THE SEA-ATLAS: CONTAINING An Hydrographical Description of the SEACOASTS of most of the known Parts of the WORLD.  

THat whole Mass of Waters which maketh up one part of this Terrestrial Globe, and is sometimes, as it were, environed with the Earth, as in Rivers, Streights, and smaller Seas; sometimes dilating itself into larger Floods, doth encompass the Earth, as in the Ocean or greater Seas, may be conveniently divided, somewhat according to the four general Regions or Divisions of the Earth, into four parts: The North Sea, or Mar deal Noort, comprehendeth all those Waters which, from the Pole-Artick even unto the Equator, do wash the Shores of Europe, Africa, and America: The Ethiopian Sea, or Mar d' Ethiopia, which from the Equinoctial Line northerly, the Shores of Ethiopia on the East, and the Coasts of America on the West part, runneth with unknown bounds towards the Antarctic Pole. The Indian Sea, or Mar d' India, bounded on the West with the Oriental Parts of Africa; on the North, by the South Coasts of Asia; and circumvironing all the Islands of the East-India, as far as Islas de Ladronas, and Nova Guinea, hath its South parts tending towards the Antarctic Pole, not yet discovered. The South Sea, called also Mar deal Zur, or Mare Pacificum, runneth all along the Western Shores of America on the one side; is contiguate with the Indian Sea on the other, but hath yet found no limits towards the Arctic or Antarctic Poles. Which general division of the Ocean, so far as conveniency may admit in the succeeding breviary Description of the Seacoasts, shall be observed.  
The Coasts of those two famous Islands of Great Britain and Ireland, 
Britain.  are the first that discover themselves to us, out of this Northern Division of the Ocean: The first whereof is not without cause esteemed the Metropolitan Island of Europe, I will say (taken in all respects) of the World; It is attended by many lesser Islands, the chief whereof are Thanet, Wight, Silly, Anglesey, Man, Lewis, the Hebrides, Orknay, Shotland, and Far: Stored with plenty of Ports, Bays, Rivers, Roads, and Harbours, capable to receive Ships of great Burden; amongst which London accounted the Mart of Christendom, the Metropolis of Great Britain, conveniently seated on the River of Thames, hath the chiefest note.  
Next unto which, on the East side northerly, by the Germane Ocean, are Harwich, Yarmouth, Lin, Kingston upon Hull, Newcastle, a gallant Haven, famous for its inexhaustible Cole-Mines, and Edinburgh and Dundee in Scotland, etc.  
On the South side, between the Coasts of England and France, called the Channel, are Dover, Chichester, Portsmouth, Weymouth, Plymouth, and Dartmouth.  
On the West side, over against the Coasts of Ireland, in that violent and turbulent Sea, called St. George his Channel, are Bristol, Pembroke, or Milford-Haven, Chester, Leverpool, Carlisle, etc.  
The Island (especially England) yielding abundant plenty of Corn and , besides other Commodities, as Led, Tin, Iron, Sea-coal, Saffron, Wool, Cloth, Liquorish, Millstones, and other rich Merchandise; multitude of Ships being continually in the Ports, serving either to export her own, or to import other Commodities from most places of the World in lieu thereof.  
On the Coasts of Ireland, are Knock-fargus, Dublin, 
Ireland.  Waterford, Kingsale, Limrick, Galloway, etc. Principally abounding in , from whence great numbers are yearly exported into other countries'.  
Passing on northerly, just under the Artich-Circle, lieth environed, by the Northern Ocean, 
Iseland.  or Mare Glaciale, Iseland, or rather Iceland, first discovered by one Naddoc a Pirate, who by a Tempest was driven to the Shores of this Country; which afterwards, from the coldness and store of Ice there continually found, was so named, and first inhabited by the Norvegians, now under the power of the King of Denmark; a place frequented by Danes, English, High and Low Dutch, and Biscainers, where in exchange of Biscuit, Beer, Iron, Copper, Cloth, and some other Wares they bring from thence, Stockfish, and other sorts of Fish, train-oil, Skins of Foxes and other Beasts, Sulphur, and a sort of course Cloth, and Stockings, called Wadmoll.  
The Ports most frequented, are Strom, Warloswick, Kebbelwick, Busland, Orbaack, Hola, and Haffenford; near unto which standeth Bellestede, the Residence of the Governor, a Dwelling suitable enough to the manner and fashion of this Country.  
North-east from hence, in the Latitude of 76 and 80, lieth Greenland, or King James his New Land; 
Greenland.  first found out by Sir Hugh Willowby, in the year 1553. (though the Dutch men affirm it to be discovered first by Jacob Hemskerk, William Barrentson, and John Cornelius Rip, Anno 1596.) which whether it by an Island or contiguate with the main Continent of Groenland, or some other Northern Region, none have hitherto known.  
The Inland parts are stored with great numbers of Bears, Deer, Foxes, and such like Creatures; and the Seashores with multitude of Morses and Whales of incredible magnitude; for the catching whereof, the Inhabitants of most Seaports in the Northern Ocean do usually make their yearly Voyages.  
Not far from hence lieth Bear Island, or rather Cherry Island, 
Cherry Island.  so named from Sir Francis Cherry Merchant, who was at the charge of the discovery thereof; whither resort great number of Sea-Horses or Morses, and Whales; the Moscovy Company once making great profit of the trade therein.  
Thirty degrees to the South-eastward hereof, is the Island of Nova Zemla, 
Nova Zemla.  separated from the North Continent of Russia, by the straits of Vaigats, alias Fretum Burrough, through which so many brave and worthy Navigators have attempted to find a passage into Scythia and China; 
N. E. Passage.  but being obstructed by the abundance of Ice met with in those Seas, could yet discover no farther eastwards than the great River Oby, the Northwest confine of the Kingdom of Tartary, 
Tartarian Sea.  though it hath been often reported by the Samoed Tartars, Russes, and others that have traveled those Countries by Land, that the Tartarian Seas do at certain seasons of the year lie open, and free from such encumbrance.  
To return therefore by the known Parts of Russia, 
Russia.  the Ports and Places whereof, worthy observation, and most frequented, are, first Petzora Reca, the Isle of Colgoyn, situate at the mouth of a great Bay, whence compassing Cape Candences, there is the entrance into the White-Sea, 
White-Sea.  or Bay of St. Nicholas, which Master Richard chancellor, in the Richard-Bonaventure, first discovered, and settled a Trade with the Moscovites, or Russes, at the Town of St. Nicholas, a well known Port, situate at the influx of the River Dutna, into the Bay. But St. Michael's, on the Seaside, commonly called Archangel, is the Town of greatest Trade, especially by the English, who have of late there fixed their Staple.  
The principal Commodities they send abroad, are Rich Furs, Hemp, Flax, Fish, Train Oil, Honey, Wax, Pitch, Rosin, and the like; receiving in return, Cloth, Silk, Tapstery, and some other Merchandise.  
Without this Bay, 
Lapland.  on the Coast of Lapland, Finmark, and Norway, are Kola, Kegor, (near unto which Sir Hugh Willoughby, with his Company, in the Bon Esperanza, attempting first the discovery of unknown Places in this Icy Sea, were frozen to death) next are Wardhouse, and the North-Cape, so called, because it is the out-most Northern Bound of the Continent of Europe.  
