IN the beginning did the Everlaſting & almighty God, through his wiſdom, create the whole world out of nothing; & joyned the Earth with the Sea together (as being the heavieſt) in one round form, in the manner of a ball, & placed them in the center or midle point, as in the nethermoſt place; the heaven, as a tent, is with an un meaſurable breadth extended, over and about it, and adorned with many and glorious lights, as the Sunne, Moone, Planets, and other ſtarres innumerable. And that the earth minght be a fit habitation or dwelling for man and other terreſtrial creatures, and through its plentiful fruit nouriſh and ſuſtain them, hath God exalted it above the waters, and ordained unto the Zea its place in the depths on ſuch a manner, that ſhee on every ſide comprehending the earth with its crookednes, doth diſtinguiſh and devide the ſame in three ſeveral pars of great continents, that is firm lands; over which the deſcribers of the earth (as the Aſtronomers over heaven) place vijf circkels; as the Aequinoctial, ſo called, becauſe night and day are over the whole earth of one lenght whenſoeuer the Son doth come in this circle, which happeneth about the 21th. of march and the 23th of September. This circle is alſo called Aequator, to which when the Sunne commeth, it maketh the dayes and the nights equal; the Marriners of the low countries doe call it the middle-line, becauſe it doth devide the face of the earth in two equal parts, where of the one tendeth towards the north, and the other towards the ſouth and ſo it is the very middle betwixt the Northern, and ſouthern lines, or Poles. The other is called Tropicus Cancri, or the Sunne turning of the Crab, becauſe the Sunne when it commeth to this circle about thay 21 thay of June, beginneth to turne towards the Aequator, and then it is the longeſt day to thoſe who live in the north, and the ſhorteſt to thoſe who live in the ſouth from the Aequator: this circle is ſituated 23 degrees 32▪ minutes north ward from the middle-line. The third is tearmed Tropicus Capricorni, or a Sunne-turning of the heaven called Capricorne, becauſe the Sunne, when it commeth to this circle, which is about the 23th of December, beginneth to turne and to climb towards the Aequator; and then it is, contrary as before, the ſhorteſt day to thoſe who live in the North, and the longeſt to thoſe who live in the South of the mid-line: and this ſigne is ſituated 23 degrees, 31½ minuits in the South of the Aequinoctial. The 4th is called Circulus Arcticus, the Northern circle, and the 5th Circulus Antarcticus, the Southern circle: theſe are ſituated 23 degrees 31½ minuits, the one from the Northern, and the other from the Southern pole or diameter of the world, and are through tbe circumrotation off the heaven deſcribed from the Pole of the Zodiak, or the courſe of the Sunne. The ancient and moſt ſkilful Aſtronomers underſtand by the Circulus Arcticus not onely this which is deſcribed; but ſuch a circle whoſe half Diameter or line which goeth through the midle point, is even as much as the hight of the pole from every place, comprehending al wayes thoſe ſtarres which before the hight of every land never goe under; in which regard this circle in all countries which differ in breath, doth differ, as alſo from Antarcticus: but in the aforeſayd deſcription wee followe the common manner of the deſcribers of countries. The earth is alſo through the aforenamed 4 laſt circles devided in 5 great regions, by the Greek called Zonas, or girdels, becauſe that they in the form of girdels doe compaſſe the globe of the Earth. The firſt there of is environed or encloſed within the northern circle, and beareth the name of the Northern cold region. The ſecond is called the Southern cold region, runing round about the Southern Pole within the Southern circle. The third, being the middlemoſt amongſt them all, is called the barren and hot region, and is ſituated between the Circles of the Cancer or Crab and the ſigne of Capricornus. The 4h is ſituated betwixt the Northern Circle and the Circle of the Crab, and is called the tempeted Northern Region. The laſt, called the Southern temperate region, is ſituated betwixt the Circle of Capricornus and the Southern Circle. The old-Philoſophers and Deſcribers of countries did ſuppoſe that of theſe vive the two temperate alone where inhabited, and that of the other three, the two cold ones could not be inhabited, in regard of the great intolerable cold, and the barren hot region, in regard of the burning heat of the Sun But time inconcluſion hath produced, the truth thereof: ſeing we have experienced about 150 years hence that they all are inhabited, but the cold leaſt of all, as Greenland, Iceland, Lapland, the utmoſt parts of Norway, and ſuch like countries. Experience likewiſe hath taught us that in the barren, hot region the heat is not untolerable, neither doth it burn in ſuch a manner as the Ancient conceived: ſith there are found many excellent fruitful and populous Kingdoms, as Genee, Aethiope, Arabia, Eaſt-Indies, the famous Ilands Sumatra, Java, and Molucquen; as alſoo Breſil, Peru, New-Spain, and other ſuch like countries.

