AN
ENCOVRAGEMENT
TO
COLONIES
.
THe
sending
forth
of
Colonies
(
seeming
a
nouelty
)
is
esteemed
now
to
bee
a
strange
thing
,
as
not
onely
being
aboue
the
courage
of
common
men
,
but
altogether
alienated
from
their
knowledge
,
which
is
no
wonder
,
since
that
course
though
both
ancient
,
and
vsuall
,
hath
beene
by
the
intermission
of
so
many
ages
discontinued
,
yea
was
impossible
to
be
practised
so
long
as
there
was
no
vast
ground
,
howsoeuer
men
had
beene
willing
,
whereupon
Plantations
might
haue
beene
made
,
yet
there
is
none
who
will
doubt
but
that
the
world
in
her
infancy
,
and
innocency
,
was
first
peopled
after
this
manner
.
The
next
generations
succeeding
Shem
planted
in
Asia
,
Chams
in
Africke
,
and
Iaphets
in
Europe
:
Abraham
and
Lot
were
Captaines
of
Colonies
,
the
Land
then
being
as
free
as
the
Seas
are
now
,
since
they
parted
them
in
euery
part
where
they
passed
,
not
taking
notice
of
natiues
without
impediment
.
That
memorable
troope
of
Iewes
which
Moses
led
from
Aegypt
to
Canaan
was
a
kind
of
Colonie
though
miraculously
conducted
by
God
,
who
intended
thereby
to
aduance
his
Church
and
to
destroy
the
rejected
Ethnikes
.
Salmanezer
King
of
Ashur
was
remarked
for
the
first
who
did
violate
the
naturall
ingenuitie
of
this
commendable
kind
of
policy
by
too
politike
an
intention
;
for
hauing
transported
the
ten
Tribes
Israel
,
to
the
end
that
transplanting
and
dispersing
them
,
hee
might
either
weaken
their
strength
,
or
abolish
their
memorie
by
incorporating
of
them
with
his
other
Subjects
;
he
to
preuent
the
dangers
incident
amongst
remote
vassals
did
send
a
Colonie
to
inhabite
Samaria
of
a
purpose
thereby
to
secure
his
late
and
questionable
conquest
.
Who
can
imagine
by
this
industrious
course
of
Plantations
,
what
an
vnexpected
progresse
from
a
despised
beginning
hath
beene
suddenly
made
to
the
height
of
greatnesse
!
The
Phoenicians
quickly
founded
Sidon
,
and
Tirus
,
so
much
renowned
both
by
sacred
,
and
humane
writers
,
and
a
few
Tirians
builded
Carthage
,
which
had
first
no
more
ground
allowed
her
than
could
be
compassed
by
the
extended
dimensions
of
a
Bulls
hide
,
which
for
acquiring
of
the
more
ground
they
diuided
in
as
many
sundrie
parts
as
was
possible
,
yet
in
end
that
Town
became
the
Mistresse
of
Afrike
,
and
the
riuall
of
Rome
:
and
Rome
it selfe
that
great
Ladie
of
the
World
,
and
terrour
to
all
Nations
,
ambitiously
clayming
for
her
first
founders
a
few
scandalized
fugitiues
that
fled
from
the
ruines
of
Troy
,
did
rise
from
small
appearances
to
that
exorbitancy
of
power
,
which
at
this
day
is
remembred
with
admiration
;
Though
the
walls
of
it
at
that
time
were
very
lowe
when
the
one
brother
did
kill
the
other
for
jumping
ouer
them
,
either
jealousie
already
preuayling
aboue
naturall
affection
,
or
else
vnaduised
anger
constructing
that
which
might
haue
been
casually
or
carelesly
done
,
in
a
smistrous
sense
to
the
hatefull
behauiour
of
insolency
or
scorne
;
Their
number
then
was
not
only
very
small
,
but
they
wanted
women
,
without
which
they
could
not
encrease
,
nor
subsist
,
till
they
ranished
the
daughters
of
the
Sabins
,
by
a
violent
match
at
first
,
portending
their
future
rapins
,
and
what
a
furious
off-spring
they
were
likely
to
ingender
.
And
when
that
haughty
Citie
beganne
to
suffer
the
miseries
which
she
had
so
long
beene
accustomed
to
inflict
vpon
others
,
the
venerable
Citie
of
Venice
(
keeping
for
so
many
ages
a
spotlesse
reputation
)
was
first
begunne
by
a
few
discouraged
persons
,
who
fleeing
from
the
furie
of
the
barbarous
Nations
that
then
encroached
vpon
Italie
,
were
distracted
with
feare
and
(
seeking
for
their
safety
)
did
stumble
vpon
a
commodious
dwelling
.
The
Graecians
were
the
first
,
at
least
of
all
the
Gentiles
,
(
who
joyning
learning
with
armes
)
did
both
doe
,
and
write
that
which
was
worthie
to
be
remembred
;
and
that
small
parcel
of
ground
whose
greatnesse
was
then
only
valued
by
the
vertue
of
the
inhabitants
,
did
plant
Trapizonde
in
the
East
,
and
many
other
Cities
in
Asia
the
lesse
,
the
protecting
of
whose
liberties
was
the
first
cause
of
warre
between
them
and
the
Persian
Monarchs
;
then
besides
all
the
adjacent
Iles
they
planted
Siracusa
in
Sicile
,
most
part
of
Italie
,
which
made
it
to
bee
called
Gracia
maior
,
and
Marseills
in
France
.
O
what
a
strange
alteration
!
that
this
part
,
which
did
flourish
thus
,
whilest
it
was
possessed
by
vigorous
spirits
,
who
were
capable
of
great
enterprises
,
did
so
many
braue
things
should
now
(
the
seate
of
base
seruile
people
)
become
the
most
abject
and
contemptible
part
of
all
the
Territories
belonging
to
the
.
barbarous
Ottomans
,
whose
insolent
Ianissaries
(
as
the
Pretorian
Guards
did
with
their
Emperours
,
and
Mamalukes
of
Egypt
with
their
Soldans
)
presume
at
this
time
to
dispose
of
the
Regall
power
,
vpbrayding
the
miserable
follie
of
Christians
,
who
dangerously
embarqued
in
intestine
warres
,
though
inuited
by
an
encountring
occasion
,
neglect
so
great
,
so
glorious
,
and
so
easie
a
conquest
.
The
Romanes
comming
to
command
a
well
peopled
World
,
had
no
use
of
Colonies
,
but
onely
thereby
to
reward
such
old
deseruing
Souldiers
as
(
age
and
merit
pleading
an
immunitie
from
any
further
constrained
trauell
)
had
brauely
exceeded
the
ordinary
course
of
time
appointed
for
military
seruice
,
which
custome
was
vsed
in
Germanie
,
France
,
Spaine
,
and
Brittaine
,
and
likewise
that
the
Townes
erected
in
this
sort
might
serue
for
Citadels
imposed
vpon
euery
conquered
Prouince
,
whereof
some
doe
flourish
at
this
day
,
and
of
others
nothing
doth
remaine
but
the
very
name
onely
,
their
ruines
being
so
ruined
,
that
wee
can
hardly
condiscend
vpon
what
solitary
part
to
bestowe
the
fame
of
their
former
being
.
I
am
loth
by
disputable
opinions
to
dig
vp
the
Tombes
of
them
that
more
extenuated
then
the
dust
are
buried
in
obliuion
&
will
leaue
these
disregarded
relicts
of
greatnesse
to
continue
as
they
are
,
the
scornc
of
pride
,
witnessing
the
power
of
time
.
Neither
will
I
after
the
common
custome
of
the
world
,
ouerualuing
things
past
disualue
the
present
,
but
considering
seriously
of
that
which
is
lately
done
in
Ireland
,
doe
finde
a
Plantation
there
inferiour
to
none
that
hath
beene
heretofore
.
