so the course hath been observed to be divers according to the diversity of places It must also be observed that the Sea doth move otherwise at the full Moon then it doth when it is but half for there is more strength in a full light then in that which is almost extinguished There is also a certain place in Norway called Maelstroom within which the Sea flowing is in such sort swallowed up by a Gulf that it is never seen afterwards The like is to be seen in the Boddick Gulf. Of the deepness of the Sea It must also be understood that it is not every where equal for it is less in the Ocean then in the Mediterranean Sea The Seas which the Spaniards call Del Nort and Del Zur are in such sort covered with green Reeds that the ships seem rather to sail upon green Meadows then upon the Waters Of the fruitfulness and richness of the Sea And this is no less different according to the diversity of places then of the Earth for they who have sailed through the Sea which is between Spain and America say that they have often made above 100 Leagues without seeing one fish and contrariwise in ther places there are such abundance to be seen that it is wonderful which hath been well known by the those who have sailed towards the North Coasts of America and above all towards Newfound Land which for the abundance of fish is called De Baccalos Moreover one would think that Nature hath taken delight in counterfeiting in the Sea many things which are seen on the Earth For as touching four-footed Beasts you shall find therein the Elephant the Hog the Schel-crab the Dog the Cals the Horse the Cow and many other the like things And as for Feathered Fowels there is the Hawk the Swallow and others yea the very likeness and image of man The ancient Writers as also the late do likewise affirm That there are Meirmaids in the Sea which have at sundry times shewed themselves in divers places as Peter Launy affirmes by the testimony of many to whom I remit the doubtful Reader And finally the Sea brings forth also divers Plants as Coral Pearles Amber Sponge and many other things both delightful and necessary for mans use Of the Circles in the Map and their Vse The imaginary parts of the Earth are such as though not in the Earth yet must be supposed to be so for the understanding of this Science and are certain Circles going about the Earth answerable to them which the Astronomers attribnte to the Heavens That bigger Line which crosseth both Planispheres in the Map straight along in the midst dividing as it were the World into two halves that is to say North and South is called the Equinoctial Equator or middle Line because when the Sun is come thereto which is on the 11th of March and 12th of September the day and night is of equal length over all the World and this is the great fixed and immoveable Circle which goes round about the Earthly Globe from East to West and passeth through Bornea Upper-Ethiopia and Guinea as you may see in the Map This Line is full of black and white spots or spaces to the number of 360 which are called Degrees and a degree consists of 60 minutes and conteins 60 miles for as much as a minute is accounted a mile The use hereof is to shew the Latitude of any Countrey Place or City that is the distance of them towards the North or South from the Equator which is reckoned on the Meridian towards either Pole Those therefore have North latitude that inhabit or dwell between the middle Line and the North Pole and those South latitude who dwell between the Equinoctial and South Pole The Meridian is a great Circle compassing round the Earth from Pole to Pole and is that which you see in the Circumference of the two Planispheres of the Map But there are many Meridians according to the divers places in which a Man lives but the chief and fixed passeth through St. Michaels one of the Azores Isles The use of the Meridian is to shew the Longitude of any Countrey Place or City Now the Longitude is the distance of it East or West from the great and fixed Meridian and this distance or longitude is measured and numbred on the middle Line or Equator by 10 20 c. from the great and fixed Meridian to the numbers of 360 into which the whole Compasse of the Earth is divided An Example shall be this Look for England and you will see that it is a little East of the second Meridian then follow that Line to the Equator and look there as much Eastward as England is from the Meridian above and count or reckon the degrees thereon from the great and fixed Meridian to that place and you will see that it is about 22 and this is the longitude of England but then you must note that we mean the middle thereof All the other small Lines that go through the Map from North to South are also called Meridians We will give you an Example both of the longitude and latitude together Suppose you would know in what degree of longitude and latitude the middle of Ireland is First then look for Ireland and you will see it is North of the fifth parallel then follow that Line to the Meridian