GEntle
Reader
,
It
hath
beene
the
policie
vniversall
,
from
the
creation
of
the
World
vnto
this
time
,
of
all
civile
States
,
the
replenishing
of
the
World
with
Colonies
of
their
owne
subjects
.
Adam
and
Eva
did
first
beginne
this
pleasant
worke
to
plant
the
Earth
to
succeeding
posteritie
.
Noah
,
and
his
familie
began
againe
the
second
plantation
.
And
the
confusion
of
tongues
at
Babel
,
made
division
of
States
,
scattering
as
manie
Colonies
over
the
face
of
the
Earth
after
the
Flood
,
as
there
was
diversitie
of
Languages
:
and
their
seede
as
it
still
increased
,
hath
still
planted
new
Countries
,
one
after
another
;
and
so
the
Worlde
to
that
estate
whereinto
it
is
.
That
the
planting
of
Countries
,
and
civilizing
barbar●●s
and
inhumane
Nations
,
hath
ever
beene
the
worke
of
the
greatest
Princes
of
the
Earth
,
their
ever-living
actions
hath
testified
;
wherewith
are
filled
both
the
records
of
divine
Trueth
,
and
the
monuments
of
humane
state
;
and
whose
heroicke
actions
(
wee
must
not
thinke
)
hath
beene
vndertaken
vpon
triviall
motives
,
when
as
by
that
they
did
aswell
inlarge
the
limites
of
their
Dominions
,
and
enriche
the
revenues
of
their
estates
;
as
bridle
sedition
at
home
,
and
settle
securitie
against
their
enemies
abroad
.
These
preceeding
praise-worthie
Fathers
,
and
their
memorable
of
spring
were
diligent
to
plant
,
that
yet
vnplanted
to
their
after-livers
;
wherein
shined
those
worthie
Founders
of
the
great
Monarchies
and
their
virtues
:
the
Hebrues
,
the
Lacedomonians
,
Gothes
,
Graecians
,
Romanes
,
and
the
rest
from
time
to
time
in
their
severall
ages
.
But
to
leaue
these
remote
times
,
let
vs
take
a
view
within
these
60.
yeeres
of
the
discoveries
,
and
plantations
in
America
,
by
the
English
,
the
French
,
the
Spainard
,
the
Portugale
;
by
whose
industrious
paines
are
made
knowne
vnto
vs
alreadie
their
,
so
hudge
tracts
,
kingdomes
,
and
territories
,
peopled

vnpeopled
,
as
vpon

leagues

the
least
,
and
for
3000.
more

Manie
discourses
of
the
discoueries
which
hath
beene
there
effected
within
these
few

are
made
of
worthie
Personages
:

,
and
manie
others
,
who
to
the
wonder
of
all

hath
successivelie
seconded
one
another

Whole
Decads

filled
with

shall
never

:
and
many
innumerable
〈◊〉
Worthies
,
whom
all
after-ages
shall
eternize
for
their
vertues
,
whose
actions
I
leave
to
bee
searched
as
they
are
registred
in
the
monuments
of
their
praise-worthie
proceedings
.
The
shining
brightnesse
of
these
(
Gentle
Reader
)
and
such
others
,
hath
so
beamed
a
path
way
to
all
posteritie
for
imitation
;
as
that
the
basest
minde
that
is
,
may
bee
induced
to
follow
their
footsteppes
.
And
for
my selfe
,
hauing
from
the
source
of
that
ever
and
over-flowing
fountaine
,
that
was
still
a
running
to
all
,
from
our
late
Soveraigne
of
never-dying
memorie
King
IAMES
obtained
a
Patent
of
Cape
Briton
,
which
now
,
by
his
Royall
direction
is
intituled
New
Galloway
in
America
:
I
haue
resolved
to
follow
the
troden
way
of
these
others
,
whose
happie
successe
are
so
plainlie
seene
in
such
honorable
designes
.
And
since
I
doe
propone
to
my selfe
the
same
ends
,
which
are
first
for
the
glorie
of
my
great
and
mightie
GOD
;
next
the
service
of
his
〈◊〉
my
dread
Soveraigne
,
and
my
native
Countrie
:
and
last
the
particular
weale
,
and
vtilitie
of
my selfe
,
and
such
as
shall
bee
generouslie
disposed
adventurers
with
mee
:
Why
shall
it
bee
lawfull
for
others
,
and
not
for
mee
:
and
not
as
possible
and
as
commodious
for
mee
,
as
vnto
others
of
my
qualitie
?
The
chiefe
(
then
)
and
the
farthest
poynt
that
my
intention
shall
seeke
to
arrive
at
;
shall
bee
to
remove
that
vnbeliefe
,
which
is
so
grounded
in
the
mindes
of
men
,
to
discredite
most
noble
and
profitable
endevoures
with
distrust
:
and
first
,
to
shake
off
their
colourable
pretences
of
ignorance
,
and
then
,
if
they
will
not
be
perswaded
to
make
their
selfe-willes
inexcusable
;
I
shall
make
manifest
the
worthinesse
of
the
cause
to
the
mindes
of
such
as
are
desirous
to
bee
settled
in
a
certaintie
.
As
for
my selfe
,
I
doe
giue
trust
to
the
relations
of
such
,
whose
wisdomes
(
I
know
)
are
not
so
shallow
,
as
easilie
bee
deceiued
of
others
;
nor
consciences
so
wretched
,
as
by
pretences
to
deceive
others
:
and
having
the
personall
tryall
of
so
honourable
and
sufficient
reporters
,
our
owne
Countrie-men
,
this
naked
contemplation
,
and
idle
knowledge
can
not
content
mee
:
but
knowing
that
the
chiefe
commendation
of
vertue
consisteth
in
action
,
I
haue
resolved
a
practise
,
and
to
trace
the
footsteppes
of
those
heroicke
fore-runners
,
whose
honourable
actions
shall
ever
live
vpon
Earth
;
whiles
their
Soules
live
in
glorie
in
the
Heavens
,
and
shall
increase
heere
,
and
multiplie
;
as
their
bodies
in
the
grave
shall
putrifie
.
The
inducements
which
hath
incouraged
mee
to
this
enterprise
,
and
to
spend
my
time
,
and
best
abilities
in
these
adventures
,
I
shall
heere
sette
brieflie
downe
without
any
inlargment
of
made
wordes
,
but
in
single
speach
,
as
best
beseeming
a
simple
meaning
;
Intreating
thee
(
Courteous
Reader
)
that
thou
would
with
an
affectioned
mind
consider
these
my
subsequent
motives
,
wherewith
I
haue
beene
induced
my selfe
:
ponder
aright
my
endes
:
and
then
but
weigh
my
willing
and
free
Offers
,
which
I
doe
make
for
the
weale
and
furtherance
of
so
worthie
a
Worke.
Wee
are
not
borne
to
our selves
;
but
to
help
each
others
,
and
our
abilities
and
meanes
are
not
much
vnlike
at
the
first
houre
of
our
birth
,
and
the
last
minute
of
our
death
:
and
it
is
our
deades
good
or
bad
that
all
of
vs
haue
to
carrie
vs
to
Heaven
or
Hell
after
this
life
.
While
wee
are
therefore
heere
,
let
vs
imitate
the
vertues
,
and
glories
of
our
Predecessours
,
that
heereafter
worthilie
wee
may
bee
remembred
as
their
Successours

