Of Thile iusula. chap. 163.

THile is the last Iland of Occean be∣twéene the North countrey & South, sixe daies sailing beyond Britaine: and hath the name of the Sun, for there the Sunne stinteth in Summer, when the dayes begin to shorten. And no daye is there beyond. Therfore the sea thereof is slowly froze, as Isidore saith, lib. 14. And Plinius sayth, that y^e place is vninhabita∣ble: for in Summer nothing may there grow for great burning heat, nor in win∣ter for freesing colde. For from the euen∣nesse of the day & night in March, when the Sunne is in Ariese, vnto euennesse of the day and night in Haruest, when the Sunne is in Libra, the Sunne for∣saketh not that Ilande: And from that time to the euennesse of the day & night, againe in March, the sunne commeth not there: and so there halfe the yeare is day, and halfe night, as he saith in cap. de in∣sulis. lib. 14. & de solstitijs, li. 2. Also Be∣da saith the same, li. de naturis rerum, and Solinus also.

(* 1.1Thyle, the Ile called Island, the old Cosmographers supposed there the ende of all earthlye soile: of late yeres found otherwise.)
