Men by little and little increased and are now become very rich strong proud and violent So in the Race of the self same tyme running the Coasts of Norfolk and Suffolk next to those Fishing places adiacent are decayed in their Nauy to the Number of 140. Sayle And they from Threescore to a hundred Tun and vpward besides Crayers and other Wherupon Besides many other dammages thereby susteyned publikly These Coasts are not * Though of Late in the Vlishing Low Country Trublesome disorders Some Few by Stealing ouer of vittayles and other things from this Common-Wealth haue made them selues priuatly rich and so Hable to set furth to Island and to other places a Ship or two who before were far vnhable therto by their own Wealth and Lawfull trade of Dealing hable to trade Iseland as in tymes past they haue done to no little los yerely to the wealth-Publik of this Kingdom But the Herring Busses hither yerely resorting out of the Low Cuntries vnder King Phillip his dominion are aboue 500. Besides an Hundred or such a thing of Frenche-men The North Seas Fishing within the English Limits are yerely possessed of 300. or 400. Sayle of Flemyngs so accownted The Western Fishings of Hake and Pylchard are yerely possessed by a great Nauy of Frenchmen who yerely do great Iniuries to our poore Cuntrymen her Maiesties faithfull Subiects Strangers also enioy at their pleasure the Herring Fishing of Alamby Wyrkington and White Hauen vpon the Coast of Lancashire And in Wales about Dyfi and Aberysthwith the plentifull Herring Fishing is enioyed by .300 Sayle of Strangers But In Ireland Baltemore is possessed yeerly from Iuly to Michelmas most commonly with 300. Say●● of Spanyards entring there into the Fishing at a Streict not so broad as half the breadth of the Thames against White-Hall Where our late good King Edward the Sixth his most honorable Priuy Counsaill was of the mynde once to haue planted a strong Bulwark for other waighty Respects as well as for his Maiesty to be Souerayn Lord of the Fishing of Myllwyn and Codd there Blackrock ys yerely fished by 300 or somtimes 400 Sayle of Spanyards and Frenchemen But to Recken all I should be to tedious to you and make my hart to Ake for sorrow c. Yet Surely I think it necessary to leaue to our Posterity some Remembrance of the places where our rich Fishings els are about Ireland As at Kilsale Cork Carlingford Saltesses Dungarwen Yowghall Waterford La foy The Band Calibeg c.

Aphorislica and is yet searse ceased in all corners for it is backbiting worke and seeketh Corners For some men And they such who ought to haue bin honest and discreet as they are or were accounted learned haue very enuiously fathered it vpon the excellent G●rardus Mercator Rupelmundanus yet liuing at Duysburgh as to be the only and true Author of those Aphorismes But afterward when that was found a peui●h fable Then vpon one Vrso who liued many hundred yeres since was all the Commendation bestowed for that Aphoristicall worke contriuing And then agayne after that vpon one Alkabitius And at length with shame enough but more will follow being driuen from these mere enuious and spitefull false deuises yet most obstinately and impudently they still auouch to diuers Ientlemen and certaine Noble Men that some other or in effect any Man els was the Author therof rather than they would honestly acknowlege the Truthe of only this Ientleman his peculiar Industry and no small skill vsed in the contriuing and framing of that Booke containing the chief Crop and Roote of Ten yeres his first Outlandish Homish Studies and exercises Philosophicall as partly in the preface therof to the Reader is specified but more habundantly and purposely hath that point bin proued and testified to some who were before fowly infected with the sklaunderous Opinion that one Vrso was the Author of it and not this honest Brytish Ientleman as at an other tyme will be made more euident When a ful declaration in more conuenient place may be made of the mere malicious very rash and Brutish Censure of a certain Doctor yet liuing Who lately endeuored him self to perswade some right worshipfull Ientlemen that it were good and behoofull for this Common Wealth If the sayd Philosopher were Banished this land for euer Bicause said this Doctor but most vntruly as is now very euident to Thousands of Men of this Kingdom and other That to no Man of this Realm he did at any tyme or yet doth or will communicate any part of his learned Talent by word or writing But is wholy addicted to his priuate commodity only auancing by his own Studies and practises very secret That Doctor his name shall not here by me be disclosed for that he hath