To sayl by the Naze to the Northwards.
From the Eagle to the Naze, you may borrow to the shore, and the course is N. E. by North, or N. N. E. To go by the Naze, you must bring Harwich-steeple unto the East part of the Saddle in the Cliff-end; be sure you shut not St. Hellen into the Naze, before you bring the Steeple into the Saddle; and so you may steer with the Steeple, until you bring the Dove-house with the Naze; or the Naze-end unto a Tree on the lower end of the Hedge-row that is to the southward of the House; and being in one, then may you have your other marks, and steer to the eastward, keeping the House and Tree in one; and more to the south∣ward of the Hedge-row, in the lower end of the Field, a stones cast from the Hedge, is a lively Tree, or great Bush, which you may bring into a Tree, between two high Trees, that are to the southward of the House; and these marks you may keep in one, steering North-east by North, keeping Harwich-steeple open of the East end of the Cliff, and then you may bear in with the Harbour; but the best water is when the Steeple is on the Hommock, between the Beacon and the Cliff, and so steer to the northwards as you please.