The
Babylonians
hauing
conquered
the
Israelites
did
transplant
them
as
exposed
to
ruine
in
a
remote
Countrey
,
sending
others
of
their
owne
Nation
(
that
they
might
be
vtterly
extirpated
)
to
inhabite
Sam●ria
in
their
places
.
And
our
King
hath
only
diuided
the
most
seditious
families
of
the
Irish
by
dispersing
them
in
sundry
parts
within
the
Countrey
,
not
to
extinguish
,
but
to
dissipate
their
power
,
who
now
neither
haue
,
nor
giue
cause
of
feare
.
The
Romanes
did
build
some
Townes
which
they
did
plant
with
their
owne
people
by
all
rigour
to
curbe
the
Natiues
next
adjacent
thereunto
,
And
our
King
hath
incorporated
some
of
his
best
Brittaines
with
the
Irish
,
planted
in
sundry
places
without
power
to
oppresse
,
but
onely
to
ciuilize
them
by
their
example
.
Thus
Ireland
which
heretofore
was
scarcely
discouered
,
and
only
irritated
by
others
,
prouing
to
the
English
as
the
Lowe-Countries
did
to
Spaine
,
a
meanes
whereby
to
waste
their
men
,
and
their
money
,
is
now
really
conquered
,
becomming
a
strength
to
the
State
,
and
a
glorie
to
his
Majesties
gouernment
,
who
hath
in
the
setling
thereof
excelled
all
that
was
commended
in
any
ancient
Colonie
.
As
all
first
were
encouraged
to
Plantations
by
the
largenesse
of
the
conquests
that
were
proposed
vnto
them
,
fearing
onely
want
of
people
,
and
not
of
.
land
,
so
in
after
ages
when
all
knowne
parts
became
peopled
,
they
were
quickly
entangled
with
the
other
extremitie
,
grudging
to
be
bounded
within
their
prospect
,
and
jarring
with
their
neighbours
for
small
parcels
of
ground
,
a
strife
for
limits
limiting
the
liues
of
many
who
entring
first
in
controuersie
vpon
a
point
of
profit
though
with
the
losse
of
ten
times
more
,
valuing
their
honour
by
the
opinion
of
others
behooued
to
proceed
as
engaged
for
the
safety
of
their
reputation
.
Then
richesse
being
acquired
by
industrie
,
and
glorie
by
employments
,
these
two
did
beget
auarice
,
and
ambition
,
which
lodging
in
some
subtile
heads
vpon
a
politike
consideration
to
vnite
intestine
diuisions
did
transferre
their
splene
to
forraine
parts
,
not
seeking
to
rectifie
the
affections
,
but
to
busie
them
abroad
where
least
harme
was
feared
,
and
most
benefit
expected
,
so
that
where
they
had
first
in
a
peaceable
sort
sought
for
Lands
onely
wherewith
to
furnish
their
necessity
,
which
conueniency
,
or
sufficiency
,
did
easily
accommodate
,
now
ayming
at
greatnesse
the
desires
of
men
growne
infinite
,
made
them
strangers
to
contentment
,
and
enemies
to
rest
.
Some
Nations
seeking
to
exchange
for
better
seates
,
others
to
command
their
neighbours
,
there
was
for
many
ages
no
speach
but
of
wrongs
and
reuenges
,
conquests
and
reuolts
,
razings
and
ruining
of
States
,
a
continuall
reuolution
determining
the
periods
of
Time
by
the
miseries
of
mankind
,
and
in
regard
of
the
populousnesse
of
these
ages
during
the
Monarchies
of
the
Assirians
,
Persians
,
Graecians
,
and
Romanes
,
the
world
could
not
haue
subsisted
if
it
had
not
beene
purged
of
turbulent
humours
by
letting
out
the
bloud
of
many
thousands
,
so
that
warre
was
the
vniuersall
Chirurgeon
of
these
distempered
times
:
And
thereafter
O
what
monstrous
multitudes
of
people
were
slaine
by
huge
deluges
of
barbarous
armies
that
ouerflowed
Italie
,
France
and
Spaine
!
and
the
Christians
haue
long
beene
subject
to
the
like
calamities
wanting
a
commoditie
how
they
might
(
not
wronging
others
)
in
a
Christian
manner
employ
the
people
that
were
more
chargeable
then
necessary
at
home
,
which
was
the
cause
of
much
mischiefe
among
themselues
,
till
at
that
time
when
Spaine
was
striuing
with
France
how
to
part
Italie
,
as
Italie
had
formerly
done
with
Carthage
how
to
part
Spaine
.
Then
is
pleased
God
hauing
pitie
of
the
Christians
who
for
purpose
of
small
importance
did
prodigally
prostitute
the
liues
of
them
whom
hee
had
purchased
with
so
precious
a
ransome
,
as
it
were
for
diuerting
that
violent
kind
of
vanitie
,
to
discouer
a
new
world
,
which
it
would
seeme
in
all
reason
should
haue
transported
them
with
designes
of
more
moment
,
whereby
glory
and
profit
with
a
guiltlesse
labour
was
to
bee
attayned
with
lesse
danger
whereunto
they
are
as
it
were
inuited
,
and
prouoked
with
so
many
eminent
aduantages
palpably
exposed
to
any
cleare
judgement
that
I
thinke
(
this
obuious
facilitie
vilifying
that
which
a
further
difficulty
might
the
more
endeare
)
the
easinesse
of
the
prey
hath
blunted
the
appetite
.
When
Christopher
Columbus
had
in
vaine
propounded
this
enterprise
to
diuers
Christian
Princes
,
Isabella
of
Castile
against
the
opinion
of
her
husband
(
though
so
much
renowned
for
wit
yet
not
reaching
this
mysterie
)
did
first
furnish
him
for
a
Voyage
,
as
if
it
were
fatall
that
that
Nation
should
owe
the
greatest
part
of
their
greatnesse
to
the
female
Sexe
,
And
if
the
Spaniards
would
sincerely
,
and
gratefully
haue
bestowed
the
benefits
whereby
God
did
allure
them
to
possesse
this
Land
for
the
planting
of
it
with
Christians
enclined
to
ciuilitie
,
and
religion
,
it
had
at
this
day
considering
the
excellency
of
the
soyle
,
for
all
the
perfections
that
nature
could
afford
;
beene
the
most
singularly
accomplished
place
of
the
world
,
but
it
hath
infortunatly
fallen
out
farre
otherwise
,
that
the
measures
that
are
drawne
from
thence
(
mynes
to
blowe
vp
mindes
and
rockes
to
ruine
faith
)
doe
proue
the
seed
of
dissention
,
the
sinewes
of
the
warre
,
and
nurcerie
of
all
the
troubles
amongst
Christians
.
The
Spaniards
that
were
so
happie
as
to
chance
first
vpon
this
new
World
,
were
of
all
others
(
hauing
but
a
vast
mountainous
Countrey
)
in
regard
of
their
scarcity
of
people
most
vnfit
for
planting
thereof
,
and
could
not
but
soone
haue
abandoned
the
same
,
if
they
had
not
so
quickly
encountred
with
the
rich
Mynes
of
Mexico
,
New
Spaine
and
Peru
which
were
once
likely
to
haue
beene
lost
for
lacke
of
wood
,
till
the
way
was
inuented
of
refining
Siluer
by
quicksiluer
,
which
may
bee
easily
done
out
of
any
oare
that
is
free
from
Lead
,
and
(
all
the
Spaniards
disdayning
worke
as
a
seruile
thing
belowe
their
abilities
)
their
greatest
trouble
is
the
want
of
workmen
:
for
the
Natiues
that
are
extant
,
suruiuing
many
vexations
,
if
they
become
ciuile
out
of
an
indulgency
to
libertie
,
and
ease
,
whereunto
all
the
Americans
(
liking
better
of
a
penurious
life
thus
then
to
haue
plenty
with
taking
paines
)
are
naturally
enclined
,
that
they
may
haue
a
secure
ease
warranted
by
an
order
doe
betake
themselues
to
Cloisters
,
so
that
they
haue
no
meanes
to
prosecute
these
workes
but
by
drawing
yeerly
a
great
number
of
Negroes
from
Angola
,
and
other
parts
,
which
being
but
an
vnnaturall
merchandise
,
are
bought
at
a
deare
rate
,
and
maintayned
with
danger
,
for
they
once
of
late
,
as
I
haue
heard
from
one
that
was
there
at
that
time
designed
to
murther
their
Masters
,
by
a
plot
which
should
haue
beene
put
in
execution
vpon
a
Good-friday
,
when
all
being
exercised
at
their
deuotion
were
least
apt
to
apprehend
such
a
wicked
course
,
and
it
is
alwaies
feared
that
to
reuenge
what
of
necessitie
they
must
suffer
,
and
to
procure
their
libertie
hating
most
what
they
feele
for
the
present
,
and
hoping
for
better
by
a
change
,
they
will
joyne
with
any
strong
enemy
that
landing
there
dare
attempt
the
conquest
of
that
Countrey
.