MOTIVE

motive
1
AS
the
chiefe
and
primarie
end
of
mans
creation
is
the
Worshippe
of
GOD
;
so
shall
the
first
,
and
speciall
motive
of
my
proceeding
be
the
advancement
of
his
Glorie
,
and
that
by
the
propagation
of
the
Gospell
of
IESVS
CHRIST
amongst
an
Heathen
people
,
where
Christianitie
hath
not
beene
knowne
,
nor
the
worshippe
of
the
true
GOD.
Where
can
bee
selected
a
more
excellent
subject
,
than
to
cast
downe
the
Altars
of
Devills
,
and
to
raise
vp
the
Altar
of
CHRIST
:
to
forbidde
the
Sacrifice
of
men
,
that
they
may
offer
vp
the
Sacrifices
of
contrite
Spirites
.
Is
it
not
a
determined
Trueth
,
that
the
Gospell
of
Iesus
Christ
should
bee
preached
to
all
the
Worlde
(
Heaven
and
Earth
shall
passe
away
,
but
GODS
Worde
shall
not
passe
away
)
.
And
is
it
not
as
certaine
a
Conclusion
amongst
all
the
Divines
,
that
these
are
the
latter
Dayes
,
wherein
we
live
,
well
knowne
by
the
signes
that
were
to
come
before
,
sette
downe
by
God
himselfe
in
his
sacred
Worde
,
and
for
the
most
part
alreadie
manifested
?
And
hath
not
Gods
all-seeing
Providence
begunne
as
first
by
discoverie
,
and
next
by
plantation
of
so
hudge
and
so
waste
a
tract
,
more
commonlie
,
than
properlie
called
the
New
Worlde
;
vnknowne
but
within
this
60.
yeeres
,
except
by
a
glimpse
,
to
make
appeare
the
progresse
of
his
divine
Providence
,
how
hee
will
haue
the
seede
of
his
worke
to
bee
sowne
amongst
them
;
Then
doth
it
not
belonge
vnto
vs
to
prosecute
his
worke
;
and
as
by
merchandizing
and
trade
wee
buy
at
them
the
pearles
of
the
Earth
;
wee
ought
to
communicate
vnto
them
the
pearles
of
Heaven
.
The
time
hath
never
beene
so
apparent
as
now
,
vnder
our
most
gratious
and
Soveraigne
Lord
,
King
CHARLES
,
whose
generous
and
gratious
goodwill
by
encouragement
to
the
same
,
hath
manifested
the
same
since
hee
receaved
the
Crowne
,
to
bee
the
selected
instrument
to
atchieue
it
.
Then
should
not
that
Heroicke
,
and
illustrious
disposition
in
Him
,
whom
wee
see
so
prompt
to
bee
still
in
action
,
both
incite
,
and
invite
to
so
noble
designes
all
such
as
would
shunne
the
imputation
of
idlenesse
to
imitate
His
foot-steppes
.
Is
it
vnlawfull
for
vs
to
come
to
them
?
No
;
it
is
the
duetie
of
Christianitie
in
vs
,
to
behold
the
imprinted
footsteppes
of
GODS
glorie
in
everie
Region
vnder
Heaven
;
and
to
them
,
against
the
Law
of
Nations
,
to
violate
a
peaceable
Stranger
,
or
to
deny
vs
harbour
.
Is
it
vnlawfull
for
vs
to
trade
with
them
?
No
,
vnlesse
Salomon
should
bee
condemned
of
sending
for
Golde
to
Ophir
;
Abraham
for
making
a
league
with
Abimelech
,
and
all
Christendome
for
having
commerce
with
Turkes
,
and
miscreants
.
Nor
neither
is
it
vnlawfull
that
wee
possesse
part
of
their
Lands
,
and
dwell
with
them
,
and
defend
our selves
from
them
,
because
there
is
no
other
moderate
,
and
mixt
course
,
to
bring
them
to
conversion
,
but
by
daylie
conversation
,
where
wee
may
see
the
Life
,
and
learne
the
Languages
each
of
others
:
and
because
there
is
towne
sufficient
in
the
Land
,
(
as
Sichem
said
)
for
them
,
and
vs
;
the
extent
of
an
100.
myles
beeing
scarce
peopled
with
500
inhabitants
:
and
chieflie
because
(
as
Pharaoh
gaue
Goshen
,
to
Israel
,
ere
Ephron
sold
his
caue
to
Abraham
)
they
have
solde
to
our
people
their
Lands
for
copper
(
which
they
more
esteme
of
,
than
money
)
to
inherite
and
inhabite
:
,
as
Paspehay
and
Powhatan
,
two
our
there
greatest
Kinges
to
these
our
Colonies
in
Virginia
;
and
chieflie
(
as
it
is
written
by
Captaine
Iohn
Smith
,
a
worthie
actour
in
the
businesse
)
when
Captaine
Newport
was
desired
by
Powhatan
at
Worowacomaco
,
to
come
from
Iames
towne
in
Virginia
,
where
hee
was
,
as
a
place
vnwholesome
,
and
to
take
possession
of
another
whole
Kingdome
,
which
hee
gave
vnto
him
.
If
any
scrupulous
conscience
will
impute
,
that
yet
wee
can
possesse
no
further
limites
,
than
was
alloted
by
composition
,
and
that
fortitude
without
justice
,
is
but
the
firebrand
of
iniquitie
.
Let
him
know
that
Plato
defineth
it
to
bee
no
injustice
,
to
take
a
sword
out
of
the
hand
of
a
madde
man
.
And
Saint
Augustine
hath
allowed
,
for
a
lawfull
offensiue
warre
that
revengeth
injuries
,
and
wherein
the
whole
Divines
in
Europe
,
although
contraverting
farre
in
other
things
,
yet
in
this
they
all
agree
,
that
it
is
lawfull
.
That
the
Church
of
Rome

