SIGILVM REGIS MAGNAE BRITANIAE FRANCIAE ET HIBERNIAE
PRO CON SILIO SVO VIRGINIAE

WHereas sundrie the aduenturers to Uirginia in their zeale to that memorable worke , the plantation of that country with an English Colonie , for the establishing of the Gospell there , and the Honour of our King and country , haue published a little standing Lotterie , consisting but of 12. pence for euery Lot : And therein haue proportioned to the aduenturers more then the one halfe to be repayed in money or faire Prizes without any abatement , besides sundry other Welcomes and Rewards : hoping that the inhabitants of this honourable Citie aduenturing euen but small summes of money , would haue soone supplied so little a summe appointed to so good a worke : which wee did purpose to draw out in Candlemas Tearme last : yet now seeing that the slow bringing in of their money hath crossed our intents , either because there was no certaine day nominated for the drawing thereof , or for some lewd aspersions that no good successe was likely to ensue to this action .

Wee doe therefore signifie , that a moneth past , we sent away a ship thither with her competent number of good men and munition , and doe purpose continually to supply them to the vtmost of our meanes . The rather for that wee haue information from them , that they are now able to subsist of themselues , and want only more able labouring men , and conuenient clothing for them .

In consideration whereof , we do certifie all men , that we do purpose ( God willing ) to begin the drawing of this Lotterie the 10. day of May next . And that the last day of bringing in any money shall be the 3. day of the same moneth : Betwixt which times the books shall be brought in , and made vp , and the Lots written out proportionablie according to the moneys that shall come in .

Imprinted by FELIX KYNGSTON for William Welby , dwelling at the signe of the Swanne in Pauls Churchyard . 1613.