Dronten, 
Norway  in the Latin Nidrosia, so called, from the River Nider, on which it is seated; anciently the Metropolis of Norway, but since the subjection of this Country to the Danes, reduced to a Burrow. Bergen the principal Town of this Country, the ordinary Residence of the Governor for the Kings of Denmark; strongly situate amongst high Mountains, at the bottom of a deep Creek or Arm of the Germane Ocean, called Carmfunt, a safe and noted Port, much resorted to by Merchants of most European Nations, bringing thither Corn, Bread, Beer, Wine, and Brandy, to supply the natural wants and defects hereof; and in exchange transporting Fish, Furs, Board's, Cordage, Masts, and other Materials for Shipping. Then Longsound, Ansloo, Maelstrand, and Gottenburgh, noted for the multitude of Herrings thereabout.  
Not far from hence is the entrance into the Baltick-Sea, which beginneth at the narrow Passage called the Sound, 
Sound.  and interlacing the Countries of Denmark, Swedland, Poland, and Germany, extending even to Livonia and Lithuania. The Islands whereof are many in number, the chief are, Zealand, Funen, Langeland, Laland, 
Baltick-Sea.  Falstre, Alsen, Meun, Rugen, Bornholm, Oeland, Gothland, Osel, Dageroort, Runen, and Hoogeland.  
The chief Ports and Places of note bordering on the Sea, are Elsenore, strongly seated on that narrow Streight, or Fretum, not above a Dutch mile in breadth, commonly called by the name of the Sound; Over against which, on the other side, is Elsengburgh, a straight through which all Ships that have any trading to or from the Baltick-Sea, must of necessity take their course, all other Passages being either barred up with impassable Rocks, or otherwise prohibited by the Kings of Denmark, upon forfeiture of all their Goods. Copenbagen, or Haven of Merchants, placed by the Sea in the same Island of Zealand, being a convenient Port; This and the magnificent Castle of Cronenburgh near Elsenore, being the constant Residence of the Kings of Denmark.  
The next are Slesbourgh, Elholm, Calmar, 
Swedland.  Zuiddercoppen, Nordcoppen, Nycoppen, Stockholm, the Metropolis and chief trading Port of Swedland, and a place worthy observation for Merchandise; exceeding strong, both by Art and Nature, being situate in the Marshes, like Venice at the Mouth of the Lake, or River Meler; the passage to it out of the Bay being very narrow, and yet so deep withal, that the greatest Ships of burden may sail up to the City; the Port within the Sreight being so safe and capacious, that it is able at one time to receive 300 Sail, which usually ride there without Anchor.  
Next, upsal, an Arch-Bishops Sea and University, placed not far from the Bay of Bodnar, called also Sinus Bodicus, or the North Bottom, 
North-Bottom.  a long and not much frequented Sea, which from the Latitude of 60, extends itself even to the Corsts of Lapland and Finmark.  
Places of note are few worthy observation, the chief Birkara in West Bodden, betwixt the Bay and a great navigable Lake: Toronia the best place of Trade, seated at the very bottom of the Bay in North Bodden: Helsingeliac more North than that, towards the Borders of Lapland: Kerlabi in East Bodden, on the Bank of the Gulf, conveniently seated for a Town of Trade. The Country is but barely stored with Grain and Fruits, but full of great variety of Wild Beasts, whose Rich Furs yield great profit to the Inhabitants; and by reason of the commodious situation on all sides of the Bay, well stored with Fish.  
At the Southeast part of this Bay is the Island Erk, near to the Town Aboo, from whence all alongst the Shores Eastward, on the South side of Finland, the Coast is exceeding dangerous, and for the most part innavigable, because of the innumerable multitude of Islands, Shoals, and Rocks, the greatest of which is called the Pelting, even as far as Wyborg, a Town conveniently seated at the bottom of the Bay or Gulf of Finland, called Sinus Finnicus. Over against which is Narva, on the North Bank of Duina, where it falls into the Bay of Finland, the only place of Trade, 
Liesland  into Moscovia or Russia, through the Baltic.  
Revel a well traded Port, situate in the same Bay, which together with Wyborg and the Narve, are now in the possession of the King of Swedland.  
The next Port of note is Riga, a famous Empory, 
Poland.  of great resort for Foreign Merchants; who carry hence Pitch, Wax, Hemp, Flax, and such other Commodities.  
Dantzick, seated on the Weyssel, second of the Hanse-Towns, of so great Trade, such a noted Granary for all sorts of Corn, issued from thence to supply the want of other Countries, that 1000 measures of Wheat (besides all other Commodities proportionable) are here daily sold.  
Stetin once a poor Fisher-Town, now the Metropolis of Pomeren. 
Pomeren   
Straelsond a Town of much Trading, and great resort, situate on the Baltic, opposite to the Isle of Rugen.

Wismar and Lubeck, seated on the confluence of the Trave and Billow, near the fall thereof into the Baltic, a River capable of Ships of 1000 tuns, which commonly they unlade at Travemond, the Port Town of the City, a little lower nearer the Sea, an enfranchised Town being the principal among the Hanse-Towns.  
On the Coasts of Jutland, 
Jutland.  being a Peninsula, between the Baltic Sea and Germane Ocean on the east parts, whereof there is another passage into the Baltic Sea, called the Belt, 
Belt.  but not so much frequented as the Sound, formerly spoken of.  
The chief Towns and Places are Flenborg, having a Port so deep, so safe, and so commodious, that they may lad and unlade their great Ships in a manner close by their Houses.  
The other are Hadersleve, Sternbergh, Sleswick, Wyborg, and Odensee in Funen, Arhusen, and Schagen, the most northerly point of Jutland.  
On the Coast of Germany, contiguate with the Ocean, 
Hamburgh.  are first Hamburgh, on the Bill, where it falls into the Elve, one of the Hanse-Towns also; having by report, as many great Ships as sail upon the Ocean, which bring great profit, besides the resort of Merchants from most places. It was sometimes the Staple Town for the Cloth of England; on some discontent removed from thence to Stadt, a little nearer the Sea, on the same River; from thence afterwards to Holland.  
Next Bremen, seated on the broad and navigable River Weser, whence comes store of Linen Cloth, called from a Town not far thence Osenbridge.

In the other parts where the Sea opens, it is 300 miles over, supposed to have been once a Peninsula, afterwards separated from Italy by the fury of the Waves, or violence of some Earthquakes, which are there frequent. The Island is so plentifully stored with Corn, that it heretofore obtained the name of the Granary or storehouse of Rome, and doth still furnish, not only many parts of Italy, but Spain, Barbary, Malta, and the adjacent Isles; the other Commodities are much like those of Italy, in great plenty.

In this mentioned Sea, on the Continent Shores of Greece and Thrace, are observable first Athens, now called Setines; so famously heretofore memorable, now an ordinary Burrough.  
Next Thessalonica, now Salonichi, at the bottom of a great Bay so called, a beautiful wealthy City, inhabited by rich Merchants of most Nations and Religions, who drive here a great Trade.  
Abdera, Aenos, Lysimachia, and Philippopolis, on the River Hebrus.  
Selimbria, Sestos, a Peninsula in the Thracian Chersonese, having a strong Castle; opposite to which there is another on the Asian Shore, called Abydos, both of them having the name of the Dardanelli, the Key and Blockhouses of Constantinople, commanding the Passage so strongly, that none may go out or in without their licence.  
But the chief glory of this Country and of all Europe, is Constantinople, 
Constantinople.  seated in so commodious a place for Empire, that it overlooks both Europe and Asia; commands not only the Propontis and Bosphorus, but the Euxine Sea; first called Byzantium, now since the possession of it by the Turks, Stamboldi, having a most curious Haven or Port so conveniently profound, that Ships of greatest burden may lie at the sides thereof for receipt and discharge of their Lading; so conveniently seated, that there is no Wind whatsoever but brings in some shipping; which affords a vast trade of Merchandise from all parts, and of all sorts.  
