striuing
to
keepe
them
in
thankfull
remembrance
,
and
as
occasion
serueth
,
to
●●eake
of
them
in
all
places
,
to
stirre
vp
as
many
,
as
you
can
to
praise
God
with
you
;
I
for
my
part
will
helpe
what
I
can
.
1
First
,
let
vs
think
vpon
&
consider
of
the
great
goodnesse
of
God
towards
those
Ilands
in
their
first
creation
;
how
God
did
then
inuiron
and
fortifie
them
about
,
with
fearefull
Rocks
and
sholes
;
by
meanes
whereof
,
you
dwell
as
safe
from
forraigne
inuasion
,
as
any
people
in
the
world
,
which
is
a
great
comfort
.
2
Consider
we
also
,
how
Almighty
God
by
his
gracious
prouidence
;
in
their
first
creation
did
fit
them
with
two
goodly
and
large
harbours
,
with
such
curious
&
narrow
comming
in
,
as
few
men
in
the
Plat-formes
and
Forts
on
both
sides
the
Channels
are
able
(
by
the
helpe
of
God
)
to
sinke
all
Ships
of
Enemies
that
shall
offer
to
come
in
.
3
Note
also
the
goodnesse
of
God
towards
you
in
the
matter
of
artificiall
fortification
,
in
that
,
howsoeuer
at
the
arriuall
of
Captaine
Nathaniell
Butler
your
Gouernour
,
there
was
by
former
neglects
,
a
generall
decay
that
way
;
yet
,
within
the
space
of
one
onely
yeare
,
we
haue
attained
to
that
perfection
,
that
the
particulers
following
mention
:
As
first
,
at
the
Kings
Castle
,
there
are
at
this
present
18.
great
Peeces
excellently
mounted
,
the
most
of
them
vpon
new
Cariages
of
Caedars
;
and
fiue
more
are
mounted
in
Southampton
Fort
,
newly
made
by
Captaine
Butler
,
which
flankers
the
Kings
Castle
so
,
that
there
are
in
all
23.
Peeces
of
Ordinance
that
play
vpon
the
mouth
of
that
Harbour
.
At
Pembroke
Fort
there
are
two
great
Peeces
;
in
Pagets
Fort
fiue
;
and
in
Smithes
Fort
fiue
,
the
which
two
last
Forts
command
the
mouth
of
the
Harbour
of
St.
Georges
.
At
Warwick
Fort
are
three
more
to
commaund
that
Harbour
:
At
the
Towne
before
the
Gouernors
house
are
eight
to
commaund
the
Harbour
,
and
to
keepe
Shallops
from
landing
;
another
at
the
foote
of
the
Mount
,
to
serue
for
a
Warning-Peece
;
and
at
St.
Katherines
Fort
two
,
to
skoure
that
Bay
:
In
all
,
you
haue
at
the
present
53.
Peeces
of
great
Ordinance
very
well
mounted
,
whereof
26.
are
newly
mounted
by
Captaine
Butler
,
and
most
of
all
the
other
so
repaired
,
as
that
now
they
are
become
fully
seruiceable
.
The
Mount
which
was
blowne
downe
with
a
terrible
gust
of
winde
,
being
the
Eye
of
the
Iland
,
and
a
great
comfort
,
because
from
the
top
of
it
,
ships
were
discouered
,
is
built
againe
by
Captaine
Butler
,
so
that
now
these
Ilands
are
well
fitted
and
prepared
both
within
and
without
,
against
all
forraigne
inuasions
.
Gods
holy
&
great
name
be
therefore
praised
.
4
Consider
also
of
the
goodnes
of
God
,
in
reseruing
and
keeping
these
Ilands
,
euer
since
the
beginning
of
the
world
,
for
the
English
Nation
,
and
in
not
discouering
them
to
any
,
to
inhabit
but
to
the
English
.
5
Consider
also
of
the
manner
,
how
they
were
discouered
,
and
(
by
the
mercy
of
God
)
made
as
a
Ionas
his
Whale
,
to
receiue
into
safety
,
men
out
of
hope
of
life
:
I
meane
,
when
in
the
yeare
of
our
Lord
,
1609.
eight
sailes
of
Ships
,
were
sent
from
England
to
Virginia
;
all
which
continued
together
from
the
15.
of
May
,
till
the
25.
of
Iuly
,
when
(
by
reason
of
a
storme
,
which
continued
three
dayes
,
wherein
they
saw
neither
Sun
,
Moone
,
nor
Starres
)
the
Admirall
,
called
the
Sea
:
Aduenture
,
a
Ship
of
300.
Tunnes
,
lost
sight
of
the
rest
,
and
was
ready
to
sinke
euery
houre
,
being
nine
foote
deepe
of
water
in
the
hold
(
the
storme
still
encreasing
)
and
all
the
men
out
of
hope
of
life
,
and
tired
with
bailing
and
pumping
:
then
(
by
the
mercy
of
God
)
they
discried
these
Ilands
and
within
two
houres
after
,
the
Shippe
(
ready
to
sinke
,
if
shee
had
gone
but
her
length
further
)
did
strike
betweene
two
Rockes
,
where
she
stuck
fast
;
then
presently
God
shewed
his
mercy
,
and
his
power
in
rebuking
the
winde
,
so
as
it
ceased
,
and
the
Sea
,
which
before
with
euery
waue
,
was
ready
to
ouer-rake
her
,
became
quiet
and
calme
,
on
the
sodaine
,
and
all
with
glad
hearts
went
quietly
to
shore
,
praising
God
,
who
turneth
the
stormy
winde
into
a
calme
,
Psal
.
107.29
.
and
ruleth
the
raging
of
the
Sea
,
and
stilleth
the
waues
thereof
when
they
rise
,
Psal
.
89.10
.
They
remayned
in
ihese
Ilands
about
ten
moneths
,
and
builded
a
couple
of
Pinnaces
,
with
which
they
sayled
to
Virginia
,
and
caried
with
them
good
store
of
powdred
Porke
and
Bacon
,
made
of
wilde
Hogges
,
whereof
they
found
in
