Dee: We beseech you to bound or determine the countries or portions of earth, by their uttermost Longitudes and Latitudes, or by some other certain manners.
Nalvage: ...... Our manner is, not as it is of worldlings: We determine not places after the forms of legs, or as leaves are: neither we can imagin any thing after the fashion of an [Dee] horn: asthose that are cartographers do.
