IT is to be vnderstoode, that by reason of the Seuerne, that diuides Wales frō Cornewall, Somerset, &c. that the distances betweene the Townes of either side, cannot be precisely set downe, for that there is great difference, betweene the land trauaile, and passages by water, as men take according to their liking.

I haue not done this altogether by mine owne obseruation, though I haue trauailed most part of the Kingdome▪ And therefore haue taken the benefit of the Mappes of the same. And there may some errours arise, as wayes lye curuing or direct, passable or not, and as Trauailers are disposed to coast the Countries to make choyse of their wayes. Such as it is, I willingly recommend it to all that please to make vse of it, as a labour intricate, and neuer before inuented.

The vse of this Table.

WHo so euer shall be disposed to make vse of this Table, as desirous to know the distance betweene any two Cities or Townes contayned in the same, let him seeke the places desired in the vpper and side Catalogues of Townes, and direct his eye from either place, betweene the lines, both from aboue and from the side, and where the lines meete in square, hee shall find the number of miles: For example, if hee would know how farre Lincolne is from Exceter, finde Lincolne in the side, and carie your eye directly from thence betweene the lines vntill you come vnder Exceter, and where they meete in square he shall finde 180. which is the distance of miles.

If you finde any Towne on the side which will not meete in square from the desired Towne aboue, then looke for the Towne which you finde in the side, aboue: For Example, if you desire to knowe the distance betwene Glocester and Oxford, if you looke Glocester in the side you cannot bring Oxford in a square with Glocester, but if you looke Glocester in the side, and Oxford aboue, you shall find the square and the distance 37. miles, and so of any other.

Intreating him friendly to censure any error in the calculation or impression, which cannot be but easily founde, comming vnder the view of men all parts of the Kingdome, who are better acquainted with distances neere their owne abode, then any one man generally be. But howsoeuer he shall finde the conceit vsefull and necessarie, if he be occasioned to trauell much.