these
Ilands
great
plenty
.
Also
they
caried
liue
Tortoyses
,
salted
Birds
,
and
salt
Fish
which
they
tooke
and
salted
here
,
and
therewith
saued
many
of
their
liues
that
were
in
Virginia
,
whom
they
found
there
ready
to
perish
through
want
of
food
:
Before
that
prouision
was
spent
,
Ad●irall
of
the
Fleet
.
Sir
Geo
.
Summers
returned
hither
for
more
,
and
here
ended
his
dayes
.
Sir
Geo
.
Summers
being
dead
,
his
men
would
not
goe
againe
to
Virginia
,
but
came
for
England
,
&
left
behind
them
in
these
Ilands
three
men
;
Edward
Chard
,
Christofer
Carter
,
and
Edward
Waters●n
?
these
three
they
left
here
,
because
they
would
not
goe
with
them
(
God
did
put
into
their
hearts
such
loue
and
liking
of
these
Ilands
.
)
These
three
men
found
good
store
of
Ambergreece
to
the
value
of
9000.
pound
,
which
I
am
perswaded
,
God
brought
into
their
hands
of
purpose
to
encourage
the
Aduenturers
to
vndertake
this
Plantation
.
Thus
it
pleased
God
to
discouer
these
Ilands
,
in
great
mercy
for
the
safety
of
them
that
were
ready
to
perish
in
the
Sea
,
and
for
the
sauing
of
their
liues
also
,
who
were
ready
to
perish
in
Virginia
,
through
want
of
food
,
though
now
they
be
(
as
I
heare
)
in
good
estate
,
thanks
be
to
God
.
I
am
perswaded
that
Almighty
God
,
who
by
his
miraculous
and
gracious
prouidence
,
hath
discouered
and
bestowed
these
Ilands
vpon
our
Nation
,
hath
some
great
worke
of
wonder
,
to
bring
to
passe
by
them
,
to
his
great
glory
:
therefore
be
glad
of
them
,
and
praise
him
for
them
,
despise
them
not
for
the
smalnesse
of
them
,
because
Almighty
God
doth
most
commonly
by
small
meanes
bring
great
thinges
to
passe
.
And
take
heede
that
your
sinnes
doe
not
prouoke
God
to
cut
you
off
;
so
as
your
eyes
shall
not
see
,
what
God
will
bring
to
passe
.
The
more
to
stirre
you
vp
to
praise
God
,
consider
how
many
wayes
,
God
hath
shewed
his
loue
,
and
care
of
you
,
since
your
comming
into
these
Ilands
.
1
You
that
were
sent
in
the
first
Ship
called
the
Plowe
,
with
Mr.
Richard
Moore
Gouernour
,
in
the
yeare
of
our
Lord
1611.
you
were
no
sooner
within
the
Harbour
,
but
,
for
your
welcome
,
God
brought
plenty
of
good
Fish
to
the
Ship
side
,
which
did
attend
vpon
you
,
and
follow
the
Boat
to
shore
,
where
some
did
cast
out
of
the
water
with
their
hands
,
so
much
as
did
suffice
you
all
,
which
did
reioyce
you
much
.
2
Consider
also
how
(
to
your
further
ioy
)
God
brought
vnto
you
,
the
three
men
that
were
left
in
the
Iland
,
all
three
in
good
health
,
fat
and
well
liking
,
though
out
of
clothes
.
3
Consider
also
how
God
by
them
had
prouided
an
Acre
of
good
Wheat
,
ripe
and
ready
to
be
gathered
,
besides
the
Wheat
that
you
found
in
their
houses
,
with
Indian
Beanes
and
Pease
,
and
great
store
of
ripe
Pompions
.
Also
you
found
Tortoyses
ready
taken
,
and
by
the
prouidence
of
God
,
rosted
and
sod
so
much
,
as
sufficed
you
all
.
4
Consider
also
how
bountifully
God
brought
vnto
you
the
Fowles
of
the
ayre
in
great
abundance
,
which
did
offer
themselues
to
be
taken
by
you
,
so
as
if
one
did
but
sit
on
the
ground
,
&
make
any
mournfull
noyse
,
more
came
to
him
,
then
he
was
able
to
kill
and
carrie
away
,
so
as
one
man
in
one
houre
,
hath
taken
aboue
thirty
dozen
.
5
Consider
also
of
the
goodnesse
of
God
,
in
blessing
your
first
labour
,
in
clearing
of
ground
,
and
setting
of
Corne
,
so
as
by
the
blessing
of
God
,
you
had
great
encrease
,
notwithstanding
that
the
Corne
was
set
late
.
Vpon
your
second
Crop
,
(
partly
for
the
vnthankfulnesse
of
some
,
and
partly
for
the
triall
of
other
some
,
God
denied
his
blessing
,
so
as
you
receiued
not
your
seede
againe
,
therefore
feare
of
great
want
came
vpon
you
:
Then
,
euen
then
when
your
hearts
began
to
be
troubled
with
feare
of
want
,
Almighty
God
who
neuer
faileth
nor
forsaketh
them
that
are
his
,
did
send
you
a
comfortable
supply
vnlooked
for
.
While
that
was
spending
,
your
looking
for
more
supplies
out
of
England
,
and
following
Tobacco
too
greedily
,
did
cause
you
to
neglect
setting
of
Corne
,
whereby
you
were
brought
into
great
want
.
Then
the
number
of
people
encreasing
,
and
as
they
encreased
,
sin
and
disorder
did
also
encrease
,
which
brought
the
correcting
hand
of
God
vpon
you
many
wayes
,
so
as
diuers
did
perish
very
miserably
:
but
,
consider
I
pray
you
,
that
most
of
them
that
so
dyed
,
were
vngodly
,
slothfull
,
and
heartlesse
men
,
which
sheweth
plainely
that
God
hath
not
reserued
these
Ilands
from
the
beginning
of
the
world
,
to
bestow
them
now
vpon