Beyond this is the Propontis and the Euxine, 
Euxine. Sea.  or Black Sea, or Pontus, now Maggiore, a very dangerous Sea, full of Rocks and Sands, guarded at the entrance by the Bosphorus with two strong Castles, called the Black Towers.  
But to return again to the Aegean Sea, by the Coasts of Asia, the places most worthy of notice for Trade are but few, the chief Smyrna, a fair and ancient City, 
Smyrna.  on a large Bay so named, much traded and frequented at this day, especially for Chamlets, Grograms, and such like Commodities, where the English have a Consul resident.  
Ephesus, Halicarnassus, Matari, Antioch, of no great Trade.  
And at the end of the Mediterranean Sea, Alexandretta or Scandarone, pretty commodious for Trade, being the nearest Haven to Aleppo, heretofore the choice Staple for all the Eastern Commodities brought to Euphrates, before the Portugals discovery of the Southern Passage to India and Persia.  
Tyre a City in ancient time of great Trade and Wealth, seated on a Rocky Island, the People whereof were supposed to be the first that invented shipping, now nothing but a heap of rubbish.  
Tripoli, 
Cyprus.  over against which is the Island Cyprus, in the Syrian and Cilician Sea, abounding in Wine, Oil, Corn, Sugar, Cotton, Honey, Wool, Turpentine, Allom, Verdegreece, Salt, Grograms, and other Commodities.  
On the Coasts of Egypt and Barbary, 
Egypt.  are first Alexandria, situate westward of Delta, over against the Ifle Pharos, at the Mouth of the River Nile; exceeding strong, inhabited by men of divers Nations, as Moors, Jews, Turks, Greeks, and almost all other Nations, for the gain they reap by trafficking in Corn, Rice, Estridge-Feathers, Gums, Drugs, Spices, Cotten-Cloth, and other rich Commodities.  
Tripoli in Barbary, an usual retreat for Pirates that infest those Seas.  
Next Tunis, whose Commodities are chief Oil, some Corn, Figs, Dates, Almonds, and other Fruits.  
Algiers, situate near the Sea, in the form of a Triangle, with an Haven to it, a City not so large, as strong; and not so strong as famous, for being the Receptacle of the Turkish Pirates, who domineer so infinitely over the Mediterranean, to the great damage of Merchants that frequent those Seas.  
Tetuan, the last Town within the Straits on the African Shore.  
On the African shore without the Straits, 
Tanger.  lieth Tanger, near Cape Spartel, a Town very ancient, thirty miles distant from the Straits Mouth; belonging heretofore to the Portugals, now to the Crown of England, where there is lately built a large and convenient Mole for the reception of Ships; and a strong Garrison for defence of the place, and against the incursion of the Moors.  
Sallee, a Town much traded formerly by Merchants of England, Flanders, Genoa, and Venice, of late made a nest of Pirates, as dangerous to those that sail in the Ocean, as Argier to those in the Mediterranean.  
Southwestwards from hence are the Canaries, or fortunate Islands, in number seven, so called from Canaria, the principal thereof: The names are these, Canaria, Palma, Gomero, Ferro, Lancerote, Tenariff, and Forteventura; called Fortunate, from their fruitfulness and other excellencies, plentiful in Woad and other Commodities, 
Canary  but especially in those rich Wines we call Canaries; a sort of Wine, if not sophisticated, more pleasing to the , and a better Remedy for the natural weakness of the Stomach, (if moderately taken) than any other Wine whatsoever; brought hither in such abundance to supply our luxury, that much more than three thousand Tuns hereof are brought yearly into England only.  
Next Medera, the greatest Island in the Atlantick-Sea, over against Cape Cantin in Morocco, wonderfully fruitful; abounding in Madder, Sugar, Fruits, Wines, etc.  
Not far from thence is the Isle Porto Sancto, very fruitful also, but much annoyed by the innumerable multitude of Coneys that breed there.  
About Cape Blanco generally the Seaports and Places, even to the farthermost parts of Guinea, yea even of all Africa, were belonging to the Portugals, who fortified and placed Colonies in each as their trading increased; as Porto de Dio, Del Rosato, Arquin, Rio de Portuguez, or Senega, betwixt which and the River Gamba, is the great westward Cape of Africa, called Cape Verde, than Rio de Sancto Domingo, and Rio Grand, etc.  
Now several of them are much used and frequented by Dutch, English, and French. The Commodities are chief Gold, Ivory, and a sort of Pepper which we call Guinea Pepper, of double efficacy to the Indian.  
To the Westwards of Cape Verde, 
The Isles of Cape Verde.  lie the Islands, so called, being ten in number, St. Antonio, St. Vincent, Bonavist, St. Lucys, the Isle of Salt, Del Fogo, St. Nicholas, Mayo, St. Jago, and Brava.  
Here the continuance of this Discourse should have been broken off to have took in the Northern Tract of America, as far as the Equinoctial, so to have completed this Hydrographical Description, according to the first division of the Ocean; but I thought it more convenient to go forward through the remaining part of the Ethiopian and all the Indian Seas, alongst the Shores of Africa and Asia, and having briefly spoken thereof, to comprehend all the West India or America in one Treatise.  
To proceed then on the Coast of Africa: from the River Gamba, to the Cape of Good Hope, are the Coasts of Malegette, the Grain Coast, Cape de Palmas, Quaqua Coast, the Gold Coast, Cape de trees Puntas, the Coast of Benin, called also the Bite or Gulf of St. Thomas, Cape Formosa; all this whole Country abounding in Corn, Rice, Millet, excellent Fruits; also in Gold both in Sand and Ingots, Ivory, Wax, Hides, Cotton, Ambergris, Brasil-Wood, Pearls; which they truck for Cloth, Woollen and Linen, Redcaps, 
Guiny.  Frize-Mantles, Guns, Swords, Daggers, Belts, Knives, Copper-Bars, Hammers, Ax-heads, Salt, Pins, Kettles, Basins, Looking-Glasses, Beads, Tinn-Rings, and certain Shells called Gories, which passeth there instead of Money. They drive a great trade for these said Commodities with their own people, whom they sell for Slaves, the Kings selling their Subjects, Parents their Children, and indeed all whom they can take or surprise, which are sent generally to the West-India Plantations.  
To the southward hereof the Ports are divers, but little frequented by the English. The Portugals conquering and possessing several places from the weak Native Inhabitants, all along those Shores. Much thereof being since gotten by the Dutch, some by us and others; all which do generally abound with the usual Merchandise of the other western parts of afric.  
Here also must not be omitted the mention of such Isles as lie in this part of the Ethiopian Sea, namely, St. Thoma, just under the Equator, inhabited now by the Dutch, Ferdinand de Poo, Prince's Island, Annibon, St. Helena, the usual place of Watering in the return of East-India Voyages, being in possession of the English East-India Company; Ascention, a barren Island, whereunto sometimes Ships go a tortling.  
Cape de bon Espranza, or the Cape of Good Hope, 
Cape of Good Hope.  was first discovered by Vasques de Gama a Portugal, Anno 1597. by which Discovery, monopolising to themselves the wealthy Trade of India for a great while, till by one means or another communicated to others. The Cape consisteth of three Points or Headlands, whereof that which is nearest is called as before; the middlemost, Cabofalso, because mistaken for the other by some of the Portugals in their return homewards; the other the Cape of Needles, or Cape das Agullas, by reason of the sharp Points it shoots out into the Sea. On the top of this Cape is a large and pleasant plain, called the Table of the Cape, yielding a large prospect over the Sea on all sides.  
