OF how great use and necessity is the Compass to Sea-men? Though they can coast a little way by the Shore, yet they dare not venture far into the Ocean without it. Its their Guide, and directs and shapes their Course for them: And if by the violence of Wind and Weather they be driven beside their due Course, yet by the help of this, they are reduced and brought to Rights again. It is wonderful to consider, how by the help of this Guide they can run in a direct Line many hundred Leagues, and at last fall right with the smallest Island; which is in the Ocean, comparatively, but as the head of a small Pin upon a Table.