such
,
as
shall
dishonour
and
prouoke
him
euery
day
,
as
many
of
them
did
.
I
cannot
but
wonder
,
when
I
thinke
vpon
the
nastinesse
&
loathsome
lazinesse
,
wherein
too
many
of
them
died
,
〈◇〉
night
and
day
for
meat
,
notwithstanding
they
had
m●●●●nough
,
if
not
too
much
;
for
,
they
did
nothing
night
and
day
but
dresse
,
and
eate
,
and
so
greedy
,
as
they
would
not
stay
till
their
meate
was
sod
;
but
more
like
dogges
then
Christians
did
deuoure
it
blood
rawe
.
The
first
night
that
I
lay
in
the
Iland
,
which
you
call
Coopers
Iland
(
whither
the
lazie-staruing-crue
were
sent
,
and
with
them
,
some
honest
industrious
persons
,
though
then
much
out
of
heart
,
and
now
liuing
,
and
well
,
thanks
be
vnto
God
)
when
I
saw
in
euery
Cabbin
,
Pots
&
Kettles
full
of
birds
boyling
,
and
some
on
Spits
rosting
,
and
the
silly
wilde
birds
comming
in
so
tame
into
my
Cabbin
,
and
goe
so
familiarly
betweene
my
feet
,
and
round
about
the
Cabbin
,
and
into
the
fire
,
with
a
strange
lamentable
noyse
,
as
though
they
did
bemoane
vs
,
and
bid
vs
take
,
kill
,
roast
,
and
eate
them
:
I
was
much
amazed
,
and
at
length
said
within
my selfe
,
surely
the
tamenesse
of
these
wilde
birds
,
and
their
offring
of
themselues
to
be
taken
,
is
a
manifest
token
of
the
goodnesse
of
God
,
euen
of
his
loue
,
his
care
,
his
mercy
and
power
working
together
,
to
saue
this
people
from
staruing
.
Mr.
Moore
then
Gouernour
,
fearing
that
their
ouer
eating
themselues
,
would
be
their
destruction
,
did
remoue
them
from
thence
to
Port
Ryoll
,
where
they
found
but
little
,
or
no
want
:
for
,
birds
they
had
there
also
,
brought
to
them
,
euery
weeke
,
from
the
Ilands
adioyning
,
whither
some
were
sent
of
purpose
to
bird
for
them
:
Also
they
had
fish
brought
vnto
them
,
a
Boates
loading
at
a
time
,
and
Palmetoe
Berries
,
which
you
know
are
so
wholesome
and
nourishing
,
as
a
man
may
liue
well
with
them
,
and
be
in
heart
,
and
strength
,
though
he
haue
nothing
else
:
notwithstanding
all
this
,
they
died
miserably
,
some
with
meat
in
their
mouthes
crying
for
more
.
This
surely
was
a
great
iudgement
of
God
vpon
those
slothfull
and
greedy
belly-Gods
,
and
a
manifest
signe
and
token
(
as
I
said
euen
now
)
that
God
hath
not
reserued
these
Ilands
from
the
beginning
of
the
world
till
now
,
to
bestow
them
vpon
such
as
shall
prouoke
him
euery
day
,
as
many
of
them
did
.
The
correcting
hand
of
God
,
which
then
lay
heauiest
vpon
the
lazie
ones
,
did
stretch
out
it selfe
ouer
all
,
euen
the
most
industrious
,
when
their
Lines
,
Hooks
and
Nets
were
worne
out
,
so
as
many
of
them
also
died
.
6
You
that
came
in
the
first
Ship
with
Mr.
Moore
,
being
about
60.
persons
,
haue
great
cause
to
praise
God
for
his
goodnes
in
preseruing
you
;
so
as
you
are
now
all
aliue
in
health
and
strength
,
except
one
that
was
killed
with
shooting
off
a
great
Peece
:
it
is
now
almost
nine
yeares
since
you
came
hither
.
God
make
you
all
thankfull
,
the
worst
(
by
the
grace
of
God
)
is
past
;
your
hope
and
common
talke
is
,
that
(
by
the
helpe
of
God
)
you
shall
neuer
see
the
want
,
that
you
haue
seene
.
Now
that
a
constant
course
is
held
in
planting
of
Corne
,
you
are
sure
by
the
blessing
of
God
to
haue
two
Wheat
Haruests
euery
yeare
,
with
lesse
labour
then
they
haue
one
in
England
,
because
here
is
neither
plowing
nor
harrowing
.
You
haue
plenty
of
good
Fish
,
if
you
will
take
paines
to
goe
out
to
Sea
for
it
.
In
stead
of
the
plenty
of
wilde
Hogges
,
that
you
found
here
at
your
first
arriuall
,
you
haue
tame
Hogges
,
and
also
Turkyes
and
Powltry
,
so
many
as
you
can
keepe
.
The
Kine
in
St.
Georges
Iland
(
you
see
)
doe
multiply
and
prosper
well
,
so
as
in
time
,
by
the
blessing
of
God
,
they
will
be
a
great
comfort
vnto
you
;
so
will
the
Goates
also
,
if
care
be
had
of
them
.
Potatoes
you
haue
plenty
,
as
good
as
any
bee
in
the
world
,
Plantynes
,
Pynes
,
and
other
delicate
Indian
fruits
,
you
are
like
to
haue
plenty
,
if
you
will
haue
a
care
to
plant
them
.
Also
if
(
according
to
the
Statute
made
in
the
first
yeare
of
Captaine
Butler
his
gouernment
)
you
make
your
Fences
of
Figge
and
Pomgranate
Trees
,
you
will
haue
more
Figges
and
Pomgranates
then
you
will
be
able
to
spend
:
what
a
comfort
will
it
be
vnto
you
,
to
haue
all
your
Fences
of
Figge
Trees
&
Pomgranate
Trees
?
the
like
(
I
think
)
is
not
to
be
found
in
the
world
.
Sugar
Canes
,
though
they
are
not
like
to
proue
any
marchantable
commodity
,
yet
they
will
be
a
great
comfort
to
you
many
wayes
.
The
Casaua
roote
