and

the
benefit
and

of

readily
apprehended
by
divers
Gentlemen

of

who
thereupon
resolued
to

in
the
pursuite
of
so
noble

(
in
all
likelihood
)
so
aduantagious
an
enterprize
.
His
Lordship
was
at
first
resolued
to
goe
in
person
;
but
the
more
important
reasons
perswading
his
stay
at

,
hee
appointed

a
small
gale
of
winde
comming
gently
from
the
North-West
,
they
weighed
from
the
Cowes
in
the
Isle
of
Wight
,
about
ten
in
the
morning
;
And
having
stayed
by
the
way
Twenty
dayes
at
the
Barbada's
,
and
Fourteene
dayes
at
Saint
Christophers
(
upon
some
necessary
occasions
)
they
arrived
at
Point
Comfort
in
Virginia
,
on
the
foure
&
twentyeth
of
February
following
.
They
had
Letters
from
his
Majesty
,
in
favor
of
them
,
to
the
Governour
of
Virginia
,
in
obedience
whereunto
,
he
used
them
with
much
courtesie
and
humanitie
.
At
this
time
,
one
Captaine
Cleyborne
(
one
of
the
Councel
of
Virginia
)
comming
from
the
parts
whether
they
intended
to
goe
,
told
them
that
all
the
Natives
were
in
preparation
of
defence
by
reason
of
a
rumor
some
had
raised
amongst
them
,
that
6.
shippes
were
to
come
with
many
people
,
who
would
drive
all
the
inhabitants
out
of
the
Countrey
.
On
the
3.
of
March
,
they
left
Point
Comfort
,
Patowmeck
,
is
a
great
River
of
the
Province
of
Maryland
▪
on
which
they
intend●d
,
to
seate
the
first
Colony
.
&
2.
dayes
after
,
they
came
to
Patowmeck
river
,
which
is
about
24.
leagues
distant
,
there
they
began
to
give
names
to
places
,
and
called
the
Southerne
point
of
that
River
,
Saint
Gregories
;
and
the
Northerne
point
,
Saint
Michaels
.
They
sayled
up
the
River
,
till
they
came
to
Heron
Iland
,
which
is
about
14.
leagues
,
and
So
called
from
the
aboundance
of
that
Fowle
there
.
there
came
to
an
Anchor
under
an
Island
neere
unto
it
,
which
they
called
S.
Clements
.
Where
they
set
up
a
Crosse
,
and
tooke
possession
of
this
Countrey
for
our
Saviour
,
and
for
our
Soveraigne
Lord
the
King
of
England
.
Heere
the
Governor
thought
fit
for
the
ship
to
stay
,
vntill
hee
had
discovered
more
of
the
Countrey
:
and
so
hee
tooke
two
Pinnaces
,
and
The
Dove
,
and
one
hyred
in
Virgin●a
.
went
up
the
River
some
4.
leagues
,
and
landed
on
the
South
side
,
where
he
found
the
Indians
fled
for
feare
,
from
thence
hee
sayled
some
9.
leagues
higher
to
Patowmeck
Towne
where
the
Werowance
being
a
child
,
Archibau
his
vnckle
So
they
call
their
Princes
.
(
who
governed
him
and
his
Countrey
for
him
)
gave
all
the
company
good
wellcome
,
and
one
of
the
company
having
entered
into
a
little
discourse
with
him
,
touching
the
errours
of
their
religion
,
hee
seemed
well
pleased
therewith
;
and
at
his
going
away
,
desired
him
to
returne
thither
againe
,
saying
he
should
live
with
him
,
his
men
should
hunt
for
him
,
and
hee
would
divide
all
with
him
.
From
hence
the
Governor
went
to
Pasehatoway
,
about
20.
leagues
higher
,
where
he
found
many
Indians
assembled
,
and
heere
he
met
with
one
Captaine
Henry
Fleete
an
English-man
,
who
had
lived
many
yeeres
among
the
Indians
,
and
by
that
meanes
spake
the
Countrey
language
very
well
,
and
was
much
esteemed
of
by
the
natives
.
Him
our
Governour
sent
a
shore
to
invite
the
Werowance
to
a
parley
,
who
thereupon
came
with
him
aboard
privatly
,
where
he
was
courteously
entertained
,
and
after
some
parley
being
demanded
by
the
Governour
,
whether
hee
would
be
content
that
he
and
his
people
should
set
downe
in
his
Countrey
,
in
case
he
should
find
a
place
conuenient
for
him
,
his
answere
was
,
that
he
would
not
bid
him
goe
,
neither
would
&
hee
bid
him
stay
,
but
that
he
might
use
his
owne
discretion
.
While
this
Werowance
was
aboard
,
many
of
his
people
came
to
the
water
side
,
fearing
that
he
might
be
surprised
,
whereupon
the
Werowance
commanded
two
Indians
that
came
with
him
,
to
goe
on
shore
,
to
quit
them
of
this
feare
,
but
they
answered
,
they
feared
they
wou'd
kill
them
;
The
Werowance
therefore
shewed
himselfe
upon
the
decke
,
and
told
them
hee
was
in
safety
,
wherewith
they
were
satisfied
.
Whilest
the
Governour
was
abroad
,
the
neighbouring
Indians
,
where
the
ship
lay
,
began
to
cast
off
feare
,
and
to
come
to
their
Court
of
guard
,
which
they
kept
night
and
day
upon
Saint
Clements
I
le
,
partly
to
defend
their
barge
,
which
was
brought
in
pieces
out
of
England
,
and
there
made
up
;
and
partly
to
defend
their
men
which
were
imployed
in
felling
of
trees
,
and
cleaving
pales
for
a
Palizado
,
and
at
last
they
ventured
to
come
aboard
the
ship
.
The
Governour
finding
it
not
fit
,
for
many
reasons
,
to
seate
himselfe
as
yet
so
high
in
the
River
,
resolued
to
returne
backe
againe
,
and
to
take
a
more
exact
view
of
the
lower
parts
,
and
so
leaving
the
Ship
&
Pinnaces
there
,
he
tooke
his
Barge
(
as
most
fit
to
search
the
Creekes
,
and
small
rivers
)
and
was
conducted
by
Captaine
Fleete
(
who
knew
well
the
Countrey
)
to
a
River
on
the
North-side
of
Patomeck
river
,
within
4.
or
5.
leagues
from
the
mouth
thereof
,
