14. Whereby, each Parallel totbe Equator/ asLyf) 
was repreieiited in the Sea-Chart, (zs la J as equal to 
the Equator EE- and. a degree of Loagltude therein, 
as large as in the Eqaator 
If. By this mean?, each :k : f?e of Lonfritude in Itich 
Parallels, was iocreai^d, b-yond its joft proportion, at 
luch rate as the Eq ja nr (or its Radius) greater than 
fuch Parallel, (or tbr iius thereof. j 
16. But, in the OIu o .»=-Charrs, the degrees of La- 
titude were yet reprefeut: d fas they are in themfelves) 
equal to each other; ands to tiiofe of the Equator. 
17. Hereby, amongft many other lucouveriieuceSs 
fas Mr. Edward Wright obferves, m his Ca^rreBion of Er- 
rors in Navigation^ firft publillied in the year 
the reprefentation of places remote frc 'li the Equator^ 
was fo diftorted in thole Cha^rts, that (for mltancej 
an IJland in the Latitude of <5o degrees, f where the 
Radius of the Parallel is bat half lo great as that of 
the Equator,) would have its Length (from Eaft to = 
WeftJ in comparifon of its Breadth ("from North to 
South) reprefented in a double proportion of what in- 
deed it is. 
18. For redifying this in fome meafure (andoffome 
other inconveniences,) Mr. Wright advifeth; that(the^ 
Meridians remaining Parallel, as before) the degrees of 
Latitude, remote from the Equator, fhould at each Pa- 
rallel, be protra(5led in like proportion with thofe of 
Longitude. 
19. That is; As the Co-Sine of Latitude f which is 
the Semidiameter of theParallelJ to the Radius of the 
Globe, (which is chat of the Equator : ) fo fhould be a 
degree of Latitude (which is every where equal to a 
degree of Longitude in the Equator,) to fuch degree 
of Latitude lo protraded (at luch diftance from the 
Equator J and fo to be reprefented in the Chart. 
20. That is 5 every where, in fuch proportion as is