is
like
to
prooue
a
great
blessing
of
God
vnto
you
,
because
it
makes
as
fine
white
bread
as
can
be
made
of
Wheat
,
and
(
as
I
am
perswaded
)
wholsome
,
because
the
Indians
that
liue
of
it
,
are
tall
and
strong
men
.
The
bread
will
keepe
as
long
as
Bisket
,
and
therefore
good
for
the
Forts
.
If
it
yeeld
a
little
,
and
become
soft
,
doe
but
lay
it
out
in
the
Sunne
,
and
it
will
bee
as
hard
,
as
when
it
was
first
baked
.
The
planting
of
Casaua
would
not
be
neglected
,
because
it
is
a
sure
foode
:
your
Corne
is
subiect
to
blasting
,
and
to
the
wormes
,
so
is
not
the
Casaua
.
How
to
make
Bread
of
Casaua
rootes
.
FIrst
wash
,
and
scrape
cleane
;
or
pare
away
the
out-side
.
Then
grate
the
root
vpon
a
Grater
,
as
you
do
bread
:
get
Graters
made
of
purpose
,
with
holes
somewhat
bigger
then
ordinary
.
If
you
want
a
Grater
,
you
may
make
shift
with
a
rough
pumish
stone
,
wherof
you
may
finde
some
vpon
the
Bayes
by
the
Sea
side
,
or
with
nayles
broad
pointed
,
driuen
thick
through
a
bord
.
Presse
out
the
iuice
through
a
Bagge
of
haire
,
as
you
doe
Veriuice
;
then
spread
the
grated
roote
vpon
a
cleane
cloath
in
the
Sunne
to
dry
.
That
which
will
not
goe
through
the
Siue
,
beat
in
a
Morter
till
it
be
small
like
meale
,
and
fift
it
againe
.
Take
the
sifted
roote
,
and
strew
it
in
a
cleane
dripping
panne
,
and
put
it
into
the
Ouen
,
and
it
will
bake
in
a
quarter
of
an
houre
.
The
Ouen
must
not
be
too
hot
.
You
must
not
knead
the
roote
,
as
you
doe
Dowe
,
nor
put
water
to
it
,
but
strew
it
dry
,
like
Saw-dust
,
almost
an
inch
thicke
.
If
you
haue
no
Ouen
,
you
may
bake
it
on
a
Triuet
or
three
stones
,
with
a
little
fire
,
if
you
make
a
great
fire
,
it
will
not
bake
,
but
crumble
like
Saw-dust
:
remember
to
turne
it
three
or
foure
times
,
vnlesse
you
bake
it
in
a
Ouen
,
then
it
needes
no
turning
.
Your
chiefe
and
Merchantable
commodity
for
the
present
is
Tobacco
:
pray
to
God
to
blesse
you
with
some
other
commodity
,
which
may
be
more
to
his
glory
,
and
comfort
of
his
people
then
Tobacco
is
.
There
is
great
hope
of
the
Silke-worme
,
Captaine
Butler
your
Gouernour
saith
,
that
the
Mulberrie
Trees
growing
in
the
Summer
Ilands
,
are
as
good
,
if
not
better
,
then
those
,
that
he
hath
seene
,
where
silke
is
made
.
The
Spiders
doe
make
perfect
Silke
;
therfore
I
am
perswaded
there
is
no
doubt
to
be
made
of
the
Silke-worme
,
faile
not
therefore
to
plant
Mulberrie
Trees
neere
your
houses
,
that
you
may
haue
meat
at
hand
for
the
Wormes
,
when
they
shall
be
sent
you
.
Forget
not
the
goodnes
of
God
,
in
manifesting
the
loue
and
care
that
he
hath
of
you
,
by
blessing
you
with
a
Parliament
,
wherein
diuers
Lawes
and
Statutes
fitting
your
estate
,
and
agreeing
with
the
Lawes
of
England
,
haue
been
made
:
wherein
also
I
obserue
the
good
hand
of
God
,
in
that
(
notwithstanding
your
discontentments
and
greeuances
were
many
;
and
that
diuers
did
purpose
(
as
I
did
gather
by
their
speeches
)
to
stand
stifly
or
rather
obstinatly
to
haue
things
caried
according
to
their
owne
wills
,
so
as
I
did
feare
it
would
prooue
,
an
vnhappy
,
long
,
and
troublesome
Parliament
.
)
It
pleased
God
so
to
direct
Captaine
Butler
your
Gouernour
in
the
ordering
of
it
,
and
also
to
change
the
minde
of
diuers
of
the
Burgesses
,
as
when
they
were
assembled
,
there
was
such
reasonablenesse
and
sweet
vnity
of
mindes
euen
in
all
,
as
the
Bils
did
passe
,
and
were
graunted
on
all
sides
,
readily
,
and
cheerefully
,
which
to
me
seemeth
a
great
worke
of
wonder
,
and
a
manifest
signe
,
that
God
,
who
is
the
God
of
loue
and
peace
,
was
in
the
midst
of
vs
,
guiding
and
assisting
vs
with
his
holy
spirit
;
his
holy
and
great
name
be
therefore
praised
.
I
hope
that
God
will
giue
the
like
blessing
to
the
next
Parliament
,
and
in
his
good
time
establish
a
good
pollitick
ciuill
estate
amongst
you
.
Consider
well
I
pray
you
of
the
goodnes
of
the
Lord
Iesus
,
in
choosing
and
taking
you
out
of
his
Vineyard
in
England
,
and
in
bringing
you
into
these
Ilands
,
to
plant
you
here
,
so
as
now
these
Ilands
also
,
which
formerly
haue
beene
called
the
Iland
of
Deuils
,
are
become
the
Vineyard
of
the
Lord
Iesus
,
and
you
the
plants
that
his
right
hand
hath
planted
here
.
Consider
I
pray
you
of
this
,
and
take
heede
that
you
bring
not
forth
the
sower
Grapes
of
vnthankfulnesse
and
disobedience
,
least
God
doe
to
his
Vineyard
here
as
he
did
to
his
Vineyard
in
Iudea
;
when
it
did
so
,
hee
tooke
away
the
hedges
,
brake
downe
the
walles
,
and
laide
it
waste
.
Isai

