W. in 4 or 5 fathom, as the Wind serves, for the Ebb setteth upon a Shoal that lyeth to the East∣ward, called the Eagle;* 1.2 and the Tyde of Flood set∣teth on a Shoal, called the Knowl, and is to the west∣ward of your going in; and you may run down to the southward, borrowing in five fathom upon the Main, until you bring Banbury-land (which is the high Land that lies above Malden) a Sayls breadth open with Brad∣well-point, (which Mark will bring you between the Eagle and the Knowl) and run with these marks until you bring a steeple that stands on the North-shore, open of the red Cliffs end; and so run with these marks open and shut, North up,
* 1.3 until you come to Marzey-Block-house, and there you may come to an anchor in six or seven fathom water.
