the chiefe places in the Admiraltie and marine causes of England Certaine briefe extracts of the orders of the Contractation house of Siuil in Spaine touching their gouernment in sea-matters together with The streight and seuere examination of Pilots and Masters before they be admitted to take charge of ships aswell by the Pilot mayor and brotherhood of ancient Masters as by the Kings reader of The lecture of the art of Nauigation with the time that they be enioyned to bee his auditors and some part of the questions that they are to answere vnto Which if they finde good and beneficial for our seamen I hope they wil gladly imbrace and imitate or finding out some fitter course of their owne will seeke to bring such as are of that calling vnto better gouernment and more perfection in that most laudable and needfull vocation To leaue this point I was once minded to haue added to the end of these my labours a short treatise which I haue lying by me in writing touching The curing of hot diseases incident to traueilers in long and Southerne voyages which treatise was written in English no doubt of a very honest mind by one M.