.
Consider
also
of
the
goodnes
of
God
in
preseruing
all
Shippes
belonging
to
these
Ilands
,
so
as
none
haue
beene
cast
away
neither
going
nor
comming
:
true
it
is
that
this
last
yeare
1619.
a
Ship
was
cast
away
,
not
going
nor
comming
,
but
riding
at
anker
in
the
harbour
.
My
heart
giueth
me
,
that
among
other
sinnes
,
the
abominable
sinne
of
Drunkennesse
,
that
aboundeth
among
you
,
euery
shipping
time
,
did
much
further
the
bringing
of
that
iudgement
vpon
her
,
to
admonish
some
to
bee
no
longer
Bawds
to
Drunkennesse
,
by
sending
ouer
so
much
Aqua-vitae
,
and
also
to
admonish
you
to
suppresse
Drunkennesse
and
all
other
sinnes
,
as
much
as
you
can
,
which
doe
abound
too
much
among
you
,
to
the
great
dishonor
of
Almighty
God
,
and
daily
prouoking
of
him
to
wrath
.
Forget
not
the
iudgement
that
God
hath
shewed
on
Drunkards
among
you
.
In
Summerset
,
you
know
how
one
died
suddainly
with
drinking
himselfe
dead
drunke
.
Also
in
the
Towne
at
St.
Georges
,
a
man
of
Summerset
drunke
himselfe
dead
drunke
,
and
being
by
a
Coroners
Inquest
found
guilty
of
his
owne
death
,
was
by
the
commandement
of
Captaine
Butler
your
Gouernour
,
buried
in
the
high
way
,
with
a
stake
driuen
through
him
,
by
them
in
whose
company
hee
dranke
himselfe
dead
,
each
of
them
hauing
a
paper
on
his
backe
with
this
superscription
,
These
are
the
Companions
of
him
,
which
killed
himselfe
with
drinking
.
Two
of
the
most
notorious
of
them
were
punished
,
the
one
whipped
at
the
whipping
Post
,
the
other
(
because
he
was
a
Souldier
)
did
ride
the
Cannon
,
shot
off
full
charged
,
which
did
shake
him
terribly
.
Forget
not
the
Boats
of
Summerset
that
were
ouer-turned
with
the
keele
vpward
,
and
some
of
the
men
drowned
,
because
they
that
should
guide
them
,
were
troubled
in
their
braines
with
Aqua-vitae
.
Let
not
the
hand
of
God
,
which
lay
heauy
vpon
you
in
Captaine
Tuckers
time
,
be
forgotten
,
when
the
Rats
did
abound
,
and
goe
by
Sea
,
from
Iland
to
Iland
,
so
as
no
Iland
was
free
,
but
all
were
like
so
many
Coney-Warrens
:
I
say
they
went
by
Sea
,
from
Iland
to
Iland
,
because
fishes
haue
diuers
times
been
taken
three
leagues
off
at
Sea
,
with
Rats
in
their
mawes
,
which
sheweth
plainly
,
that
the
Rats
did
swim
,
and
were
snapt
vp
of
the
fishes
.
Consider
what
a
plague
of
God
they
were
vnto
you
both
within
dores
,
and
without
:
within
,
they
deuoured
your
Corne
,
and
other
prouision
of
foode
,
and
your
cloathes
and
shooes
,
(
as
my selfe
hath
good
cause
to
remember
:
)
without
,
they
deuoured
your
Corne
by
scraping
it
out
of
the
ground
:
when
it
was
new
set
,
the
Grains
which
were
thrust
in
so
deepe
,
as
they
could
not
scrape
vp
,
vntill
God
in
mercy
hearing
our
poore
prayers
,
tooke
them
away
,
on
the
sodaine
in
three
or
foure
dayes
,
I
mention
the
time
,
because
I
tooke
good
notice
of
it
.
Assoone
as
the
Rats
were
destroyed
,
wilde
Cats
,
that
were
neither
seene
nor
knowne
,
to
be
in
any
such
aboundance
,
came
marching
out
of
the
Woods
,
to
your
houses
,
sixe
,
seauen
,
or
eight
in
a
company
:
then
it
was
in
euery
bodies
mouth
that
the
Cats
had
destroyed
the
Rats
,
and
some
said
,
that
the
coldnesse
of
the
Winter
killed
them
.
I
remember
indeede
,
that
we
had
a
very
colde
time
a
little
before
they
were
destroyed
,
which
(
I
am
perswaded
)
God
in
mercy
did
send
,
for
the
killing
of
them
:
therefore
giue
the
glory
to
God
and
not
to
the
Cats
,
nor
(
as
some
doe
to
the
Traps
,
nor
to
the
ruinating
of
the
Ilands
with
fire
;
and
take
heede
,
that
your
vnthankfulnes
bring
them
not
againe
,
or
some
other
plague
as
bad
.
Haue
God
alwayes
in
minde
,
and
pray
for
grace
to
set
forth
the
praise
and
glory
of
his
holy
and
great
name
,
according
to
the