which
they
called
Saint
Georges
River
.
They
went
up
this
river
about
4.
Leagues
,
and
anchored
at
the
Towne
of
Yoacomaco
:
from
whence
the
Indians
of
that
part
of
the
Countrey
,
are
called
the
Yoacomacoes
:
At
their
comming
to
this
place
,
the
Governour
went
on
shoare
,
and
treated
friendly
with
the
Werowance
there
,
and
acquainted
him
with
the
intent
of
his
comming
thither
,
to
which
hee
made
little
answere
(
as
it
is
their
manner
,
to
any
new
or
suddaine
question
)
but
entertained
him
,
and
his
company
that
night
in
his
house
,
and
gave
him
his
owne
bed
to
lie
on
(
which
is
a
matt
layd
on
boords
)
and
the
next
day
,
went
to
shew
him
the
country
;
and
that
day
being
spent
in
viewing
the
places
about
that
towne
,
and
the
fresh
waters
,
which
there
are
very
plentifull
,
and
excellent
good
(
but
the
maine
rivers
are
salt
)
the
Governor
determined
to
make
the
first
Colony
there
,
and
so
gave
order
for
the
Ship
and
Pinnaces
to
come
thither
.
This
place
he
found
to
be
a
very
commodious
situation
for
a
Towne
,
in
regard
the
land
is
good
▪
the
ayre
wholsome
and
pleasant
,
the
River
affords
a
safe
harbour
for
ships
of
any
burthen
,
and
a
very
bould
shoare
;
fresh
water
,
and
wood
there
is
in
great
plenty
,
and
the
place
so
naturally
fortified
,
as
with
little
difficultie
,
it
will
be
defended
from
any
enemie
.
To
make
his
entry
peaceable
and
safe
,
hee
thought
fit
to
present
the
Werowance
and
the
Wisoes
of
the
Towne
with
some
English
Cloth
,
So
they
call
the
chiefe
men
of
Accompt
amongst
them
.
(
such
as
is
used
in
trade
with
the
Indians
)
Axes
,
Howes
,
and
Knives
,
which
they
accepted
very
kindly
,
and
freely
gave
consent
that
hee
and
his
company
should
dwell
in
one
part
of
their
Towne
,
and
reserued
the
other
for
themselues
:
and
those
Indians
that
dwelt
in
that
part
of
the
Towne
,
which
was
allotted
for
the
English
▪
freely
left
them
their
houses
,
and
some
corne
that
they
had
begun
to
plant
:
It
was
also
agreed
between
them
,
that
at
the
end
of
haruest
they
should
leave
the
whole
towne
;
which
they
did
accordingly
:
And
they
made
mutuall
promises
to
each
other
,
to
live
friendly
and
peaceably
together
,
and
if
any
injury
should
happen
to
be
done
on
any
part
,
that
satisfaction
should
be
made
for
the
same
,
and
thus
upon
the
27.
day
of
March
,
Anno
Domini
,
1634.
the
Governour
tooke
possession
of
the
place
,
and
named
the
Towne
Saint
Maries
.
There
was
an
occasion
that
much
facilitated
their
treaty
with
these
Indians
,
which
was
this
:
The
Sasquehanocks
(
a
warlike
people
that
inhabite
betweene
Chesopeack
bay
,
and
Delaware
bay
)
did
vsually
make
warres
,
and
incursions
upon
the
neighbouring
Indians
,
partly
for
superiority
,
partly
for
to
get
their
Women
,
and
what
other
purchase
they
could
meet
with
,
which
these
Indians
of
Yocomaco
fearing
,
had
the
yeere
before
our
arivall
there
,
made
a
resolution
,
for
their
safety
,
to
remove
themselues
higher
into
the
Countrey
where
it
was
more
populous
,
and
many
of
them
were
gone
thither
before
the
English
arrived
.
Three
dayes
after
their
comming
to
Yoacomaco
the
Arke
with
the
two
Pinaces
arived
there
.
The
Indians
much
wondred
to
see
such
ships
,
and
at
the
thundering
of
the
Ordnance
when
they
came
to
an
Anchor
.
The
next
day
they
began
to
prepare
for
their
houses
,
and
first
o●
all
a
Court
of
Guard
,
and
a
Store-house
;
in
the
meane
time
they
lay
abord
the
ship
:
They
had
not
beene
there
many
dayes
before
Sir
Iohn
Haruie
the
governor
of
V●rginea
came
thither
to
visit
them
;
Also
some
Indian
Werowances
,
and
many
other
Indians
f●om
severall
parts
came
to
see
them
,
amongst
others
the
Werowance
of
Patuxent
came
to
visit
the
Governour
,
and
being
brought
into
the
great
Cabin
of
the
ship
,
was
placed
betweene
the
Governour
of
Virginea
,
and
the
Governour
of
Mary-land
;
and
a
Patuxent
Indian
that
came
with
him
,
comming
into
the
Cabin
,
and
finding
the
Werowance
thus
sitting
betweene
the
two
Governours
,
started
backe
,
fearing
the
Werowance
was
surprised
,
and
was
ready
to
have
leapt
overboard
,
and
could
not
be
perswaded
to
come
into
the
Cabin
,
untill
the
Werowance
came
himselfe
unto
him
;
for
he
remembred
how
the
said
Werowance
had
formerly
beene
taken
prisoner
by
the
English
of
Virginia
.
After
they
had
finished
the
store-house
,
and
unladed
the
ship
,
the
Governour
thought
fit
to
bring
the
Colours
on
shore
,
which
were
attended
by
all
the
Gentlemen
,
and
the
rest
of
the
servants
in
armes
;
who
received
the
Colours
with
a
volley
of
shot
,
which
was
answered
by
the
Ordnance
from
the
ships
;
At
this
Ceremony
were
present
,
the
Werowances
of
Patuxent
,
and
Yoacomaco
,
with
many
other
Indians
;
and
the
Werowance
of
Patuxent
hereupon
tooke
occasion
to
advise
the
Indians
of
Yoacomaco
to
be
carefull
to
keepe
the
league
that
they
had
made
with
the
English
.
He
stayed
with
them
divers
dayes
,
and
used
many
Indian
Complements
,
and
at
his
departure
hee
said
to
the
Governour
.
I
loue
the
English
so
