and bigger then the other two : and to know whether you 

 be entred into the chanell, marke well how the coast lyeth 

 off you ; and if you perceive that the coast beareth off 

 you East and West, you are not in the chanell ; but if 

 the coast should beare off you Northeast and Southwest, 

 then are you in the chanell ; and taking your heigth 

 you shall know : for if you finde your selfe in 24. 

 degrees and |-, then are you East and West with the 

 head of The Martires : and if you see the coast beare off 

 you Northeast and Southwest, (as I have sayde) stir 

 away 4. or 5. leagues from the landward right off; and 

 then stir away Northeast: and being in 28. degrees and a 

 halfe, you shall be shot out of the chanell, and then shall 

 you be East and West with Cape de Cannaveral, or 

 The Cape of Reedes. 



The course to come through the chanell of Bahama 

 homeward for Spaine. 



IF in Winter you should passe through the chanell of 

 Bahama for Spaine, stirre away the first Sangradura 

 or course Eastnortheast, and afterward East and by 

 North, and so shall you passe by the South side of 

 Bermuda : and you must take heede that you goe these 

 foure hundred or five hundred leagues, because you shall 

 not come neere the said Isle of Bermuda; & when 

 you are gone this course, then put your selfe in what 

 heigth you will, and make your way as you will your 

 selfe. But if you passe the chanell in the Summer time 

 towards Spaine, stir away Eastnortheast, and you shall 

 passe by the North side of Bermuda ; and when you have 

 brought your selfe in 35. degrees, stirre East and by North 

 untill you bring your selfe to 25. degrees and |^, and from 

 thence stir away East for the Isle of Fayal or of Flores. 



Markes to know the Isle of Fayal. 



THe Island called Fayal upon the Southwest side, 

 maketh an high hill or loafe like to the top of 

 Brasilia in the Island of Terzera ; and behinde that