What
are
the
things
that
wee
ought
most
to
thinke
of
,
on
the
Sabaoth
day
?
Ans.
First
,
forasmuch
as
the
Sabaoth
is
kept
in
remembrance
of
the
goodnesse
of
God
the
Father
towards
vs
in
his
worke
of
Creation
;
we
ought
therefore
to
thinke
vpon
him
,
and
his
goodnesse
,
and
therewith
comfort
our selues
,
and
stirre
vp
our
hearts
to
loue
him
,
to
reioyce
in
him
,
and
to
praise
his
holy
name
.
When
we
thinke
vpon
God
,
as
he
is
the
Creator
of
all
things
,
wee
ought
then
also
to
thinke
of
him
,
as
he
is
the
preseruer
,
ruler
,
gouernour
,
and
disposer
of
all
things
,
and
therein
take
notice
of
his
wisedome
,
power
,
prouidence
and
goodnes
,
and
praise
him
for
the
same
.
A●so
wee
ought
then
to
thinke
vpon
our
duty
towards
him
,
as
he
is
Creator
,
Preseruer
,
Gouernour
and
disposer
of
all
things
,
and
examine
our selues
whither
we
doe
our
duty
.
If
our
consciences
tell
vs
that
we
doe
not
,
we
ought
then
to
be
heartily
sorrie
,
and
with
grieued
hearts
desire
God
to
forgiue
vs
for
Christ
his
sake
,
and
to
giue
vs
grace
to
amend
.
Quest
.
What
is
our
duty
towards
God
,
as
he
is
the
Creator
of
all
things
?
Ans●
.
Our
duty
is
,
from
our
hearts
to
acknowledge
God
the
Father
,
Sonne
,
and
holy
Ghost
,
three
persons
and
one
God
,
to
bee
the
Creator
of
all
things
,
and
that
therefore
all
things
are
his
,
and
for
his
sake
ought
to
be
regarded
,
and
no
way
abused
,
nor
cruelly
handled
:
no
,
not
such
creatures
as
are
hurtfull
,
and
which
we
may
lawfully
hunt
and
destroy
:
when
they
fall
into
our
hands
,
we
ought
to
shew
mercy
on
them
,
by
ridding
them
out
of
their
liues
as
soone
as
we
can
,
and
not
sport
our selues
with
tormenting
them
.
Also
for
as
much
as
there
is
no
creature
,
but
in
the
creation
of
it
,
and
end
wherfore
it
was
created
,
the
wisedome
,
power
,
and
goodnesse
of
God
doth
appeare
,
our
duty
is
therefore
to
take
notice
of
his
wisedome
,
power
,
&
goodnesse
in
euery
thing
,
and
to
praise
him
for
the
same
;
especially
for
his
goodnesse
in
creating
all
things
to
serue
vs
,
and
vs
to
serue
him
.
Qu