well
,
that
if
they
should
goe
about
to
kill
me
,
if
I
had
but
so
much
breath
as
to
speake
;
I
would
command
the
people
,
not
to
revenge
my
death
▪
for
I
know
they
would
not
doe
such
a
thing
,
except
it
were
through
mine
owne
default
.
They
brought
thither
with
them
some
store
of
Indian
Corne
,
from
the
Barbado's
,
which
at
their
first
arivall
they
began
to
vse
(
thinking
fit
to
reserve
their
English
provision
of
Meale
and
Oatemeale
)
and
the
Indian
women
seeing
their
servants
to
bee
unacquainted
with
the
manner
of
dressing
it
,
would
make
bread
thereof
for
them
,
and
teach
them
how
to
doe
the
like
:
They
found
also
the
countrey
well
stored
with
Corne
(
which
they
bought
with
truck
,
such
as
there
is
desired
,
the
Natiues
having
no
knowledge
of
the
use
of
money
)
whereof
they
sold
them
such
plenty
,
as
that
they
sent
1000.
bushells
of
it
to
New-England
,
to
provide
them
some
salt-fish
,
and
other
commodities
which
they
wanted
.
During
the
time
that
the
Indians
stai'd
by
the
English
at
Yoacomaco
,
they
went
dayly
to
hunt
with
them
for
Deere
and
Turkies
,
wherof
some
they
gaue
them
for
Presents
,
and
the
meaner
sort
would
sell
them
to
them
,
for
knives
,
beades
and
the
like
:
Also
of
Fish
,
the
natives
brought
them
great
store
,
and
in
all
things
dealt
very
friendly
with
them
;
their
women
and
children
came
very
frequently
amongst
them
,
which
was
a
certaine
signe
of
their
confidence
of
them
,
it
being
found
by
experience
,
that
they
never
attempt
any
ill
,
where
the
women
are
,
or
may
be
in
danger
.
Their
comming
thus
to
seate
upon
an
Indian
Towne
,
where
they
found
ground
cleered
to
their
hands
,
gave
them
opportunity
(
although
they
came
late
in
the
yeere
)
to
plant
some
Corne
,
and
to
make
them
gardens
,
which
they
sowed
with
English
seeds
of
all
sorts
,
and
they
prospered
exceeding
well
.
They
also
made
what
haste
they
could
to
finish
their
houses
;
but
before
they
could
accomplish
all
these
things
,
one
Captaine
Cleyborne
(
who
had
a
desire
to
appropriate
the
trade
of
those
parts
unto
himselfe
)
began
to
cast
out
words
amongst
the
Indians
,
saying
,
That
those
of
Yoacomaco
were
Spaniards
and
his
enemies
;
and
by
this
meanes
endeavoured
to
alienate
the
mindes
of
the
Natives
from
them
,
so
that
they
did
not
receive
them
so
friendly
as
formerly
they
had
done
.
This
caused
them
to
lay
aside
all
other
workes
,
and
to
finish
their
Fort
,
which
they
did
within
the
space
of
one
moneth
;
where
they
mounted
some
Ordnance
,
and
furnished
it
with
some
murtherers
,
and
such
other
meanes
of
defence
as
they
thought
fit
for
their
safeties
:
which
being
done
,
they
proceeded
with
their
Houses
and
finished
them
,
with
convenient
accommodations
belonging
thereto
:
And
although
they
had
thus
put
themselves
in
safety
,
yet
they
ceased
not
to
procure
to
put
these
jealousies
out
of
the
Natives
minds
,
by
treating
and
vsing
them
in
the
most
courteous
manner
they
could
,
and
at
last
prevailed
therein
,
and
setled
a
very
firme
peace
and
friendship
with
them
.
They
procured
from
Virginia
,
Hogges
,
Poultrey
,
and
some
Cowes
,
and
some
male
cattell
,
which
hath
given
them
a
foundation
for
breed
and
increase
;
and
whoso
desires
it
,
may
furnish
himselfe
with
store
of
Cattell
from
thence
,
but
the
hogges
and
Poultrey
are
already
increased
in
Maryland
,
to
a
great
stocke
,
sufficient
to
serve
the
Colonie
very
plentifully
.
They
have
also
set
up
a
Water-mill
for
the
grinding
of
Corne
,
adjoyning
to
the
Towne
.
Thus
within
the
space
of
sixe
moneths
,
was
laid
the
foundation
of
the
Colonie
in
Maryland
;
and
whosoever
intends
now
to
goe
thither
,
shall
finde
the
way
so
troden
,
that
hee
may
proceed
with
much
more
ease
and
confidence
then
these
first
adventurers
could
,
who
were
ignorant
both
of
Place
,
People
,
and
all
things
else
,
and
could
expect
to
find
nothing
but
what
nature
produced
:
besides
,
they
could
not
in
reason
but
thinke
,
the
Natives
would
oppose
them
;
whereas
now
the
Countrey
is
discovered
,
and
friendship
with
the
Natives
is
assured
,
houses
built
,
and
many
other
accommodations
,
as
Cattell
,
Hogges
,
Poultry
,
Fruits
and
the
like
brought
thither
from
England
,
Virginea
,
and
other
places
,
which
are
vsefull
,
both
for
profit
and
Pleasure
:
and
without
boasting
it
may
be
said
,
that
this
Colony
hath
arived
to
more
in
sixe
moneths
,
then
Virginia
did
in
as
many
yeeres
.
If
any
man
say
,
they
are
beholding
to
Virginea
for
so
speedy
a
supply
of
many
of
those
things
which
they
of
Virginia
were
forced
to
fetch
from
England
and
other
remote
places
,
they
will
confesse
it
,
and
acknowledge
themselves
glad
that
Virginea
is
so
neere
a
neighbour
,
and
that
it
is
so
well
stored
of
all
necessaries
for
to
make
those
parts
happy
,
and
the
people
to
live
as
plentifully
as
in
any
other
part
of
the
world
,
only
they
wish
that
they
would
be
content
their
neighbours
might
live
in
peace
by
them
,
and
then
no
doubt
they
should
find
a
great
comfort
each
in
other
.

