the_o northwest_n passage_n it_o have_v be_v so_o thorough_o search_v into_o by_o our_o nation_n that_o can_v give_v no_o encouragement_n to_o a_o far_a trial_n save_o that_o story_n man_n tell_v of_o a_o manuscript_n in_o portugal_n show_v to_o one_o of_o our_o merchant_n of_o the_o passage_n that_o way_n of_o a_o portugal_n ship_n of_o the_o phi●●ipinus_fw-la drive_v from_o thence_o by_o foul_a weather_n through_o this_o straight_a to_o portugal_n but_o to_o man_n that_o know_v the_o distance_n between_o that_o straight_a and_o those_o land_n it_o will_v seem_v the_o most_o ridiculous_a story_n in_o the_o world_n beside_o the_o falsity_n of_o the_o informer_n the_o greek_n relation_n be_v a_o far_o better_a story_n for_o he_o say_v in_o regard_n he_o be_v take_v by_o squire_n candis_n in_o the_o south-sea_n and_o lose_v all_o he_o have_v to_o procure_v some_o relief_n in_o his_o old_a age_n he_o will_v advise_v the_o english_a a_o speedy_a way_n to_o the_o east-indies_n than_o they_o now_o take_v and_o this_o intelligence_n he_o give_v after_o he_o be_v retire_v to_o his_o native_a country_n to_o repose_v from_o his_o troublesome_a way_n of_o adventure_v to_o sea_n from_o whence_o we_o may_v easy_o guess_v for_o the_o bad_a turn_n our_o nation_n do_v he_o he_o will_v not_o wish_v we_o a_o good_a one_o but_o the_o scope_n of_o his_o intelligence_n be_v but_o to_o have_v a_o bill_n of_o exchange_n to_o receive_v money_n as_o he_o pretend_v to_o come_v into_o england_n but_o how_o likely_a it_o be_v that_o he_o will_v leave_v those_o rich_a part_n of_o america_n which_o he_o live_v in_o with_o the_o spaniard_n to_o retire_v to_o his_o own_o nation_n and_o from_o thence_o to_o undertake_v a_o voyage_n for_o we_o to_o the_o worst_a place_n in_o the_o world_n a_o rational_a man_n can_v apprehend_v but_o be_v there_o such_o a_o passage_n it_o will_v much_o more_o concern_v the_o portugal_n and_o the_o spaniard_n than_o it_o do_v the_o english_a for_o their_o trade_n be_v to_o the_o north_n part_n of_o the_o east_n indies_n and_o we_o to_o the_o south_n they_o to_o the_o moluccos_n philippines_n japan_n and_o china_n whereas_o we_o seldom_o pass_v beyond_o bantam_n in_o java_n but_o be_v there_o a_o passage_n that_o way_n yet_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v choose_v before_o the_o other_o for_o can_v a_o man_n sail_n in_o a_o strait_a line_n first_o from_o england_n to_o the_o straight_o and_o then_o from_o the_o straight_a to_o the_o east_n indies_n it_o will_v prove_v a_o far_a way_n than_o the_o other_o by_o the_o cape_n of_o bonaspei_n but_o those_o that_o know_v any_o thing_n of_o those_o sea_n know_v that_o the_o sea_n course_n to_o any_o part_n of_o north_n america_n be_v as_o low_a as_o 23_o 24_o 25_o or_o 30_o the_o high_a for_o the_o wind_n which_o blow_v in_o the_o south_n fea_z east_n and_o west_n as_o well_o as_o in_o the_o north_n that_o be_v to_o say_v for_o the_o most_o part_n west_n without_o the_o tropic_n and_o almost_o constant_o east_n within_o they_o wherefore_o you_o must_v go_v out_o of_o your_o way_n aswell_o from_o the_o north_n part_n of_o america_n to_o the_o east-indies_n as_o from_o england_n to_o this_o suppose_a straight_o and_o there_o be_v as_o much_o difference_n in_o relation_n to_o pleasantness_n in_o voyage_n as_o between_o summer_n and_o winter_n for_o when_o you_o be_v clean_a of_o the_o bay_n of_o biscai_n in_o all_o the_o voyage_n by_o the_o cape_n you_o find_v no_o cold_a weather_n till_o you_o return_v to_o the_o same_o place_n again_o but_o to_o the_o contrary_a be_v so_o cold_a and_o icy_a about_o the_o straight_a in_o the_o middle_n of_o summer_n that_o there_o be_v no_o make_v way_n without_o much_o difficulty_n and_o trouble_n and_o in_o the_o south_n sea_n where_o the_o sun_n keep_v the_o same_o course_n as_o in_o the_o north_n in_o june_n sir_n francis_n drake_n in_o compass_v the_o world_n find_v so_o much_o cold_a in_o thirty_o eight_o

but_o that_o the_o land_n of_o this_o new_a world_n reach_v by_o the_o north_n part_n even_o to_o the_o northwardly_a province_n of_o the_o empire_n of_o japan_n or_o tartary_n for_o i_o find_v that_o

apprehend_v the_o only_a cause_n of_o difference_n in_o the_o temperature_n of_o the_o air_n with_o we_o and_o the_o north_n part_n of_o america_n for_o new_a england_n that_o lie_v in_o 41_o and_o

cold_a almost_o the_o whole_a year_n through_o as_o the_o undertaker_n in_o the_o north_n passage_n plain_o prove_v and_o this_o be_v cause_v certain_o by_o the_o land-wind_n which_o that_o height_n for_o the_o most_o part_n blow_v west_n and_o northward_o which_o be_v so_o much_o more_o cold_a in_o regard_n it_o come_v from_o those_o vast_a region_n that_o be_v far_o thick_a and_o untilled_a
