To sayl to Boston-deep, within Boston-Knock.

First, You must keep the Sounding of the Shore in four or five fathom, till the Point of Legerness be N. N. W. from you, between the Shore and the Knock; in the midst of the Channel it is five fathom, but is dry at low-water; when Legerness is W. N. W. from you, then go on South-west through between the Knock and the Shoal, (which shooteth off from the westward of Legerness) until you get again the depth of six or se∣ven fathom. In this going over, there is but two fa∣thom at low-water, but it floweth there about five fa∣thom up and down; being over it, go on South-west alongst between the Long-sand and the Shoal, which lyeth off from the Shore, it is between 9 and 10 fathom deep; you may sound on both sides (as well the Shoal that lyeth off from the Land, as the Long-sand) in five fathom; but the Flats are somewhat steeper then the Long-sand.