The
Spaniard
,
and
Portugalles

ample
territories
and

in

,
&c.
beare

.
And
for
the
Church
of
England
,
their
Bermudes
,
Virginian
,
and
New
England
conquesse
and
colonies
affirme
it
.
And
the
Church
of
Geneva
in
the
yeere
1555.
determined
in
a
Synode
(
where
Calvin
was
president
)
to
sende
Peter
Rochier
,
and
William
Quadrigarius
,
vnder
a
French
Captaine
to
Brasilia
,
althogh
they
were
supplanted
by
the
Cardinall
of
Loraine
,
and
the
treacherie
of
their
false
Captaine
.
When
therefore
it
is
so
sweete
a
smelling
Sacrifice
to
propagate
the
name
of
Iesus
Christ
:
if
wee
haue
any
graine
of
faith
or
zeale
in
Religion
,
let
vs
seeke
to
convert
these
poore
Savages
to
knowe
Christ
,
and
humanitie
.
Let
Religion
bee
the
first
aime
of
our
hopes
,
and
other
thinges
shall
bee
cast
vnto
vs
.
Our
Names
shall
bee
registred
to
posteritie
with
a
glorious
Title
;
These
are
the
men
whom
GOD
hath
raised
to
augment
the
state
of
their
Countrie
,
and
to
propagate
the
Gospell
of
Iesus
Christ
.
The
same
GOD
that
hath
ordained
three
Kingdomes
vnder
the
Scepter
of
our
gratious
King
CHARLES
,
will
not
bee
wanting
to
adde
a
fourth
,
if
wee
would
dissolve
that
frostie
ycienesse
which
chilleth
our
zeale
,
and
maketh
vs
cold
in
the
action
.