This
Northerne
part
of

(
the
limitts
whereof
extend
many

)
is

for

.
CHAP.
II.
A
description
of
the
Countrey
.
THe
precedent
discourse
gives
you
to
understand
,
how
the
first
Colony
sate
downe
in
Maryland
,
what
progresse
they
made
,
and
in
what
estate
it
is
at
this
present
:
Now
my
purpose
is
to
speake
of
the
Countrey
in
generall
,
that
who
so
lookes
that
way
,
may
beforehand
know
something
thereof
.
It
is
seated
betweene
the
degrees
of
38
and
40
of
North-Latitude
,
Virginia
bounds
it
on
the
South
,
New-England
on
the
North
,
and
the
Ocean
on
the
East
,
but
the
Westerne
parts
are
not
yet
discovered
.
The
temper
of
the
Ayre
is
very
good
,
and
agrees
well
with
the
English
,
as
appeared
at
their
first
comming
thither
,
when
they
had
no
houses
to
shelter
them
,
and
their
people
were
enforced
,
not
onely
to
labour
in
the
day
,
but
to
watch
in
their
turnes
at
night
,
yet
had
their
healths
exceeding
well
:
In
Summer
its
hot
as
in
Spaine
,
and
in
Winter
there
is
frost
and
snow
,
but
it
seldome
lasts
long
▪
this
last
Winter
was
the
coldest
that
had
beene
knowne
in
many
yeeres
:
but
the
yeere
before
,
there
was
scarce
any
signe
of
Winter
,
onely
that
the
leaves
fell
from
the
trees
,
in
all
other
things
it
appeared
to
be
Summer
;
and
yet
the
last
Winter
,
both
their
Cattell
and
Hoggs
kept
themselves
in
the
woods
,
without
any
fodder
,
or
other
helpe
,
and
the
Hoggs
thrived
so
well
,
that
some
of
them
were
killed
out
of
the
woods
for
Porke
and
Bacon
,
which
was
excellent
good
and
fat
.
The
Windes
there
are
variable
;
from
the
South
comes
Heat
,
Gusts
,
and
Thunder
;
from
the
North
,
or
North-west
,
cold-weather
,
and
in
winter
,
Frost
and
Snow
;
from
the
East
and
South-east
,
Raine
.
The
ordinary
entrance
by
Sea
into
this
Countrey
,
is
betweene
two
Capes
,
which
are
distant
each
from
other
,
about
7
or
8
leagves
,
the
South-Cape
is
called
Cape-Henry
;
the
North
,
Cape-Charles
,
When
you
are
come
within
the
Capes
,
you
enter
into
a
faire
Bay
,
which
is
navigable
for
at
least
200
miles
,
and
is
called
Chesopeack
Bay
,
and
runneth
Northerly
:
Into
this
Bay
fall
many
goodly
navigable
Rivers
,
the
chiefe
whereof
is
Patomack
,
where
the
Colony
is
now
seated
.
It
's
navigable
for
140
miles
,
it
begins
to
be
fresh
about
2
leagves
above
Patomack
Towne
.
The
next
River
Northward
is
Patuxent
,
which
at
the
entrance
is
distant
from
the
other
,
about
20
miles
,
and
is
a
very
pleasant
and
commodious
River
;
It
's
fit
for
habitation
,
and
easie
to
be
defended
,
by
reason
of
the
Ilands
,
and
other
places
of
advantage
,
that
may
command
it
;
from
thence
,
untill
you
come
to
the
head
of
the
Bay
,
there
are
no
more
Rivers
that
are
inhabited
:
There
dwell
the
Sasquehanocks
▪
upon
a
River
that
is
not
navigable
for
our
Boates
,
by
reason
of
Sholes
and
Rockes
;
but
they
passe
it
in
[
](A07165-e2000-b)*
*
A
tearme
they
use
for
their
Boates.
Canoos
;
At
the
entrance
thereof
,
there
is
an
Iland
which
will
command
that
River
.
Vpon
the
East
side
of
this
Bay
lie
very
many
Ilands
which
are
not
inhabited
,
where
are
store
of
Deere
.
On
the
Easterne
shore
of
the
Country
,
which
lieth
upon
the
maine
Ocean
,
are
sundry
small
Creekes
,
and
one
likely
to
proove
a
very
commodious
harbour
,
called
Matsopongue
;
neere
the
mouth
whereof
,
lieth
an
Iland
of
about
20
miles
in
length
,
and
thence
about
6
leagues
more
Northerly
,
another
Iland
called
Chingoto
;
and
about
seaven
leagues
beyond
that
,
to
the
North
,
opens
another
very
large
faire
Bay
,
called
Delaware
Bay
.
This
Bay
is
about
8
leagues
wide
at
the
entrance
,
and
into
it
,
there
falls
a
very
faire
navigable
River
.
The
Countrey
is
generally
plaine
and
even
,
and
yet
hath
some
pritty
small
hills
and
risings
;
It
's
full
of
Rivers
and
Creekes
,
and
hath
store
of
Springs
and
small
Brookes
:
The
Woods
for
the
most
part
are
free
from
underwood
,
so
that
a
man
may
travell
on
horsebacke
,
almost
any-where
,
or
hunt
for
his
recreation
.
CHAP.
III.
The
Commodities
which
this
Countrey
affords
naturally
.
THis
Countrey
affords
naturally
,
many
excellent
things
for
Physicke
and
Surgery
,
the
perfect
use
of
which
,
the
English
cannot
yet
learne
from
the
Natives
:
They
have
a
roote
which
is
an
excellent
preseruative
against
Poyson
,
called
by
the
English
,
the
Snake
roote
.
Other
herbes
and
rootes
they
have
,
wherewith
they
cure
all
manner
of
woundes
;
also
Saxafras
,
Gummes
,
and
Balsum
.
An
Indian
seeing
one
of
the
English
,
much
troubled
with
the
tooth-ake
,
fetched
of
the
roote
of
a
tree
,
and
gave
the
party
some
of
it
to
hold
in
his
mouth
,
and
it
eased
the
paine
presently
.
They
have
other
rootes
fit
for
dyes
,
wherewith
they
make
colours
to
paint
themselues
.
The
Timber
of
these
parts
is
very
good
,
and
in
aboundance
,
it
is
usefull
for
building
of
houses
,
and
shippes
;
the
white
Oake
is
good
for
Pipe-staves
,
the
red
Oake
for
wainescot
.
There
is
also
Walnut
,
Cedar
,
Pine
,
&
Cipresse
,
Chesnut
,
Elme
,
Ashe
,
and
Popler
,
all
which
are
for
Building
,
and
Husbandry
.
Also
there
are
divers
sorts
of
Fruit-trees
,
as
Mulberries
,
Persimons
,
with
severall
other
kind
of
Plummes
,
and
Vines
,
in
great
aboundance
.
The
Mast
and
the
Chesnuts
,
and
what
rootes
they
find
in
the
woods
,
doe
feede
the
Swine
very
fat
,
and
will
breede
great
store
,
both
for
their
owne
provision
,
or
for
merchandise
,
and
such
as
is
not
inferior
to
the
Bacon
of
Westphalia
.
Of
Strawberries
,
there
is
plenty
,
which
are
ripe
in
Aprill
:
Mulberries
in
May
;
and
Raspices
in
Iune
;
Maracocks
which
is
somewhat
like
a
Limon
,
are
ripe
in
August
.
In
the
Spring
,
there
are
severall
sorts
of
herbes
,
as
Corn-sallet
,
Violets
,
Sorrell
,
Purslaine
,
all
which
are
very
good
and
wholsome
,
and
by
the
English
,
used
for
sallets
,
and
in
broth
.
In
the
upper
parts
of
the
Countrey
,
there
are
Bufeloes
,
Elkes
,
Lions
,
Beares
,
Wolues
,
and
Deare
there
are
great
store
,
in
all
places
that
are
not
too
much
frequented
,
as
also
Beavers
,
Foxes
,
Otters
,
and
many
other
sorts
of
Beasts
.
Of
Birds
,
there
is
the
Eagle
,
Goshawke
,
Falcon