I
will
not
here
insist
in
setting
downe
the
manned
how
the
Spaniards
made
themselues
Masters
of
so
many
rich
and
pleasant
Countries
,
but
doe
leaue
that
to
their
owne
Histories
,
though
I
confesse
(
like
wisemen
)
they
are
very
sparing
to
report
the
estate
of
these
parts
,
and
doe
barre
all
strangers
from
hauing
accesse
thereunto
,
wishing
to
enjoy
that
which
they
loue
in
priuate
,
and
not
inconsiderately
vanting
by
the
vanitie
of
praises
to
procure
vnto
themselues
the
vexation
that
they
might
suffer
by
the
earnest
pursuit
of
emulating
riuals
,
but
as
they
did
brauely
begin
,
and
resolutely
prosecute
their
Discoueries
in
America
,
so
hath
it
justly
recompenced
their
courage
,
prouing
the
ground
of
all
that
greatnesse
which
this
time
(
not
without
cause
)
doth
make
them
(
as
able
,
or
willing
,
to
conquer
others
if
not
both
)
so
much
suspected
by
euery
jealous
State
.
And
Henry
the
Seuenth
the
Salomon
of
England
had
his
judgement
onely
condemned
for
neglecting
that
good
occasion
which
was
first
offered
vnto
him
by
Columbus
,
yet
did
he
presently
seeke
to
repaire
his
errour
by
sending
forth
Sebastian
Chabot
a
Venetian
who
did
discouer
the
I
le
of
Newfound-land
,
and
this
part
of
the
Continent
of
America
now
intended
to
bee
planted
by
his
Majesties
Subjects
vnder
the
name
of
New
England
,
and
New
Scotland
,
so
that
the
fruits
of
his
happie
raigue
still
growing
to
a
greater
perfection
and
now
ripe
to
bee
gathered
by
this
age
,
as
he
made
way
by
the
marriage
of
his
eldest
daughter
for
vniting
these
two
Nations
at
home
,
so
did
hee
the
same
likewise
by
this
discouerie
abroad
,
but
the
accomplishment
of
both
was
reserued
for
his
Majestie
now
raigning
,
and
no
Prince
in
the
world
may
more
easily
effectuate
such
a
purpose
since
his
Dominions
affoord
abundance
of
braue
men
singularly
valued
for
able
bodies
and
actiue
spirits
whereof
the
English
haue
already
giuen
good
proofe
of
their
sufficiency
in
forraine
Plantations
;
but
before
I
proceed
further
in
that
which
doth
concerne
them
I
must
obserue
what
the
French
haue
done
in
this
kind
.
All
such
aduentrous
designes
out
of
ignorance
,
or
enuie
(
either
contemned
,
or
doubtfully
censured
)
are
neuer
approued
,
nor
imitated
,
til
they
be
justified
by
the
successe
,
&
then
many
who
had
first
been
too
distrustfull
falling
in
the
other
extremitie
of
an
implicite
confidence
,
to
redeeme
their
former
neglects
,
doe
precipitate
themselues
in
needlesse
dangers
.
After
that
the
Spaniards
were
knowne
to
prosper
,
and
that
it
was
conceiued
by
the
Voyage
of
Chabot
what
a
large
vastnesse
this
new
Continent
was
likely
to
proue
,
Francis
the
first
did
furnish
forth
Iohn
Verrizzon
a
Florentine
who
did
discouer
that
part
of
America
which
was
first
(
and
most
justly
)
called
New
France
and
now
Terra
Florida
.
And
vpon
his
returne
he
affirming
it
to
be
(
as
it
is
indeed
for
all
the
excellencies
of
nature
)
one
of
the
most
pleasant
parts
of
the
world
,
This
was
the
cause
that
after
a
long
delay
(
during
the
space
of
two
Princes
whole
raignes
)
some
new
Discoueries
reuiuing
the
memory
of
this
,
in
the
yeere
of
God
1562.
Charles
the
ninth
(
hauing
a
haughty
mind
,
and
being
so
rauished
with
a
desire
of
glorie
,
that
he
was
sometimes
tempted
by
sinistrous
suggestions
in
seeking
after
it
to
goe
vpon
wrong
grounds
)
was
quickly
enamoured
with
the
eminency
of
such
a
singular
designe
,
wherein
hee
did
employ
Iohn
Ribant
,
who
comming
to
Florida
,
was
kindly
receiued
by
the
Natiues
there
,
and
hauing
made
choice
of
a
place
where
to
build
a
Fort
,
after
hee
had
stayed
a
time
giuing
direction
for
such
things
as
were
necessarie
to
be
done
,
he
left
forty
men
therein
when
hee
came
away
with
one
Captaine
Albert
to
command
them
,
who
after
that
hee
had
with
difficulty
beene
freed
from
the
danger
of
famine
,
and
of
fire
(
vnseasonably
affecting
the
disused
austeritie
of
the
Ancients
)
did
for
a
small
offence
hang
one
of
his
companie
with
his
owne
hands
,
so
losing
both
the
dignitie
of
his
place
,
and
the
hearts
of
his
people
at
one
time
,
which
hee
should
haue
beene
extremely
studious
to
preserue
,
esteeming
them
as
fellowes
of
his
sufferings
,
and
coheires
of
his
hopes
,
at
least
the
qualitie
of
the
offence
and
necessitie
of
his
death
should
haue
beene
made
so
cleare
,
that
as
importing
a
common
good
,
all
(
if
not
vrging
it
)
should
at
least
haue
condiscended
thereunto
,
but
this
errour
of
his
was
acquired
in
as
rude
a
manner
:
for
his
companie
putting
him
to
death
did
make
choice
of
another
Captaine
,
and
despairing
of
a
new
supplie
though
wanting
skilfull
workmen
for
such
a
purpose
(
necessitie
sharpning
their
wits
)
they
builded
a
little
Barque
which
they
calfatted
and
made
fit
for
the
Seas
with
the
Gummes
of
trees
which
they
found
there
in
stead
of
Pitch
,
and
in
place
of
Sayles
they
furnished
her
with
such
linnens
as
they
had
vpon
their
beds
,
and
being
thus
set
forth
(
couragiously
ouercomming
a
number
of
admirable
difficulties
)
did
returne
to
France
after
a
desperate
manner
.
