THE Lighting Colomne OR SEA-MIRROUR Containing The Sea-Coasts of the Northern Eastern and Western Navigation setting forth in divers necessarie Sea-Cards all the Ports Rivers Bayes Roads Depths and Sands very curiously placed on its due Polus-heighth furnished with the discoveries of the chief Countries and on what cours and distance they lay one from another Never heretofore so clearly laid open and here and there very diligently bettered and augmented for the use of all Sea-men As also The Situation of the Northernly Countries as Island the Strate Davids the Isle of Ian-Mayen Bear-Island Old-Greenland Spitsbergen and Nova Zembla adorned with many Sea-cards and Discoveries Gathered out of the experience and practice of divers Pilots and Lovers of the famous Art of Navigation By JAN VAN LOON VVhereunto is added a brief Instruction of the Art of Navigation together vvith nevv Tables of the Suns Declination also an Almanack extending untill the yeare 1661. At AMSTERDAM Printed by JOHN JOHNSON Bookseller dwelling upon the Water in the Passe-card 1654. A SH RT Instruction in the Art of Navigation THe art of Navigation is a Science by which through certaine rules you may steere a Shipp over the Seas from one place to another and is not improperly devided into two parts to witt into ordinary and extraordinary Navigation The ordinary Navigation useth no other Instruments then the Compasse and sounding Plummet as principally consisting in experience and practice in knowledge of Lands and Corners how they are different in Points and distances and are knowne from the Sea in depths shoales qualityes of grounds the running and falling of Streames upon what point the Moone maketh high water in every severall place such like which in part are learned from the information of experienced Pilots but most out of our owne experience Extraordinary Navigation useth besides the foresayd ordinary practise divers other private Instruments and rules which must bee taken out of Astronomy and Cosmography It is therefore needfull that every Pilot who will use and practise th●s extraordinary Navigation must first of all bee well instructed in the principales of the same Arts that is that hee know and understand the proportions and devisions of the Spheare of the World the motions of the Heavens especially the eighth fourth and first together with the Fabrique of the Instruments without which knowledge its impossible to accomplish happily greate and never before sought out Voyages over the Vast Seas And seeing that such knowledge may bee attained out of good Instruction wee have here set downe in this Tractate for the benefit of young seamen who are desiruns to bee Pilots as cleare and plaine rules as the shortnesse hereof could suffer The first Point Of the Sphere and the divers motions thereof A Spheare properly is called a Ball wholly entire and round whose superficies and outside is ever● where alike distant from its center By that World Sphoera Mundi or Spheare of the World wee understand commonly the whole Ball of the Heavens with all that is therein contained and it is devided into two parts Elementary Coelestiall the Elementary part hath againe 4 parts the first is the earth which with the water as the second maketh a compleate Ball upon which wee dwell The third is the Aire encompassing the earth and the fourth is the fire which according to the opinion of Philosophers containeth the space which is betweene the Aire and the Spheare of the Moone From these Elements which are the beginning of all things which are alwayes subject to changes together with the Warmth of the Heavens arise and perish by a continuall change and alteration of the one into the other all things which wee see and find upon Earth The Celestiall part containing within in its Hollownesse the Elementaryes is pure shining Seperate and voyd of all changes is devided into 8 Speares or round Hollow Balles which are called Heavens whereof the greatest alwayes containeth one the other in manner of a Ball the seaven lowest have but every one one Starre or Plannet whereof the first next the Earth is the Heaven of the Moone the second of Mercury the third of Venus the fourth of the Sonne the fifth of Mars the sixth of Iupiter the seaventh of Saturne and the eigth of all the fixed starrs The number of these Heavens are knowne by their Courses which wee see in them round about the Poles of the Zodiaque The Moone runneth through her Heaven by her own naturall course from West to East in 27 dayes 8 howres Mercury Venus and the Sunne theirs in a yeare Mars his in two yeares Iupiter his in 12 and Saturne in 30 yeares The eighth heaven perfects its owne course according to the affirmation of Tycho Brahe in 25400 yeares These Heavens are turned about all