PRAEFACE.

BEcause the Art of Navigation consists aswell in the knowledge of Astronomical and Geographical Problemes, as in Problemes meerly Nautical; Therefore I must desire the Artist to seek in the last Book such Problemes as are only Astronomical or Geographi∣cal. For my Designe is here to collect such Problemes as are only used in the Art of Navigation, some few particulars ex∣cepted, as for finding Latitude, Longitude, Course; Di∣stance, &c. Which though they are handled in than Book, yet for their exceeding Vtility in the Art of Navigation, and for that what there is given, cannot alwayes be had to work by; therefore in this Book I have mentioned divers other Observations, which being made or had, you may by the Rules proper for each Observation find what shall be pro∣posed.
