Exempel

• The ninth of Aprill wee croſt the Tropick of Cancer, of like diſtance from the Æquator...
• For all parts of the earth’s ſurface with the bodies thereto adjacent revolve in the ſame time either in the æquator or in circles parallel thereto; but the æquator is the largeſt of all thoſe circles, and the others grow leſs and leſs as they are more and more diſtant from the æquator.
• On the other side of the Azores, and this side of the æquator, the north point of the needle wheeleth to the west; so that in the lat. 36, near the shore, the variation is about 11 gr., but on the other side of the æquator, it is quite otherwise, for in Brasilia the south point varies 12 gr. unto the west, but elongating from the coast of Brasilia toward the shore of Africa it varies eastward, and arriving at the Cape De las Aguillas, it rests in the meridian and looketh neither way.