the
Worshippe
of
my
GOD
,
is
the
service
of
my
Prince
,
and
native
Countrie
:
which
is
the
second
end
that
I
haue
propounded
vnto
my selfe
,
by
inlarging
these
Dominions
whereof
I
am
a
Subject
:
a
duetie
moste
proper
to
all
the
true
and
loyall
Lieges
,
whensoever
by
so
lawfull
and
easie
meanes
it
may
bee
atchieved
.
What
is
so
truelie
sutable
with
honour
and
honestie
,
as
to
gaine
to
our
native
Mother-Countrie
a
Kingdome
to
attend
her
?
Wherein
can
the
taste
of
true
vertue
,
and
magnanimitie
bee
more
sweete
and
pleasant
,
than
in
planting
,
and
building
a
foundation
for
thy
posteritie
;
gotte
from
the
rude
earth
by
Gods
blessing
,
and
thine
owne
industrie
,
without
prejudice
to
any
?
What
more
conducing
to
that
mysticall
bodie
politicke
,
whereof
thou
art
a
member
,
than
for
to
finde
imployment
for
those
that
are
idle
,
because
they
knowe
not
what
to
doe
?
Posteritie
shall
remember
thee
for
it
,
and
remembring
,
ever
honour
that
remembrance
with
praise
.
Consider
what
was
the
beginninges
,
and
endinges
of
the
Monarchies
of
the
Chaldeans
,
the
Persians
,
the
Graecians
and
the
Romans
,
but
this
one
rule
:
what
was
it
they
would
not
doe
for
the
Common-wealth
or
there
mother
Citie
?
for
example
:
Rome
,
what
made
her
such
a
Monarchesse
,
but
only
the
adventures
of
her
youthe
,
not
in
ryots
at
home
,
but
in
dangers
abroad
?
and
their
justice
,
and
judgment
,
out
of
their
own
experience
when
they
grewe
aged
.
What
was
their
ruine
and
hurt
,
but
this
:
their
excesse
of
idlenesse
,
want
of
experience
,
hypocriticall
seeming
goodnesse
,
&
growing
onlie
formall
Temporists
;
so
that
what
their
Predecessours
gotte
in
many
yeeres
,
they
lost
in
few
dayes
:
these
by
their
paines
and
laboures
became
Lordes
of
the
Worlde
,
they
by
their
ease
and
vyces
became
slaves
to
their
servants
.
Then
,
who
would
live
at
home
idle
(
or
think
in
him selfe
any
worth
to
live
)
onlie
to
eate
,
drinke
,
and
sleepe
,
and
so
to
die
?
or
by
consuming
that
careleslie
,
which
their
predecessours
hath
got
worthilie
?
or
by
vsing
that
miserablie
,
that
maintained
vertue
honestlie
?
or
,
for
beeing
descended
noblie
,
pyne
with
the
vaine
vaunt
of
Kinred
in
penurie
?
or
(
to
maintaine
a
sillie
show
of
braverie
)
toyle
out
the
heart
,
soule
,
and
time
baselie
,
by
shiftes
,
trickes
,
cardes
,
or
dyce
?
or
by
relating
newes
of
others
actions
,
sharke
heere
or
there
for
a
Dinner
or
Supper
?
deceiving
his
friends
by
faire
promises
and
dissimulation
,
in
borrowing
where
hee
never
intendeth
to
pay
?
offending
the
Lawes
,
surfeting
with
excesse
,
burthening
his
Countrie
,
abusing
himselfe
,
despairing
in
want
,
and
then
cousening
his
kinred
?
although
it
is
seene
what
honoures
the
World
hath
yet
,
and
what
affluence
of
all
things
;
for
such
as
will
seeke
,
and
worthilie
deserue
them
.
Heere
were
courses
for
Gentle-men
,
(
and
such
as
would
bee
so
reputed
)
more
suting
their
qualities
,
than
begging
from
their
Princes
generous
disposition
the
labours
of
his
other
subjects
.
It
woulde
bee
a
Historie
of
a
large
volume
to
recite
the
adventures
of
the
Spaniards
and
Portugalles
,
their
constant
resolutions
,
with
such
incomparable
honour
,
so
farre
beyond
beliefe
in
their
discoveries
,
and
plantations
,
as
may
well
condemne
vs
of
too
much
imbecillitie
,
floth
,
and
negligence
.
And
yet
the
authours
of
these
new
inventions
were
helde
as
ridiculous
at
that
time
:
as
now
are
others
that
doe
but
seeke
to
imitate
their
vnparalelled
vertues
.
And
though
wee
see
daylie
their
mountaines
of
wealth
(
sprung
from
the
plants
of
their
generous
indevoures
)
yet
is
our
incredulitie
,
and
vntowardnesse
such
,
and
