Roapes.

Generally, all the cordage belonging to a ship, is called by the name of Roape: as we say, a Cabell is a good or bad Roape (accor∣ding as it is) and so a Hawser or the like, but more particularly, only some, which besides their particular appellations, have the generall word Roape added to them: These are an Entring Roape, a Top Roape, a Bolt Roape, a Buoy Roape, a Quest Roape, a Keele Roape, a Bucket Roape, a Rudder Roape, a Preventure Roape, (which is a little Roape seased crosse over the Ties, close at the Ram-head, that if one part of the Ties should breake, the other should not run through the Ram-head to endanger the yard) a brest roape, and is the Roape which latches the Parrell to the Mast.