Beyond which, the first Port of observable note, is Sofala, on a little Island near the great River Cuama, next Mozambique, conveniently seated on a large and capacious Haven; strongly fortified, in the hands of the Portugals, who in their going to the Indies, and returning back, used to call here, and to fit themselves with all things necessary to pursue their Voyages: A Town of so great Trade and Wealth, that the Captain of the Castle, in the time of his Government, being but three years, is said to have laid up 300000 Ducats for his lawful gains, out of the Gold, etc. there, and coming from Sofala.  
Over against this Port eastward, lieth the great Island Madagascar, 
St. Laurence.  or St. Laurence, being the greatest yet known in the World; plentiful in all things for the life of man, particularly of Mill, Rice, Sugar, Honey, Wax, cotton-wool, Coco-Nuts, Dates, Goats, Deer, Oxen, Sheep, Fruits, Ginger, Cloves, Sanders, Saffron, Amber, Gold, Silver, Ivory, and Ebony; which they exchange for Toys and small Trifles. The Inhabitants inhospitable and treacherous. Harbours it hath many, and often frequented by Portugals, Dutch, and English.  
Up higher towards the Arabick-Gulf, are Melinde, Mombaza, Quiloa, Magadoza, etc.  
At the most eastern part of afric, called Cape Gardefu, lieth the Island Zocotora, abounding in Cinnabar, Dragons-Blood, and Aloes, hence called Aloes Socotrina.  
Here is the entrance into the Arabian-Gulf, or Red-Sea, 
Red-Sea.  rightly so called from bordering on the Land of Edom. The chief Ports whereof are Zeila, Mazzua, on the Coast of Ethiopia. And at the very top thereof Sues, or Arsinoe, the station of the Turkish Galleys that command the Gulf, they being first framed at Cair, then taken in pieces, brought hither, and here rebuilt and joined together.  
Eziongeber, the Haven of Solomon's Ships, that fetched his Gold from Ophir.  
Others in this Gulf, on the Coast of Arabia, are few, or no places worthy of mention, as far as Babel Mandel, where it openeth into the Southern Ocean; most part of the Persian and Indian Merchandise coming formerly this way, and so transported by Land to Cair, then to Alexandria, but now little or nothing used.  
A little without the Gulf standeth Aden, a gallant Haven, well traded, and seldom without store of Shipping, carrying from thence Gums, Drugs, and other Merchandise.  
Next Oran, the Lock and Key of the Southern Ocean, on the Point or Promontory, at the entering into the Persiangulf, 
Persiangulf.  or Gulf de Elcatiffe, a turbulent and unruly Sea, the Southern Ocean breaking in at one end, and the River Euphrates at the other, the continual combating and clashing of which two, makes it so unquiet.  
Places and Ports of note on the Arabian Shore, are Muscabat, Sabta, Balsara, Rhegium.  
But none so famous as the City of Ormus, on the Persian Shore; not so memorable for the greatness, as the wealth and conveniency of the situation thereof; built in an Island, so called, a famous Empory for Persian and Indian Commodities; being hence transported and conveyed to Badgat, or Babylon, Aleppo, and Tripoli, not yet wholly decayed; besides plenty of other Merchandise, here are found the best and fairest Oriental Pearls, which are caught in this Gulf between Basara and Ormus.  
The first Port on the Coast of India, 
India.  is accounted Diu, looking towards Persia; but on the East side thereof, near the Mouth of the River Indus, a Town of great Trade, possessed by the Portugals.  
Tutta on the Banks of Indus, of no less trade to the Portugals, who here receive such Indian Commodities as come down the Water from Lahore, returning Pepper in exchange, which they bring up the River from their other Factories.  
Madabat the chief Town of Guzarat, affirmed to be near as big as London; seldom without Merchants of all parts.  
Cambaia, 3 miles from Indus, and as many in compass, so populous, that it is accounted the Cair of the Indies; exceeding fruitful, abounding in Rice, Wheat, Sugar; all sorts of Spices and Fruits, Silk, Cottons; and in the Mountains thereabouts they find Diamonds, Calcedonies, and a kind of Onyx, called Corneline, corruptly Cornelian.  
Swaley, in a large Bay so called, the Haven Town for Surat, about ten miles from the Road,

Bombay is a great Factory for the English East-India Company.  
Goa a Sea-Town, situate in a little, 
Goa.  but most pleasant Island, called Ticuarinum, fifteen miles in compass, opposite to the Outlet of the River Mindano, a noted Empory, and one of the chief Keys that unlock the Indies; inhabited, besides the Portugals, by Indians, Moors, Jews, Armenians, Guzarats, Banians, Bramaa's, and many others, who for the cause of Trade and Gain, dwell here, without molestation for their Religion.  
Curwar Batticale, on the Coast of Malabar, first Cononor; well built and beautified, with a very fair Haven, belonging to the Portugals, and well traded by Merchants.  
Then Calicut, the chief of these parts,

Cochin, a Sea-Town likewise, of little less Trade than Calicut.  
To the southward hereof is Cape Comarin, 
Cape Comerin.  or Cormandel; and a little from thence the Island Zeylan, large, and almost round, affirmed to be plentiful in Cinnamon, Ginger, Gold of the best sort, Silver, and all sorts of Metals, Pretious-Stones, and store of the largest Elephants; the chief Towns are Trinquelimale and Batticalo, Jaffanapatan, Colmuch now Columbo, having a fair Haven, the Royal Seat of the Kings, whence many Ships laden with Cinnamon, Gems, Elephants, and other Commodities go yearly to other places.  
Within the Gulf of Bengala, in the Kingdom of Golkondo, are Negapatan, Madras, St. George's Fort, 
Gulf of Bengala.  Masulapatan, Orissa, Bellesor, Angeli, etc. From all which they usually send plenty of Rice, Cotten-Cloth, a fine Stuff like Silk, made of a Grass, called there Yerva; Long-Pepper, Ginger, Mirabolans, and other Merchandise.  
Ougely and Bengala, giving name to the great Bay, situate on a Branch of the River Ganges, a place endowed with plenty of all things fit for life, rich in Merchandise, especially Rice, Gold, Precious Stones, Pearls, a curious sort of painted Cotten Cloth thence sent to all parts of the World.  
Aracan and Pegu, the glory of these parts, great; strong, and Beautiful, Rich in Gold, Gems of divers sorts, Red-Wax, etc.  
Lugor, on the Seaside, near that little Istmos that joineth the Chersonese to the main Land.  
Martaban, Sornaw, Queda, renowned for the best Pepper, and in most plenty, for that cause much frequented by Merchants.  
And in the Kingdom of Siam,

To the northward whereof lieth the Isle of Aynan, a place of the greatest note for the Pearl-fishing.  
Hereabout beginneth the Kingdom of China, 
China.  which as it is the largest, richest, and best inhabited throughout the whole World, would require a Treatise correspondent; but because they are a People forbidding Foreigners to trade amongst them, unless in some sew places, the knowledge of others coming only by particular report, I shall only give a touch at two or three places which are most considerable for Trade; as  
First, Nanquin, of incredible greatness, situate in a great Gulf, so called, nine leagues from the Sea, on the great River Kiang, wherein, by report, ride for the most part no less than 10000 of the King's Ships, besides such as belong to private Merchants.  
Cantan, on the Navigable River Macas, where the Portugals had once a great Factory.  
Fucheau, not far from the Sea, well-traded, and conveniently seated for conveyance of Merchandise throughout the whole Kingdom.  
Scianhay a Town frequented by much Shipping, not above twenty four hours sail from Japan; the Trade whereof is chief Cottons.  
Numerous are the Ports of China besides these, which for the cause aforesaid are omitted: The general Trade whereof consists chief in Gold, Silver, Copper, China-Silks in abundance; fine Purselans, Rhubarb, Musk, Civet, Amber, Camphire, Spices, Pearls, much China-Wood, and almost all sorts of Merchandise.  
