We say a ship Drives, when we let fall the Anchor, and it will not hold the ship fast, but that she falls away with the tide or wind; for which we have no help, but to veere more cabell, for you must note, that the more Cabell is out, the faster and surer the ship will ride, or else to let-fall more Anchors: Also, when a ship is a-hall or a-trie, we say, she drives to Lee-ward, or drives in with the shore, and the like, according to the way she makes.
