The Doorloy.
For to sayle from Flushing out at the Doorloy with ships that draw much Water, you must set sayle when the Water is flowed an houre or two, for to come with halfe flood, or against the highest Water to the shoales, goe from Flushing first alongst by the shore, and then westnorthwest, untill that West-cappell come within two shippes length to the poynt of the Sand-hill, to wit, that West-cappel stand soo much within the west poynt of the Sand-hils, bring that alsoo not further out, not neerer to the poynt of the Sand-hills, for els you should sayle upon the Raen. When that West-cappell standeth soo, and S. Anne (a flat Steeple in Flanders to the westwards of Sluce) stand∣eth amongst the east Sand-hils of Casand, then goe northwest and by west out at the Doorloy. When that S. Anne commeth then to the westwards of that fore∣sayd Sand-hill, then commeth the castle of Sluce, un∣der or behinde that sand-hill, keepe that under, or right to the east side of the foresayd sand-hils, & then goe out northwest and by west, and you shall goe cleare of the Raen and the Rasses. If you bring West-cappell without the sand-hills before that Saint Anne come without the foresayd sand-hills of Casand, then you shall be to farre to the northwards, and to neer the Rasses. Or if you bring Sint Anne without the sand-hills of Casand, before West-cappell come to the end of the sand-hills, then you shall be to farre to the southwards, & shall come against the Raen, but when you bring West-cappell to the poynt of the sand-hill, & S. Annes without the sand-hills of Casant one as soone as the other, then you are amid the channell of the Doorloy right in the fareway.
