Geographie delineated forth in two bookes Containing the sphericall and topicall parts thereof, by Nathanael Carpenter, Fellow of Exceter Colledge in Oxford.

2 If two places in latitude only distant, be situate in diuerse kindes of latitude, adde the latitude of the one to the other, and the whole summe shall be the distance.

As for example, in the former Diagram, imagining as in the former case BD to be the Meridian of those distant places, and AC the Equatour, we will suppose the one place to bee situate towards the North Pole, as G, the other towards the South, as in H: then as appeares by sense, will the distance bee the Arch of the Meridian GH, whereof GE, and EH, are parts, whereof it is compounded: wherefore it must needs follow that those parts added together make the whole distance: for example we will take Bellograde in Europe, and the Cape of good hope in Afri∣ca, which haue neere the same longitude, to wit, 48 degrees 30

minutes: but they differ in latitude in such sort, as the former hath of the Northerne latitude 44 degrees 30 Minutes; the o∣ther of Southerne latitude about 35 degrees 30 minutes. These two numbers added together, will make 80 degrees, which be∣ing multiplied by 60 will produce 4800 miles the distance of those places.