alike in four and twenty houwres on the Poles about the Axes of the World by the ninth Heaven which is called the Primum Mobile that is the first mover by which Motion in our sight is caused Day and Night and the daily rising and falling of the heavenly lights The Second Point Of the Roundnesse of the Earth THat the Earth with the Water together maketh a round Globe appeareth not onely out of experience very clearely but also out part of the Shaddow of Earth in the Eclips of the Moone In whatsoever part of the Heaven the moon is Eclipsed or touched by the Shaddow of the earth that Shaddow seemeth alwayes round If the earth were foure square three corned or of any other forme then the Shaddow of the moone should bee also foure square three cornerd or some other forme For of what proportion any body is such also must bee the Shaddow thereof And seeing therefore that the Shaddow of the earth is alwayes and on al sides round the earth itselfe must alsoo bee necessarilly round That the Heaven is round wee marke from the eye but is most clearely perceived from the Circular motions of the heavenly lights as of the Sonne Moone and Starres The Third Point that the Earth is in the middle of the World THat the earth standeth in the middle of the World may clearely bee understood by what is hereafter spoken for if soo bee that the Globe of the earth stood not in the middle of the World but that the heaven was nearer it on one side it would come to passe that the stars in their daily courses should bee nearer on one side of the earth then on the other and by that meanes should appeare to our sight to bee greater on one side of the earth then on the other likewise if that part of the heaven next to the earth were a boveus we should then see lesse then halfe of the heaven according to instruction of the first Figure and on the contrary when that part of the heaven farthest from us were above us wee should then see more then halfe of the Heaven according to the Instruction of the second Figure But standing upon the flatt side

declination towards the north 28 degrees 51 minutes The clearest in the Foot commeth a quarter of an houre before the great Dogge into the South his declination is 16 degrees and 40 minutes towards the north Canis Minor or the little Dogge called Canicula Procyon This little Dogge Canicula hath 3 starres in this forme the clearest of them commeth 50 min. after the great Dogge into the South his declination is six degrees 7 minutes in the northside of the Line The Water Snake Hydra The Heart or the clearest in the Water-snake commeth after Syrius or the great Dog two houres 40 minutes to the south his declination is in the Southside of the Line 7 degrees and 8 minutes and sheweth it selfe with such little stars as are here noted whereby he is easily knowne The Lyon The Lyon hath foure beautifull stars sit for use sheweth it selfe with other as is here set forth the first and foremost of them is called Regulus or Basiliscus otherwise the Heart of the Lyon which commeth 3 houres and 30 minutes after the great Dogge into the south his declination is 13 gr forty min. in the northside of the line the second called the necke of the Lyon 3 hour 30 min. after the great Dogge into the south and hath his declination from the line 21 gr 37 m. the Back of the Lyon comes into the south 26 min. after the great Dogge his declination is in the Northside of the line 22 gr 28 min. the taile of the Lyon comes 5 houres after the great Dogge into the south his declination 16 gr 33 min. in the Northside of the Line Virgo or the maide That which is in the Wing called Vindemiatrix comes into the South 6 houres 16 min. after the great Dogge her declination is in the Northside of the line 12 degrees 54 minutes The eare of corne or Spica Virginis cometh 6 houres and 36 min. after the great Dogge into the South her declination is 9 degrees 15 minutes in the Southside of the Line Bootes the Waineman Seven houres 30 minutes after the Star called Syrius the clearest Star of Bootes comes into the South standeth between his thighes in this forme with some other Stars and is called Arcturns his declination is in the North-side of the line 21 degrees 5 minutes The Northern Crowne After Bootes followeth the North Crowne bearing fashion of a Circle as followeth of the Mariners it is called the Hospital and when in cleare whether they behold some small Stars in it they call them the sick the greatest and clearest of them comes eight houres 58 minutes after the great Dogge in to the South its declination is in the Northside of the Line 27 degrees 57 minutes The Waights Libra The ballance or Waights follow the signe of Virgo as followeth The North Ballance comes 8 houres 48 minutes after Syrius to the South the declination