Having thus given the Reader a general view of the whole, it 
may not be amifs, to acquaint him with feme particularities to

explication of the Proportion to be obferved in the building of 
Ships from 60 feet by the Keel, to Ships of 140 feec ; and like- 
wife of the proportion to be obferved for Men of War , from 
400 Tuns upwards to 2000 Tuns 5 together with a Table to find 
the proportions for Men of War of the feveral rates, and for the

4* A particular Difcourfe of the General motion of the Sea, 
which this Author, amongfl many others,affirms to be from Eaft 
to Weft, inclining towards the North when the Sun hath pafTed 
the Equinoftial Northward ; and char, during the time the Sun 
is in the Northern Signs; but the contrary way , after the Sun 
hath repaired the faid Equinodiial Southward : Adding, that 
when this general motion is changed, the diurnal flux is changed 
likewife; whence it comes to pafs, that the Tides in divers 
places come-in during one part of the year,and go out the other; 
as on the coafts of Norway in the hdies^ at Goa^ Cochin^hma.^c. 
where whilft the Sun is in the Summer-figns , the Sea runs to the 
llioar, when in the Winter-figns, from it. On the moft Southern 
coafts of Tunquimvid China y for the fix Suma)er* months the di- 
urnal courfe runs from the North with the Ocean ^ but the Sun 
having repaffed the Line towards the South, the Courfe declines 
alfo Southward. Thofe that fail from the coaft of jPer/^ Weft- 
ward, when the Sun is in the Equinodtial , have the Winds and 
Tides direftly from Eaft to Weft, between the Tropicks, and in 
a little time Ships arrive from the Mi?/»f^«<ri to P^r^/ But when 
the Sun is in the Northern figns, the courfe of the Sea and the 
Wind tends Northward : And the Sun being in his greateft de- 
clination, in the Tropick of Qamer^ the Winds and Tides of the 
Eaft extend themfelves unto the 3 A degree of Northern Lati- 
tude, and fometimes further. On the contrary, thofe that fail in 
the Southern Hemifphere, are obliged to approach to the Line 
to meet the Eaftern Winds. Again, when the Sun hath pnifed the 
Line South ward, the Eaftern Winds and Tides extend themfelves 
unto the \zth degree of Somhirn Latitude ; and therefore thofe