The Islands scattered up and down the Indian Seas, are very many, and rich in Merchandise, viz.  
Japan the most northern Island of all, 
Japan.  having several fair Ports, Meaco being the chief, at this time the Empory and Staple of China, whither they bring their Commodities for foreign Trade.  
The Philippines, 
Philippines.  so called, in honour of Philip the Second, King of Spain, in whose time discovered, many whereof have been, or now are, under that Crown.  
Manillas' Mattan, unfortunately remarkable for the death of Magellan, there slain in a Battle with the Natives.

Moluccoes, Ternate, Tidor, Machir, Rachian, Machian, Botone, Celibes, Gilolo, Macassar, and Amboina, where that inhuman Butchery was by the Hollanders committed upon the English, Anno 1618. Unto all which respectively, not only the Merchants of China and India, but the Portugals, Spanish, Dutch, and English, have continual recourse by Shipping, bringing from thence Gold, Silver, and other Metals; Gems, Pearls, Nutmegs, Mace, Cloves, Cinnamon, Ginger, Aloes, Sugar, Canes, Pepper, Drugs,  white, red, and yellow, etc.  
Borneo, 
Borneo.  an Island of more note, and greater than any other spoken of in the Indian Seas, just under the Equator; the greatest riches whereof are, Camphire, Agarick, and Diamonds.  
Places of note therein are, Borneo, Sambas, Succadana, Benjarmassin, etc.  
Sumatra, 
Sumatra.  under the Line also, whence to the Coast of Malacca the Straight is very narrow, not above a Musquet-shot in breadth; it affords great plenty of Wax, Silk, Cottons, Ginger, Pepper, Camphire, Agarick, and Cassia; rich in Mines, not only of Tin, Iron, Sulphur, and other Minerals, but of Gold such plenty, that 'tis credibly believed this was the Ophir of Solomon. The Inhabitants are either good Artificers, cunning Merchants, or expert Mariners. The chief Sea-Towns, Achem, the Royal-Seat; Peder, Cambar, Menencabo, and Passaman.  
Java Major, rich in Corn, Metals, Gems, Silks in abundance; Pepper, Ginger, Cinnamon, and some other Spices. The chief Towns, Palambua, Sarabaya, Tuban, Dama, Charabon, Batavia, and Bantam near the Straits of Sunda, which separate Sumatra from this Island.  
This place, amongst many others, being the principal Factory of the English in all that part of the Indies.  
The King of Bantam having great correspondence with, and great affection for, his Majesty of England; whereby 'tis hoped our Factory will be better settled, and our Traffic increased in those parts, to the great advantage and profit of our English Merchants.  
Java-Minor, the South Coast whereof is not fully discovered, and the Places and Commodities only by conjecture, so also are many other Islands and Places thereabouts, as Nova Hollandia, Nova Guinea, Islas de Ladronas, etc.  
In the Indian Sea, and Mare Pacificum, which with the Coasts of America, remains only to be spoken of. That great Sea or Ocean, was first so named by Magellan, who passing through those troublesome and tempestuous Straits, that bear his name, found such a change upon his coming into this main Ocean, that he gave it the name of Mar del Zur, from the calm and peaceable temper thereof.  
California is the most Western part of America, 
America.  which is washed by this Sea, once supposed to be a part of the Continent, but since discovered to be a large Island separated from the Main by a narrow Sea called Mere Vermiglio, by some, the Gulf of California.  
Towns of trading here are few or none, at leastwise to us known; the Capes only observable, once coasted by Sir Francis Drake, as Cape Blanco and Mendocino in the North, and St. Lucas on the South, remarkable for the great Prize taken there from the Spaniards by Capt. Cavendish, in his Circum-navigation of the World.  
On the Southeast hereof are the Navigable Rivers of St. Sebastian's, Rio de Spirito Sancto, Cape Corientes; the Towns of Nativitad, 
New Spain.  pillaged and burnt by Capt. Cavendish; St. Jago, a little South of Nativitad, the Shores whereof are said to be full of Pearls.  
Acapulco the best Haven on the South Sea, in a safe and capacious Bay, with convenient Stations and Docks for shipping.  
Aguatulco a noted Port, and rich, much used in the Spanish Voyages from Mexico southward, plundered by Sir Francis Drake and Mr. Cavendish.  
Tacoante peque, Guatamalo, and St. Jago, Salvador, St. michael's, Carlos, Philippina, St. Foy, where the Spaniards melt and cast their Gold into Ingots.  
These, and indeed all the Western Shores of America, subject to the Spaniards, they being very cautious and jealous of any other Country to trade there; many of these Countries, especially the Valleys, exceeding fruitful in Fruits and other necessaries for life, the mountainous parts being barren, but plentifully supplied with never-perishing Mines of Silver and Gold; the other Merchandise being Cottons, Sugars, Indigo, Cochineel, Liquid-Amber, Mastic, Tobacco, Sulphur, Sarsaperilla, several sorts of Gums, and other Apothecary's Drugs.  
A little beyond Cape Sancta Maria, in Verugua, lieth Panama, over against Porto Bell, being the narrowest part of that long and narrow Istmos, or Straight of Land that parteth the two Peninsula's of America, Mexicana and Peruana, called the Straits of Darien, from a Town and River of the same name; in some places not twelve miles from Sea to Sea, in many not above seventeen; a small Ligament for so great a Body, observable by that notable but successless attempt of John Oxenham, an adventurous Englishman, one of Sir Francis Drak's Followers, who arriving with seventy of his Companions in a small Bark, a little above Nombre de Dios, the chief Town of the Istmos, or Mar del Nor side, drew his Ship on Land, covered it with Boughs, and guided by some Negroes, marched over-land with his Company, till he came to a River; there cut down Wood, made him a Pinnace, entered the South-Sea, went to the Isle of Pearls, took from the Spaniards 60000 pound weight of Gold, and 200000 pound weight of Silver, returned to Land; but through the mutiny of some of his own Company, was intercepted, and never returned to his Ship or Country: This Recorded by the Spanish Writers with great admiration.  
The Towns and Places on the Shores of Peru, are first Bonaventura, on a Bay so called; Cape de Francisco.  
Puerto Vego, not far from the Sea, the first Town of these Parts possessed by the Spaniard, from whence the Trade is driven betwixt Panama and Peru, where are found very rich Emeralds. 
Peru.   
Guyaquill, in a deep Bay, a noted and much frequented Empory of the Spaniards.  
Payta, a small Town, but hath the safest and most frequented Harbour in all this Country: burnt by Captain Cavendish.  
Lima, by the Spaniard called Cividad de los Reques, the most fruitful of all Peru, in the Latitude of 12 deg. and a half; a Town of greater wealth than bigness, the Riches of Peru passing yearly through it: sacked by Sir Francis Drake.  
Porto Quemado, Castro Vereyna, whence cometh that Tobacco called Right Vereynas.  
Ariquipa, where the Silver of Placa and Potosi are shipped for Panama.  
Next in Cbili are Copayago, Serena, Port val Paraiso; out of which the English under Drake took a Ship, and therein 25000 Pezoes' of the purest Gold of Baldavia.  
Conception, Auraca, Imperial, Baldavia, Osorno, Castro, the most southern Town of all Peru.  
To this Southern part of Chili, there is great expectation of an English Traffic with the Inhabitants, by reason of a disgust taken by the Natives against the Spaniards for their cruelty and infidelity.  
