emission of its strength and Magnetical vigor from the more eminent and Gibbous or Knobby parts thereof for the Needle naturally endeavours to conform unto the Meridian but being distracted is driven and distorted that way where the greater and more powerful parts of the Earth are situated Now whereas on this side the Meridian or the Isles of Azores where the first Meridian is placed the Needle varies Eastward it may be occasion'd by that vast Track of Earth that is of Europe Asia and Africa seated towards the East and disposing the Needle that way on the other side some parts of the Azores or Islands of Saint Michael which have a middle situation between these Continents and that vast Tract of America almost proportionate and answerable to these in its spatious Bulk and Dimension it seems equally distracted by both and diverting unto neither doth parallel and place it self upon the true Meridian But sayling farther it veers its Lilly towards the West and regards that Quarter wherein the Land is nearer or greater and in the same Latitude as it approaches its Shore augments its variation Now because where the greater Continents are United and Combin'd the action and efflux of Magneticall Atoms is also greater therefore those Needles do suffer the greatest variation which are in Countries which do most feel that Magnetique Impression And therefore hath Rome far less variation then London For on the West-side of Rome are seated the great Continents of France Spain and Germany which seem to retrench the exuberant effluvium's and poise the vigour of the Eastern parts But unto England there is almost no Earth West for the whole extent of Asia and Europe lyeth Eastward and therefore at London it varies eleven Degrees that is almost one Rhomb Thus also by reason of the great Continent of Brasile Peru and Chili the Needle declines towards the Land twelve Degrees But at the Straights of Magellan where the Land is contracted into a narrow Volume and the Sea on the other side of a vast diffusion and extent it varies but five or six And so likewise because the Cape de las Agullas hath Sea on both sides near it and other Land remote and as it were of an equal distance from it therefore at that point the Needle conforms unto the true Meridian being not distracted with the attraction resulting from the Vicinity of an adjacent Continent To this may be added that this variation proceedeth not onely from some eminent terrestrial knobs or excrescencies which appear like so many wens upon the Face of the World as also many Magnetical Veins of the Earth collaterally respecting the Needle but the different Accumulation of the Earth disposed unto the Poles lying under the Sea and Waters which affect the Needle with greater or lesser variation according to the vigour or impotency of these subterraneous Lines or the intire or broken Body of the Magnetical Fabrick under it As it is observable from several Loadstones plac'd at the bottome of any Water for a Loadstone or Needle upon the surface will variously conform it self according to the vigour or imbecillity of the Loadstones under it Lastly from what hath been premis'd a Reason may be alledged for the Variation of the Variation and why according to observation the variation of the Needle hath after some years been found to vary either more where it was discover'd to vary but little before or but little where formerly it had a greater deflection or variation For this may proceed from the Mutation of the Earth as it is dislocated or supplanted by Earthquakes wasted and empair'd by sulphurous or other subterraneous fires or else as its Magnetique virtue is arrested in its emanation by being astonish'd and stupefied by Mineral Spirits or those Fumes and Exhalations that have any Mercurial or Arsenical Atoms implanted in them all which by a reiterated impression may so alter the constitution of the Magnetical parts of the Earth either by Substraction or Addition that in decursion of time they may vary the Variation over the place Having thus discover'd those to whom not onely Ships but likewise the Art of managing them did entitle its original invention I shall adde something by way of supplement touching the derivation of the Name of that eminent Officer to whom both in elderand more modern Times the care of publick Navies hath been committed vulgarly stil'd the Admiral and if we shall disjoynt or dissect the Name we shall find it confess it self to be both of Arabian and Greek Extraction for Emir or Amir in Arabian imports as much as Lord and 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 in Greek is of the Sea so that both these words being cimented together into the Appellation of Admiral signifie a Lord of the Sea Now the word Emir or Amir for they are co-incident was a denomination anciently us'd by the Arabian Caliphs as a terme of dignity and eminence so many of them had the additional appellation of Amir Elmumunin and Emir Omimelin the first may be render'd Rex Orthodoxorum or the King of Persons Orthodox and the last may be translated Rex Credentium Prince or King of Believers and at this day he that in Turkie by the Command and Designation of the Grand Signior delivers the Banners to the Sanzacks and Beglerbegs by which they receive their Investiture is stil'd Emir Halem Lord of the Banner or if you will receive it in a more pompous Epithite the Turks chief Standard-Bearer and this accords with what Leunclavius delivers in his Turkish Pandects Emir Halem says he significat Dominum Vexillorum Flammeolorum qui scilicet supremus est sultani Vexillifer ac omnibus Beglerbegis ac Sauzacbegis quum creantur vexilla sua porrigit And hence we read in the History of the Holy War that Robert Duke of Normandy slew an eminent Saracenical Amir whose Standard had in summitate Argenteae Hastae Pomum Aureum which he offer'd at the Sepulchre of our Saviour having purchas'd it at 20. Marks of one who had taken it by Right of War Now this word Amir or Emir is deduc'd from the Arabick Verbe Amara which render'd into Latine is Dixit or Edixit or else extracted from the Hebrew Verbe Amar which melted into Latine signifies praecepit seu imperavit and it is possible the Spanish word Almirante is contracted from El Amirante and that again by Moorish and Arabick Chanels from Alamir which imports as much as the Chief Captain Now although vulgar use and custome by apposition of this word 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 have restrain'd this great Officer only to the Command of the Sea yet in Times of an elder aspect it was of a more confused or promiscuous signification and was not alone confin'd to Maritime Authority but was likewise attributed to those eminent Saracenical Souldiers and Governours who were engag'd in a Command by Land which was proportionate and answerab●e in its Latitude and Extent to that which was exercis'd by the ancient
