DIRECTIONS TO KNOW where any Towne you desire to find out lies in the Mapp immediately.

IF you desire to finde out in the Mapp, the Towne of Knockfergus I looke in the Alphabet, and I finde the Towne, and finding the Towne, I see in the Booke, it lies in longitude 16. degrees, and 24. minutes in latitude, 54. degrees, and 36. minutes: bring with one of your fingers a strait line from the degree and minutes of the longi∣tude, and with another of your fingers, a strait line from the degree and minutes of the latitude till these two lines meete in a square, and there you shall see the Towne of Knockfergus: this is a rule for all other

Townes that you desire to know where they lie in the Mapp.

Directions to finde the distance from one Towne to the other in the Mappe.

IF you would know how farre Dublin is from Knockfergus, take a pair of Compas∣ses, and put them to the Scale of Miles at the foot of the Mapp, extend them as long as the Scale is, which is 40 miles: every black, and every white being a mile: Then measure from the Towne of Knockfergus to the City of Dublin, and so many times as it is the length of the Scale, so many times 40 miles it is from one Towne to the other: Or if you would see any other Towne that is not so much as 40 miles distant from Dublin, then take the measure from Dublin to the Towne you would know, and then set your Compasses to the Scale of miles, and you shall see how many miles it is by the Compasse, counting every blacke a mile, and every white a mile, and that is the distance: by this you may know the

distance of any one Towne to another.

If you would know by the Book what Province any Towne you looke for is in: the name of the Province is set downe by the Towne in the Book.

How to know the longitude, and the latitude, and the degrees, and the minutes.

ON the top of the Mapp of Ireland, you shall finde written longitude, and on the side of the Mapp of Ireland, you shall finde written latitude, the degrees are mar∣ked with figures, the minutes are the black and the white: that you see every blacke is 4. minutes, and so is a white; at every twentieth minute there is a small stroke: there is three of them small strokes between every degree, which is 60 minutes, which makes a degree, every black and white be∣ing 4. minutes.

IRELAND.

IRELAND is situate under the tenth and twelfth climates: The longest day being 16. houres and more: It standeth to the west of Britaine, being of length from South to North neere foure hundred miles, and in bredth two hundred miles: the most usuall name amongst wri∣ters is Jernia, ••he moderne Hibernia, the English Ireland, the Inhabitants Eryn-land, which in their language signifieth Westerne land: It is environed on all sides with the sea, having on the South part the Virginian sea; on the west, the main westerne Ocean; on the North, the Deucalidonian sea; and on the East, the Irish sea, which divideth England and Scotland from Ireland.

This Island or the soil, it is full of moun∣taines, hills, woods, bogs and lakes, but abundantly fruitfull, as may be seen where the industry of man playeth the Midwife with the Earth, in helping her to bring forth.

It nourisheth no venomous beasts, so that a man may sleepe securely under a hedge, and in the open field upon the ground: All the breed thereof except wo∣men and gray-hounds, are lesser then in England.

The native people are generally strong, and nimble of body, carelesse of their lives, patient of cold and hunger, implacable, in enmity, savage, cruell, trecherous and su∣perstitious, easily adicted, and extreamly laborious, especially those commonly cal∣led the Kernes or wilde Irish; but such as are bred with the English and Scots are more civilized.

Since the first plantation there, of our English, the people have been governed by a Vice Roy, who wee usually call the Lord Deputy, to whom there commeth no Vice

Roy in Europe more neer the M jestie and Prerogative of a King.

Ireland is divided into foure Provinces,

• 1. Munster.
• 2. Connaght.
• 3. Vlster.
• 4. Lemster.

and these into 32. Counties.

The Metropolis of Ireland is Dublin, seated on the hiffe in Lemster, wherein is an Vniversirie: This City after the English conquest was people by a Colony of our Bristoll men.