And, in order thereunto, his Majesty and Royal Highness the Duke of York, and several others of the Nobility, designed a farther discovery of those parts for procuring a Trade and Commerce with the People of that Country; and in the year 1669, there were two Ships sent upon the same Discovery, the one called the Sweep-stakes, under the conduct of that ingenious and venturous Commander, Capt. John Norborough; and the other the Bachelor, Capt. Humphrey Fleming Commander: Both which Ships proceeded on their Voyage till they came near the Straits of Magellan, not far from Rio St. Julian, which was the appointed place of wintering, until an opportunity presented to pass the said Straits; near which place they lost one another: whereupon the Bachelor returned home, with a strong apprehension that his Consort was lost: But on the contrary, the Sweepstakes very honourable proceeded on her Voyage, and passed through the Straits into Mar-del-zur, alias, Mare Pacificum, and sailed alongst the Coast of Chili, unto a place called Baldavia, in the latitude of 39 deg. 30 min. or thereabouts, under the power and jurisdiction of the Spaniards, who have the command thereof as far as the reach of their Guns; who at first pretended a friendship with our Men, but at last betrayed and detained four of them, which Captain Norborough very diligently endeavoured to release, but proving ineffectual, was constrained to leave them behind, and so returned back through the Straits, and in June 1671 came home, to the great satisfaction of the whole Court, giving great hopes of procuring a Trade in those Parts, that may possibly prove very advantageous to the whole Kingdom, by reason of the abundance of Gold and Silver in that Country.  
From Baldavia to the Straits of Magellan there are no Towns; the Capes of note are, Cabo de las Islas, Punta del Gado; and at the very entrance of the Straight, Cape de la Victoria, so called from Magellans' Ship first passing this way.  
The West-Entrance of the Straits of Magellan, 
Straits of Magellan.  is in 53 degrees of South Latitude; and the East-Entrance lies in 52 deg. 20 m. the length 110 leagues, and the breadth in some places two leagues over, in others not fully two miles. This place was first discovered and passed through by Ferdinando Magellan a Portugal; followed by Sir Francis Drake; afterwards it grew familiar to many Seamen.  
There is another Passage betwixt the South-Sea and Atlantick-Ocean, to the southward hereof, 
Fretum le Maire.  called Fretum le Maire, found out, Anno 1615, by Jacob le Maire, and William Cornelison Schouten, much more convenient than the former; betwixt both which the Land is called Terra del Fugo, the South Point whereof is Cape Horn; the two Lands betwixt which they sailed when first discovered, they called Statesland on the East, and on the West Mauritius-land.  
The next places of note on the main Continent, beginning at Cape Virgins, lying at the very eastermost part of the Straight Magellan, are Rio de la Cruz, where Magellan stayed two months.  
Rio St. Julian, Port Desire, Rio de las Comarones', Cape Rotundo, Cape St. Antonio, at the Mouth of Rio de la Plata, a large River, and of so violent a stream, that the Sea, for many leagues together, altereth not its taste.  
On the North hereof is Brasil, 
Brasil.  possessed chief by the Portugals; a Country abounding with exceeding plenty of the best Sugars; that and the great quantity of Redwood used for the dying of Cloth, being the chief Commodities hereof.  
The places of note, are Santos, St. Vincents, Saint Sebastian, at the Mouth of Rio Janeiro, Spirito Sancto, Porto Seguro, To does los Santos, Salvador, Olinda on the River Meragnon, Cape Blanco, Pernambuco, and Augustine the eastermost part of America.  
Paraiba, on the River so called; Rio de Grand, Para, Rio de amazons, a River full of Islands at the entrance, broad and of a long course, the discoveries whereof are not fully made.  
Places to the northward are Caripo, memorable for a Colony of the English there planted by Captain Robert Harcourt, 1608. on the Bank of Wiapoco.  
The River Oronoque, and Sorenam, on a River so called, in the Country of Guiana, 
Guiana.  not long since a thriving Plantation of the English, lately delivered into the hands of the Dutch, yielding Sugars, Cottons, Tobacco, Wood for Dyers, and some other Commodities.  
St. Thoma, the only Town of Guiana inhabited by the Spaniard.

Next Darien, near the Straight of Land so called, on the Bank of the River Uraba.  
Nombre de Dios, 
Nombre de Dios.  conveniently seated on the upper Sea for a Town of Trade, whither the Spaniards brought their Goods from Spain for Panama, and from Panama for Spain; taken also by Sir Francis Drake.  
St. Philip's, situate on a safe and strong Haven called Porto Bell, built in this place by the command of King Philip the Second, to be the Staple of Trade betwixt Spain and Panama, instead of Nombre de Dios, where it was before; removed partly because of the unwholesome Air of Nombre de Dios, but chief because that Town lay too open to the English Invasions; fortified with two strong Castles on each side of the Haven, yet for all that, Surprised and Pillaged by Captain Parker, Anno 1601.  
Baya de Cartago, Cape de Honduras, Porto de Sal, Porto de Cavallos the most noted Haven in the Gulf of Honduras; whence compassing the Peninsula of Yucatan by Cape de Cotoche, 
Gulf of Mexico.  the great Bay or Gulf of Mexico openeth itself; the Ports and Places of the Shores whereof were heretofore little frequented, unless by the Spaniard: in these later times, and since the Plantation of Jamaica by the English, something better, though yet not much known.  
The chief, and almost the only place, is Lavera Cruz, the next Port Town to the great City of Mexico, from which it is distant about sixty leagues.  
The Traffic and Commodities of these Eastern parts of America being the same with those on the Shores and Coasts of Mar del Zur, spoken of before.  
Northeastward hereof lieth the Coast of Florida; betwixt which, and the Coasts of Guiana, before treated of, lie scattered up and down the Sea a great number of Islands, some greater, some lesser, viz.  
Cuba, Hispaniola, Jamaica, Porto Rico, the Caribes, and Lucayos.  
Cuba a large Island, 
Cuba.  in length from Cape Magesi near Hispaniola, to Cape St. Antonio, 230 leagues; a fertile Soil, liberally stored with Ginger, Cassia, Mastic, Aloes, Sugar, etc.  
Ports of most note, St. Jago, Salvador, Sancta Cruz, Sancto Spirito, Trinidad, Port del Principe, Baracoa, Matanca, and the Havana, a noted and well-traded Port, so strongly situate and fortified, both by Nature and Art, that it seems impregnable.  
Hispaniola, 
Hispaniola.  a large Island also, but not so big as Cuba, a plentiful and pleasant Country, once abounding in Gold, but long since exhausted; it affords Ginger and Sugar in abundance.  
The Ports worthy observation, St. Domingo, the Residence of the Governor, not yet recovered of the Damage done by Sir. Francis Drake, St. Salvador, Inguana, or Sancta Maria del Porto, Porto de la Plata, Azua or Compostella, etc.  
Jamaica, 
Jamaica.  on the South of Cuba, from whence distant twenty leagues or thereabouts, and not much more from Hispaniola; formerly possessed by the Spaniard, not many years ago taken by the English, who therein have began a gallant Plantation; the wholesomeness of the Air, and fertility of the Soil, giving great hopes (if not assurance) of a continued increase and improvement thereof, to the encouragement of such as are already there, or others that shall hereafter transport themselves thither. Merchandise of their own growth, are Tobacco, Sugar, Cotton, Ginger, Indigo, and several sorts of Woods serviceable for Dyers and others. Places of note are Sevilla, Melilla, Oristan, Punta Nigrilla, Port Royal, Port Moranto, Aguia, etc.  
Porto Rico, 
Porto Rico.  something Mountainous, but indifferent fruitful, exposed sometimes to those sudden and troublesome Tempests, called Hurricanes, as are the rest of these places hereabout. The Commodities, Ginger, Sugar, Cassia, and Hides; the European  so increasing in most of these Islands, that they have grown wild by reason of their multitude; the inhabitants of many of the places killing thousands for their Skins only, leaving their flesh as a prey to ravenous Creatures. Places of note are, Porto Rico, Arezibo, Luysa, etc.  