,
Lanner
,
Sparrow-hawke
,
and
Merlin
,
also
wild
Turkeys
in
great
aboundance
,
whereof
many
weigh
50.
pounds
,
and
upwards
;
and
of
Partridge
plenty
:
There
are
likewise
sundry
sorts
of
Birds
which
sing
,
whereof
some
are
red
,
some
blew
,
others
blacke
and
yellow
,
some
like
our
Black-birds
,
others
like
Thrushes
,
but
not
of
the
same
kind
,
with
many
more
,
for
which
wee
know
no
names
.
In
Winter
there
is
great
plenty
of
Swannes
,
Cranes
,
Geese
,
Herons
,
Ducke
,
Teale
,
Widgeon
,
Brants
,
and
Pidgeons
,
with
other
sorts
,
whereof
there
are
none
in
England
.
The
Sea
,
the
Bayes
of
Chesopeack
,
and
Delaware
,
and
generally
all
the
Rivers
,
doe
abound
with
Fish
of
severall
sorts
;
for
many
of
them
we
have
no
English
names
:
There
are
Whales
,
Sturgeons
uery
large
and
good
,
and
in
great
aboundance
;
Grampuses
,
Porpuses
,
Mullets
,
Ttouts
,
Soules
,
Place
,
Mackerell
,
Perch
,
Crabs
,
Oysters
,
Cockles
,
and
Mussles
;
But
above
all
these
,
the
fish
that
have
no
English
names
,
are
the
best
except
the
Sturgeons
:
There
is
also
a
fish
like
the
Thornebacke
in
England
,
which
hath
a
taile
a
yard
long
,
wherein
are
sharpe
prickles
,
with
which
if
it
strike
a
man
,
it
will
put
him
to
much
paine
and
torment
,
but
it
is
very
good
meate
:
also
the
Tode-fish
,
which
will
swell
till
it
be
ready
to
burst
,
if
it
be
taken
out
of
the
water
.
The
Mineralls
have
not
yet
beene
much
searched
after
,
yet
there
is
discovered
Iron
Oare
;
and
Earth
fitt
to
make
Allum
,
Terra
lemnia
,
and
a
red
soile
like
Bolearmonicke
,
with
sundry
other
sorts
of
Mineralls
,
which
wee
have
not
yet
beene
able
to
make
any
tryall
of
.
The
soile
generally
is
very
rich
,
like
that
which
is
about
Cheesweeke
neere
London
,
where
it
is
worth
20.
shillings
an
Acre
yeerely
to
Tillage
in
the
Common-fields
,
and
in
very
many
places
,
you
shall
have
two
foote
of
blacke
rich
mould
,
wherein
you
shall
scarce
find
a
stone
,
it
is
like
a
sifted
Garden-mould
,
and
is
so
rich
,
that
if
it
be
not
first
planted
with
Indian
corne
,
Tobacco
,
Hempe
,
or
some
such
thing
that
may
take
off
the
ranknesse
thereof
,
it
will
not
be
fit
for
any
English
graine
;
and
under
that
,
there
is
found
good
loame
,
whereof
wee
have
made
as
good
bricke
as
any
in
England
;
there
is
great
store
of
Marish
ground
also
,
that
with
good
husbandry
,
will
make
as
rich
Medow
,
as
any
in
the
world
:
There
is
store
of
Marle
,
both
blue
,
and
white
,
and
in
many
places
,
excellent
clay
for
pots
,
and
tyles
;
and
to
conclude
,
there
is
nothing
that
can
be
reasonably
expected
in
a
place
lying
in
the
latitude
which
this
doth
,
but
you
shall
either
find
it
here
to
grow
naturally
:
or
Industry
,
and
good
husbandry
will
produce
it
.
CHAP.
IIII.
The
commodities
that
may
be
procured
in
Maryland
by
industry
.
HEe
that
well
considers
the
situation
of
this
Countrey
,
and
findes
it
placed
betweene
Virginia
and
New-England
,
cannot
but
,
by
his
owne
reason
,
conclude
that
it
must
needs
participate
of
the
naturall
commodities
of
both
places
,
and
be
capable
of
those
which
industry
brings
into
either
,
the
distances
being
so
small
betweene
them
:
you
shall
find
in
the
Southerne
parts
of
Maryland
,
all
that
Virginia
hath
naturally
;
and
in
the
Northerne
parts
,
what
New-England
produceth
;
and
he
that
reades
Captaine
Iohn
Smith
shall
see
at
large
discoursed
what
is
in
Virginia
,
and
in
Master
William
Wood
,
who
this
yeere
hath
written
a
treatise
of
New-England
,
he
may
know
what
is
there
to
be
expected
.
Yet
to
say
something
of
it
in
particular
.
IN
the
first
place
I
name
Corne
,
as
the
thing
most
necessary
to
sustaine
man
;
That
which
the
Natives
use
in
the
Countrey
,
makes
very
good
bread
,
and
also
a
meate
which
they
call
Omene
,
it
's
like
our
Furmety
,
and
is
very
savory
and
wholesome
;
it
will
Mault
and
make
good
Beere
.
Also
the
Natives
have
a
sort
of
Pulse
,
which
we
call
Pease
and
Beanes
,
that
are
very
good
.
This
Corne
yeelds
a
great
increase
,
so
doth
the
Pease
and
Beanes
:
One
man
may
in
a
season
,
well
plant
so
much
as
will
yeeld
a
hundred
bushells
of
this
Corne
,
20
bushells
of
Beanes
and
Pease
,
and
yet
attend
a
crop
of
Tobacco
:
which
according
to
the
goodnesse
of
the
ground
may
be
more
or
lesse
,
but
is
ordinarily
accompted
betweene
800
and
1000
pound
weight
.
They
have
made
tryall
of
English
Pease
,
and
they
grow
very
well
,
also
Musk-mellons
,
Water-mellons
,
Com-cumbers
,
with
all
sorts
of
garden
Roots
and
Herbes
,
as
Carrots
,
Parsenips
,
Turnips
,
Cabbages
Radish
▪
with
many
more
;
and
in
Virginia
they
have
sowed
English
Wheate
and
Barley
,
and
it
yeelds
twise
as
much
increase
as
in
England
;
and
although
there
be
not
many
that
doe
apply
themselves
to
plant
Gardens
and
Orchards
,
yet
those
that
doe
it
,
find
much
profit
and
pleasure
thereby
:
They
have
Peares
,
Apples
,
and
severall
sorts
of
Plummes
,
Peaches
in
abundance
,
and
as
good
as
those
of
Italy
;
so
are
the
Mellons
and
Pumpions
:
Apricocks
,
Figgs
and
Pomegranates
prosper
exceedingly
;
they
haue
lately
planted
Orange
and
Limon
trees
which
thrive
very
wel
:
and
in
fine
,
there
is
scarce
any
fruit
that
growes
in
England
,
France
,
Spaine
,
or
Italy
,
but
hath
been
tryed
there
,
and
prospers
well
.
You
may
there
also
have
Hemp
and
Flax
,
Pitch
and
Tarre
,
with
little
labour
;
it
's
apt
for
Rapeseed
,
and
Annis-seed
,
Woad
,
Madder
,
Saffron
,
&c.
There
may
be
had
,
Silke-wormes
,
the
Countrey
being
stored
with
Mulberries
:
and
the
superfluity
of
wood
will
produce
Potashes
.
And
for
Wine
,
there
is
no
doubt
but
it
will
be
made
there
in
plenty
,
for
the
ground
doth
naturally
bring
foorth
Vines
,
in
such
aboundance
,
that
they
are
as
frequent
there
,
as
Brambles
are
here
.
Iron
may
be
made
there
with
little
charge
;
Brave
ships
may
be
built
,
without
requiring
any
materialls
from
other
parts
:
Clabboard
,
Wainscott
,
Pipestaves
and
Masts
for
ships
the
woods
will
afford
plentifully
.
In
fine
,
Butter
and
Cheese
,
Porke
and
Bacon
,
to
transport
to
other
countrys
will
be
no
small
commodity
,
which
by
industry
may
be
quickly
had
