Of the world. cap. 1.

THe world wide is departed in thrée, as Isidore saith li. 15. For one part is called Asia, another Europa, the thirde Affrica. These thrée parts of the world were assigned not like much in old time, by mē, for Asia stretcheth out of y^e south by the East vnto the North. And Europa out of the North vnto the West: But Affrica stretcheth out of the West & pas∣seth by y^e South, & Asia conteineth onely one part, y^t is the halfe part of y^e land that men dwell in: & the other two countries contein the other halfe. The great sea cō∣meth out of the Occean, & stretcheth be∣twéene these parts, & departeth thē asun∣der: therfore if thou diuidest the world in two parts, of the East & of the West: In one part is Asia, and in the other is both Affrica & Europa. And so Noes sonnes departed and diuided the world after the floud among them: Sem with his ofspring had Asiam, and Iaphet Europam, Cam Affricam, as the Glose sayth super Ge∣nes. 10. and super Par., 1. Gregory sayeth the same, and Plinius also.
