in casting how to fynde owt a perfect longitude in sayling , I
considered that al ephemerides which are calculated according to the
latitude of any place have certenty of truth noe wher but in the same
longitude wher the observation was taken , which is a note ether not
heeded or not as I kno by any yet publyshed . (MADOX-E2-P1,92.63)

The evident proof hearof is this . (MADOX-E2-P1,92.64)

suppoze your ephemerides be calculate for the miridian of Compostella
in Galizia which is abowt 44 degrees in latitude , and 14 in longitude
. (MADOX-E2-P1,92.65)

In erecting a figure ryght at noone I fynd the $moon to be just in the
angle of the east , 5 degrees beyond the buls eye . (MADOX-E2-P1,92.66)

Now yf I wold by the same book erect a figure for the same noontyde at
Constantinople , which is of the same elevation , I shall fynd $the
$moon somwhat within the angle of the east and but 3 degrees and mynuts
overpast the buls eye , (MADOX-E2-P1,92.67)

and this <font> in medio motu </font> {COM:symbol_of_the_moon} because
Constantinople being at 59 degrees in longitude , yt fawleth to be 3 a

those 3 howrs $the $moon according to hir mydle motion <P_93> passeth a
degree and a half , and so at noone in Compostella is 5 degrees past
the buls eye . (MADOX-E2-P1,93.68)

Hens may be gathered this instruction : (MADOX-E2-P1,93.69)

1 . (MADOX-E2-P1,93.70)

suppoze yt be fownd by observation that 2 Sept. 1582 the ful moon
rising in the east angle be 3 sygnes and degrees behind the hart of the
scorpion , at the general meridian , which is the beginning of
longitude , and the latitude of or or so furth yt much matereth not .
(MADOX-E2-P1,93.71)

Now yf the same second day of September I trend an unknoen place , and
ther fynd that the $moon rising in the east angle be 3 sygnes and but
17 degrees behind the hart of the scorpion , and in hir midmotion , I
pronownce that I am risen eastward degrees in longitude from the
general meridian , which is my first observation , wherunto applying my
latitude , I fynd the exact poynt of the yerth wher I am ,
(MADOX-E2-P1,93.72)

but yf the moone rising be 3 sygnes and 23 degrees behind the hart of
the scorpion than am I fauln to the west of my general meridian
(MADOX-E2-P1,93.73)

and so am at degrees of longitude , (MADOX-E2-P1,93.74)

and by this proportion judge of al other . (MADOX-E2-P1,93.75)

And this is an observation as I think never publyshed . |

suffered to go a shore when they lye in harboroe , nether that strong
drink shold be suffered in haven towns , (MADOX-E2-P1,105.316)

for thro lyberty on the one syde and temptation on the other syde many
a good wynd and tyde is forsloed , and much disorder both-1 in ship and
town commytted (MADOX-E2-P1,105.317)

discorage the cumpany , he cawled hym into his Cabin before the master