The
dangerlesse
returne
,
and
plausible
hopes
of
Ribaut
,
assisted
by
the
serious
perswasions
of
the
Admirall
,
(
the
receiued
opinion
of
whose
not
questioned
wisedome
was
enough
to
warrant
any
thing
that
had
his
approbation
)
did
moue
the
French
King
to
send
out
a
great
number
of
men
with
a
competent
prouision
of
all
things
requisite
vnder
the
charge
of
Monsieur
Landonier
,
who
had
a
prosperous
Voyage
,
and
a
congratulated
arriuall
at
the
French
Fort
by
the
Sauages
in
Florida
,
but
immediatly
thereafter
hee
was
extremely
perplexed
with
the
vnexpected
,
mutinies
and
factious
offers
of
some
whom
he
had
carried
with
him
,
who
had
not
gone
thither
intending
what
they
pretended
,
out
of
a
cleare
resolution
to
inhabite
that
bounds
,
but
did
onely
flee
from
some
inconueniences
that
had
vexed
them
at
home
,
such
men
as
hating
labour
they
could
not
industriously
serue
by
their
endeauours
in
a
mechanike
trade
,
so
were
they
not
capable
of
generous
inspirations
that
prouoke
magnanimitie
,
but
habitually
bred
to
vice
were
naturally
enemies
to
vertue
,
which
made
thirtie
of
them
taking
away
a
Barke
that
belonged
to
the
Plantation
betake
themselues
to
the
Seas
in
hope
(
continuing
as
they
had
beene
accustomed
in
naughty
courses
)
to
seize
vpon
a
prize
whereby
they
might
incontinent
bee
made
rich
;
and
their
designe
in
some
measure
had
the
projected
issue
,
but
in
place
of
raising
their
fortunes
(
the
Lord
neuer
blessing
them
that
abandon
such
a
worthie
worke
,
much
lesse
with
a
minde
to
doe
mischiefe
)
it
proued
in
end
away
to
worke
their
confusion
,
And
Laudoniere
being
happie
to
haue
his
companie
purged
of
such
pestiferous
fellowes
did
carrie
himselfe
brauely
as
became
a
commander
,
aduisedly
enquiring
concerning
the
Sauages
,
what
their
force
was
,
what
relation
they
had
one
to
another
,
where
they
were
friends
or
foes
,
how
their
pleasures
were
placed
,
and
by
what
accounts
they
reckoned
their
gaines
or
losses
,
so
that
hee
was
alwaies
ready
as
might
stand
best
with
the
good
of
his
affaires
to
assist
,
or
oppose
,
to
diuide
,
or
agree
any
partie
,
thus
by
shewing
power
purchasing
authortie
,
til
he
drew
the
ballance
of
all
businesse
to
bee
swayed
where
hee
would
as
being
Master
of
the
Countrey
.
Hereupon
(
the
vmbragious
aspersions
of
enuie
so
darkening
reason
that
it
could
not
discerne
merite
at
least
out
of
a
depraued
opinion
with
a
derogatory
censure
cancelling
all
naturall
ingenuitie
,
could
not
or
would
not
acknowledge
what
was
due
thereunto
)
a
report
was
spread
in
France
by
some
that
Laudoniere
liued
like
a
Prince
disdayning
the
condition
of
a
Subject
,
and
the
French
out
of
a
preposterous
policie
fearing
what
they
should
haue
wished
that
one
of
their
owne
Nation
could
be
too
great
abroad
,
they
sent
backe
Ribaut
with
a
new
commission
to
succeed
him
in
his
charge
,
(
shaking
thereby
the
first
foundation
of
a
growing
greatnesse
)
who
seeking
to
steale
priuately
vpon
him
to
preuent
aduertisements
that
hee
might
take
him
at
vnawares
did
hardly
escape
to
haue
beene
sunke
at
his
first
entrie
.
Immediatly
after
that
Ribaut
was
admitted
Gouernour
(
Laudoniere
hauing
shewed
himselfe
as
dutifull
to
obey
as
he
had
beene
skilfull
in
commanding
)
intelligence
was
giuen
them
that
sixe
Spanish
Ships
were
riding
at
an
anchor
not
farre
from
thence
,
and
he
ambitiously
aspiring
to
grace
his
beginning
with
some
great
matter
against
the
aduice
of
all
the
rest
with
an
obstinate
resolution
would
needs
goe
and
pursue
them
taking
the
best
of
the
companie
with
him
,
and
so
left
the
Fort
weakely
guarded
,
which
made
it
to
proue
an
easie
prey
for
the
Spaniards
of
whom
the
most
part
leauing
their
Ships
(
a
minde
transported
with
hope
not
thinking
of
paine
)
did
march
thorow
the
woods
whence
no
perill
was
expected
,
and
in
a
maruellous
stormy
night
,
as
if
the
very
Heauens
(
accessarily
culpable
)
had
conspired
with
the
malice
of
men
for
the
working
of
mischief
.
When
the
Frenchmen
(
too
much
affecting
their
owne
ease
)
had
neglected
their
watch
,
surprizing
their
Fort
did
put
them
all
to
the
sword
,
which
extreme
crueltie
of
theirs
was
brauely
reuenged
by
one
Captaine
Gorgnes
a
Gentleman
of
Burdeaux
,
who
out
of
a
generous
disposition
being
sensible
of
this
publike
injurie
whereby
all
his
Nation
was
interested
,
as
if
it
had
only
in
particular
imported
the
ruine
of
his
owne
fortunes
,
went
or
purpose
to
this
part
,
and
secretly
before
his
comming
was
knowne
contracting
a
great
friendship
with
the
Sauages
who
did
hate
the
austere
countenance
,
and
rigorous
gouernment
of
the
Spaniards
,
when
it
came
to
be
compared
with
the
insinuating
formes
of
the
French
,
he
found
the
meanes
by
a
stratagem
that
he
vsed
to
entrap
the
Spaniards
,
by
the
death
of
them
all
expiating
that
which
they
had
made
his
Countreymen
formerly
to
suffer
,
yet
after
the
manner
of
many
being
more
apt
to
acquire
then
to
preserue
(
acting
greater
things
when
carried
with
the
impetuositie
of
a
present
fury
then
hee
could
confirme
with
the
constant
progresse
of
a
well
setled
resolution
)
he
made
no
more
vse
of
his
victorie
,
but
returned
back
to
France
,
flattering
himself
with
the
hope
of
a
triumphall
welcome
,
in
place
whereof
by
some
meanes
made
Court
he
was
proclaimed
a
Rebell
,
as
a
sacrifice
appointed
to
appease
Spaine
.
This
was
the
last
thing
that
the
French
did
in
Florida
.
The
next
forraine
aduenture
was
likewise
procured
by
the
Admirall
,
a
worthie
man
,
who
would
gladly
haue
diuer●ed
the
vindictiue
dispositions
of
his
Countrymen
from
the
bloudy
ciuile
warres
wherewith
they
were
then
entangled
,
to
prosecute
some
braue
enterprise
abroad
whereby
they
might
not
be
made
guilty
,
and
yet
haue
glorie
,
The
man
that
did
offer
himselfe
for
Conductor
of
the
Voyage
was
one
Villegagnon
a
Knight
of
Malta
who
then
pretended
to
be
of
the
reformed
religion
(
as
all
doe
who
affect
to
appeare
what
they
are
not
indeed
)
making
shew
of
extraordinary
remorse
,
and
zeale
,
and
that
hee
had
a
desire
to
retire
himselfe
from
the
vanitie
,
corruption
,
and
vexation
of
their
parts
to
some
remote
place
in
America
,
where
professing
himselfe
such
as
he
was
,
he
might
(
free
from
all
kind
of
impediments
)
begin
a
new
life
,
and
where
he
hoped
to
found
such
a
Colony
as
should
serue
for
a
retreat
to
all
those
of
the
reformed
Religion
who
(
weary
of
the
persecutions
at
home
)
would
goe
where
they
might
liue
with
safety
,
and
enjoy
the
libertie
of
their
conscience
,
by
this
meanes
hee
got
a
great
number
to
accompany
him
,
amongst
whom
was
Iohn
de
Lerie
their
Minister
,
a
learned
man
who
wrote
a
discourse
of
all
that
passed
in
this
Voyage
,
and
there
were
sundry
others
that
came
from
the
Towne
of
Geneua
,
so
that
hauing
a
reasonable
number
and
well
prouided
,
hee
embarqued
and
sayled
towards
Brasile
,
making
choice
of
a
place
fit
for
a
Plantation
,
where
they
found
(
the
soile
excellent
,
the
Natiues
well
inclined
towards
them
,
and
a
supplie
comming
in
due
time
)
all
things
so
concurring
for
their
contentment
that
they
might
haue
begunne
a
great
worke
happie
and
hopefull
for
their
posteritie
,
if
Villagagnon
had
beene
the
man
that
he
made
them
beleeue
he
was
,
but
he
apparantly
neuer
louing
them
of
the
Religion
in
his
heart
had
counterfeited
to
doe
so
for
a
time
,
onely
(
angling
their
affections
)
by
this
meanes
to
draw
a
supply
from
them
;
for
as
soone
as
hee
was
setled
in
his
gouernment
,
that
hee
found
himselfe
strong
enough
by
Catholikes
,
and
others
of
his
friends
that
he
had
with
him
to
doe
(
as
hee
thought
)
what
he
would
,
straight
,
remouing
the
maske
that
hypocrisie
had
put
vpon
him
,
he
discharged
all
exercise
of
the
reformed
religion
which
no
man
with
more
feruency
had
professed
then
himselfe
,
commanding
all
to
conforme
themselues
to
the
orders
that
he
had
set
downe
,
but
(
in
place
of
feare
which
he
purposed
to
giue
,
receiuing
but
contempt
)
this
base
kind
of
carriage
did
quite
ouerthrowe
his
authoritie
,
and
they
making
a
partie
amongst
themselues
did
remoue
with
their
Minister
Iohn
de
Lerie
,
which
diuision
of
their
Colonie
in
two
was
the
cause
that
neither
could
subsist
,
so
that
Villagagnon
abandoning
that
Countrey
,
all
after
many
seuerall
designes
returned
vnto
France
,
hauing
found
no
impediment
to
so
good
a
purpose
but
the
peruersenesse
of
such
mindes
as
they
had
carried
with
them
.