so
great
,
that
either
ignorantlie
wee
beleeve
nothing
;
or
so
curiouslie
contest
,
to
prevent
wee
know
not
what
future
events
;
that
so
wee
either
neglect
,
or
oppresse
,
or
discourage
both
our selves
,
and
others
,
that
might
both
as
easilie
and
would
as
willinglie
attempt
and
embrace
the
like
.
Who
seeth
not
,
what
is
the
greatest
good
of
the
Spaniard
,
but
these
newe
conclusions
,
in
searching
these
vnknowne
partes
of
this
vnknowne
Worlde
:
by
which
meanes
hee
diveth
even
into
the
verie
secreetes
of
all
his
Neighboures
,
and
the
most
part
of
the
Worlde
.
And
when
the
Portugalles
and
Spaniards
had
found
the
East
and
West
Indies
,
how
manie
did
condemne
them-selves
that
did
not
accept
of
that
honest
offer
of
noble
Columbus
,
who
vpon
the
neglect
of
England
,
to
whom
it
was
first
offered
;
brought
them
to
it
:
perswading
them-selves
the
Worlde
had
no
such
places
,
as
they
had
found
:
and
yet
ever
since
wee
finde
,
they
still
haue
found
newe
Lands
,
newe
Nations
,
new
trades
,
and
still
daylie
doe
finde
;
both
in
Asia
,
Africa
,
Terra
incognita
,
and
America
:
so
that
their
is
neither
Souldiour
,
nor
Mechanicke
from
the
Lord
,
to
the
begger
,
but
these
parts
affoord
them
all
employment
,
and
discharge
their
native
Soyle
of
so
manie
thousands
of
all
sorts
,
that
else
by
their
sloath
,
pryde
and
imperfections
,
woulde
longe
ere
this
haue
troubled
their
neighboures
,
or
haue
eaten
the
pryde
of
Spaine
it selfe
.
And
seeing
further
,
for
all
they
have
,
they
cease
not
still
to
search
for
that
,
which
yet
they
neither
haue
,
nor
knowe
not
●
it
is
strange
that
wee
shoulde
bee
so
dull
,
as
not
maintaine
that
which
wee
haue
,
and
pursue
that
,
which
wee
knowe
.
I
am
sure
that
manie
would
take
it
in
an
evill
part
to
be
abridged
of
the
titles
and
honours
of
their
predecessours
:
when
if
but
truelie
they
would
judge
themselves
:
looke
howe
inferiour
they
are
to
their
noble
vertues
,
so
much
they
are
vnworthie
of
their
honours
,
and
livings
:
which
never
were
ordained
for
showes
and
shadowes
,
to
maintaine
idlenesse
and
sloath
,
but
to
make
them
more
able
to
abound
in
honour
by
heroicall
deedes
of
action
,
judgement
,
pietie
and
vertue
.
What
was
it
they
would
not
doe
both
in
purse
and
person
for
the
good
of
the
Common-weale
?
and
may
not
this
bee
a
motive
for
vs
to
set
out
such
as
may
bee
spared
of
our
kindred
in
such
generous
designes
.
Religion
aboue
all
things
should
move
(
especiallie
the
Cleargie
)
if
wee
were
religious
,
to
showe
our
faith
by
our
workes
,
in
converting
these
poore
savages
to
the
knowledge
of
GOD.
Honour
might
move
the
Gentrie
,
valiant
and
industrious
;
the
hope
and
assurance
of
wealth
,
all
:
if
wee
were
such
,
as
wee
would
seeme
,
and
desire
to
bee
accompted
.
Or
bee
wee
so
farre
inferiour
to
other
Nations
,
or
our
Spirites
so
farre
dejected
from
our
ancient
Predecessoures
or
our
minds
so
vpon
spoyle
,
pyracie
,
or
other
villanieas
to
serve
the
Portugale
,
Spaniard
,
Dutch
,
French
,
or
Turk
,
(
as
to
the
great
hurte
of
Europe
too
manie
doe
)
rather
than
our
GOD
,
our
King
,
our
Countrie
,
and
our selves
?
excusing
our
idlenesse
,
and
our
base
complaints
by
want
of
imployment
?
when
heere
is
such
choyce
of
all
sortes
,
and
for
all
degrees
in
this
plantation
.
So
let
these
answere
such
questionlesse
questions
,
that
keepe
vs
backe
from
imitating
the
worthinesse
of
their
brave
spirits
,
that
advanced
themselves
from
poore
Souldiers
,
to
great
Captaines
,
their
posteritie
to
great
Lords
,
their
King
to
bee
one
of
the
greatest
Potentates
on
Earth
,
and
the
fruits
of
their
labours
,
his
greatest
glorie
,
power
,
riches
and
renowne