vpon honest Repentance for his so iniurious dammageable Intent receiued his Sentence of free forgiuenes in the presence of worshipfull witnes yet aliue And when likewise the perfect declaration may more aptly be had of the most Iudas like pranke of an other Doctor who in the tyme of this Brytan Innocent his Captiuity and somewhat before the day of his enlarging by letters sent to his keper from the Right honorable Priuy Counsail to KING PHILIP and QVEENE MARY did very ernestly sollicite with the Lord Chauncelor with whom he could do very much And with the Bishop of London whom also he could half perswade that it were requisite and Iustice that the sayd Brytan Captiue were not set at liberty at all but should be forthwith committed to PERPETVAL PRISON And that vpon such respects as he most vnchristianlike and maliciously had deuised and very impudently vpon his Credit with them such as it was would haue forced to preuaile But God would not suffer the sayd Courteous Captiue his great freendship and humanity a few yeres before vsed toward that Doctor in Paris so to be requited with worse then Ingratitude Besides that the sayd Captiue could neuer nor yet can be duly charged with any word or deed vttred or done contrary to the performance of his duty toward his Soueraigne and the higher Powers And though I here omit many other great Iniuries done vnto him about the bereauing him of the true and due Title and Interest in and to his own works writings and Inuentions in other places recorded And among that sort omitting that foule Iniury done to him by one Ioannes Franciscus Offhuysius whose booke De Diuina Astrorum facultate was of this Brytan Philosopher his Inuention chiefly As may be made euident both by the matter therin contayned being compared to his Propaedeumata Aphoristica And also by the said Franciscus his daily familiar Letters solliciting and requesting those such like Hypotheses Astrologicall at the said Philosopher his hands he being moreouer here conuersant with and depending vpon this our Brytan Mathematicien aboue a whole yere Yet I must Note vnto you euen here that one of those Iniuries was aboue all the rest so Notorious and withall so notably well known to be an Iniury that the last yere a certain Mechanicien being busied about matter of Nauigation calling to his Remembrance the same Iniury being a fowle and Impudent brag that an English Mariner now aboue 20. yeres sins had made to diuers honest men ●of the new Sea Instrument newly also called the Paradoxall Cumpas As to haue bin of his Inuention was so inflamed with Indignation against this arrogant Mariner his abhominable Impudency so long tyme by this Ientleman very patiently suffred that he made very earnest request to this Ientleman the true Inuentor of this Instrument Paradoxal that although all the Iniuries receiued at their hands who were deemed learned he would not very sharply reproue and but at leysure yet that it should be an Act mete and needfull for him to do being also behoofull for the Common Wealth speedily to detect such shameles Braggers and Crakers onely sophistically furnished to outward shew and that with other Mens rare Inuentions but of them selues vtterly vnhable to Inuent any worthy Conclusion to be profitably practised on Sea or Land. Which Mechanicien his ernest request by the foresayd Ientleman being graunted was the very chief first occasion of these Rare Memorials concerning The perfect Arte of Nauigation so comming in Record after a Mechanicall and vulgar Artificer his blunt maner of penning and collecting the same Who about the Entrance into the matter of Nauigation finding good Opportunity to speake First of a PETY-NAVY-ROYALL continually to be mainteyned for manifold great Commodities procuring to this BRYTISH MONARCHIE which no other way can be brought to pas and among them all the PERPETVALL POLITIK SECVRITIE and better preseruation of this famous Kingdom from all Forrein danger or Homish disorder to be the chiefest and most needfull Publik Benefit and vndowtedly likely to ensue therof he was dutifully willing rather to follow some brief discussing of that very waighty matter and especially in these dangerous dayes and Incredible peeuish practises ful often deuised against the GOOD PEACE AND PROSPEROVS TRANQVILLITIE of this INCOMPARABLE ILANDISH MONARCHIE then to fall to the foresayd Generall and Rare Memorials recording of THE PERFECT ARTE OF NAVIGATION which he therupon set aside a while And wherof now only the Second Volume entreateth vnder this proper Title THE BRYTISH COMPLEMENT OF THE PERFECT ARTE OF NAVIGATION For no vulgar doctrine or practise is therin conteyned But rather