there
in
great
plenty
,
&c.
And
if
there
were
no
other
staple
commodities
to
be
hoped
for
,
but
Silke
and
Linnen
(
the
materialls
of
which
,
apparantly
will
grow
there
)
it
were
sufficient
to
enrich
the
inhabitants
.
CHAP.
V.
Of
the
Naturall
disposition
of
the
Indians
which
Inhabite
the
parts
of
Maryland
where
the
English
are
seated
:
And
their
manner
of
living
.
HEE
that
hath
a
Curiosity
to
know
all
that
hath
beene
obserued
of
the
Customes
and
manners
of
the
Indians
,
may
find
large
discourses
thereof
in
Captaine
Smiths
Booke
of
Virginia
,
and
Mr.
Woods
of
New-England
:
but
he
that
is
desirous
to
goe
to
Maryland
,
shall
heere
find
enough
to
informe
him
of
what
is
necessary
for
him
to
know
touching
them
.
By
Captaine
Smith's
,
and
many
other
Relations
you
may
be
informed
,
that
the
People
are
War-licke
,
and
have
done
much
harme
to
the
English
;
and
thereby
are
made
very
terrible
.
Others
say
that
they
are
a
base
and
cowardly
People
,
and
to
be
contemned
:
and
it
is
thought
by
some
who
would
be
esteemed
States-men
,
that
the
only
point
of
pollicie
that
the
English
can
use
,
is
,
to
destroy
the
Indians
,
or
to
drive
them
out
of
the
Countrey
,
without
which
,
it
is
not
to
be
hoped
that
they
can
be
secure
.
The
truth
is
,
if
they
be
injured
,
they
may
well
be
feared
,
they
being
People
that
have
able
bodies
,
and
generally
,
taller
,
and
bigger
limbed
then
the
English
,
and
want
not
courage
;
but
the
oddes
wee
have
of
them
in
our
weapons
,
keepes
them
in
awe
,
otherwise
they
would
not
flie
from
the
English
,
as
they
have
done
in
the
time
of
Warres
with
those
of
Virginia
,
and
out
of
that
respect
▪
a
small
number
of
our
men
being
armed
,
will
aduenture
upon
a
great
troope
of
theirs
,
and
for
no
other
reason
,
for
they
are
resolute
and
subtile
enough
:
But
from
hence
to
conclude
,
that
there
can
be
no
safety
to
live
with
them
,
is
a
very
great
errour
.
Experience
hath
taught
us
,
that
by
kind
and
faire
usage
,
the
Natives
are
not
onely
become
peaceable
,
but
also
friendly
,
and
have
upon
all
occasions
performed
as
many
friendly
Offices
to
the
English
in
Maryland
,
and
New-England
,
as
any
neighbour
or
friend
uses
to
doe
in
the
most
Civill
parts
of
Christendome
:
Therefore
any
wise
man
will
hold
it
a
far
more
just
and
reasonable
way
to
treat
the
People
of
the
Countrey
well
,
thereby
to
induce
them
to
civility
,
and
to
teach
them
the
use
of
husbandry
,
and
Mechanick
trades
,
whereof
they
are
capable
,
which
may
in
time
be
very
usefull
to
the
English
;
and
the
Planters
to
keepe
themselues
strong
,
and
united
in
Townes
,
at
least
for
a
competent
number
,
and
then
noe
man
can
reasonably
doubt
,
either
surprise
,
or
any
other
ill
dealing
from
them
.
But
to
proceede
,
hee
that
sees
them
,
may
know
how
men
lived
whilest
the
world
was
under
the
Law
of
Nature
;
and
as
by
nature
,
so
amongst
them
,
all
men
are
free
,
but
yet
subject
to
command
for
the
publike
defence
.
Their
Government
is
Monarchicall
,
he
that
governes
in
chiefe
,
is
called
the
Werowance
,
and
is
assisted
by
some
that
consult
with
him
of
the
common
affaires
,
who
are
called
Wisoes
:
They
have
no
Lawes
,
but
the
Law
of
Nature
and
discretion
,
by
which
all
things
are
ruled
,
onely
Custome
hath
introduced
a
law
for
the
Succession
of
the
Government
,
which
is
this
;
when
a
Werowance
dieth
▪
his
eldest
sonne
succeeds
,
and
after
him
the
second
,
and
so
the
rest
,
each
for
their
▪
liues
,
and
when
all
the
sonnes
are
dead
,
then
the
sons
of
the
Werowances
eldest
daughter
shall
succeede
,
and
so
if
he
have
more
daughters
;
for
they
hold
,
that
the
issue
of
the
daughters
hath
more
of
his
blood
in
them
than
the
issue
of
his
sonnes
.
The
Wisoes
are
chosen
at
the
pleasure
of
the
Werowance
,
yet
commonly
they
are
chosen
of
the
same
family
,
if
they
be
of
yeeres
capable
:
The
yong
men
generally
beare
a
very
great
respect
to
the
elder
.
They
have
also
C●ck●r●●ses
that
are
their
Captains
in
time
of
war
,
to
whom
they
are
very
obedient
;
But
the
Werowance
himselfe
plants
Corne
,
makes
his
owne
Bow
and
Arrowes
,
his
Canoo
,
his
Mantle
,
Shooes
,
and
what
ever
else
belongs
unto
him
,
as
any
other
common
Indian
;
and
commonly
the
Commanders
are
the
best
and
most
ingenious
and
active
in
all
those
things
which
are
in
esteeme
amongst
them
.
The
women
serve
their
husbands
,
make
their
bread
,
dresse
their
meate
,
such
as
they
kill
in
hunting
,
or
get
by
fishing
;
and
if
they
have
more
wives
then
one
,
as
some
of
them
have
(
but
that
is
not
generall
)
then
the
best
beloved
wife
performes
all
the
offices
of
the
house
,
and
they
take
great
coment
therein
.
The
women
also
(
beside
the
houshold
businesse
)
use
to
make
Matts
,
which
serve
to
cover
their
houses
,
and
for
beds
;
also
they
make
baskets
,
some
of
Rushes
,
others
of
Silke-grasse
,
which
are
very
handsom
.
The
Children
live
with
their
Parents
;
the
Boyes
untill
they
come
to
the
full
growth
of
men
;
(
for
they
reckon
not
by
yeeres
,
as
we
doe
)
then
they
are
put
into
the
number
of
Bow-men
,
and
are
called
Blacke-boyes
(
and
so
continue
untill
they
take
them
wives
)
When
they
are
to
be
made
Black-boyes
,
the
ancient
men
that
governe
the
yonger
,
tell
them
,
That
if
they
will
be
valiant
and
obedient
to
the
Werowance
,
Wisos
and
C●kc●r●●ses
,
then
their
god
will
love
them
,
all
men
will
esteeme
of
them
,
and
they
shall
kill
Deere
,
and
Turkies
,
catch
Fish
,
and
all
things
shall
goe
well
with
them
;
but
if
otherwise
,
then
shall
all
goe
contrary
:
which
perswasion
mooves
in
them
an
incredible
obedience
to
their
commands
;
If
they
bid
them
take
fire
in
their
hands
or
mouthes
,
they
will
doe
it
,
or
any
other
desperate
thing
,
although
with
the
apparant
danger
of
their
lives
.
The
women
remaine
with
their
Parents
untill
they
have
husbands
,
and
if
the
Parents
bee
dead
,
then
with
some
other
of
their
friends
.
If
the
husband
die
,
he
leaves
all
that
he
hath
to
his
wife
,
except
his
bow
and
arrowes
,
and
some
Beades
(
which
they
usually
bury
with
them
)
and
she
is
to
keepe
the
children
untill
the
sons
come
to
be
men
,
and
