And so followeth Spayne, France, Flanders, Almaine, Denmarke, and Norway , which is the highest parte toward the North. And over against Flanders are our Islands of England and Ireland . Of the landes and coastes within the streights I have set out onely the Regions, dividing them by lines of their limits, by which plfrom Portingal to the Cape is 1800 leagues, and from this Cape to the Islands of Spicerie of the Emperour is 2500. leagues. So that this navigation amounteth all to 4300. leagues. So that (as afore is sayd,) if between our New found lands or Norway , or Island, the seas toward the North be navigable, we should goe to these Islands a shorter way by more then 2000. leagues. And though we went not to the sayd Islandes, for that they are the Emperours or kings of Portingal, wee shoulde by t

The very same day in the afternoone, about foure of the clocke, so great a tempest suddenly arose, and the Seas were so outragious, that the sepulchre. Nowe Richard Chanceler with his shippe and company being thus left alone, and become very pensive, heavie, and sorowfull, by this dispersion of the Fleete, hee (according to the order before taken,) shapeth his course for Wardhouse in Norway , there to expect and abide the arrivall of the rest of the shippes. And being come thither, and having stayed there the space of 7. dayes, and looked in vaine for their comming, hee determined at length to proceede alone in the purposed voyage.

And the same day in the afternoone appeared over our heads a rainebow, like a semicircle, with both ends upwarde.