What
is
our
duty
towards
God
as

the
preseruer
of
all

Answer
.
Our
duty
is
,
from
our
hearts
to
acknowledge
God
the
Father
,
Sonne
,
and
holy
Ghost
,
to
bee
the
preseruer
of
all
things
,
as
the
Prophet
Dauid
doth
,
Psal
.
145.15.16.147.8.9
.
and
therein
also
take
notice
of
his
wisedome
,
power
,
prouidence
and
goodnes
,
and
to
praise
him
for
the
same
,
especially
for
his
goodnes
in
preseruing
vs
so
graciously
as
hee
hath
done
,
from
the
houre
that
wee
were
borne
to
this
houre
,
and
aboue
all
things
,
for
preseruing
vs
to
eternall
life
,
through
Iesus
Christ
.
Also
in
regard
that
God
hath
a
care
of
vs
,
our
duty
is
to
cast
our
care
vpon
him
,
1.
Pet
.
1.7
.
and
seeke
vnto
him
by
prayer
,
for
such
things
as
wee
stand
in
neede
of
,
according
to
the
meaning
of
the
fourth
petition
of
the
Lords
prayer
.
Quest
.
What
is
our
duty
towards
God
as
he
is
the
gouernour
of
all
things
?
Answ
.
Our
duty
is
to
submit
our selues
vnto
him
to
be
ruled
and
gouerned
by
him
,
according
to
the
meaning
of
the
second
petition
of
the
Lords
prayers
,
and
to
forsake
our
owne
wills
to
doe
his
will
,
according
to
the
meaning
of
the
third
petition
.
Quest
.
What
is
our
duty
towards
God
,
as
he
is
the
disposer
of
all
things
?
Answ
.
Our
duty
is
to
be
well
content
with
that
estate
of
life
,
wherein
it
shall
please
God
to
place
vs
,
Phil
.
4.11.12
.
and
patiently
to
beare
whatsoeuer
shall
please
him
to
lay
vpon
vs
,
either
for
our
sinnes
as
Eli
did
,
1.
Sam
.
3.18
.
or
for
our
triall
as
Iob
did
,
Iob
1.21
.
Wee
ought
euery
day
to
thinke
vpon
,
and
to
haue
a
care
of
our
duty
towards
God
,
especially
on
the
Sabaoth
day
.
Secondly
,
for
as
much
as
the
Apostles
did
(
by
the
motion
of
Gods
holy
spirit
)
change
the
day
,
so
as
our
Sabaoth
is
not
that
day
whereon
God
the
Father
rested
from
his
workes
of
creation
:
but
,
the
day
whereon
our
●●uiour
Christ
did
rise
againe
from
the
dead
for
our
iustification
.
We
ought
therfore
to
think
vpon
our
Sauiour
Christ
,
&
his
goodnes
towards
vs
,
and
therewith
also
comfort
our selues
,
and
stirre
vp
our
hearts
to
loue
him
,
to
reioyce
in
him
,
and
to
praise
his
holy
name
,
because
it
is
written
,
That
all
men
should
honour
the
Sonne
,
as
they
honour
the
Father
:
he
that
honoureth
not
the
Sonne
,
the
same
honoureth
not
the
Father
,
Ioh
.

.
Thirdly
,
in
regard
the
Sabaoth
was
ordained
for
the
publick
worship
,
and
seruice
of
God
;
we
ought
therefore
to
thinke
vpon
that
publick
worship
and
seruice
,
and
of
the
time
,
place
,
and
manner
of
assembling
thereunto
:
and
haue
a
care
to
prepare
our selues
,
by
holy
meditations
and
prayer
;
that
we
may
be
ready
presently
to
ioyne
,
with
the
congregation
in
that
part
of
Gods
worship
,
that
is
then
in
hand
,
as
if
the
Minister
be
then
reading
or
preaching
the
word
of
God
,
we
ought
not
then
to
kneele
,
and
pray
,
as
many
doe
,
but
hearken
to
Gods
word
:
or
if
the
Minister
&
people
be
praying
or
singing
of
Psalmes
,
we
ought
presently
without
any
delay
to
ioyne
with
them
.

