subsistance so wonderful as may well express that unlimited Power which performs things infinitely beyond what we can imagine It is a Sperical Body which together with the Water make up one Globe of so perfect and exact a form and so beautified and adorned by the God of Nature that from the eligancy and beauty thereof it was called by the Greeks 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 and by the Latines Mundus It is in Circuit 21600 Miles allowing 60 to a Degree its Diameter 6872 Miles its Superficies in Square Miles 148510584 and its Sollid Content just 169921796242 Cubical Miles The Earth may admit of a fourfold Division Viz. 1. It 's Imaginary Parts 2. It s Real Parts 3. In respect of its Inhabitants And 4. It s National Parts 1. Imaginary Parts The Imaginary Parts are only supposed for the better understanding of this Science divided into 1. Poles 2. Circles 3. Zones and 4. Climes 1. The Poles are the extreme points of the Axis which is supposed to pass through the Centre of the Earth and on which it is supposed to move daily about They are the furthest distant from the Aequator in number two viz. the Artick or North Pole and the Antartick or South Pole 2. The Circles are divided into the Greater and Lesser the Greater divide the World into two equal parts in number four Viz. 1. The Aequator compassing the Earth equally between and furthest from the Poles when the Sun is here the days and nights are equal 2. The Zodiack in which is the Ecliptick cutting the Aequator obliquely through which the Sun passes in a Year These two are Immoveable 3. The Horizon dividing the Visible parts of the Heavens from the Invisible 4. The Meridian dividing the Horizon into two equal parts when the Sun is here it is Noon These two are Moveable The Lesser Circles divide the World into two Unequal Parts they are 1. The Tropicks which terminate the Sun's distance from the Aequator being 23 degr and one half from it when the Sun is in these it is either Winter or Summer They are two viz. of Cancer on the North and of Capricorn on the South side of the Aequator 2. The Polar Circles 66 degr and one half of the Aequator and 23 and one half of the Poles they are called the Artick and Antartick Circles 3. The Parallels which are parallel to the Aequator set in Maps to shew the Latitude as the Meridian Lines are to shew the Longitude of Places Note that Latitude is the distance from the Aequator and Longitude from the first Meridian made commonly to pass through the Canary Islands 3. The Zones are certain spaces of Earth included between two lesser Circles In number five viz. one Torrid Zone which lies between the Tropicks two Temperate Zones between the Tropicks and Polar Circles and two Frigid Zones between the Polar Circles and the Poles 4. A Climate is a space of Earth between two Parallels in which the longest day is increased half an hour As for example In the first Climate the longest Day is 12 Hours and a half in the second Climate 13 Hours in the third Climate 13 hours and a half c. 2. Real Parts The Real Parts of the Earth are such as have a real Existance upon the Superficies of the Earth Didived into 1. Water and 2. Land 1. Water is divided into 1. Ocean called a general Collection or Rendezvous of all Waters giving bounds to the four Regions of the Earth 2. Sea a part of the Ocean incompassed with Earth except and streight such as the Mediterranian and Baltick 3. Streight a part of the Ocean restrained into narrow bounds opening the way to a Sea as those of Magalanica and Gibralier 4. Lake a large space of Water wholly incompassed with Land as Parima and Zaire 5. Creek or Gulf a crooked Shore thrusting forth as it were two Arms to hold the Sea as those of Venice and Lepanto Rivers Brooks Fountains c. are well known 2. Land divided into 1. Continent a vast Tract of Land where many Nations are joyned together as Europe Asia c. 2. Island a space of Land wholly incompassed with Sea as Britain Madagascar Iapan c. 3. Peninsula a space of Land very nigh incompassed with Sea as Malacca Morea c. 4. Isâ—â—mus is that space of Land which joyns a Peninsula to a Continent 5. Promontory or Cape or Mountain shooting it self into the Sea as the Cape of Good Hope Cape Verde c. Mountains Forrests Woods c. are well known 3. Inhabitants The Earth is divided in respect of the Inhabitants into the right hand and left 1. To the Poets the North was counted the right hand and the South the left 2. To Priests the South is the right hand and the North the left 3. To Astronomers the West is the right hand and the East the left And 4. to Geographers the East is the right hand and the West is the left The Inhabitants themselves are divided 1. In respect of their Sight 2. According to their Shadows And 3. according to their Countreys 1. Those according to their Sight are dividid into 1. Antaeci which live under the same Meridian and same Latitude but on different sides of the Aequator 2. Periaeci which live on the same side of the Aequator and same Latitude but on opposite sides of the Globe 3. Antipodes that live diametrically opposite to each other 2. Those according to their Shadows are divided into 1. Amphiscii which live in the Torrid Zone whose shadows tend both ways 2. Perisscii which live in the Frigid Zones whose shadows are on all sides of them 3. Heterosscii living in the Temperate Zones whose shadows tend but one way 3. Those according to their Countreys and Nations they live in shall be spoken of afterwards 4. National Parts The Earth in respect of its Countreys is divided into four great parts viz. 1. Europe 2. Asia 3 Africa and 4. America to which are added 5. Terra Borialis incognita and 6. Terra Australis incognita These are divided into Empires Kingdoms Regions Countreys Nations c. These again subdivided into Provinces Governments Prefectures Circles Circuits Captainships Territories Districts Counties Sangiacks c. The chief Empires are six viz. Turky Russia Persia Tartary India and Abissina to these may be added three others viz. Germany Morocco and Monopotapa Kingdoms and other inferior Provinces shall be more particularly treated of afterwards Countreys are mostly divided according to Princes Dominions but not always so seperated from each other 1. Sometimes by Sea as Germany and Denmark from Sweedland 2. Sometimes by Rivers as Natolia from Turcomania 3. Sometimes by Mountains as France from Spain 4. Sometimes by Walls as China from Tartary And 5. sometimes divided only according to the Towns and Forts of the Princes as France from the Low-Countreys I.
