Saird. ^dly. That a S. by E. Moon makes 

 . High- Water on all that Coaft, the Flood 

 coming from the Southward : hence it will 

 follow, that that Day it was High-Water 

 there about Eight in the Morning, and con- 

 fequently Low-Water about Two, wherefore 

 by Three the Tide of Flood was well made

 much about Weft from Calais^ and not more

 thought the Africus or S.W. Wind proper for 

 his paflage, which was then intended for the 

 place where he firft Landed the year before. 



7. Juftly to determine which the J^onus hi-

 Ptolemy calls the Promontory of Calais-CUffi 

 by the name of ''i^^/of' m^pv^ whence there is
