A BRIEF DECLARATION of Geometricall Measures A Degree of the Heauens is 15 Germane or Dutch miles one minute is one quarter of a Dutch mile so that foure minutes makes a Dutch mile A Dutch mile is foure thousand paces Diuersitie of Miles the Spanish miles be very neer so long as the Dutch A French mile is two thousand paces a Walloon or Italian mile is a thousand paces so that foure Walloon miles make a Dutch mile The word mile is deriued from the Latine word Mille for one thousand paces make a Wallon mile as Gualtherus H. Reuius writeth Of Stades or Furlongs THis word Stadium in Latine in English a Furlong is a measure of ground whereof there be three sorts Italicum Olympicum Pythicum That of Italy contained 625 feet which is 125 paces halfe a quarter of an Italian mile The second sort was of the hill Olympus in Greece where was a game or prise kept by the Princes and Cities of Greece euery fifth yeare in the honour of Hercules who first began it This measure of ground Stadium Olympicum contained 600 feet that is 120 paces The third kind of stade or furlong contained 1000 feet which is 200 paces wherof haply arose the difference of Pliny and Diodorus Siculus in describing Sicily Fifteen Dutch miles make a Degree What a Furlong is and a Degree of the heauens answereth to 480 furlongs vpon earth whereby it is manifest that 32 furlongs is a German or common Dutch mile One minute equalleth eight Furlongs which make an Italian or Wallon mile the fourth part of a Dutch mile Two minutes of the heauens or sixteen furlongs make a Dutch mile Four half of a Dutch mile Three minutes equall 24 stades or Furlongs which make three quarters of a Dutch mile Four minutes equal 32 furlongs that is to say a German or Dutch mile The holy Evangelists S.

Luke saith the Towne Emaus was distant from Ierusalem sixty Furlongs and Saint Iohn saith Bethania was 15 Furlongs distant from Ierusalem Whence it appeareth that Emaus was distant from Ierusalem almost two Dutch miles seuen Wallon miles and a halfe and Bethania almost halfe a Dutch mile which is a mile a half half a quarter Iosephus writeth That Mount Olivet was distant from Ierusalem fiue Furlongs that is a little more than halfe a quarter of a Dutch mile which is half an Italian mile and half a quarter The same Iosephus saith That the circuit of the city of Ierusalem was 33 Furlongs a Dutch mile and halfe a quarter Others say it was foure miles in compasse which beeing vnderstood of Italian or Walloon miles make little or no difference seeing it is but the halfe of a halfe quarter of a Dutch mile Strabo writeth That the city of Babylon was 380 Furlongs in circuit that is twelue Dutch miles The circuit of Samaria was twenty furlongs that is halfe a Dutch and halfe a quarter which is two Italian miles and a halfe How the Romans measured their miles THe Romans measured their miles by paces which they call Passus and that kind of measuring is done after this maner Foure barley cornes laid long-waies one by the other make the bredth of a finger foure fingers broad make the bredth of an hand foure hands broad make the length of a foot which measure is now extant fiue feet make a Geometricall or great pace one hundred twenty fiue such paces are a Furlong eight Furlongs are one thousand paces or Wallon mile two thousand paces are a French mile Ex granis quatuor formabitur vnus Est quater in palmo digitus quater in pede palmus Quinque pedes passum faciunt passus quoque centum Viginti quinque stadium dant Sed milliare Octo dabunt stadia duplicatum sit tibi Leuca Four thousand paces are a Dutch mile I mean a common Dutch mile whereof fifteen are reckoned to a degree of the heauens for the Switfer miles are commonly a quarter of a Dutch mile longer than common Dutch miles But through this book by miles we vnderstand common Dutch miles whereof four thousand paces make a mile Whosoeuer will vnderstand S. Ierom wel de locis Haebraicis must mark whether he reckons by miles or by stones the miles specified by him are Wallon miles whereof four make a Dutch mile as aforesaid the stone whereof he writeth wherby also they did measure and diuide the way are reckoned six to a Dutch mile To the end that all men that haue any little vnderstanding in Geometry and Cosmography may make the Tables and cast them and at their pleasure inlarge or diminish them I haue here for their direction set downe the longitude and latitude of the most principal towns the former number shew the degrees and minutes of the longitude the later numbers declare the degrees and minutes of the latitude   Long.
