CHAP. XXXIX. Of the Assores, commonly
Tercera Islands.
* 1.1THE Tercera Islands were first discovered by the Flemmings, and a while bare their names; upon which is placed the Meridian Line, dividing the East from the West part of the World; it only aboundeth in Oad or
Woad used by Dyers, and is now in the hands of the
Spaniards, and in special use to them in their Voyage to the
East or West-Indies, and afford∣ing them for refreshment good Water, and store of Goats flesh. Other matter of Trade it af∣fordeth not; therefore this shall serve to have said of the Islands, willingly omitting the
Hespe∣rides, the Gorgades, the Princes Islands, and others of lesser moment, and proceed in my MAP to view the
Trade of ASIA, somewhat better known to us than
