the yeare It passes through the Southermost parts of Barbary Aegypt Arabia India China Nova Hispania and the Island Cuba The Tropicke of Capricorne likewise so named of the signe Capricorne in the starry heaven is a circle of like distance at the other Tropicke from the Aequinoctiall Southward that is 23. degrees and a halfe When the Sunne is gone downe to the circle Southward it is our shortest day in the whole yeare This Tropicke passes through Monomotapa Saint Laurence Island Peru and South coasts of Brasile The Articke or North polar circle is distant from the North Pole 23 degrees and a halfe so much as the Tropicke of Cancer is from the Aequinoctiall but the distance betweene that Tropicke and it is 43. degrees You may see it passe through Island Norway Boddia Moscovy Tartary crosse Davis S●●aites and Groenland The Antarticke or Sout●●olar Circle is distant from the South Pole 23. degrees and a ha●●e so farre as the Tropicke of Capricorne is from the Equinoc●●all This circle passes thro●●●● Magellanica or Terra Australis Incognita onely Now these foure lesser ●●●cles viz. the two Tropickes and Polar circles doe fitly pa●●●he Earth into five Zones The Zones A Zone is a space of Earth contained betweene two of the smaller circles or within the compasse of either polar Circle the name signifies as much as a girdle by reason that each Zone compasseth about the earth in manner of a girdle Of these there be two kinds one temperate the other untemperate There be two temper●●e Zones the one North the other South The North temperate Zo●● is that space of Earth contained betweene the Tropicke of C●ncer and the North polar Circle The South temperate Zo●● is that space of earth stretched along betweene the Tropicke of Capricorne and the South Polar Circle They are called temper●●● Zones for that the ayre thereof hath a farre better and more ●●●●erate temperature and meeter for man to inhabit than t●●●●temperate Zones The breadth of them is 43. degrees a piece which degrees make either temperate Zone to be 2580. English miles broad apiece The untemperate Zones are twofold one exceeding in the extremity of heat the other as much in cold they have bin thought in former times altogether uncharitable but latter experience hath found them more fi● for habitation The Torrid or burnt Zo●e which is the hot untemperate Zone is that space of heaven which you see contained betweene the Tropicke of Cancer and that of Capricorne It hath the name of Torrid because the Sunne continually passes thereover and casting downe direct rayes ●●ects it with a marvellous heate thereby making it not so convenient for the Inhabitants as the temperate Zones are The breadth of this Zone is comprehended betweene the two Tropickes and containes 47. degrees that is of English miles 2820. The frozen Zones are spaces of Earth inclosed within either of the Polar circles of these there are two one North the other South The North fr●zen Zone is that space of Earth contained within the compasse of the North Polar circle The breadth thereof reckoned 23. degrees and a halfe viz. from the Pole it selfe to the Polar circle which of English miles is 1410. The South frozen Zone is that space of Earth compassed all about with the South Polar circle It hath the like breadth from the South Pole as the other frozen Zone hath from the North Pole and likewise the number of miles is the same They are called frozen Zones because they for the most part exceed in cold and that is caused in regard that the Sunne for a good part of the yeare is under the Horizon and sees them not and when he is come up into their sight his appearance which is for a pretty long season together rather comforts them than any vertuall heat proceeding from him for there th● ayre is stuft with thicke foggy vapours and his beames at highe●● fall but very oblikely on them so that what through his want and unability to dispel the cold and the colds force to resist and beare backe the Suns heate these Zones remaine almost unhabitable and even as the word is frozen The names of all these set in the right place of each Zone you shall see in that Meridian going about America and Magellanica Of the Climats IN that great Meridian going about Europe Asia and Afric● are described the Climates Now a Climate is a space of the Earth included within the space of two Parallels The use of them is to shew the difference of length and shortnesse of dayes over all the world as you may see in the midst of every Climat set the number of the houres of the longest day in the yeare under that Climat the longest day in one Climat differing halfe an houre from the longest in another So that there are foure and twenty Climats consisting of forty eight Parallels ere the day come to be 24. houres in length which is twelve houres longer than the ordinary Aequinoctiall day is Now this is to be understood Under the Aequinoctiall line and 13 degrees that is 3. Parallels on either side thereof the dayes exceed not the length of twelve houres but after in every Clime increase the length of halfe an houre so that there are numbred as is said before 48. Parallels which make 24. Climats before the dayes become 24. houres long the which length they being growne to their increase is then by whole weeks and moneths till in the foure and twentieth Clime about the Pole the day is ful half a yeare long And as it is thus betweene the Aequator and North Pole so is it betweene the said Aequator and South Pole wherefore there are two sorts of Climats that is 24 Northerne and as many Southerne The Climes Northward are thus named the first is Dia Meroes because the middle parallell thereof passes through the middest of the Inland Jland Meroe in the Continent of Africa the second is Dia Sienes the third Dia Alexandria the fourth Dia Rhodos the fift Dia Romes the sixt Dia Ponton the seventh Dia Borisihenes the eight Dia Ripheos the 9th Per Dianam The South Climes have the same names save onely that the word Anti is thereto added as Anti Dia Meroes the next Anti Dia Sienes and so along unto the ninth Southward further than the ninth Clime on either side th● Aequinoctiall they are not named but yet the Climes runne on both wayes to the number of 24. as is seene in the Meridian That there be but nine named the reason is because when these names were given no more than nine Climats were knowne to those of ancient times but since though the number of them be increast to 24. the rest are not so knowne by proper names but remaine innominate The Division of the Earth and of the foure parts thereof THe world in later times hath been divided into the known and unknowne This last since obscuritie hides it silence shall overslip it The