For to have the right underſtanding of the ſituation of countries, wee muſt know that the deſcribers of the earth calculate the ſame according to the degrees of length and breadth. The breadth of places (which is alwayes alike at the height of the Pole) is accounted from the midle line to be twofold, Northward or Southward to the number of ninety. The length is accounted from te Meridian-line, which runneth over de Pico de Tayda in the Iland Teneriffa, along the midle-line towards the Eaſt, to the number of 360, as for example, Amſterdam is ſituated 52½ from the midle-line towards the North, which is the breadth or the Poles higth of the fame city, and in the length 23 degrees, becauſe the ſame doth agree with ſuch a degree of the Aequinoctial, calculating from the aforeſaid Meridian. De Cabo de Bona Eſperanca is ſituated on the breath Southward from 34½ degrees, and in the length from 42 degrees. The countries or cities ſituated under the ſame length haue alwayes at one time and moment alike midday, and alike hour of the day: as when it is noon at Amſterdam then it is alſo noon at Bergen in Norway, at Lions in France, at Algiers in Barbary, and ſuch like places ſituated in one lenght. But thoſe which are ſituated under ſeverall degrees of length, differ likewiſe in the calculation of houres; ſo that when it is midday in the forenamed places, then it is at Bantam in the Iland Java 7 houres and 12 minutes in the afternoon, becauſe the ſame city is ſituated 108 degrees in the length toward the Eaſt, for it differs every 15 degrees one hour: but in the city Lima, laying in Peru, it is 6 houres in the fore-noon, becauſſe the ſame city is ſituated in the length about 90 degrees towards the Weſt, as Amſterdam. Thoſe alſo which are ſituated under the like breath or higth of the Pole, have alwayes alike length of dayes and nights: this is alſo to be underſtord, that thoſe who live on the ſouthſide of the midle-line have the ſhorteſt day, when we have the longeſt: as they have the Winter when we have the Sommer, and we the Winter, when they have the Sommer. But they which are ſituated under an unequal breadth or hight of the Pole, have alſo unequal length of dayes and nights: for the frarther à place is ſituated from the midleline, how the longeſt day is greater there, and the ſhorteſt les. As for example they who live under the Aequinoctial line, have day and night thorough the whole year alike long, without change. They who live on the breadth of 30 degrees, have the longeſt day, almoſt of 14 houres: on the breadth of 50 degrees, the longeſt day hath ſtifly 16 houres. Under the Northern Circle, which wee call Circules Arcticus, doth not the Sunne on the longeſt day ſet or goe under the Horizon. On the breadth of 70 degrees doth not the Sunne ſet in 64 dayes: and ſo following the longed dayes encreaſſe till under the Pole, where in the whole year not more is then one day and one night, each continuing one half year.

Further more the Earth is devided at this day in two great firm lands and parts, in Antiquam or old and Novam or new America, called the New World. The firſt called the Old World, becauſe it was onely known to the Ancient, have the ancient Deſcribers of the Earth devided again in three parts, towit, in Europa; Aſia, and Africa.

Some folks were uſed to call for a fifth part of the World, Terra Auſtralis, or Magellanica, the countries Southward of the Strait Magellanes; but being the navigation of the Hollanders is known but few years in thoſe Countries, whereas they have fond moſt Islands, and no Continent that deſerveth ſuch a name, ſo think it ſuficient only to hint at it, unleſs they would reckon for Terra Auſtralis, the countries at the ſouth of Nova Guinea, moſt found in the year 1644. and are called in our Dutch Maps Hollandia, and Zelandia-Nova.

The Royal and Princely chief cities in the countries and Kingdoms, where the ſoverains of the World have their ſeats, are theſe:

For to behold right in a Map of the World the Earth and the ſeas, we are to obſerve, that the Middleline going right Eaſt and Weſt, is called the Aequinoctial Line, the crooked Circle going through the middle of it, the Zodiack, or the way of the Bon, the other circles going all Eaſt and weſt are called Parallel or even going circles, but the Circles going towards the north and the ſouth, Meridian-circles: by theſe they meaſure the bredth of the Countries, and ſeas, as well at the north, as at the ſouth of the Equinox, and by thoſe of the ſaid Parallel-Circles the length of the countries and ſeas, all which is to be ſeen in the Map of the world.

The Earth in its four parts reckoned together cometh to 10350 German miles; and the ſeas all together comprehendeth in 14 ſeas, come to 15695. German miles.

All this we have Jugded uſeful to ſhew here to the good Reader, hoping to give him here by yet ſome ſatisfaction, which we entreat that our zeal to ſerve him, may be acceptablely taken. Farewell.