thereof is 8 degrees 58 minutes in the Southside of the Line The Scorpion Scorpio Then followeth the Scorpion as this figure sheweth the heart of Scorpion Antores commonly called comes 9 houres 38 minutes after Syrius into the South his declination is 25 degrees 33 minutes in the South side of the Line The Snakebearer and Hercules The head of the Snakebearer comes 10 houres 48 minutes after Syrius to the South his declination 12 degrees 52 minutes in the Northside of the Line The head of Hercules standeth by the head of Serpentarius and comes 20 minutes before it into the South and hath his Declination Northward 14 degrees 51 minutes Lyra. Then followes Lyra in this manner the greatest with two little ons by it which the Mariners call the three Castles the lightest and clearest Starre come 11 houres 55 minutes after the great Dogge into the South the declination thereof is 38 degrees 30 minutes on the Northside of the Line The Eagle Sheweth him self as this figure declareth the clearest of these that is to say the middlemost of the three comes 13 houres after the great Dogge or 11 houres before into the South the declination thereof is 8 degrees on the Northside of the Line The Swanne The Swanne is shaped thus the starre that is the most North in the brest cometh 13 houres 40 minutes or after 10 hour 20 minutes into the South before the great Dogge and hath his declination in the Northside of the Line 39 degrees 9 minutes That which stands most to the South of the two in the brest is a new starre and hath shewed it self first in the yeer 1600 the North wing comes 10 houres 4 minutes after the Dogge into the South the Northern declination thereof is 44 degrees 15 minutes The S. Wing comes 14 houres after the great Dogge into the South the declination of it is 32 gr and thirtie minut in the Northside of the line The lightest and clearest of the Swanne which is placed in the taile of it comes 14 houres after the great Dogge or 10 houres before into the South the declination of it is 44 degrees 3 minutes in the Northside of the Line Capicorne The most Southerly and clearest of the two lightest in the houre of Capricorne as is here to bee seen cometh 13 houres 30 minutes after the great Dogge into the South the declination is 15 degrees 50 minutes in the Northside of the Line The Flying Horse The Flying Horse Pegasus we may see in the heavens in this proportion the Starre in the mouth comes 14 houres 56 minutes after or 9 houres 4 minutes before the great Dogge into the South his declination is 8 degrees 15 minutes The Northside of the line That which standeth on the right hippe or right legge called the Schaet the same comes 16 houres 16 minutes after the great Dogge or 7 houres 44 minutes before it into the South the declination of it is 26 degrees 9 minutes in the Northside of the Line at the same time comes the first and foremost into the South placed in the Wing which is called Marcab The declination of it is 13 degrees 18 minutes on the Northside of the Line The last and utmost in the Wing of Pegasus comes 16 houres 44 minutes after the great Dogge or 7 houres 16 minutes before it into the South the declination of it is 12 degrees 3 minutes in the Northside of the Line The Head of Andromeda making with some Starres of Pegasus a great quadrangle whereby it is easily known comes after the great Dogge into the South 17 houres 24 minutes or 6 houres 36 minutes before it the declination is 27 degrees 39 minutes North from the Line The Starre named Fomahant is placed a good space in the Southside of the Flying horse in the uttermost part of the flood running from Aquarius it is a great and cleare Starre and comes 16 houres 16 minutes after Syrius or 7 houres 44 minutes before it into the South the declination thereof is 31 degrees 26 minutes in the Southside of the Line Cetus or the Whalfish After these

of the Globe wee see the Starres as well on the one side as on the other in whatsoever part of the Heaven that it is alwayes of one greatenesse and it is found by experience that wee alwayes see the one half of the Heaven and the other halfe is hidden from our eyes from thence it appeares plainly according to the expression in the third Figure That the earth stands in the middle of the World From thence is likewise to bee marked that the Globe of the earth is no more to bee likened by the Heavens then a point without thicknesse for if the earth had any thicknesse in respect of Heaven wee should standing upon the earth by that reason not see halfe of the Heaven according to Demonstration of the 4 Figure The fourth Point Of the greatnesse of the Earth ALthough the Globe of the Earth as is sayd in respect of the extraordinary widenesse of the Heaven is no more then a point neverthelesse in