and you will see that it is about 51 Then cast your eye to the middle of Ireland and you will see that it is about 52 Then look towards the West and you will perceive that it lies somewhat East of the first Meridian Then follow it down to the Equator and so look as much East there as Ireland is above and you will see that the middle thereof is about 52 which is the longitude thereof so that the middle of Ireland is about the 52 degree of latitude and thus you may easily find any other place or City And this may serve for a Rule to know the length and breadth of any Countrey for as much as every degree is reckoned for 60 miles as was said before Those small Lines thwarting or crossing the Meridian from East to West are called parallels or equidistances being distant one from another 10 deg towards each Pole and are for the easie and ready finding out of the latitude of any place from the equator As for example look for England and count the parallels or equidistances till you come to the parallel which is nearest to it and you will find them to be 5 Then follow that line to the meridian and you will see the figure set thereat is 50 so that you will find the latitude or distance for they are both as one of England from the Equator towards the North-pole to be 50 degr and better but then this you must note is the South part of England and so in the like manner may you find any other place But there is another sort of

of the fixed Stars commonly called The Starry Firmament and performeth his motion in 7000 years 9 Is called The Christalline Heaven or 2 moveable his motion is almost immensible and is called The trembling Motion and is said to be performed by later Astronomers in 49000 yeares 10 Is called The first moveable Heaven conteining the rest within it and removing from the East to the West carrieth about with it inviolably all the other Spheres whose motion is contrary from the West to the East and do differ much in their motion as you may see by what hath been said The 11. is called The Imperial or highest Heaven where God and his Angels are said to dwell Of the Eclipse The word Eclipse is as much as to say want of light as when a thing is darkned or hid from our sight Of the Eclipse of the SUN The SUN is said to be eclipsed when the Moon commeth directly between the Sun and the Earth or our sight And the reason why we have not an Eclipse of the Sun every new Moon is because the Moons latitude carries her beyond the Bounds in which an Eclipse happens that is when she is somewhat far distant from the Head and Tail of the Dragon Of the MOON 's Eclipse The MOON is said to be eclipsed when the dark Body of the Earth comes directly between the Sun and Moon and so hindreth the Beams of the Sun from the Moon and thus the Eclipses of the Sun and Moon are caused as by the Figures thereof at the lower end of this Map doth appear Of the effects of the Eclipses When there happens an Eclipse of the Sun or Moon if Mars shall be Ruler thereof he signifies house-burnings and quarrels c. If Saturn be Ruler thereof he signifies overflowing of Water Earth-quakes Famine and dangerous diseases If Venus or Jupiter are Rulers they signifie plenty of all things Hermes saith If there happen two Eclipses in one moneth they signifie many troubles and controversies But we must not be over-curious in the search nor too confident in the event of things For that secret things belong unto the Lord and revealed unto us Deut. 29. 29. Of the Blasing Stars or Comets They are flames drawn into the higher parts of the Aire which come by driness and long quietness in the Air and signifie corruption in the Aire to follow and are either signes of Earth-quakes and dearth of Corn or Wars and dearth There hapned one in the year 1618 from the 18 of November to the 16 of December following it was seen all over Europe Of the Firmaments and Constellations The two Hemispheres in the middle of the Map one above and another below filled with shapes or pictures of men beasts birds fish and the like embost with Stars to shew the names of the several Stars and other things to large for present discourse and hard to be understood by ordinary capacities A View of EUROPE or as we may call it The Christian World because all the Kings and Rulers thereof do not onely allow but profess the same EUROPE bounded as in the Map is shewed and expressed though it be the least being but 2800 miles in length in breadth 1200 yet doth it carry the name of the most happy part of all the World for Her plenty of Grain Cattel Fruits Rivers and Fountains of most excellent vertue being also richly furnished with beautiful Cities Castles Houses and men very expert in Arts and Sciences She wants nothing but what she may well spare as precious Jewels which have brought in vain and useless Pride and Wild-Beasts which cause Desarts in the place where they breed Yet of Silver Gold and other Mettals she hath her share It was first inhabited by the Sons of Japheth as is granted by the best Historians But we shall