then
they
live
where
they
please
,
for
all
mens
houses
are
free
unto
them
;
and
the
daughters
untill
they
have
husbands
.
The
manner
of
their
marriages
is
thus
;
he
that
would
have
a
wife
,
treates
with
the
father
,
or
if
he
be
dead
,
with
the
friend
that
takes
care
of
her
whom
he
desires
to
have
to
wife
,
and
agrees
with
him
for
a
quantity
of
Beades
,
or
some
such
other
thing
which
is
accepted
amongst
them
;
which
he
is
to
give
for
her
,
and
must
be
payed
at
the
day
of
their
marriage
;
and
then
the
day
being
appointed
,
all
the
friends
of
both
parts
meet
at
the
mans
house
that
is
to
have
the
wife
,
and
each
one
brings
a
present
of
meate
and
the
woman
that
is
to
be
married
also
brings
her
present
:
when
the
company
is
all
come
,
the
man
he
sits
at
the
upper
end
of
the
house
,
and
the
womans
friends
leade
her
up
,
and
place
her
by
him
,
then
all
the
company
sit
down
upon
mats
,
on
the
ground
(
as
their
manner
is
)
and
the
woman
riseth
and
serves
dinner
,
First
to
her
husband
,
then
to
all
the
company
;
the
rest
of
the
day
they
spend
in
singing
and
dancing
(
which
is
not
unpleasant
)
at
night
the
company
leaves
them
,
and
commonly
they
live
very
peaceably
and
lovingly
together
;
Yet
it
falls
out
sometimes
,
that
a
man
puts
away
one
wife
and
takes
another
;
then
she
and
her
children
returne
to
her
friends
again
.
They
are
generally
very
obedient
to
their
husbands
,
and
you
shal
seldome
heare
a
woman
speake
in
the
presence
of
her
husband
,
except
he
aske
her
some
question
.
This
people
live
to
a
great
age
,
which
appeares
,
in
that
although
they
marry
not
so
yong
as
we
doe
in
England
,
yet
you
may
see
many
of
them
great-grandfathers
to
children
of
good
bignesse
;
and
continue
at
that
age
,
very
able
and
strong
men
:
The
Men
and
Women
have
all
blacke
haire
,
which
is
much
bigger
and
harsher
then
ours
,
it
is
rare
to
see
any
of
them
to
waxe
gray
,
although
they
be
very
old
,
but
never
bauld
:
It
is
seldome
seene
that
any
of
the
men
have
beards
,
but
they
weare
long
locks
,
which
reach
to
their
shoulders
,
and
some
of
them
to
their
wasts
:
they
are
of
a
comely
stature
,
well
favoured
,
and
excellently
well
limbed
,
and
seldome
any
deformed
.
In
their
warres
,
and
hunting
,
they
use
Bowes
and
Arrowes
(
but
the
Arrowes
are
not
poysoned
,
as
in
other
places
.
)
The
Arrow-heads
are
made
of
a
Flint-stone
,
the
top
of
a
Deares
horne
,
or
some
Fish-bone
,
which
they
fasten
with
a
sort
of
glew
,
which
they
make
.
They
also
use
in
warres
,
a
short
club
of
a
cubite
long
,
which
they
call
a
Tomahawk
.
They
live
for
the
most
part
in
Townes
,
like
Countrey
Villages
in
England
;
Their
houses
are
made
like
our
Arboures
,
covered
some
with
matts
,
others
with
barke
of
trees
,
which
defend
them
from
the
injury
of
the
weather
:
The
fiers
are
in
the
midst
of
the
house
,
and
a
hole
in
the
top
for
the
smoake
to
goe
out
at
.
In
length
,
some
of
them
are
30.
others
40.
some
a
100.
foote
;
and
in
breadth
about
12.
foote
.
They
have
some
things
amongst
them
which
may
well
become
Christians
to
imitate
,
as
their
temperance
in
eating
and
drinking
,
their
Iustice
each
to
other
,
for
it
is
never
heard
of
,
that
those
of
a
Nation
will
rob
or
steale
one
from
another
;
and
the
English
doe
often
trust
them
with
truck
,
to
deale
for
them
as
factors
,
and
they
have
performed
it
very
justly
:
Also
they
have
sent
letters
by
them
to
Virginia
,
and
into
other
parts
of
the
Countrey
,
unto
their
seruants
that
have
beene
trading
abroad
,
and
they
have
delivered
them
,
and
brought
backe
answere
thereof
unto
those
that
sent
them
;
Also
their
conuersation
each
with
other
,
is
peaceable
,
and
free
from
all
scurrulous
words
,
which
may
give
offence
;
They
are
very
hospitable
to
their
owne
people
,
and
to
strangers
;
they
are
also
of
a
grave
comportment
:
Some
of
the
Aduenturers
at
a
time
,
was
at
one
of
their
feasts
,
when
Two
hundred
of
them
did
meet
together
;
they
eate
of
but
one
dish
at
a
meale
,
and
every
man
,
although
there
be
never
so
many
,
is
serued
in
a
dish
by
himselfe
;
their
dishes
are
made
of
wood
,
but
handsomely
wrought
:
The
dinner
lasted
two
houres
;
and
after
dinner
,
they
sung
and
danced
about
two
houres
more
,
in
all
which
time
,
not
one
word
or
action
past
amongst
them
that
could
give
the
least
disturbance
to
the
company
;
In
the
most
grave
assembly
,
no
man
can
expect
to
find
so
much
time
past
with
more
silence
and
gravitie
:
Some
Indians
comming
on
a
time
to
Iames
Towne
in
Virginia
,
it
happened
,
that
there
then
sate
the
Councell
to
heare
causes
,
and
the
Indians
seeing
such
an
assembly
,
asked
what
it
meant
?
Answere
was
made
,
there
was
held
a
Match-c●mac●
(
which
the
Indians
call
their
place
of
Councell
)
the
Indian
replyed
,
that
they
all
talke
at
once
,
but
wee
doe
not
so
in
our
Match-comac●
.
Their
attire
is
decent
and
modest
;
about
their
wasts
,
they
weare
a
covering
of
Deares
skinnes
,
which
reacheth
to
their
knees
,
and
upon
their
shoulders
a
large
mantle
of
skinnes
,
which
comes
downe
to
the
middle
of
the
legge
,
and
some
to
the
heele
;
in
winter
they
weare
it
furred
,
in
summer
without
;
When
men
hunt
they
put
off
their
Mantles
,
so
doe
the
women
when
they
worke
,
if
the
weather
be
hot
:
The
women
affect
to
weare
chaines
and
bracelets
of
beades
,
some
of
the
better
sort
of
them
,
weare
ropes
of
Pearle
about
their
necks
,
and
some
hanging
in
their
eares
,
which
are
of
a
large
sort
,
but
spoyled
with
burning
the
Oysters
in
the
fire
,
and
the
rude
boaring
of
them
.
And
they
and
the
young
men
use
to
paint
their
faces
with
severall
colours
,
but
since
the
English
came
thither
,
those
about
them
have
quite
left
it
;
and
in
many
things
shew
a
great
inclination
to
conforme
themselues
to
the
English
manner
of
living
.
The
werowance
of
Paschatoway
desired
the
Governor
to
send
him
a
man
that
could
build
him
a
house
like
the
English
,
and
in
sundry
respects
,
commended
our
manner
of
living
,
as
much
better
then
their
owne
:
The
Werowance
of
Patuxent
,
goes
frequently
in
English
Attire
,
so
doth
hee
of
Port●back
,
and
many
