B ^Lthough at the firilitwasmyon- 
Mjly intent to fet downe the voyages 
1^9and courfesof theoriental coalts, 
Iflands.and countries oftheEafl: parts, with 
fome other Nauigations,of the places ther= 
about*,with the fituations thereof,as I haue 
already declared: notwithftanding,for that 
among other my Records, 1 haue found the 
Nauigations of all the Hauens,Riuers, and 
Points of thecoaft of Brafilia 3 and the voi- 
ages of the Tortmgales vnto the fame.cogc- 
thcr with the courfcs,ftretchings, and fitua¬ 
tions of the Antillesot forelfUndsof new 
Spaigne, together with all the channels that 
runne bctwccnc them, and the Hausns,;is 
well of the aforefaid Iflands as of the Firroc 
Land of new5/’«t?V»e,andlikewifeof theo- 
therfideof thccoaft of Angola or JErhio - 
pi* , I thought it not vneonuement to fet 
them downe in this place , althoughitbec 
much different, and from the matter taken 
in hand. Touching the orientall parts, ne- 
uerthelefle, bccaufe it is vnknownetoour 
countrimcn,3salfo commonly failed by the 
Tortingales and Spaniards, whok voyages 
and traucls 1 haue herein onely fet downe, 
it will not bee out of the matter, but rather 
very nccefiary to beioynedtherevnto,and 
as I thinke will bee wel accepted,and eflee- 
medoff, infomuch, as that at this time, our 
countrey men doc vfe to Traffickeandtra- 
ucll into thofe countries, hoping it will bee 
anoccafion of further incrcafing and aug¬ 
menting of their trauels, to the honour, 
praife, and glory of the Gofpell of Chrift, 
and all Chnflian Princes, and to the enri¬ 
ching and welfare of the Low countries.