MOTIVE
III.
motive
3
AND
as
I
haue
spoken
of
two
principall
causes
that
hath
induced
mee
;
The
third
of
my
ends
may
happilie
bee
no
lesse
forcible
to
encourage
all
such
,
whose
education
,
spirits
and
judgments
,
wants
but
onlie
the
purse
to
prosecute
the
same
with
mee
,
and
that
is
the
private
and
particulare
gaine
,
that
may
bee
got
by
so
lawfull
and
easie
meanes
:
whereof
it
is
more
than
admirable
,
that
such
should
either
bee
so
wilfullie
ignorant
,
or
so
negligently
carelesse
as
not
to
bee
moved
to
imbrace
,
and
speciallie
,
such
imployment
as
may
search
out
commodities
,
to
live
happilie
,
plentifullie
,
and
at
ease
.
Ought
not
everie
man
to
regard
,
aswell
to
inlarge
his
patrimonie
,
as
that
hee
bee
not
chargeable
to
others
,
so
farre
as
hee
may
by
his
vertue
and
industrie
,
in
a
lawfull
and
honest
manner
attaine
vnto
.
Is
not
a
lawfull
search
for
such
commodities
,
to
bee
preferred
to
an
idle
sloathfulnesse
?
and
an
honorable
policie
in
a
lawfull
plantation
abroad
,
before
vnlawfull
monopolies
,
and
wrangling
suites
of
Law
,
by
neighbour
against
neighbour
at
home
,
impoverishing
thy selfe
,
and
thy
native
Countrie
,
whereof
thou
oughtest
to
bee
a
more
profitable
member
?
May
not
the
fortunate
successe
of
the
plantation
of
Ireland
,
so
fresh
and
recent
to
all
,
whence
so
great
commodities
are
brought
both
to
England
,
and
Scotland
,
and
whereby
the
Countrie
it selfe
is
enriched
,
and
wee
so
benefited
,
bee
inticements
to
induce
vs
to
the
like
.
The
verturous
,
and
generous
Spirites
of
resolute
Gentlemen
,
vnder-takers
of
this
plantation
,
haue
raised
their
fortunes
worthie
of
honour
;
and
by
his
Majesties
favour
,
their
vertues
rewarded
with
the
titles
of
Earles
,
Vice-Countes
Lords
,
Barronets
,
and
Knights
,
according
to
their
qualities
,
and
his
Majesties
pleasure
.
The
meaner
sort
,
such
as
artisanes
,
labourers
of
the
ground
,
the
greater
part
whereof
,
were
knowne
to
haue
scarce
a
competent
meanes
to
defraye
the
charges
of
their
passage
thither
,
now
promoted
to
bee
Gentlemen
,
and
of
great
meanes
.
And
why
may
not
time
produce
as
great
effects
to
vertue
,
in
others
who
shall
follow
her
pathes
with
resolution
:
where
as
good
occasions
are
are
offered
,
in
a
climate
more
temperate
,
a
Soyle
more
fertile
,
and
farre
exceeding
in
greater
commodities
?
And
last
,
to
shake
off
the
difficulties
,
and
impedimentes
that
may
bee
objected
:
as
the
dangerousnesse
of
Sea
,
the
bariennesse
of
the
Soyle
,
and
the
vnwholesomenesse
of
the
climate
;
all
which
discouragements
might
astonishe
some
with
feare
,
and
to
thinke
our
expensses
,
and
paines
vnprofitable
;
when
as
our
endes
shall
bee
vnpossible
.
I
haue
therefore
heere
taken
a
view
that
you
may
generallie
knowe
and
learne
,
what
the
Countrie
is
,
and
her
commodities
:
the
temperature
of
the
climate
:
nature
of
the
natives
:
and
the
easinesse
of
the
passage
;
all
which
I
shall
briefly
runne
over
;
only
to
remove
from
before
your
feete
the
stumbling
blocks
of
impossibilitie
that
may
affright
vs
.
The
Countrie
it
is
called
by
the
name
of
Cape
Briton
,
now
New
Galloway
:
new
,
not
in
respect
of
the
discoverie
thereof
,
which
to
the
judgment
of
men
of
knowledge
and
vnderstanding
is
not
new
,
but
old
;
for
the
much
hath
been
written
thereof
,
yet
new
,
not
olde
,
because
of
our
new
vndertaking
of
that
plantation
.
It
is
situated
betwixt
the
degrees
of
45.
and
57.
an
Yland
within
the
Sea
,
but
vpon
the
maine
,
severed
by
the
distance
of
foure
leagues
in
some
parts
,
of
two
or
three
at
other
parts
:
and
at
others
,
lesse
.
The
Yland
is
in
length
some
120.
myles
,
and
in
breadth
80.
myles
or
thereby
:
standing
South-east
,
and
North-west
to
New
Scotland
;
where
the
great
river
Canada
ingorgeth
her selfe
in
the
maine
Ocean
.
Harbours
there
bee
exceeding
good
on
all
sides
,
in
most
part
whereof
are
ancorage
for
shippes
of
all
burthen
.
Yles
there
be
about
over-grown
with
good
timber
of
diverse
sorts
of
wood
;
all
as
yet
not
discovered
,
except
the
Yle
Sablon
,
which
is
full
of
woodes
and
wilde
beastes
,
but
without
any
people
.
The
Land
is
watered
by
foure
maine
rivers
,
full
of
Salmond
,
and
diverse
other
sortes
of
fishes
.
It
hath
plentie
of
springes
of
sweete
waters
.
Towards
the
North-east
,
Mountanous
:
and
toward
the
South-west
Caimpainge
:
promising
as
rich
entralles
as
anie
other
Kingdome
to
whom
the
Sunne
is
no
nearer
neighbour
.
The
ground
in
it self
so
fertile
and
good
as
may
equalize
any
of
the
Kingdomes
that
lyeth
in
the
hight
of
45.
46.
47.
Onlie
this
advantage
I
find
in
nature
,
that
they
haue
above
this
:
they
are
bewtified
by
the
long
labour
&
diligence
of
industrious
people
&
airt
:
&
this
is
only
as
God
made
it
,
when
he
created
the
world
,
vncultured
,
planted
&
manured
by
men
of
industry
,
judgment
&
experience
.
The
commodities
which
we
shal
reape
from
thence
shall
be
great
,
for
the
Sea
shall
sweeten
our
labours
with
her
benefites
,
as
the
Land
,
and
the
Land
aswell
as
the
Sea
.
The
Sea
shall
reach
vs
vp
her
Whale
,
her
turbot
,
her
sturgion
,
cod
,
haddocke
,
small
ling
,
makkerell
,
herring
,
mullet
,
pearch
,
Ecle
,
crab
,
lobster
,
muskle
,
wilk
,
oyster
,
and
infinite
others
.
Fish
is
the
maine
Staple
,
from
whence
is
to
be
extracted
,
a
present
commoditie
to
produce
the
rest
:
which
howsoever
it
may
seeme
meane
and
base
,
yet
it
is
the
Myne
,
and
the
Sea
is
the
source
of
these
silvered
streames
of
all
these
vertues
,
which
hath
made
the
Hollanders
,
the
miracle
of
industrie
,
&
patterne
of
perfection
for
these
affaires
:
and
the
benefite
of
fishing
,
is
that
Primum
mobile
,
that
turneth
all
their
Spheare
to
this
hight
of
plentie
,
strength
,
honour
,
and
admiration
.
The
ground
it
will
yeeld
vs
an
admired
varietie
;
some
wee
shall
haue
that
are
merchantable
,
which
,
by
the
serving
for
ordinarie
necessars
of
the
planters
&
inhabitants
,
may
yeeld
a
superplus
sufficient
,
by
way
of
traffick
and
exchange
with
other
nations
,
to
enriche
our selves
the
provyders
;
such
as
flaxe
,
hempe
,
which
the
Soyle
doth
yeeld
of
it self
not
planted
.
For