more fully describe it in Her several Countries ENGLAND not to spend time to shew how it hath had its alterations and changes of Government as well as others is bounded on the East with the German Ocean on the West with the Irish Sea on the South with the British Sea and on the North with the Rivers of Tweed and Solway It is situated in a sweet temperate and wholsom Air and is exceeding fruitful in Wheat and other Grain and hath not only many pleasant Valleys furnished with goodly Rivers plentifully stored with Fish but divers Hills on which are fed innumerable Flocks of Sheep bearing fine Wooll of which is made Cloth which serves not onely themselves but is also transported into other Parts The Men are brave Warriours both by Sea and Land as the Scots Irish and French formerly and the Dutch of late have felt Neither have the Spaniards fared much better then the rest for they sent John of Gaunt home with 8 Wagons laden with Gold and he was to have an Yearly Pension of 10000 Marks The Women are not inferiour to if not before any other Parts and they have been of high esteem amongst Foreign Nations for their modesty though of late much addicted to the light garb of the French and as they are the handsomest so are their priviledges the greatest of any for it is a by-word with the Italians That if there were a Bridge made over the narrow Seas all the Women of Europe would run into England for here they have the upper-end at the Table the upper-hand in the streets the thirds of their Husbands Estates and in a word it is a Paradise for Women And although their Nobles are many yet their Powers are limited The whole Land is divided into 40 Shires and those have 6 Judges for the ending of Controversies two whereof are to administer Justice in the chief Town of every Shire twice a year And although it had but two Universities yet they exceed ten of most other Countries The Revenues hereof in Henry the 7. time were said to be 40000 Crowns yearly and improved by Henry the 8th to a Million more The Gospel was first preached here by Joseph of Arimathea which they do still profess and in a good degree keep to though there be many who differ in Opinion Their Religion at the present is called Independency because they give liberty of Conscience but the Government Presbyterial From hence is not only sent Woollen-Cloth as was said before but Stuffs Saffron Licorish Tin Lead Wheat Barley and good Beer as the Dutchmen know full well Herein are also many Rivers sweet Springs excellent Fountains healthful Baths populous Cities commodious Havens and in a word there is hardly any Countrey in the Universe all things considered on which God hath bestowed larger bounties IRELAND is on all sides environed with the Sea and is a most fruitful and pleasant Countrey the Air temperate being warmer in Winter and cooler in Summer then in England The Soil is fitter for Pasture then Tillage Herein are many Rivers and Lakes which are abundantly stored with Fish as also Fowl in good plenty and great store of

Cattle but the breed is lesse then in England except Grayhounds The People I mean the Irish are strong nimble haughty greedy of glory patient in Cold and Hunger careless of their lives and leight of belief much addicted to Customs one whereof is That they kneel down to the Moon desiring her to leave them in as good health as she found them One of the many Rarities I will recite is 3 Lakes in the Country of Meath not far a sunder and have an intercourse of Waters but of so different natures that the Fish which are proper to the one will not live in the other Their Government is by one supreme Magistrate called the Lord Deputy the profit of the Custom is said to amount to 30000 li. yearly From hence are sent Rugs Mantles Honey Herrings c.

scarcity of Water it is unfit for Pasture Yet in some places it is as fruitful as any part of Europe Their Religion for a long time hath been that of Rome for such is the cruelty of their persecuting Inquisition that some that are Papists withstand it to the death They are by some reckoned for good Souldiers not for their valour but because they are able to endure hardship Their Commodities are

But he for want of meanes sold it to the French Norumbega the soil is fruitful and the Air of an indifferent temper the men are given much to Hunting and the women love their Husbands well for until the death of their Husbands be revenged if at any time they be killed they will neither eat flesh nor marry New-England now come we to have the Countries better distinguished that they may be discerned in the Map for thereunto we refer you hath on the South-West New-Netherland on the North-East Norumbega The rest either borders on the Sea or is not well discovered The Air is much like to that of England and the soil fruitful in the Natural Commodities as also in those that were carried from England It affords great store of Wood Deer Fruit Swans Ducks Geese Partridge Pidgeons and the like But the chief Commodities are Amber rich Furs Iron Pitch c.

