English: Caption: Thou hast here gentle reader a true hydrographical description of so much of the world as hath beene hetherto discouered, and is comme to our knowledge. which we haue in such sort performed, yt all places herein set downe, haue the same positions and distances that they haue in the globe, being therin placed in same longitudes and latitudes which they haue in this chart, which by the ordinarie sea-chart can in no wise be performed. The way to find the position, or course from any place to other herein described, differeth nothing from that which is vsed in the ordinarie sea chart. But to finde the distance; if both places haue the same latitude, see how many degrees of the meridian taken at that latitude are contayned betweene the two places, for so many score leagues is the distance. If they differ in latitude, see howe many degrees of the meridian taken about the midst of that difference are conteyned betweene; them and so many score leagues is the distaunce. Elsewhere: "I haue contented my self with inserting into the worke one of the best generall mappes of the world onely, untill the comming out of a very large and most exact terrestrial Globe, collected and reformed according to the newest, secretest, and latest discoveries, both Spanish, Portugall, and English, composed by M. Emmerie Mollineux of Lambeth, a rare Gentleman in his profession, being therein for divers yeeres, greatly supported by the purse and liberalitie of the worshipfull marchant M. William Sanderson." A map of the world by the mathematical adaptation of the Mercator Projection computed by Edward Wright and used to flatten the information on the c. 1592 globe made by Emery Molyneux and thus generally known as the Wright–Molyneux Map. Possibly charted in 1599, published in 1600 as an addendum to Vol. I of the 2nd edition of Richard Hakluyt's Principall Nauigations... |

Thou hast here gentle reader a true hydrographical description of so much of the world as hath
beene hetherto discouered, and is comme to our knowledge. which we haue in such sort performed, yt
all places herein set downe, haue the same positions and distances that they haue in the globe, being ther⸗
in placed in same longitudes and latitudes which they haue in this chart, which by the ordinarie sea⸗
chart can in no wise be performed. The way to find the position, or course from any place to
other herein described, differeth nothing from that which is vsed in the ordinarie sea cha⸗
⸗rt. But to finde the distance; if both places haue the same latitude, see how many degrees of
the meridian taken at that latitude are contayned betweene the two places, for so many score
leagues is the distance. If they differ in latitude, see howe many degrees of the meridian
taken about the midst of that difference are conteyned betweene; them and so many score
leagues is the distaunce.
By the discouerie of Sr Francis Drake made in the yeare
1577. the streights of Magellane (as they are comonly
called) seeme to be nothing els but broken land and Ilands
and the southwest coast of America called Chili was
found, not to trend to the northwestwards as it hath beene
described but to the eastwards of the north as it is heere
set downe: which is also confired by the voyages and
discoueries of Pedro Sarmiēto and Mr Tho: Candish Ao 1587.

DROIT
It appeareth by the discouerie of Francis Gaulle
a Spaniard, in the.yeare 1584: that the sea betwe⸗
⸗ene the west part of America and the east of Asia
(which hath bene ordinarily set out as a straight
and named in most maps the streight of Anian) is
aboue 1200 leagues wide at the latitude of 38 degr.
And that the distance betweene cape Mendocino and
cape California which many maps and searcharts
make to be 1200. or 1300. leagues is scarce so much as. 600