one

walnuts

and
another
of
berries
,
like
the
ackornes
,
which
the
natives
vse

merchantable
,
which
by

bee
raised
.
and
in
our
coastings
at
home
wee
are
subject
vnto
.
And
now
last
,
it
resteth
I
speake
a
worde
of
the
nature
of
the
people
,
in
so
farre
as
you
maye
knowe
,
how
litle
they
are
to
bee
feared
,
in
respect
of
troubling
our
inhabiting
and
planting
.
They
are
a
people
so
fewe
,
so
poore
,
so
base
,
so
incivile
,
and
so
savage
,
as
wanting
both
multitude
,
power
,
or
ai●●●
to
harme
vs
.
They
are
cloathed
with
loose
mantles
,
made
of
Deere
skinnes
,
casten
rounde
about
their
middles
,
the
rest
of
their
bodie
all
naked
,
of
such
stature
onelie
as
wee
are
heere
,
having
no
edge
tooles
,
nor
weapons
of
yron
,
nor
steele
to
offende
vs
,
neither
knowe
they
how
to
make
anie
,
nor
howe
to
vse
them
.
These
weapons
which
they
have
,
are
onelie
Bowes
made
of
Hazell
,
and
arrowes
of
reedes
:
flat
edged
truncheons
also
of
wood
,
about
a
yarde
long
:
neither
haue
they
anie
thing
to
defende
themselves
,
but
targes
made
of
barkes
,
and
some
armour
made
of
stickes
wickered
together
with
threed
.
In
number
they
are
verie
fewe
,
in
twentie
myles
,
scarce
threescore
people
.
Townes
in
the
countrie
are
verie
rare
,
and
small
:
containing
fewe
inhabitants
:
and
hee
is
a
Viroan
,
or
great
Lord
,
that
hath
the
government
of
one
towne
.
There
houses
are
litle
,
made
of
small
poles
,
and
fast
at
the
toppes
in
round
forme
,
in
moste
parte
covered
with
barkes
.
If
there
shoulde
fall
out
anie
Warres
betwixt
vs
and
them
,
what
fight
coulde
there
bee
,
wee
having
advantages
against
them
,
so
manie
manner
of
wayes
:
it
maye
bee
easilie
imagined
,
by
our
discipline
,
our
strange
weapons
,
especiallie
,
our
Ordinance
great
,
and
small
.
And
by
the
experience
that
others
hath
had
of
them
there
,
in
places
more
populous
than
this
of
ours
:
where
the
taking
of
them-selves
to
their
heeles
,
was
their
best
defence
against
them
.
So
seeing
you
maye
perceive
,
what
the
Countrie
is
,
and
how
situated
?
the
aire
how
temperate
,
and
wholesome
?
the
Soyle
how
fertile
,
and
what
affluence
it
doeth
yeelde
of
commoditie
?
the
natives
how
both
so
fewe
,
and
so
harmelesse
?
and
the
passage
,
howe
so
easie
,
and
so
frequentlie
experimented
?
I
hope
there
remaineth
no
cause
,
whereby
the
action
should
bee
misliked
.
Thus
referring
my
relation
to
your
favourable
constructions
:
the
successe
of
the
action
to
Him
,
who
is
to
bee
acknowledged
the
Author
and
Governour
,
not
onlie
of
this
,
but
of
all
thinges
else
:
and
these
my
subsequent
Offers
,
which
I
have
freelie
,
and
willinglie
granted
,
as
helpes
,
and
furtherances
for
your
encouragement
to
so
good
a
Worke
;
yee
maye
pervse
,
and
onelie
imbrace
as
you
shall
thinke
your selves
disposed