respect of its selfe it is a greate body having in its Compasse 5400 dutch Miles And that is knowne by this meanes If you devide the whole Circkle of the Compasse of the earth into 360 parts or degrees and wee find as well by Navigation as by measuring of Land that such a Degree or part containeth fifteene such Dutch Miles 360 such part beeing multiplyed by fifteene make out 5400 Duth miles The fifth Point Of the Axis and Poles or Axepoints of the World IN the Globe of the World is imagined to bee a Line going from one Point on the side of the Spheare as a Diameter through the Center to another Point right against it on the other side That Line is called the Axis and the outermost-ends thereof or the foresayd Points the Poles or Axepoints of the World the one towards the North and is called the Northerne Pole and the other towards the South called the Southerne Pole Upon whichs Poles it is imagined that the Spheare is upon its Axeltree daily turned The Demonstrastion THE Line A.G.B. in this Figure going from the Point A through the Center G as a Diameter to the Point B right against it sheweth the Axel of the World and the Points A and B the Poles A to the North the Northerne and B to the South the Southerne Poles The Sixth Point Of the Aequinoctiall Line IN the middest of the Heavens every where equally distant from both the Poles is imagined a greate Circle dividing the whole Spheare into two equall parts which is called the Aequinoctial because when the Sonne commeth to or under that Cirkle which commeth to passe the 21 of March and the 23 of September the day and night are in all places of the Earth of an equall length The knowledge of this Cirkle is proffitable above all things in Navigation to know thereby how farr wee goe either to the Northwards or Southwards upon Earth thereby also is reckoned the time and hower of the day the Declination of the Sonn and Starrs and more other proffitable things Demonstration IN the foregoing Figure A and B the Poles of the World C D E F is the Equinoctiall Line in the middest of the Heaven equally distant from both the Poles A and B dividing the whole Spheare A C B E into two equall parts as C A E the Northerne and C B E the Southerne part from hence is to bee noted Seeing that the whole Compasse of the Heavens is divided into 360 degrees that the Poles stand from one another 180 degrees and betweene the Poles and the Aequinoctiall remaineth every where on both sides 90 degrees This Line is marked in the Sea-cards with a red Line from east to west through the beginning of the degrees according as they are reckoned as well towards the North as to the South The Seventh Point Of the Ecliptique Line THE Ecliptique Line lyeth awry over the Equinoctiall deviding it in two points right over against one another in two equall parts and is also devided by it in two equall parts the one lyeth betweene the Equinoctiall and the North Pole the other betweene the Equinoctiall and the South Pole It s greatest Declination on both sides of the Equinoctaill towards both the Poles is 23 degree 31½ minutes and is devided into twelve equall parts and to each of them a severall signe applyed The Sonne goeth alongst this Circkle without ever going out of it and runneth through it with its owne naturall course every yeare once and even as the Poles of the World stand every where alike distant from the Equinoctiall even soo hath the Ecliptique alsoo its two Poles every were alike distant from the same Demonstration IN this Figure as before is sayd A B are the Poles of the World C D E F the Equinoctiall G D H F the Ecliptique Line cutting and dividing the Equinoctiall and its selfe alsoo into two equall parts in the points D and F which wee call the Equinoctiall the one at D the Spring Equinoctiall the other at F the Autumne Equinoctiall The one halfe D H F the northern part lyeth betweene the Equinoctiall D E F and A the North Pole at most declined towards F H 23 degrees and 31 2 minutes The other halfe F G D the Southern part lyeth betweene the Equinoctiall F C D and the South Pole B likewise at most declined as C G 23 degrees 31½ minutes The North part is devided into six signes which wee call the Northerly beginning at D with the Kimbug signes towards the North. Aries Taurus Gemini unto H. the point of the farthest declination From thence with the descending signes of the North Cancer Leo Virgo to the Equinoctiall Line in F. the Autumne Equinoctiall the southern part is also divided into six signes which wee call the Southerly beginning at F with the discending signes towards the South Libra Virgo Saggitarius untill G the Point of the sartkest Declination towards the South from thence further with klimbing signes towards the North Capricornus Aquarius Pisces as farr