Are foure strand-Roapes, hawser-Laide, which is in respect, that this kind of laying doth not stretch so much as three-shrowd-Roapes, and besides, run smoother in the hounds. These are the Roapes by which the yards doe hang, and doe carry-up the yards when the Hil∣liards are strained to hoyse the yards: The maine-yard and fore-yard-ties, are first reeved through the Ram-head, then through the hounds at the head of the Mast, and so with a turne in the Eies of the sling which are made fast to the yard, they are seased fast, and close to the yard: the Missen-yard, and top-Mast-yard, have but single ties: that is, one doth runne in one part, the sprit-saile yard hath none, for it is made fast with a paire of slings to the bolt-spritt.
