The Embassy of Sir Thomas Roe to the Court of the Great Mogul 3.4.3

3.4.3

August 5. — Till noone the 5th day wee did not alter yt, yet we runn 16 leaugs, but raysed not aboue 10 Minnitts; wherby I gather we had a tyde setting 6 howers W.S.W. and backe E.N.E., by which wee raysed and altered litle. August 10. — In the Morning we repast the Equinoctiall. August 14. — In the Morninge wee saw the Coast of Magadoxo in 4° N. latitude 4 leagues off; sounding had 18 fadome of Lowe Land, whyte sandye bankes. Then wee stood off E.N.E. The difference of longitude betweene the mayne and Molalia in Mercators proiection agreeing with our Account and alsoe by course hauinge found the longitude of Cape Santa Augustine and Molalia to be one, I conclude that Saint Lawrance ought to be layde to the E. 39 or 40 leaugs, according to my first opinion, and all the Coast of the Mayne beeing broader then it is layde in the Carde must be also sett in proportion to the Eastward: because the distance of Longitude is right from one to the other, though all their longitude falce in themselues.
