"Of East, and West, what more can be spoken? To places parallel, the Sunne neither riseth, nor falleth. When it approacheth the South with us, (being about noone-tide) then is it said to fall, by the Easterne people; and contrariwise, then to rise by the Southerne. And therefore, as well to reconcile the doubts of the Ancients, as to satisfie the Curious, in these unrevealed workes of God, and his servant Nature; the Moderne Cosmographers have beene bold to suppose the finite limitation of the East, to determine in the Islands of the Molucca; and of the West in the Hesperides. For herein (say they) standeth the centre of the Globe, the Meridian of both Islands being 180 degrees distant one from another. On the other halfe of the Globe lieth America, divided from either angle by so immensible a tract of Sea, that it deserveth by it selfe, peculiar Bounds of East and West. As for that great Globe (commonly termed Australia) I had rather say with Bodin, That as yet, it is better set forth for shew than for certainty."