as till you come to the Equinoctiall line in the Spring Equinoctiall D. The Sunne runneth through the three first Northerly signes from the 21 of March new style to the 21 of June New styl the other from the 21 of Iune to the 23 of September The first 3 Southerly signes from the 23 of September to the 23 of December and the other from the 23 December till the 21 of March againe The Poles of the Ecliptique are M and N both of them standing every where alike distant from the Ecliptique G H and soo farre from the Poles of the World A and B as the Ecliptique is farthest declining from the Equinoctiall at H E and C G. The eighth Point Of the Coluri THe Coluri are two Circkles going Croswayes through both the Poles of the World dividing each other into two parts in the Poles and together with them the whole Globe Equinoctiall Zodiack or Ecliptique and all the Paralels in 4 equall parts the

I find in the table of the yeere 1645. 16. gr 33 min. and for the yeere 1655. 16. degrees 30 min. the min. having as much taken from them as the yeeres I finde 16 gr 31 min. and a halfe lessening declination II. Example I desire to know the declination of Aldebaran the eye of the Bull in the yeere 1650. I finde in the yeere 1645 15 gr 48 min. and for the yeere 1655 15 degr 50 minut the minut having as much taken from them in proportion as the yeeres I finde 15 gr 49. min. increaseing declination The 15. Chapter how you may easily learne to know the fixed Starres and at what time every one of them commeth to the South HOw needfull and profitable it is for a Sea-faring man to have knowledge of the fixed starres and their use especially in strange voyages and farre Navigations that is more then well known to all experienced and understanding Steerman moreover because wee have described in the foregoing chapter the declination of the fixed stares and their distance from the Pole wee shall here shew you a way and fitting meanes how you shall easily learne to know them and that perfectly at all times when as every one of them come in the south or at their height and are fitting to be used First you must know that the way of the Sonn in the heaven is immoveable with the fixed Starres with the which it is every day once turned about from east to west without change but onely that the Sonne doth contrary wise run this foresayd yearely course from west to east Whereby hee in his daily course commeth so farr behind that hee in a whole yeare goeth one course lesse then the fixed Starres and that the fixed Starres turne once more about in a yeare then the Sunn so that they every day come 4 min. sooner to the division that commeth every weeke to about halfe an houre every month 2 houres which that it may the better bee understood wee will make it evident by an example taken from the starre called Syrius or Canis Major the great dogge which alwayes followeth a little after the Image of the Gyant Orion and his Girdle which is called the three Kings which appeare a little over the great Dogge it is the greatest and clearest of all the fixed Starres which for the most part is knowne unto all Sea-faring men his declination is Southward from the Line 16 degrees and 13 minutes And it is south upon the 24 of Ianuary new stile at ten of the clock at night The 23 of Februaty at 8 of the clock at night The 28 of March as six of the clock at night The 30 of April at foure of the clock in the evening The 30 of May at two of the clock afternoone The 28 of Iune at 12 of the clock at noone even with the Sun The 28 of Iuly at ten of the clocke before noone The 29 of August at eight of the clocke before noone The 1 of October at six of the clock in the morning The 12 of November at foure of the clock in the morning The 1 of December at two of the clock in the morning The 28 of December at 12 of the clock at night Whereby every man may easily reckon at what houre and time this Starre is south every day in the yeare as well in the day time when you cannot see it as in the night when wee may see it And if you desire to know the like touching all the rest of the fixed Starres upon every day in the yeare then marke what was said before upon what houre of the day before set downe the great Dogge commeth into the South and by the Tables hereafter following touching the declination of the Stars marke how long time the Starte you seeke for commeth into the South before or after the great Dogge by that meanes you shall finde the just and perfect time that you desire The 16 Point The Table of the declination of the fixed Stars and also an Instruction of the time in which each of them commeth into the south also how you shall know them The Twinnes The south and lowest head therof commeth 54 minutes after the great Dogge into the south and hath his
