Summary
Because you may vnderstand as well those things alleaged against mee, as what doth serue for my purpose, I haue here added the reasons of [M. Anthonie IenkinsonJ a woorthie gentleman, and a great traueller, who concerned a better hope of the passage to Cataia from vs, to be by the Northeast, then by the Northwest.
He first said that hee thought not to the contrary, but that there was a passage by the Northwest, according to mine opinio: but assured he was that there might be found a Nauigable passage by the Northeast from England, to goe to the East parts of the world, which he endeuoured to procure three wayes.
The first was that he heard a Fisherman of Tartaria say in hunting the Morce, that he sailed very farre towards the Southeast, finding no ende of the Sea: whereby he hoped a thorow passage to be that way.
Whereunto I answered, that the Tartarians were a barbarous people, and vtterly ignorant in the Arte of Nauigation, not knowing the vse of the Sea Carde, Compasse or Starre, which hee confessed true: and therefore they could not (said I) certainly know the Southeast from the Northeast, in a wide sea, and a place vnknowen from the sight of the land.