Monsieur
De
Larauerdier
a
very
worthie
Gentleman
did
of
late
enterprise
the
like
course
in
the
same
bounds
,
and
was
crossed
in
the
same
manner
by
the
difference
of
Religion
(
disputations
quickning
them
to
contrauert
who
will
not
be
conuerted
)
that
distracted
his
companie
with
seuerall
opinions
,
yet
at
this
time
a
long
continuance
making
that
lesse
strange
amongst
the
French
then
it
was
wont
to
be
,
the
Gentleman
did
command
with
such
judgement
,
and
discretion
,
that
what
euer
priuate
dislike
was
,
it
neuer
bursted
forth
in
any
open
insurrection
.
And
for
the
space
of
foure
or
fiue
yeeres
being
befriended
by
the
Natiues
,
though
continually
opposed
both
by
the
Spaniards
,
and
by
the
Portugals
,
yet
he
alwaies
preuayled
,
liuing
(
as
himselfe
told
me
)
with
more
contentment
then
euer
he
had
done
in
his
time
either
before
or
since
;
hee
could
neuer
discerne
any
Winter
there
by
the
effects
,
seeing
no
stormy
weather
at
all
,
and
finding
a
continuall
greennesse
to
beautifie
the
fields
,
which
did
affoord
such
abundance
,
and
variety
of
all
things
necessary
for
the
maintaynance
,
that
they
were
neuer
in
any
danger
of
famine
,
but
in
end
finding
no
more
people
comming
from
France
,
and
fearing
that
time
should
weare
away
than
that
were
with
him
;
then
being
flattered
with
the
loue
of
his
natiue
soyle
,
longing
to
see
his
friends
,
and
tempted
by
the
hope
of
a
present
gaine
,
which
as
he
imagined
might
the
better
enable
him
for
some
such
purpose
in
an
other
part
,
he
capitulated
with
the
Spaniards
to
surrender
the
place
hauing
assurance
giuen
him
for
a
great
summe
of
money
which
should
haue
beene
deliuered
in
Spaine
,
but
comming
to
receiue
the
same
(
it
being
more
easie
to
pay
debt
by
reuenging
a
pretended
injurie
then
with
money
which
some
would
rather
keepe
then
their
Faith
)
he
was
cast
in
prison
,
where
hee
remayned
long
,
till
at
last
he
was
deliuered
by
the
mediation
of
our
Kings
Ambassadour
,
and
came
here
where
I
spake
with
him
of
purpose
to
giue
his
Majestie
thankes
-
I
heare
that
for
the
present
he
is
now
at
Rochell
(
with
a
hope
to
repaire
his
error
)
ready
to
embarque
for
some
such
like
enterprise
.
This
is
all
that
the
Frenchman
haue
done
in
the
South
parts
of
America
,
and
now
I
will
make
mention
of
their
proceedings
in
these
parts
that
are
next
vnto
vs
.
Francis
the
first
of
France
a
braue
Prince
,
and
naturally
giuen
to
great
things
,
after
the
Voyage
made
by
Iohn
Verrizan
(
Chabot
hauing
discouered
the
Continent
for
Henry
the
seuenth
)
did
send
forth
Iames
Quartier
one
of
Saint
Malo
,
who
by
two
seuerall
Voyages
did
discouer
the
Riuer
of
Cannada
,
and
by
his
relation
doth
commend
it
exceedingly
as
being
fertile
in
variety
of
Fishes
,
and
bordered
with
many
pleasant
meadowes
,
and
stately
woods
,
hauing
in
sundry
parts
abundance
of
Vines
growing
wilde
,
chiefly
in
one
Ile
which
he
hath
called
by
the
name
of
the
I
le
of
Orleans
.
This
man
neuer
made
any
Plantation
at
all
,
but
onely
discouered
and
traffiqued
with
the
Sauages
,
neither
was
there
any
further
done
by
Roberwall
,
who
did
liue
one
Winter
at
Cape
Breton
.
The
Marquesse
De
la
Roche
by
a
Commission
from
?
Henry
the
fourth
,
intending
a
Voyage
for
Cannada
,
happened
by
the
way
vpon
the
I
le
of
Sablon
(
which
is
now
comprehended
within
the
Patent
of
New
Scotland
)
and
there
(
trusting
to
the
strength
of
the
place
where
there
are
no
Sauages
at
all
)
landed
some
of
his
men
till
hee
should
haue
found
a
conuenient
place
within
the
maine
Land
fit
for
habitation
,
promising
then
to
returne
for
them
;
but
it
was
his
fortune
by
reason
of
contrary
winds
neuer
to
finde
the
maine
Land
,
being
blowne
backe
to
France
without
seeing
of
them
,
where
he
was
in
the
time
of
the
ciuile
warres
(
such
is
the
vncertainty
of
worldly
things
producing
vnexpected
effects
)
taken
prisoner
by
the
Duke
of
Mereoeur
,
and
shortly
after
died
,
to
that
his
people
whom
hee
had
left
at
Sablon
furnished
but
for
a
short
time
had
quickly
spent
their
prouisions
,
and
tooke
for
their
maintaynance
onely
such
things
as
the
place
it selfe
did
without
labour
freely
affoord
,
which
hath
a
race
of
Kowes
(
as
is
thought
)
first
transported
thither
by
the
Portugals
that
haue
long
continued
there
,
and
sundry
roots
fit
to
be
eaten
,
with
abundance
of
Fishes
,
Fowle
and
Venison
.
And
(
hauing
no
meanes
to
liue
but
by
sport
)
as
for
their
apparell
they
clothed
themselues
with
the
skinnes
of
such
creatures
as
they
could
kill
by
Land
,
or
Sea
,
so
that
liuing
there
for
the
space
of
twelue
yeeres
when
they
were
presented
to
Henry
the
fourth
who
had
hired
a
Fisherman
to
bring
them
home
,
as
I
haue
heard
from
them
that
did
see
them
at
first
before
the
King
,
they
were
in
very
good
health
,
and
looked
as
well
,
as
if
they
had
liued
all
that
time
in
France
:
But
hauing
beene
abused
by
the
Fisherman
who
(
cunningly
concealing
that
he
had
beene
directed
by
the
King
)
did
bargaine
with
them
to
haue
all
their
skinnes
for
transporting
them
home
,
which
were
of
great
value
,
some
of
them
being
of
blacke
Foxes
,
which
were
sold
at
fiftie
pounds
sterling
a
piece
,
and
aboue
,
for
the
recouerie
thereof
they
intended
a
processe
against
him
before
the
Court
of
Parliament
at
Paris
,
wherein
by
the
equitie
of
their
cause
,
or
by
the
compassion
of
the
Iudges
,
they
preuayled
,
gayning
by
that
meanes
a
stocke
wherewith
to
traffique
in
these
parts
againe
.
