of the West-barrows, N. E. by East, about four miles, in two several Sands, one at the end of the other, the South-west end of them tayling upwards.
On the North-west side of the North-east end of the West-barrows, * 1.1 is a small swatch passing between them; also between the two East-barrows there is a swatch, where small Vessels that are acquainted do pass through; both these Sands fall dry at low water, and are in length about four miles; the South side of these two Sands is steep, the North-west more bolder, yet something steep. The North-east end of these doth bear from the Naze South by East, ten miles distant. The Channel be∣twixt this and the Heaps, is a mile broad, in which you have 7, 8, 9, and 10 fathom water; and in one place a cross Ridge lies thwart the Channel, where there is but two and three fathoms.