The Caribes, or Cannibal Islands, so called in general, because at first discovery inhabited by Cannibals, or Man-eating people, as the word imports; extended in the Sea like a Bow, of different temper and quality; the principal are these, Margerita, Trinidada, 
Caribbe Islands.  Granada, Granadilla, St. Lucy's, St. Vincent, Barbadoes, a flourishing Colony and Plantation of the English, well peopled; the Soil in show like England but more fruitful; furnished on the South side with a large and commodious Haven, driving a great Trade in Tobacco, Sugar, Cotton, Ginger, Indigo, and Logwood, etc.  
Next Martinico, Dominico, Mary-gallant, Dissedea, Guardalupe, Antego, Barbada, Mountserat, St. Christopher's, Nevis, St. martin's, St. Bartholomew, Anguilla, Sancta Cruz, and many others of less note.  
The Lucaios are Mayaguana, Sumana, Yumeta, Yuma, 
Lucaioes'  Guanabani, Cygnateo, Lucanceque and Bahama, memorable for giving name to the violent Current interposing betwixt it and the demi Island of Florida, of so forcible a course, that no strength of Wind or Oars can prevail against it, (as is commonly reported).  
Florida was first discovered by the English, 
Florida.  under the command of Sebastian Cabot, Anno 1497. so called by John de Ponte, afterwards from the fresh verdure and flourishing estate in which he found it: The Ports are Sancta Lucia, St. Augustine, St. Matthews, Port Royal, Cape Fear, Port Charles, and St. Helen's, which three lie near the borders of Virginia.  
Virginia, a gallant Plantation of the English, 
Virginia  having many excellent properties above other Nations, as the temperature of the Air, fruitfulness of the Soil, commodiousness of situation; many great and navigable Rivers, and safe and spacious Harbours. The first discovery hereof by the two Cabots, Father and Son, Anno 1497. did first entitle the Crown of England to this Country, who still possess it, having there a large and flourishing Plantation. The chief Trade, besides other Commodities, is Tobacco, where there is such abundance, that no place affordeth more, or of better quality. The Rivers are, James River, York River, Potomac, Rapabanock, Elizabeth River, Wicomococo, and many others, all falling into the great Bay called CHESAPEACH.  
The two Capes, at the entrance whereof are Cape Henry, and Cape Charles. Towns of most note are, James-Town, the Seat of the Governor, and many others.  
Eastward of Virginia lieth the Isles of Burmudes, so called from John Bermudes a Spaniard, by whom it was first discovered: Also called the Summer Islands, from Sir George Summer, who there suffered shipwreck; there are several of them, altogether making a body in form of a Crescent, and enclose very good Ports, as those of Southampton, Harrington, and Pagets. The Air is almost always serene, very healthful, agreeing well with English bodies, who have here at divers times settled and established a fair and powerful Colony. The healthfulness of the place inviting that famous Mathematitian Mr. Richard Norwood, once Reader of Gresham College in London, to make his abode here. Cochaneil and Tobacco, with some Pearls, Amber, and fair Oranges being their principal Riches, for which they have a good Trade.  
To the North-east of Virginia lieth Mary-land, 
Maryland.  and New-England, a Country bravely situate, and very agreeable to English bodies. The Soil exceeding fruitful of Nature's necessities, even to excess; supplied also with many large and capacious Bays and Rivers. The Commodities, besides store of Flesh and Corn sent abroad, are Furs, Amber, Flax, Hemp, Cedar, Pitch, Tar, 
New England  Masts, Cables, and Timber for Shipping and other uses; in a word, whatsoever comes to England from the Sound, might be as well supplied from hence.  
The chiefest Places are New-York, seated on the great River Manhattans, or Hudsons' River, near its fall into the Ocean, and not far from the Isle Mattowacks, or Long-Island, over against the East end whereof the River Connecticot falleth into the Sea.  
The next Boston, Barnstaple, New-Plimouth, near unto which is that observable hooked Point of Land named Cape Cod, with several others: And St. George's Fort, built by the English, at the Mouth of the River Sagahadar.  
Adjoining hereunto lieth Nova Scotia, 
Nova Scotia.  Nova Francia, or Canadie, and the small Peninsula, called Accadia, betwixt the Bay of St. Laurence; where the great River Canada falleth into the Gulf and the main Sea. The noted places are Port Royal, St. Luke's, Port au Montou, Gaspe, Gachepe, St. Croiz, Franco Roy, and St. Lewis. The Commodities are chief Furs, etc.  
Not far to the eastward hereof, lieth the Isle of Sables.  
At the most Eastern part of America Septentrionalis, lieth Newfoundland, 
Newfoundland.  an Island separated from the Main, or Terra Corterialis, by a Frith or Strait, called Gulf de Casteaux, furnished on the Sea-Coast with abundance of Codfish, and other Fish; for the catching of which, Ships of many countries' frequent that place; having also many large and convenient Havens, as Rennosa, Fair-Haven, Thornbay, Trinity-Bay, Bonavist, Whitebay, Port Trespass, St. George's Bay, St. Jones, etc. The Air of this Country never very extreme, more temperate in the depth of Winter than with us in England, the Brooks being never so frozen over that the Ice is able to bear a Dog; and those little Frosts but seldom holding three nights together.  
Before the Island lieth that long Bank, extending in length some hundred of leagues; near to which are many little Islands, called by John Cabot, Bacalos, peculiar now to one only, from the numerous multitude of Codfish which swarmed hereabout. Betwixt Cape de Gumay in Terra Corterialis, and the Capes Farewell and Desolation, near Groenland, lieth the two Sraits, named Fretum Davis, 
Fretum Davis. Fretum Hudson.  and Fretum Hudson, so called from the first Discoverers; a Sea dilating itself much both towards the North, South, and West, giving great Hopes thereby of a Passage to China, and the East-Indies: And therefore notwithstanding the Ice, Fogs, and other Encumbrances searched into by many English Worthies, as Frobrsher, Davis, Weymouth, Hudson, Button, Baffin, Smith, James, Gillam, and others, who have sailed therein, some one way, and some another, and given names to many places, viz. King James his Cape, Queen-Ann's Cape, Prince Henry's Foreland, Saddel Island, Barren Island, Redgoose Island, Digs his Island, Hackluits Headland, Smith's Bay, Prince rupert's River, Maudlin Sound, Fair-haven, and many others, even from James his Bay on the South, at the bottom whereof Hudson wintered in the latitude of 51 degrees, to Baffins' Bay on the North, lying in the latitude of 79 degrees; and to the westward, as far as Port Nelson, where Sir Thomas Button wintered, being more westerly than Mr. Hudsons' Bay by 190 leagues; and near as far towards the West as Cape California in Mar del Zur, where finding the Tide continually to rise every twelve hours fifteen foot or more, and that a West Wind did make the Neap Tides equal to the Spring Tides; finding also the Tides to set sometimes eastwards, sometimes westwards, gave good hope to Mr. Hubard (who made the Plate thereof) of a through Passage, called therefore Hubards' Hope.  
