other_o in_o the_o day_n of_o the_o week_n keep_v yet_o a_o exact_a account_n which_o to_o explain_v the_o better_a we_o will_v suppose_v a_o jew_n a_o sarazen_a and_o a_o christian_a reside_v in_o the_o same_o town_n together_o it_o may_v so_o happen_v according_a to_o our_o former_a ground_n that_o the_o sarazen_a according_a to_o the_o law_n of_o mahomet_n shall_v observe_v his_o friday_n the_o jew_n his_o saturday_n be_v his_o sabbath_n and_o the_o christian_a the_o lord_n day_n be_v the_o sunday_n yet_o so_o as_o all_o shall_v happen_v on_o the_o same_o day_n all_o of_o they_o exclude_v any_o error_n in_o their_o calculation_n for_o supposition_n sake_n we_o will_v place_v they_o all_o at_o one_o time_n all_o together_o in_o palestine_n on_o a_o saturday_n at_o which_o time_n let_v we_o imagine_v the_o sarazen_a to_o take_v his_o journey_n westward_o the_o christian_a eastward_o so_o as_o both_o of_o they_o in_o their_o coast_n compass_v the_o world_n to_o meet_v again_o in_o the_o same_o place_n the_o jew_n all_o the_o while_o we_o suppose_v resident_a in_o the_o same_o place_n it_o will_v follow_v by_o necessary_a consequence_n that_o the_o sarazen_a go_v about_o the_o earth_n eastward_o will_v loose_v one_o day_n the_o christian_a journey_v westward_o will_v gain_v one_o day_n the_o jew_n remain_v in_o the_o same_o place_n will_v neither_o gain_v nor_o loose_v these_o three_o man_n then_o meet_v together_o again_o after_o a_o year_n two_o or_o three_o at_o the_o same_o place_n must_v needs_o make_v a_o diverse_a account_n for_o one_o and_o the_o selfsame_o day_n will_v be_v to_o the_o sarazen_a friday_n to_o the_o jew_n saturday_n and_o to_o the_o christian_a sunday_n if_o they_o exact_o calculate_v the_o time_n from_o their_o first_o meeting_n to_o their_o return_n unto_o the_o same_o place_n i_o think_v this_o if_o there_o want_v other_o argument_n be_v a_o reason_n sufficient_a to_o convince_v some_o straitlaced_n man_n who_o rigid_o contend_v our_o lord_n day_n which_o they_o erroneous_o term_v the_o sabbath_n to_o be_v mere_o moral_a as_o ground_v on_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n if_o it_o be_v so_o according_a to_o our_o premise_n before_o demonstrate_v this_o absurdity_n will_v ensue_v necessary_o that_o the_o moral_a law_n which_o they_o call_v also_o in_o a_o sort_n the_o law_n of_o nature_n be_v subject_a to_o manifold_a mutation_n which_o by_o our_o best_a divine_n be_v utter_o deny_v the_o consequence_n will_v easy_o follow_v because_o it_o can_v be_v deny_v by_o any_o christian_a but_o that_o all_o nation_n of_o the_o world_n issue_v from_o noah_n ark_n the_o seminary_n of_o mankind_n and_o spread_v themselves_o from_o thence_o over_o the_o face_n of_o the_o whole_a earth_n some_o far_a some_o at_o a_o short_a distance_n whereby_o change_v the_o longitude_n with_o their_o habitation_n they_o must_v of_o necessity_n alter_v the_o difference_n of_o time_n whereon_o they_o seek_v to_o ground_v their_o sabbath_n neither_o at_o this_o day_n can_v any_o man_n exact_o and_o precise_o observe_v any_o one_o day_n either_o as_o it_o be_v first_o appoint_v by_o moses_n in_o the_o leviticall_a law_n as_o it_o be_v institute_v by_o christ_n apostle_n afterward_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o manifold_a transportation_n of_o colony_n and_o transmigration_n of_o nation_n from_o one_o region_n into_o another_o whereby_o the_o time_n must_v necessary_o be_v suppose_v to_o vary_v and_o if_o any_o more_o moderate_a shall_v urge_v that_o not_o the_o exact_a seven_o day_n from_o the_o first_o institution_n bind_v we_o to_o observation_n so_o one_o day_n in_o seven_o be_v observe_v it_o can_v hardly_o pass_v without_o exception_n for_o as_o much_o as_o if_o any_o man_n as_o magellane_n drake_n or_o candish_n shall_v travail_v the_o world_n about_o a_o day_n must_v needs_o be_v vary_v