Quest

What
ought
wee
to
thinke
vpon
,
all
the
while
that
wee
are
in
the
publick
assembly
?
Answ
.
All
that
while
,
we
ought
to
thinke
and
consider
with
our selues
,
that
wee
are
there
after
a
speciall
manner
in
the
presence
of
God
,
and
that
therefore
as
in
all
other
places
,
so
especially
there
wee
ought
to
haue
a
care
to
behaue
our selues
,
so
as
wee
giue
no
offence
vnto
his
holy
Maiestie
.
Quest
.
When
the
publick
worship
is
ended
,
what
ought
wee
to
thinke
vpon
then
?
Answ
.
Wee
ought
then
presently
to
thinke
vpon
the
goodnes
of
God
in
bringing
vs
together
,
in
health
and
strength
of
body
and
minde
,
in
peace
and
safety
from
all
enemies
,
to
worship
him
,
and
with
all
our
hearts
to
gi●e
him
thanks
.
We
ought
then
also
to
thinke
vpon
our
weaknes●●
and
by-thoughts
,
in
calling
vpon
his
holy
name
,
and
in
hear●ening
vnto
his
holy
word
,
and
desire
him
for
Christ
his
sake
to
forgiue
vs.
All
this
wee
may
doe
as
we
are
rising
,
and
going
from
our
seates
to
the
Church
dore
.
Then
next
as
wee
are
going
from
Gods
hou●e
,
to
our
owne
houses
,
and
when
we
are
come
home
,
wee
ought
to
thinke
vpon
the
holy
word
of
God
,
which
was
read
and
preached
vnto
vs
,
and
meditate
vpon
it
,
whi●●●t
is
●●●●h
in
our
memory
,
and
desire
God
to
blesse
it
vnto
vs.
When
we
thinke
vpon
Gods
word
,
we
ought
th●●
also
to
thinke
vpon
our
liues
and
conuersations
,
whither
they
be
according
to
Gods
word
.
Those
things
which
we
shall
see
,
by
the
●●ght
of
Gods
word
to
be
amisse
in
vs
;
we
ought
then
to
grieue
to
think
vpon
them
,
and
with
grieued
hearts
desire
God
for
Christ
his
sake
to
forgiue
vs
,
and
to
grant
vs
grace
to
amend
.
Also
we
ought
then
,
to
resolue
and
purpose
with
our
selues
,
by
the
grace
of
God
to
amend
,
without
any
further
prolonging
of
time
.
Also
,
forasmuch
as
God
will
not
forgiue
vs
our
sinnes
,
except
we
also
forgiue
them
,
that
haue
offended
vs
:
wee
ought
therefore
to
thinke
vpon
such
,
as
haue
offended
vs
,
and
forgiue
them
with
all
our
hearts
,
and
also
resolue
and
purpose
(
by
the
grace
of
God
)
to
loue
them
,
and
of
loue
,
to
doe
them
all
the
good
we
can
.
Lastly
,
forasmuch
as
God
will
not
heare
our
prayers
,
vntill
we
haue
done
our
best
endeuour
,
to
be
reconciled
vnto
such
,
as
wee
haue
offended
;
wee
ought
therefore
to
thinke
vpon
them
,
and
vse
all
the
good
meanes
we
can
,
to
be
reconciled
vnto
them
;
this
we
ought
to
doe
euery
day
,
especially
on
the
Sabaoth
day
.
Quest
.
What
ought
to
be
our
chiefest
talke
vpon
the
Sabaoth

Our
chiefest
talke
ought
to
be

God
,
and
of
his
workes

,
and
Sacraments
,
especially
of
his
word
,
which
was
read

Yes

Ans.
No

vnlesse
it
be

because
their

to
quench
the
rage
of

to
dresse

but
not
to

because
thereby

kept

vpon
any
such
occasion

wee
are
absent
from

our

as
to
cause

that
we
cannot
be

not
the

No

called
the

they
had
singing

was
made
of
purpose

day
,
to
stirre
vp
the
people
to
acknowledge
God

all

Spirit
,

thei●
to
eternall
life
through
Iesus

Besides
,
the
fealing
and
confirming
of
these
promises
,
God
doth
in
,
&
by
Baptisme
renue
th●
conditions
whereon
these
promises
were
made
,
and
by
Baptisme
doth
bind
euery
of
his
Elect
,
that
commeth
to
be
baptised
,
to
performe
the
same
;
as
first
,
that
he
shall
take
God
the
Father
for
his
God
,
and
Father
,
and
take
his
beloued
Sonne
Iesus
Christ

his
Lord

holy
Spirit

sanctifier
,
guide

thereof
,
to
God
the
Father
,
and
to
God
the
Sonne
,
as
well
as

the
holy
Ghost
proceedeth
from
the
Father
,
and
the
Sonne
,
so
as
whatsoeuer
the
holy
Ghost
doth
,

,
by
the
holy

.
Secondly
,

you
haue

doth
in

the
party
baptised
doth

Answ
.
The
party
baptised
,
by
giuing
his
name
vnto
God
;
and
by
receiuing
of
Baptisme
,
as
an
earnest
penny
,
or
presse
money
,
and

whereby

houshold
seruants

Sathan
and
sinne
,
and
whatsoeuer
is
against
the

be
a
mutuall
obligation
betweene

and
his
Elect
,
wherein
they
stand

for
it
is
the

Supper
now
,
as
it
was
then
,
&
the
Lord
Iesus
is

as
well
as

the
chiefe
Minister
of
it
.
Quest

Very
plainely
:
for
it
is
written
,
that

had
eaten
the

,
he
rose

and
as
the

was

did
dip
their
morsels
in
the
Platter

gaue
it
to

Quest
.
Why
was
the
Lords
Supper
ordained
after
Supper
,
and
after
the
banquet
when
then
stomacks
were
full
?
Answ
.
To
shew
that
it
was
not
ordained
so
much
for
the
belly
,
as
for
the
soule
;
therefore
men
comming
to
the
Lords
Table
,
must
not
looke
to
haue
their
bellies
filled
,
but
their
soules
comforted
.
Quest
.
Wh●ther
ought
is
now
to
bee
receiued
fasting
,
or
after
one
hath
eaten
something
?
Answ
.
To
re●ceiue
it
fasting
,
or
after
one
hath
eaten
somthing
,
is
indifferent
,
so
as
eating
and
drinking
before
bee
not
excess●ue
;
not
fasting
,
be
not
an
occasion
of
fainting
;
or
thinking
the
time
that
is
spent
in
the
worship
of
God
,
to
be
too
long
and
tedious
,
howbeit
,
for
those
who
are
not
of
weake
stomacks
,
I
hold
most
conuenient
to
receiue
it
fasting
,
because
then
wee
are
the
better
sitted
for
holy
duties
.

Why
of

the

that
all

that
they

How
doth
the
Bread

As

strengthen
the

What
benefit
haue
the
Faithfull

is

How

about
worldly
businesses
and
pleasures
on
the
Saboth

it
holy

God
hath
set
it
a
part

it
holy
.
Quest

the
Seauenth
day