And in the year 1667, a very honourable and worthy Design was renewed, and undertaken for the discovery of this North-West Passage, and settling a Trade with the Indians in those Parts, by several of the Nobility of England, and divers Merchants of note belonging to the City of London, who fitted out two small Vessels for that purpose, the one called the Nonsuch Catch, Captain Zachariah Gillam Commander, the other the Eaglet Catch, Captain Staniard Commander; the latter whereof being by stormy Wether beaten back, returned home without success; but the other proceeding on her Voyage, in her way made the Land of Buss, lying betwixt Iseland and Groenland; passed through Hudsons' Straits, then into Baffins' Bay; from thence southerly into the Great Bay, where in the latitude of fifty one degrees, or thereabouts, in a River now called rupert's River, he wintered, found a friendly correspondence and civil entertainment with the Natives, traded with them in exchange of Bever-Skins, etc. for Knives, Beads, Looking-Glasses, Hatchets, and other trivial Commodities, and the next year returned with good success, and future hopes of an excellent Trade in those parts, giving invitation thereby to the aforesaid Noblemen and Merchants to adventure again, Anno 1669. Which Voyage being not yet performed, leaves us ignorant both of the Places and Trade thereof (save what is already known) undiscovered, till the conclusion of the Voyage.  
Groenland, called by the Natives Secanunga, 
Groenland.  is that last part of America, which remains only to be spoken of; a Country, as is supposed, but thinly inhabited, and by reason of the abundance of Ice, and inhospitableness of the People, little frequented, and consequently not so well known, as to give a perfect description thereof; for notwithstanding several Voyages have been made thither on purpose, many Ships have accidentally touched upon the Coasts thereof in pursuance of the N. W. Discoveries; yet for the causes aforesaid, the Country lies still obscured in a Northern Mist, being to us almost altogether unknown, unless the names of certain Bays; Capes, and such like, as Whale-sound, Horn-sound, Rombels-ford, Conningham, Gilberts-sound, Cocking-ford, Cape Comfort, Cape Desolation, all within the Straight; Cape Farewell, Cape Discord, Leister-point, Warwick-Foreland, Hernolds-Ness, Bereford, not far from the West part of Iseland, and several others.  
Southwestward from Iseland, about 140 leagues, lieth an Island called Buss, 
Buss.  in the latitude of 57 degrees 35 minutes, not yet fully discovered, but only as it hath been accidentally seen by some, who upon other Discoveries have occasionally passed those Seas, as Captain Gillam in his first Voyage to the North-West Passage had Soundings near unto it.  
From Iseland, about 135 leagues North-eastwards, in the latitude of seventy one degrees, lieth an Island called Trinity Island, 
Trinity Island.  the North-East Point whereof is named Youngs-Foreland, a place formerly much frequented by the Dutch for their Whalefishing; the Land is very high, full of Rocks and Mountains, one especially much higher than the rest, called Bears Mountain.  
Thus briefly have I touched at, and as it were, only named the Seacoasts of most of the known Parts of the World, which may serve as an entrance to the succeeding Sea-Atlas, commending the Discovery of such parts as are yet unknown to the search of Posterity.   

The Discoveries that have been made within this two hundred years, by the Worthies of our own Nation, as well as Strangers.  
CHristopher Columbus the Genoes', first determinately attempted to seek after, and in the year 1492 prosperously discovered the great Cominent of America.  
John Cabot a Venetian, and his Son Sir Sebastian, born in England, succeeded Columbus in that famous Attempt, and discovered all the North Coasts thereof, from Cape Florida to Newfoundland.  
But Americus Vesputius, in discovering some of the South Parts thereof, obtained the honour of having the whole Continent called by his Name America.  
Ferdinando Magellan, Anno 1519. was the first that found out that Straight towards the Antarctic Pole, which gives a Passage between Mar del Zur and the Atlantic Ocean, called by his Name, Fretum Magellanicum.  
Mr. Richard Chancellor first found out the Passage by Sea to Russia, Anno 1550.  
Sir Hugh Willoughby first discovered Greenland, or King James his New-Land; attempted to find the North-East Passage to Cathay and China, Anno 1553, but in his return was frozen to death.  
Mr. Stephen Burroughs attempted the like Passage, anno 1556. discovered several places in Russia, Nova Zembla, and thereabout, to his lasting memory.  
Sir Francis Drake, that adventurous and valiant English Worthy, after a Voyage first made to Number de Dios, and other parts of the West Indies, in the years 1572, and 1573, having then only a sight of the South Sea, renewed in himself a noble desire of sailing therein; and after some hindrances at home, in Service of his Prince and Country, anno 1577, by gracious Commission from his Sovereign, and the help of divers Friends, Adventurers, fitted himself with five Ships for his intended design, and passing through the Straits of Magellan, made many rare Discoveries there, and on the West of America; sailed thence through the South Sea to the East Indies, and steering homeward by the Cape of Good Hope, after two years and ten months spent in that Circum-navigation of the World, and many excellents Achievements and Discoveries there performed, that worthy Knight, and most noble Neptune, happily returned to Plymouth whence he first set forth. Other Voyages be made sometime afterwards to the main Continent of America, and the Islands thereof, wherein were taken by that English Hero, the City of St. Jago, Sancto Domingo, Cartagena, with the Fort and Town of St. Augustine in Florida.  
Mr. Tho. Cavendish not long after followed the trace of Sir Francis through the Straits of Magellan, encompassed the whole circumference of the Terrestrial Globe, in the year 1587., and prosperously returned (laden with honour and applause) into his Native Country.  
Several famous Men among the Netherlanders have also, to their lasting credit, encompassed this Globe of Earth and Sea, as Olivier van de Nort, Isaac le Maire, and William Cornelison Schouten, who according to their several Courses and Voyages, made discoveries not to be forgotten by Posterity.  
Sir Martin Frobisher, Anno 1576, attempted the North-West Passage, sailed to the latitude of 62 degrees, found that great Inlet, since known by his Name, Furbishers Straits.  
Mr. Arthur Pett, and Mr. Charles Jackman, Anno 1580, went out in two Ships for the discovery of the River Ob, and a Passage to China, arrived at Vaigats, passed the Straits, took particular observation along the East Part of Nova Zembla, the North of Russia and Samoeds' Country, so far as the Ice would give him leave.  
Sir Humphrey Gilbert, Anno 1583, going for Discovery of the North of America, came into the great River St. Laurence in Canada, settled the Government of the Fishing there.  
Master John Davis attempted the discovery of the North-West Passage, anno 1585.; came into the latitude of 66 degrees, plied alongst the Coast, observed the probability of a Passage there, and in the end of the year returned.  
The next year went again for a further Discovery, found a great Inlet betwixt the latitude of 55 and 56 degrees; Traded with the People of the Place, and so returned.  
In the year 1587., he took a third Voyage for discovery of those Parts, followed his course to the North and North-West, as far as the latitude of 76 degrees, having the Continent on the West, and Groenland (which he named Desolation) on the East; and passing on to the latitude of 86 degrees, the Passage enlarged itself so, that he could not see the Western Shoar; then he altered his course southerly to the latitude of 73 degrees, in a great Sea free from Ice, of an unreasonable depth; and by reason of the departure of two Ships which he left a Fishing, he returned home. This Passage (as he was the first Discoverer) he called by his own name, Fretum Davis.  
The Discovery of these Lands, Coasts, Islands, Straits, Havens, Bayes, Rivers, etc. with the Commodities and Advantages arising from the same, in a Treatise of his own, called the World's Hydrographical Description, with his yearly Reporteries and Journals, may more largely appear.  
Mr. Stephen Bennet first discovered Cherry Island, Anno 1603. at the Charge of Sir Francis Cherry, and therefore beareth his name.  
Mr. Henry Hudson, Anno 1608, was sent to discover towards the North Pole, came to the latitude of 81 degrees, attempted the North-East Passage in two Voyages; performed one worthy discovery to the North-West into a great Bay called by his own name hudson's Bay.  
Ionas Pool and Thomas Edge, made a Voyage Northerly toward the Pole, first began the Whale killing in Greenland; to the eastward whereof Mr. Edge found another Island, called by his own name, Edges Island.