What

FOR

and
expensses
to
bestowed
by

in
my
shipping
and
other

:
I
shall
bee
contented
to
receive
from
everie
one
of
the
said

,
the
thirteenth
parte
of
that
increase
,
and
commoditie
,
which
their
Lands
shall
bee
made
worthie
vnto
them
in
the
said
plantation
:
And
that
I
shall
not
require
to
bee
payed
vnto
mee
in
moneyes
,
but
only
in
such
commodities
,
as
the
Soyle
shall
affoord
:
such
as
cornes
,
fishes
,
furres
,
&c.
AND
last
,
I
desire
that
all
such
,
as
shall
imbrace
the
foresaids
offers
,
may
come
vnto
mee
before
the
first
day
of
December
next
,
and
giue
vp
their
names
,
and
a
note
of
such
things
as
they
desire
to
bee
carried
with
them
,
whereby
I
may
provide
for
them
,
conforme
to
my
preceeding
offers
,
and
they
received
everie
one
,
and
placed
according
to
the
order
as
they
first
come
:
so
that
all
thinges
may
bee
duelie
provyded
,
and
had
in
readinesse
against
the
due
time
and
season
of
setting
out
.
sense
,
and
feeling
out
of
mine
owne
experience
,
howe
I
see
the
estate
of
the
Kingdome
.
Then
(
Worthie
Countriemen
)
let
vs
lay
these
two
things
in
the
ballance
,
and
judge
vpon
them
:
whether
it
is
better
for
vs
to
goe
there
,
where
wee
may
haue
to
live
in
in
a
fruitfull
Soyle
,
and
wholesome
,
in
all
commodities
abounding
to
our
contentments
,
beeing
onlie
a
litle
industrious
,
and
painefull
?
than
to
live
heere
at
home
as
Runnagates
,
vnanswerable
to
GOD
,
the
King
,
the
Lawes
,
to
all
reason
,
and
conscience
:
to
bee
captivate
as
slaves
,
and
cast
in
loathsome
Prisons
,
to
satisfie
with
our
persons
,
when
our
goods
hath
failed
vs
:
and
especiallie
,
when
wee
haue
wronged
our
best
and
kindest
friendes
,
who
out
of
their
loves
hath
engaged
themselves
,
to
be
distressed
,
and
imprisoned
for
vs
,
which
shoulde
bee
a
greater
griefe
vnto
vs
,
than
our
owne
imprisonments
.
And
then
shall
wee
disdaine
plantation
:
which
to
enterprise
is
so
honourable
;
to
prosecute
so
possible
:
to
purchase
so
lawfull
,
and
when
attained
,
so
profitable
?
No
,
whosoever
shall
reason
against
the
same
,
especially
such
as
are
in
distresse
,
may
well
bee
reputed
,
either
the
Bastard
of
generositie
,
or
the
nursling
of
simplicitie
,
or
the
abject
of
frugalitie
:
and
shall
either
become
for
ever
,
the
prostitute
of
infamie
,
or
consecrated
to
perpetuall
oblivion
:
and
when
hee
is
dead
,
his
actions
,
his
meanes
,
his
name
and
all
,
shall
die
with
himselfe
;
and
if
hee
shall
ever
happen
to
bee
remembred
,
that
remembrance
shall
onelie
bee
in
ignominie
,
as
the
Wretch
of
his
Countrie
,
the
Curse
of
his
Kinred
:
and
an
vnthrist
for
himselfe
.
But
I
speake
not
to
such
a
crew
,
whose
basenesse
I
knowe
cannot
climbe
to
surmount
the
meanest
imagined
difficultie
,
that
may
arise
.
I
speake
to
such
noble
Spirites
and
generous
mindes
,
in
whom
doeth
shine
the
light
of
knowledge
to
discerne
the
differences
betweene
a
base
securitie
and
honourable
actions
,
vice
and
vertue
,
stupiditie
,
and
true
worth
:
and
who
in
end
shall
not
misse
to
rejoyce
in
the
enjoying
the
fruits
of
their
labours
in
themselves
,
and
their
names
to
bee
honoured
with
a
perpetuall
remembrance
.
And
if
wee
would
studie
to
bee
remembred
in
our
posterities
,
heere
is
offered
the
occasion
to
insert
vs
in
the
bookes
of
memorie
:
for
if
wee
would
portion
our
second
children
in
a
plantation
,
and
such
as
in
nature
wee
are
bound
to
helpe
,
and
advance
:
both
shall
wee
bee
remembred
in
their
ever-living
successions
,
throughout
all
ensueing
ages
:
and
they
provyded
in
a
competent
beeing
and
meanes
for
them-selves
,
and
theirs
,
and
to
bee
thereafter
proffitable
for
their
King
and
Countrie
:
which
is
better
,
than
either
to
be
kept
at
home
baselie
,
&
short
of
that
which
is
beseeming
their
birth
,
and
qualitie
:
or
to
bee
sent
to
the
service
of
the
Warres
of
forraine
Princes
,
and
to
bee
cutted
away
by
the
sword
,
and
then
never
more
againe
remembred
:
and
for
so
small
meanes
,
as
thereby
yee
can
furnish
themselves
both
in
rayment
,
and
foode
.
Imbrace
then
the
honours
of
plantation
.
Doe
wee
dreame
of
difficulties
?
then
knowe
;
that
it
is
out
of
the
greatest
difficulties
,
that
spring
the
greatest
honours
:
&
it
is
that
Knight-hood
,
which
is
gotten
vnder
the
banner
of
a
King
,
and
in
the
Fieldes
which
is
most
honourable
;
and
not
that
,
which
wee
acquire
by
our
moneyes
;
as
the
most
part
is
now a-dayes
.
And
that
our
actions
may
both
renowne
vs
,
and
beget
vs
moneyes
,
wee
may
see
in
the
examples
that
I
haue
sette
before
your
eyes
,
both
of
forraine
nations
,
and
of
our
own
Countriemen
,
in
their
late
plantations
of
Ireland
,
their
estates
now
,
their
dignities
,
their
honours
,
their
credite
,
and
their
riches
:
and
what
they
were
knowne
to
haue
beene
before
.
But
these
I
leave
to
your
judgments
:
onelie
now
,
to
make
an
end
,
I
must
entreate
thee
(
Noble
and
courteous
Reader
)
to
excuse
my
freenesse
in
this
my
homelie
discourse
,
which
I
perswade
my selfe
the
generous
minde
will
allowe
of
:
and
for
the
base
,
the
simple
and
the
vitious
;
I
doe
not
care
for
their
censure
,
onelie
I
wishe
it
were
a
spurre
to
drawe
them
to
more
vertue
.
As
for
the
rudenesse
of
my
speach
,
I
hope
none
will
except
,
wherein
I
professe
no
airt
,
if
simplie
I
publish
my
good
meaning
and
earnest
affection
to
so
goode
a
Worke
▪
And
wherein
their
is
defect
in
mee
;
I
hope
the
purpose
shall
bee
better
inlarged
by
him
,
whose
Pen
is
more
than
knowne
to
bee
famous
,
the
principall
Actor
in
the
businesse
,
and
to
whom
I
principallie
dedicate
this
my
treatise
:
and
to
bee
seconded
by
the
vertues
of
these
the
Noblemen
,
and
these
worthilie
honoured
Gentle-men
,
the
Knights
Baronets
,
Vnder-takers
oft
o
faire
designes
:
so
that
nowe
I
cease
with
my
penne
,
but
never
with
my
Sword
to
doe
them
service
for
the
advancement
of
so
good
a
Worke.
