Example.
There is a sea coast hauing sundry harboroughes, townes, villages, castels and suche like situate thereon, whose platte in due proportion I require, with the exact distances of euery place from other, hauing therefore elected a loftie seate, from whence I may beholde all these places, (mine instrument situate as is declared) remouing the index to the fardest being a Castell standing in the mouthe of an Hauen, hauing receiued it throughe my sightes, the line fiduciall of mine Index, cutteth 30 Grades, thence remouing it to the next, being a village or fisher towne, the Index cutteth 50 degrees, againe at the next being a Citie, it cutteth 75 grades at the fourth being a great Baye I note bothe the entrances, at the Esterne side of the Baye it cutteth 75 Degrees, at the Westerne 100 Degrees, finally at the far∣dest place Westward, being a fort within the land, the Index doth cut 130 grades. Thus haue I the Table of my first station, as foloweth.
- The Castle
- 30 Degrées
- The Uillage,
- 50 Degrées
- The Citye,
- 75 Degrées
- The Esterne head of the Baye,
- 95 Grades
- The Westerne head of the Baye,
- 97 ½ Grades
- The Fort within the lande.
- 130 Grades
This done, I beholde an other highe Hill, from whence I may in like manner view all these places, & turning my Index therunto, I find the line Fiduciall lying vpon 180 degrées. Then carying my instrument thither, &