Monsieur
De
Montes
procuring
a
Patent
from
Henry
the
fourth
of
Cannada
from
the
40.
degree
Eastward
comprehending
all
the
bounds
that
is
now
both
within
New
England
and
New
Scotland
(
after
that
Queene
Elizabeth
had
formerly
giuen
one
thereof
as
belonging
to
this
Crowne
by
Chabots
Discouerie
)
did
set
forth
with
a
hundred
persons
fitted
for
a
Plantation
,
carried
in
two
ships
of
small
burthen
,
which
parting
from
France
on
seuerall
dayes
did
appoint
their
meeting
at
the
Port
Campseau
,
but
the
ship
wherein
Monsieur
De
Montes
had
placed
himselfe
going
first
,
and
fearing
the
huge
Mountaines
of
Ice
that
dissoluing
from
the
farre
Northerne
parts
come
alongst
the
coast
of
Newfound-land
during
the
Spring
time
,
did
take
her
course
more
to
the
South
,
and
arriued
at
Port
De
Muton
a
Bay
now
in
the
fore-land
of
New
Scotland
,
from
whence
one
of
the
Natiues
or
the
Countrey
(
either
out
of
courtesie
,
or
to
gayne
a
reward
)
leauing
his
Wife
and
Children
(
as
a
pledge
,
or
else
to
bee
nourished
with
them
)
went
to
Campseau
,
and
within
a
weeke
brought
them
newes
from
their
other
Ship
that
had
arriued
there
,
which
comming
to
them
,
and
Monsieur
Champlein
who
had
gone
in
a
shallop
to
discouer
the
coast
being
returned
,
they
sayled
together
Westwards
to
Cape
Sable
,
and
from
thence
Northwards
to
Bay
Saint
Maries
,
where
towards
the
South
side
thereof
they
found
good
meadowes
and
arable
ground
fit
to
be
planted
vpon
,
and
towards
the
North
a
mountainous
and
minerall
bounds
,
hauing
discouered
one
veine
of
metall
that
did
hold
Siluer
,
and
two
of
Iron
stone
:
After
this
,
hauing
seene
Port
Royall
,
they
went
to
the
Riuer
called
by
them
Sante
Croix
,
but
more
fit
now
to
bee
called
Tweed
,
because
it
doth
diuide
New
England
and
New
Scotland
,
bounding
the
one
of
them
vpon
the
East
,
and
the
other
vpon
the
West
side
thereof
,
here
they
made
choice
of
an
I
le
that
is
within
the
middle
of
the
same
where
to
winter
,
building
houses
sufficient
to
lodge
their
number
;
There
,
besides
other
sorts
of
wood
,
they
had
store
of
Cedar
trees
,
and
found
the
ground
very
fertile
as
it
did
proue
afterwards
,
bringing
forth
that
which
they
did
sow
with
an
extraordinary
encrease
,
yet
during
the
Winter
time
when
they
could
not
conueniently
goe
to
the
maine
Land
,
they
found
it
a
very
incommodious
dwelling
,
specially
for
want
of
fresh
Springs
;
And
the
soyle
being
of
it selfe
humid
,
and
obnoxious
to
waters
,
they
had
not
beene
so
industrious
as
to
cast
a
ditch
wherewith
to
drie
the
ground
whereupon
their
houses
stood
,
and
in
end
finding
that
a
little
Ile
was
but
a
kind
of
large
prison
,
they
resolued
to
returne
vnto
Port
Royall
,
whereof
I
will
giue
a
particular
Description
,
because
it
was
the
place
of
their
residence
,
as
I
intend
it
to
be
for
the
chiefe
Colonie
of
the
Scottish
Nation
,
grounding
that
which
I
am
to
deliuer
vpon
such
Discourses
as
the
Frenchmen
haue
written
,
and
vpon
that
which
I
haue
heard
reported
by
sundry
others
who
haue
seene
the
same
.
The
entry
in
Port
Royall
is
from
the
South
side
of
a
great
Bay
,
which
doth
make
the
South
part
of
New
Scotland
almost
an
I
le
,
and
hath
the
passage
at
first
so
narrow
,
with
a
current
so
violent
,
that
Ships
can
hardly
enter
if
they
take
not
the
Tide
right
,
and
may
easily
be
commanded
by
any
Ordnance
that
is
planted
on
either
side
,
where
there
are
parts
fit
for
that
purpose
;
As
soone
as
they
are
within
the
Bay
,
it
doth
enlarge
it selfe
to
the
bredth
of
seuen
or
eight
miles
,
and
doth
continue
so
as
if
it
were
square
for
the
like
bounds
in
length
;
There
are
within
the
same
two
Iles
euery
one
of
them
extending
it selfe
about
three
miles
in
circuit
,
and
both
are
well
garnished
with
trees
,
and
grasse
;
Diuers
Riuers
and
Brookes
doe
fall
within
this
large
bosome
on
euery
side
,
of
which
the
chiefe
is
one
that
doth
come
from
the
South
,
being
discouered
to
be
aboue
fortie
miles
portatiue
,
and
it
hath
all
alongst
on
euery
side
for
the
bounds
of
a
mile
,
or
halfe
a
mile
at
least
,
very
faire
meadowes
which
are
subjest
to
bee
ouerflowed
at
high
tides
,
and
there
is
Land
fit
to
be
laboured
lying
betweene
them
and
the
woods
,
which
doe
compasse
all
about
with
very
faire
trees
of
sundry
sorts
,
as
Oakes
,
Ash
,
Playnes
,
Maple
,
Beech
,
Birch
,
Cypresse
,
Pine
and
Firre
;
The
great
Riuer
doth
abound
exceedingly
in
Salmon
and
Smelts
during
their
season
,
and
euery
little
Brooke
in
Trouts
.
One
Lake
within
this
Bay
hath
yeerely
a
great
quantitie
of
Herrings
,
which
by
reason
of
a
strict
way
which
they
passe
are
easie
to
be
taken
,
and
all
the
yeere
ouer
they
neuer
want
shell-fish
,
such
as
Lobsters
,
Crabs
,
Cockles
and
Mussels
.
The
chiefe
beasts
that
inhabite
the
Woods
there
,
are
Ellans
,
Hart
,
Hind
,
and
fallow
Deere
,
with
store
of
other
wilde
beasts
,
such
as
Wolues
,
Beares
,
Foxes
,
and
Otters
,
but
the
most
vsefull
of
all
is
the
Beauer
,
both
for
his
flesh
that
is
esteemed
to
be
very
delicate
for
eating
,
and
for
the
skinne
that
is
of
good
value
;
as
for
wild
foule
,
there
is
great
varietie
and
store
,
of
Partridges
,
Plouers
,
Woodcockes
,
Larkes
,
Wild
Geese
,
Wild
Duckes
,
Heron
and
Crane
,
with
many
other
sortes
peculiar
to
that
part
of
the
World
,
and
not
knowne
here
.
Vpon
the
East
side
of
this
Port
the
French
did
entrench
themselues
,
building
such
houses
as
might
serue
to
accommodate
their
number
,
and
a
little
from
thence
Monsieur
Champlein
did
cut
a
walke
through
the
Woods
,
where
they
delighted
to
repaire
in
Summer
to
shroud
themselues
from
the
heate
,
and
the
rather
that
they
had
a
sweet
Melodie
which
was
made
by
the
varietie
of
voyces
,
of
singing
Birds
which
without
any
affectation
did
affoord
them
naturall
Musicke
.