as_o we_o have_v show_v here_o i_o will_v willing_o demand_v whether_o such_o traveller_n return_v home_o into_o their_o own_o country_n shall_v celebrate_v the_o same_o lord_n day_n according_a to_o the_o institution_n of_o their_o own_o church_n or_o else_o as_o they_o find_v according_a to_o their_o own_o account_n if_o they_o observe_v the_o latter_a they_o must_v schismatical_o divide_v themselves_o from_o the_o church_n and_o keep_v a_o sabbath_n of_o their_o own_o which_o in_o every_o man_n judgement_n will_v be_v think_v absurd_a as_o the_o mother_n of_o many_o inconvenience_n if_o the_o former_a take_v place_n then_o must_v the_o d●y_n be_v changeable_a in_o his_o nature_n and_o so_o one_o day_n of_o seven_o of_o they_o shall_v not_o be_v observe_v i_o speak_v not_o this_o to_o cherish_v any_o neglect_n of_o the_o duty_n we_o owe_v that_o day_n but_o rather_o to_o prove_v it_o not_o mere_o to_o be_v ground_v on_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n as_o some_o will_v persuade_v but_o rather_o a_o ecclesiastical_a constitution_n derive_v as_o it_o seem_v most_o probable_a from_o the_o apostle_n though_o not_o in_o practice_n in_o christ_n time_n wherein_o the_o jewish_a sabbath_n be_v not_o yet_o abolish_v but_o i_o have_v dwell_v too_o long_o on_o this_o &_o may_v perhaps_o incur_v sharp_a censure_n for_o wade_v too_o far_o into_o the_o depth_n of_o divinity_n but_o my_o apology_n shall_v be_v this_o that_o albeit_o i_o have_v go_v beyond_o my_o present_a subject_n i_o ●●ue_v not_o yet_o transcend_v the_o limit_n of_o my_o profession_n i_o serve_v no_o faction_n and_o therefore_o dare_v adventure_v my_o language_n as_o free_a as_o my_o opinion_n 5_o concern_v the_o longitude_n two_o thing_n be_v to_o be_v know_v 1._o the_o invention_n 2._o the_o expression_n the_o invention_n propose_v we_o the_o way_n and_o manner_n of_o the_o first_o find_v out_o of_o the_o longitude_n of_o place_n there_o be_v few_o thing_n in_o nature_n which_o have_v more_o perplex_v the_o wit_n of_o ingenious_a mathematician_n than_o the_o exact_a way_n of_o find_v out_o the_o longitude_n of_o place_n not_o that_o the_o matter_n be_v over_o difficult_a in_o itself_o but_o that_o they_o seek_v out_o a_o way_n to_o perform_v this_o conclusion_n not_o depend_v from_o the_o observation_n of_o the_o celestial_a body_n and_o motion_n a_o matter_n as_o yet_o never_o find_v out_o and_o i_o fear_v i_o unpossible_a because_o they_o propose_v to_o themselves_o one_o of_o these_o two_o way_n to_o find_v it_o out_o either_o by_o some_o magnetical_a instrument_n or_o else_o by_o industry_n of_o navigation_n neither_o of_o which_o can_v much_o profit_n not_o the_o former_a because_o there_o have_v never_o be_v any_o fix_a point_n find_v in_o the_o equatour_n betwixt_o east_n and_o west_n as_o betwixt_o north_n and_o south_n have_v be_v observe_v so_o that_o nothing_o can_v proceed_v out_o of_o the_o mere_a nature_n of_o the_o earthly_a globe_n whereon_o we_o may_v ground_v any_o difference_n of_o longitude_n neither_o be_v the_o second_o very_o beneficial_a for_o that_o all_o voyage_n both_o by_o sea_n and_o land_n be_v very_o irregular_a and_o uncertain_a either_o by_o reason_n of_o sundry_a impediment_n as_o rock_n mountain_n wood_n contrary_a wind_n and_o other_o danger_n turn_v aside_o the_o direct_a course_n of_o passenger_n from_o any_o direct_a way_n or_o observation_n or_o else_o by_o the_o ignorance_n of_o mariner_n which_o seldom_o pass_v so_o far_o on_o discovery_n and_o if_o they_o do_v know_v not_o perfect_o to_o delineate_v out_o their_o journey_n as_o a_o cosmographer_n will_v expect_v to_o any_o tolerable_a satisfaction_n nevertheless_o by_o astronomical_a observation_n we_o have_v many_o way_n leave_v we_o for_o the_o performance_n of_o this_o conclusion_n as_o shall_v be_v teach_v in_o these_o follow_a proposition_n 1_o by_o a_o
