Translated into English by J. Moxon Hydrographer to the Kings most Excellent Majesty London Printed and Sold by James Moxon at the Signe of Atlas in Warick-Lane 1691. To the Reverend and Right Worshipful PETER MEW D. D. Vice Chancellour of OXFORD And To the Reverend and Right Worshipful JOHN BRETON D. D. Vice Chanc. of CAMBRIDGE And to the rest of the Reverend and Learned Collegiates of these two famous Vniversities Reverend and Learned SIRS I May justly expect that by your Approbation or Censure the Reputation of these Scriptural Mapps must stand or fall And therefore being by my own Examinations of them prompted to hope well from You I offer them to your perusals The Originals of these had their Original from an Assembly of Dutch Ministers who selected from among themselves two such Persons as they thought apt and able to correct all the foregoing Authours that have set forth Mapps of the like nature viz. Ortelius Christiaen Adrichom Arnold and Nicholas Geilkerck c. which being finisht they exposed to Publick view designing thereby the more profitable and pleasant reading of the Holy Scriptures Among other Speculators their Work fell under my Ey but it was all in the Dutch Tongue and scarce to be understood but by those that understood it Wherefore I judging it as profitable and pleasant for us as them took both the task of Translation upon my self and the Charge of Engraving and Printing the Plates and Book If therefore by your good Readings any of you find faults in any of these Mapps and let me know where they be I shall be both thank fal to you and carefull to get the Plates corrected and amended against the next Impression Reverend and Learned Sirs I wish this Peece as capable as I am willing to serve ye Joseph Moxon To the READER HEre is offered thee for s●al price the product of much Study and great Pairs The Dutch Protestant Ministery thought it a Work very necessary for Protestants that may read the Bible to bind up with them a●d therefore exposed these Mapps in their Vulgar Language together with Explanations on each particular Mapp And I for the same Reasons render you the same Mapps in the English Tongue with apt Explanations on each of them I have examined every word in each Mapp particularly and altered their spelling the names of Citties and Towns c. to the spelling of our English Bibles and Geographical Tables and in some few Cases where I saw positive Reason for it from the Bible corrected the scituation of Places In this Book of Explanations Mr Butle● the Authour of Christologi hath in a great measure assisted me The rest I translated from its Original in the Dutch all but some alterations I thought fit to make here and there I have also examined all the proofs of Scripture relative to this Discourse which I suppose by oft re-printing of later Impressions from former were become exceeding falsly cited But I have corrected them I confess some grave Eys or tender sighted Persons may wish the Letters in some of these Mapps had been bigger which in regard of the fulness of those Mapps could not be But if such Persons will use a Magnifying Glasse of smal price they shall find the smalest letters appear large enough I chose this Volume for this little Book that it might more conveniently ly open on the Maps while you are perusing them to avoid the trouble of turning them to and fro Where you find any Literal faults have escaped either in Engraving the Mapps or Printing this Book Pray mend them with your Pen and consider how difficult it is to do any thing of this nature without some fault Farewell Joseph Moxon An Explanatory Discourse upon the Mapp of all the EARTH Shewing the Scituation of all the following Mapps in respect of the whole And also how it was since the Flood devided and inhabited by the Posterity of Noah THE Eternal and Almighty God having on the first Day created the Heavens the Earth and the Light by his Word out of nothing On the second Day the Firmament and the Waters above and beneath the same On the third Day parted the Dry Land from the Waters and created Grass Herbs and fruitful Trees On the fourth the Sun Moon and Stars On the fifth the Fishes great and smal and the Fowls of the Air On the sixth the Beasts of the Earth At last he created Man and Woman in his own likeness giving him power over the Fish of the Sea the Fowls of the Air and the Beasts of the Earth and every creeping thing and blessed him placing him in Paradice and promising him upon his obedience eternal life of which the Free of Life was to be a visible signe giving them leave to eat of all the Trees in the Garden except only of the Tree of Good and Evil Telling them that in the day they eat thereof they should dy the death The Devil seeing Man placed in this happy and Imperial condition stirs up the Serpent to tempt the Woman to taste the fruit of the Tree of Good and Evil telling her that they should not dy but that their eyes should be opened and they should be as Gods With these sly and impudent lyes of the Serpent the Woman was perswaded to eat of the forbidden Fruit and gave unto her Husband to eat also So that they both strayed from the Commands of God their Creator and fell by their disobedience into sin and consequently into destruction From Adam in this fallen condition is produced the whole race of Mankind who dayly as they increase fall into all manner of Pleasure Sin and Wickedness Insomuch as through their sinfull lusts and abhominable lives they brought upon themselves the sad and heavy Judgement of an Universal Deludge So that in this Flood perished all the Generations of Adam all other Creatures living upon the Face of the Earth except Faithful Noah and his Family and two of kind Male and Female of all Beasts and Fowls and all Creeping things preserved an Ark built by the directions of Almighty God When the Waters retired into the compass of the Seas Noah devided the dry Land among his Sons Shem Ham and Japhet
