Touching the Extent of these Regions newly discovered, grounding my Judgment on that which I have seen with mine own Eyes, and upon that which Captain _Lewes Paez de Terres_ Admiral of my Fleet, hath represented unto your Majesty, the Length thereof is as great as all _Europe_ and _Asia the Less_, unto the Sea of _Bachu_, _Persia_, and all the Isles, as well of the Ocean, as of the _Medeterranean_ Sea, taking _England_ and _Island_ into this Account. This unknown Country is the Fifth part of the Terrestrial Globe, and extendeth it self to such Length, that in probability it is twice greater in Kingdoms and Seignories, than all that which at this Day doth acknowledge Subjection and Obedience unto your Majesty. These Regions know no Neighbourhood either of _Turks_ or _Moors_, or of any other Nation which attempteth War upon confining Countries. The Land which we have discovered is all seated within the _Torrid Zone_, and a great Tract thereof reacheth unto the Equinoctial Circle, which is elevated unto them to 90 Degrees above the Horizon, and in some Places a little less. And if the Success prove answerable unto the Hopes, there will be found _Antipodes_ unto the better part of _Africk_, unto all _Europe_, and to the greater Portion of _Asia_. But you must observe, that as the Countries which we have discover'd in 15 Degrees of Latitude, are better than _Spain_, so the other which are opposed to their Elevation, must by Proportion and Analogy prove some Terrestrial Paradise.