others
that
have
bought
Clothes
of
the
English
:
These
Werowances
have
made
request
,
that
some
of
their
children
may
be
brought
up
amongst
the
English
,
and
every
way
,
shew
great
demonstrations
of
friendship
,
and
good
affection
unto
them
.
These
People
acknowledge
a
God
,
who
is
Their
Religion
.
the
giver
of
al
the
good
things
,
wherewith
their
life
is
maintained
;
and
to
him
they
sacrifice
of
the
first
fruits
of
their
Corne
,
and
of
that
which
they
get
by
hunting
,
and
fishing
:
The
sacrifice
is
performed
by
an
Ancient
man
,
who
makes
a
speech
unto
their
God
(
not
without
something
of
Barbarisme
)
which
being
ended
,
hee
bu●●es
part
of
the
sacrifice
,
and
then
eates
of
the
rest
,
then
the
People
that
are
present
,
eate
also
,
and
untill
the
Ceremony
be
performed
,
they
will
not
touch
one
bit
thereof
:
They
hold
the
Immortalitie
of
the
soule
,
and
that
there
is
a
place
of
Ioy
,
and
another
of
torment
after
death
,
and
that
those
which
kill
,
steale
,
or
lye
,
shall
goe
to
the
place
of
torment
,
but
those
which
doe
no
harme
,
to
the
good
place
;
where
they
shall
have
all
sorts
of
pleasure
.
It
happened
the
last
yeere
,
that
some
of
the
Sasquehanocks
and
the
Wicomesses
(
who
are
enemies
)
met
at
the
Iland
of
Monop●nson
,
where
Captaine
Cleyborne
liveth
,
they
all
came
to
trade
,
and
one
of
the
Sasquehanocks
did
an
Injury
to
a
Wicomesse
,
whereat
some
of
Cleybornes
people
that
saw
it
,
did
laugh
.
The
Wicomesses
seeing
themselues
thus
injured
and
despised
(
as
they
thought
)
went
away
,
and
lay
in
ambush
for
the
returne
of
the
Sasquehanocks
,
and
killed
five
of
them
,
onely
two
escaped
;
and
then
they
returned
againe
,
and
killed
three
of
Cleybornes
People
,
and
some
of
his
Cattle
;
about
two
moneths
after
this
was
done
,
the
Wicomesses
sent
a
messenger
unto
his
Lordships
Governor
,
to
excuse
the
fact
,
and
to
offer
satisfaction
for
the
harme
that
was
done
to
the
English
:
The
Wicomesse
that
came
with
the
message
,
brought
in
his
company
an
Indian
,
of
the
Towne
of
Patuxent
,
which
is
the
next
neighbouring
Towne
unto
the
English
at
Saint
Maries
,
with
whom
they
have
good
correspondence
,
and
hee
spake
to
the
Governour
in
this
manner
.
I
Am
a
Native
of
Patuxent
,
as
this
man
(
whom
you
know
)
can
tell
you
,
true
it
is
,
I
married
a
wife
amongst
the
Wicomesses
,
where
I
have
lived
ever
since
,
and
they
have
sent
me
to
tell
you
,
that
they
are
sorry
for
the
harme
,
which
was
lately
done
by
some
of
their
people
,
to
the
English
at
Monaponson
;
and
hope
you
will
not
make
the
rash
act
of
a
few
young
men
,
(
which
was
done
in
heate
)
a
quarrell
to
their
Nation
,
who
desire
to
live
in
peace
and
love
with
you
,
and
are
ready
to
make
satisfaction
for
the
Injury
,
desiring
to
know
what
will
give
you
content
,
and
that
they
will
returne
such
things
as
were
then
taken
from
thence
;
But
withall
,
they
desire
you
not
to
thinke
that
they
doe
this
for
feare
,
for
they
have
warres
with
the
Sasquehanocks
,
who
have
by
a
surprise
,
lately
killed
many
of
their
men
,
but
they
would
not
sue
to
them
for
peace
,
intending
to
revenge
the
injuries
,
as
they
could
find
opportunitie
,
yet
their
desire
was
to
have
peace
with
the
English
.
The
Governour
returned
answere
to
the
Wicomesse
;
since
you
acknowledge
the
Injury
,
and
are
sorry
for
it
,
and
onely
desire
to
know
what
I
expect
for
satisfaction
;
I
tell
you
I
expect
that
those
men
,
who
have
done
this
out-rage
,
should
be
delivered
unto
me
,
to
doe
with
them
as
I
shall
thinke
fit
,
and
likewise
that
you
restore
all
such
things
as
you
then
tooke
from
the
English
;
and
withall
,
charged
him
with
a
second
Injury
attempted
upon
some
of
his
owne
People
,
since
that
time
,
by
the
Wicomesses
.
The
Wicomesse
after
a
little
pause
,
replyed
;
It
is
the
manner
amongst
us
Indians
,
that
if
any
such
like
accident
happen
,
wee
doe
redeeme
the
life
of
a
man
that
is
so
slaine
,
with
a
100.
armes
length
of
Roaroke
(
which
is
a
sort
of
Beades
that
they
make
,
and
use
for
money
)
and
since
that
you
are
heere
strangers
,
and
come
into
our
Countrey
,
you
should
rather
conforme
your selues
to
the
Customes
of
our
Countrey
,
then
impose
yours
upon
us
;
But
as
for
the
second
matter
,
I
know
nothing
of
it
,
nor
can
give
any
answere
thereunto
.
The
Governour
then
told
him
;
It
seemes
you
come
not
sufficiently
instructed
in
the
businesse
which
wee
have
with
the
Wicomesses
,
therefore
tell
them
what
I
have
said
;
and
that
I
expect
a
speedy
answere
;
and
so
dismist
him
.
It
fell
in
the
way
of
my
discourse
,
to
speake
of
the
Indian
money
of
those
parts
,
It
is
of
two
sorts
,
Wompompeag
and
Roanoake
;
both
of
them
are
made
of
a
Fish-shell
,
that
they
gather
by
the
Sea
side
,
Wompompeag
is
of
the
greater
sort
,
and
Roanoake
of
the
lesser
,
and
the
Wompompeag
is
three
times
the
value
of
Roanoake
;
and
these
serue
as
Gold
and
Siluer
doe
heere
;
they
barter
also
one
commoditie
for
another
,
and
are
very
glad
of
trafficke
and
commerce
,
so
farre
as
to
supply
their
necessities
:
They
shew
no
great
desire
of
heaping
wealth
,
yet
some
they
will
have
to
be
buryed
with
them
;
If
they
were
Christians
,
and
would
live
so
free
from
covetousnesse
,
and
many
other
vices
which
abound
in
Christendome
,
they
would
be
a
brave
people
.
I
therefore
conclude
,
that
since
God
Almighty
hath
made
this
Countrey
so
large
and
fruitfull
,
and
that
the
people
be
such
as
you
have
heard
them
described
;
It
is
much
more
Prudence
and
Charity
,
to
Civilize
,
and
make
them
Christians
,
then
to
kill
,
robbe
,
and
hunt
them
from
place
to
place
,
as
you
would
doe
a
wolfe
.
By
reducing
of
them
,
God
shall
be
serued
,
his
Majesties
Empire
enlarged
by
the
addition
of
many
thousand
Subjects
,
as
well
as
of
large
Territories
,
our
Nation
honoured
,
and
the
Planters
themselues
enriched
by
the
trafficke
and
commerce
which
may
be
had
with
them
;
and
in
many
other
things
,
they
may
be
usefull
,
but
prejudiciall
they
cannot
be
,
if
it
be
not
through
their
owne
faults
,
by
negligence
of
fortifying
themselues
,
and
not
conseruing
military
discipline
.

If