Some
sixe
miles
further
vp
that
side
of
the
Riuer
they
built
a
Barne
,
and
laboured
ground
for
Wheat
;
ouer
against
which
they
made
a
Water-mill
vpon
a
Riuer
,
that
doth
fall
in
on
the
West
side
,
the
Damme
of
it
beeing
there
where
the
Herrings
haunt
most
,
and
they
did
likewise
try
some
ground
neere
by
for
Wheate
,
whereas
their
owne
Writers
make
mention
,
they
reaped
aboue
fortie
for
one
,
but
what
they
did
was
rather
trying
the
nature
of
the
soile
to
satisfie
their
curiositie
then
to
haue
a
quantitie
fit
for
their
maintenance
,
which
they
trusted
to
bee
sent
vnto
them
by
two
Merchants
from
the
Rochell
,
and
were
that
way
well
furnished
so
long
as
they
keeped
their
skinnes
to
giue
them
in
exchange
(
but
the
Merchants
either
by
some
priuate
conueyances
)
or
by
the
comming
in
of
some
Flemmings
to
traffique
,
being
disappointed
by
the
Planters
as
soone
as
they
missed
their
present
Commoditie
did
likewise
frustrate
them
of
the
prouisions
that
they
expected
.
Whereupon
Monsieur
de
Montes
betaking
himselfe
to
trade
for
Furres
.
Monsieur
Poutrincourt
resolued
to
prosecute
the
Plantation
it
that
place
,
and
sent
for
his
Son
Biencourt
to
France
,
to
bargaine
with
some
that
would
send
them
a
supply
,
such
at
was
requisite
for
establishing
of
that
Colony
.
The
first
that
embraced
hit
Propositions
were
the
Iesuites
who
as
they
haue
ordinatly
good
wits
which
made
them
the
rather
capable
of
so
aduantagious
a
proiect
,
so
they
were
the
more
animated
thereunto
(
by
vpbrayding
the
lazinesse
of
our
Clergie
)
to
shew
with
what
feruencie
they
trauell
to
propagate
the
Gospell
in
doing
whereof
(
whither
it
be
ambition
or
deuotion
that
prouokes
them
sparing
no
paines
)
they
haue
trauelled
both
to
the
East
and
West
Indies
,
and
to
that
admired
Kingdome
of
China
;
their
Societie
in
France
preuayling
with
all
that
had
any
inclination
either
to
religion
,
or
to
vertue
did
easily
gather
a
voluntary
contribution
for
the
furthering
of
so
commendable
a
purpose
,
thereafter
they
sent
away
two
Fathers
of
their
company
with
a
new
supply
of
all
things
necessarie
to
the
Plantation
at
Port
Royall
,
but
shortly
after
their
arriuall
(
their
predominant
disposition
hardly
yeelding
to
any
Superiour
,
specially
if
it
be
a
Secular
power
)
they
be-beganne
to
contradict
Poutrincourt
,
in
the
execution
of
these
Decrees
which
had
beene
giuen
forth
by
him
as
Ciuil
Magistrate
of
that
place
.
Whereupon
the
Gentleman
extreamely
discontented
,
and
wearie
of
contesting
with
them
,
hauing
said
that
it
was
his
part
to
rule
them
vpon
earth
,
and
theirs
onely
to
guide
him
the
way
to
Heauen
,
he
returned
backe
to
France
,
leauing
his
Sonne
Biencourt
in
his
place
,
who
being
a
youth
at
that
time
of
more
courage
then
circumspectnesse
,
disdayning
to
be
controlled
by
them
whom
he
had
inuited
thither
,
and
scorning
their
insupportable
presumption
,
and
imperious
kinde
of
carriage
,
vsing
Spirituall
Armes
for
Temporall
ends
,
whose
spleene
had
excommunicated
and
branded
him
with
a
Spirituall
censure
,
hee
threatned
them
by
his
Temporall
power
with
a
more
palpable
punishment
,
so
that
after
much
controuersie
,
resoluing
to
separate
themselues
,
the
two
Iesuites
taking
a
part
of
the
company
with
them
,
went
from
thence
to
a
place
in
New
England
,
called
by
them
Mount
Desert
,
where
they
seated
themselues
,
and
hauing
a
supply
from
the
Queene
Mother
,
did
plant
sundry
fruit
trees
of
the
most
delicate
kinds
in
France
,
such
as
Apricockes
and
Peaches
neuer
intending
to
remoue
from
thence
.
At
this
time
Sir
Samuell
Argall
,
who
hath
beene
Gouernour
of
Virginia
,
coasting
alongst
New
England
,
to

,
or
to
acquire
things
necessary
for
the
Southerne
Colonie

these
parts
,
where
the
Lands
are
reputed
to
be
more
fertile
,
and
the
Seas
more
frequented
,
did
conceiue
by
a
description
made
vnto
him
by
the
Sauages
,
that
there
were
some
come
from
this
part
of
the
World
to
inhabit
there
,
and
being
iealous
of
any
thing
that
might
derogate
from
the
honour
,
or
prooue
preiudiciall
to
the
benefit
of
his
Nation
,
whereof
their
interest
in
this
was
easie
to
be
apprehended
,
hee
went
whereas
hee
was
informed
that
they
were
,
and
his
vnexpected
arriuall
,
as
it
would
seeme
,
not
onely
amazing
the
mindes
of
the
French
,
but
likewise
preuenting
their
preparation
,
and
resolution
,
he
approched
to
neere
to
a
ship
that
lay
before
their
Fort
,
that
hee
beate
them
all
that
were
within
,
with
Musket
shot
,
from
making
any
vse
of
their
Ordnance
,
and
killed
one
of
the
two
Iesuites
,
who
was
giuing
fire
to
a
Peece
;
hauing
taken
the
ship
he
landed
and
went
before
the
Fort
,
summoning
them
that
were
within
to
yeeld
themselues
,
who
at
the
first
made
some
difficultie
,
asking
a
time
to
aduise
,
but
that
being
refused
,
they
priuately
abandoned
the
Fort
,
stealing
out
by
some
back
way
into
the
Woods
,
where
they
stayed
one
night
,
and
the
next
day
comming
backe
rendred
themselues
,
giuing
vp
the
Patent
they
had
from
the
French
King
to
bee
cancelled
,
hee
vsed
them
courteously
,
as
their
owne
Writers
doe
make
mention
,
suffering
such
as
had
a
minde
to
goe
for
France
,
to
seeke
out
fi●hers
ships
wherein
they
might
bee
transported
,
the
rest
that
were
willing
to
goe
for
Virginia
,
went
thither
alongst
with
him
,
no
man
hauing
lost
his
life
,
but
onely
that
one
Iesuite
who
was
killed
whilest
they
made
resistance
during
the
time
of
the
conflict
,
thereafter
Father
Biard
the
other
of
the
Iesuites
comming
backe
from
Virginia
,
with
Sir
Samuell
Argall
,
out
of
the
indigestable
malice
that
he
had
conceiued
against
Biencourt
,
did
informe
him
where
he
had
planted
himselfe
offering
(
as
hee
did
)
to
conduct
him
thither
.