Iron all of them mixt with Lead good plenty of Beasts and Birds both tame and wild also Fish and Bees without flings breed here in abundance But there is a kind of Fly or Gnat which doth offend the Inhabitants Herein also is a Tree which is planted and drest as a Vine which is reported to have 40 several sorts or kinds of Leaves fit for divers uses for they make of them Mantles Shooes Paper and many other things From the top comes a juice like Sirrup which if purified becomes Sugar if boyled Honey And there is a Mountain called Propocampeth in the Province of Mexico which sends out streams of fire like Mount Aetna in Sicilia and another in the Province of Guatimalia which casteth forth two streams of fire the one of black Pitch and the other of red Guatimalia is bounded on the South with Castella del Oro or Golden Castle on the North-West with New-Spain and the rest with the Sea as appeares in the Map It is divided into these six Provinces 1. Guatimalia specially so called is mountainous but wanteth not Rivers by reason whereof it hath not onely good plenty of Fish but much good Pasture well stored with Cattle nor is it barren in Maize Wheat and other Provision plenty of Cotton-Wooll many Apothecaries Drugs some Balsoms and good Sulphure 2. Hundura is full of Hills and Valleys fruitful in Maize and Wheat but not much Campaign very rich in Pastures by reason of the overflowing of their Rivers The people are so idle that they had rather feed on Roots then labour to till the ground 3 Chiapa is not very fit for most kind of Fruits nor Corn the Trees are bigger then in other places as Cypress Cedars Pines and Oaks and whole Woods of Walnuts but they not so big as in Europe The Countrey is full of venomous Creatures of which the Snakes are none of the least for offence nor greatness some of them being reported to be twenty foot in length Many of their Trees do not onely afford Rozen and some pretious Gums but also some whose leaves being dryed to a Powder make a good Plaister for exulcerating Sores There is likewise a Spring in the Cantred of Tafixa which in Winter is dry and in Summer full of water 4. Verapaz is full of Hills and Vallies most overgrown with thick and large Woods which so hinder the Wind that they have Rain for near nine moneths in the year by reason whereof their Fruits are much annoyed with a kind of Gnats but they have good store of Fish and some of the Trees drop Amber some Mastick and others Gums They have also many Medicinal Woods 5 Veragua is neither fit for Pasture nor Tillage because both barren and mountainous yet yieldeth Maize and Hearbs but the want of other necessaries is supplyed with Aurum Potabile Silver and such never fading Mines of Gold that the Spaniards think themselves able to cure all Diseases and supply all wants 6 Incargua is well stored with Cattle and Trees though little Corn and but few Rivers the want whereof is supplyed by a great Lake called Nicaragua which ebbs and flowes as the Sea wherein are good store of Fish and many Crocodiles it is said to have as many Parrots as England hath Crows also plenty of Sugar-canes and Cotton-Wooll Castella del oro or Golden Castle is bounded on the East with the Gulf of Venezala and some part of Paria on the West with some part of Guatimalia and Mare Del Zur on the South with New-Granada and on the North with Mare Del Nort It is divided into these five parts 1 New-Andalusia is mountainous and full of Woods wherein are good store of Gums Rozen and some kind of Balsoms The soil is very moyst through the abundance of Rain which falls thereon so as few of our European Fruits come to good 2 Martha is so mountainous and barren that it is not fit for Pasture or Tillage yet doth it produce Pomgranates Lemmons and other Fruits that are brought out of Spain The Air on the Sea-coast is sealding hot but in the midland parts cold because some Mountains are alwayes covered with Snow some of which the Marriners discern 30 Leagues at Sea and by reason of these Hills the Inhabitants do pretty well preserve their liberty in despight of the Spaniards 3 Panama lyeth in the narrowest part of the Isthmus or Straights which joyn both the Peninsulaes together The Air hereof is very hot and foggy but especially from May to November and therefore not healthful The soil is either mountainous and barren or low and miry unfit for grain so as it yields nothing but Maize and but little of that but it is better for Pasture 4 Darien the Air is good and the soil so fruitful in the increase of Melons and other Fruits that they are ripe within 20 dayes after they are sown and here are Fowl and Beasts in great plenty the like not heard of in o●her parts 5 De la Hatha hath very good Salt divers Mines of Gold some gems of much value And the Soil is fruitful in such Plants as are brought from Spain Paria is bounded on the East with Guiana on the West with the Gulf of Venezala on the South it is not discovered and on the North it hath Mare Del Nort It is divided into these two parts 1. Cumana so far as it is discovered is neither pleasant nor rich covered with Bushes and Briers but is in esteem for an excellent Salt that is found near the Bay of Carico in great abundance The people are treacherous high-minded and revengeful accustomed to use poysoned Arrows which they venome with Snakes bloud and other mixtures They have many Wives which they prostitute to the Piacos or Priest for the first nights lodging They also put strange colours on their bodies instead of garments and like black Teeth so well that they take great pains to make them so And are singular from others not onely in fencing their Ground or Orchard with a Cotton-thread as high as the middle with an Opinion that whosoever goes under over or breaks it shall die immediately but also in feeding on Spiders Horse-Leeches Worms Grashoppers and the like 2. Venezala is so plentiful of Grain Cattle and Fruits that it doth not only supply themselves but spareth the Neighbouring Nations such store of wheat Meal Swines flesh Fish Oxen Hides and Cotton-Cloth that it is called a Granary The Women are trained up to leap ride run and swim as we●l as the men and do not onely look to the hou●e but till the Land whilest the men fish and hunt Guiana is bounded on the East with some part of the Atlantick Ocean and Brasile on the West with part of Par●a and some undiscovered Countries which lye b●tween it and ●eru on the South with a good part of the River Amazons and on the North with some part of the River Oronoque and Mare Del Nort or the Atlantick Ocean The