As
soone
as
they
were
entred
within
the
Port
,
neere
the
vppermost
of
the
Ilands
,
Sir
Samuell
directing
the
ship
to
ride
at
a
reasonable
distance
to
attend
occasions
before
the
Fort
,
did
land
himselfe
with
fortie
of
the
best
of
his
men
vpon
a
Medow
,
where
immediatly
they
heard
a
Peece
of
Ordnance
from
the
Fort
,
and
he
conceiuing
since
it
was
shot
whilst
it
could
do
no
harme
that
it
was
done
either
but
to
giue
terrour
to
them
,
or
to
warne
some
that
might
happen
to
bee
abroad
,
Did
make
the
greater
haste
towardes
the
Fort
,
where
hee
presently
entred
,
finding
it
abandoned
without
any
men
at
all
,
left
for
the
defence
thereof
,
hee
went
vp
the
Riuer
side
fiue
or
sixe
miles
,
where
hee
saw
their
Barnes
and
the
ground
where
a
great
quantitie
of
Wheate
had
growne
,
which
he
carried
with
him
to
serue
for
Seed
in
Virginia
,
he
saw
likewise
their
Corne
Mill
very
conueniently
placed
,
which
together
with
the
Barnes
hee
left
standing
vntouched
.
As
for
the
Fort
it selfe
he
destroyed
it
downe
to
the
ground
,
razing
the
French
Armes
,
and
leauing
no
monument
remayning
,
that
might
wi●nesse
their
being
there
.
After
this
Biencourt
who
had
beene
some
where
abroad
trauelling
through
the
Countrey
,
comming
home
desired
to
conferre
with
Sir
Samuell
Argall
,
who
did
meete
with
him
apart
from
the
Company
vpon
a
Medow
,
and
after
they
had
expostulated
a
space
for
what
had
past
controuerting
concerning
the
French
and
English
Title
to
these
bounds
,
at
last
Biencourt
offered
(
if
hee
might
haue
a
protection
)
to
depend
vpon
our
King
,
and
to
draw
the
whole
Furres
of
that
Countrey
to
one
Port
,
where
he
would
diuide
them
with
him
,
As
likewise
he
would
shew
him
good
Metalls
,
whereof
hee
gaue
him
pieces
,
but
the
other
refused
to
ioyne
in
any
societie
with
him
,
protesting
that
his
Commission
was
onely
to
displant
him
,
and
that
if
hee
found
him
there
,
after
that
time
hee
would
vse
him
as
an
enemy
.
Biencourt
labouring
earnestly
to
haue
had
the
Iesuit
(
as
he
confessed
)
with
a
purpose
to
hang
him
.
Whilst
they
were
discoursing
together
,
one
of
the
Sauages
came
suddenly
forth
from
the
Woods
,
and
licentiated
to
come
neere
,
did
after
his
manner
earnestly
mediate
a
peace
,
wondring
why
they
that
seemed
to
bee
of
one
Countrey
should
vse
others
with
such
hostilitie
,
and
that
with
such
a
forme
of
habit
and
gesture
as
made
them
both
to
laugh
.
After
this
Biencourt
remocuing
from
thence
to
some
other
part
,
Monsieur
Champlein
who
had
liued
long
here
,
did
carrie
a
company
with
him
from
France
,
of
some
fortie
persons
or
thereabouts
vp
the
Riuer
of
Canada
,
whom
hee
planted
on
the
North
side
thereof
,
with
a
purpose
to
serue
for
a
Factorie
,
drawing
all
the
Trade
of
that
farre
running
Riuer
(
which
a
Plantation
would
haue
dispersed
in
many
parts
)
within
the
hands
of
a
few
whom
he
doth
command
otherwise
if
his
desires
had
beene
bended
that
way
,
hee
might
haue
planted
many
people
there
ere
now
,
the
place
is
called
Kebeck
,
where
the
French
doe
prosper
well
,
hauing
Corne
by
their
owne
labour
,
which
may
furnish
themselues
for
food
,
and
likewise
for
a
stocke
to
traffique
with
the
Sauages
,
with
sundry
Fruits
,
Roots
,
Vine
,
Grapes
and
Turkie
Wheate
.
Champlein
hath
discouered
the
Riuer
of
Canada
,
from
the
Gulfe
vpwards
aboue
twelue
hundred
miles
,
finding
in
it
sometimes
such
falles
,
as
to
scape
the
same
,
he
must
carrie
his
Boate
a
little
way
by
Land
,
and
then
hee
did
many
times
come
to
great
Lakes
at
the
end
whereof
hee
did
alwayes
find
a
Riuer
againe
,
and
the
last
Lake
where
hee
came
was
a
very
huge
one
,
iudged
to
bee
three
hundred
miles
in
length
,
by
the
report
of
some
Sauages
,
who
did
affirme
vnto
him
,
that
at
the
further
end
thereof
they
did
find
Salt-water
,
and
that
they
had
seene
great
Vessels
which
made
Champlein
beleeue
that
a
passage
might
be
there
to
the
Bay
of
California
,
or
to
some
part
of
the
South
Sea
,
which
would
prooue
an
inestimable
benefit
for
the
Inhabitants
of
those
parts
,
opening
a
neere
way
to
China
,
which
hath
beene
so
many
sundry
wayes
with
so
great
charges
so
long
sought
for
,
howsoeuer
in
regard
of
the
season
,
and
for
want
of
necessary
prouisions
,
Champlein
did
returne
backe
at
that
time
with
a
purpose
to
goe
againe
another
yeere
,
which
if
he
hath
done
is
not
yet
knowne
,
but
this
is
most
certaine
,
that
the
Riuer
of
Canada
hath
a
long
course
and
through
many
goodly
Countreyes
,
some
of
these
great
Lakes
by
sending
forth
,
or
by
receiuing
great
Riuers
,
do
affoord
meanes
of
commerce
as
farre
as
to
some
parts
of
Terra
Florida
,
as
may
bee
gathered
by
Champleins
Discouerie
.
And
now
hauing
giuen
a
breuiarie
of
all
that
is
done
by
the
French
in
America
,
I
will
next
report
of
that
which
hath
beene
done
by
some
others
.
I
will
not
here
make
mention
of
the
many
and
braue
Voyages
that
at
the
Sea
haue
happily
beene
performed
by
the
English
,
which
fame
by
eternall
records
hath
recommended
to
be
applauded
by
the
best
judgements
of
euery
age
,
but
I
will
only
shortly
touch
that
which
they
haue
attempted
by
way
of
Plantation
,
beginning
with
the
Newfound
Land
which
was
first
discouered
,
and
doth
lie
neerest
to
this
Countrey
.
Sir
Humfrey
Gilbert
hauing
a
Commission
from
Queene
Elizabeth
did
take
possession
of
it
in
her
name
at
Saint
Iohns
Harbour
,
and
thereafter
purposed
to
haue
seene
Canada
,
but
encountring
with
some
vnexpected
crosses
as
hee
was
returning
from
thence
,
seeking
to
condemne
an
opinion
(
malice
or
enuie
ordinarily
taxing
all
aspiring
spirits
whose
vertue
by
way
of
reflection
doth
vpbraide
the
basenesse
of
others
)
that
had
beene
conceiued
of
him
as
wanting
courage
,
he
precipitated
himselfe
vpon
an
other
extremitie
,
not
to
seeme
fearefull
,
prouing
desperate
;
for
in
the
time
of
a
storme
,
out
of
a
needlesse
brauerie
,
to
shew
a
contempt
of
danger
,
being
in
a
little
small
Pinnace
,
and
refusing
to
come
to
his
best
Shippe
that
was
of
a
large
burden
,
hee
was
suddenly
swallowed
vp
by
the
waues
neere
to
the
I
le
of
Sablon
,
and
his
death
did
ouerthrowe
great
hopes
of
a
Plantation
that
by
the
generousnesse
of
his
minde
might
justly
haue
beene
expected
from
him
;
but
long
before
his
time
and
euer
since
the
English
had
vsed
to
fish
vpon
the
Banke
,
and
within
the
Bayes
of
Newfound
Land
,
and
the
sweetnesse
of
the
benefit
arrising
from
thence
,
did
perswade
a
companie
composed
of
Londoners
and
West-country
men
co
joyne
together
for
sending
some
to
inhabite
there
,
where
before
howsoeuer
the
Summer
was
large
as
hote
as
here
,
the
Winter
was
thought
vnsufferable
.
The
first
houses
for
a
habitation
were
built
in
Cupids
Coue
within
the
Bay
of
Conception
,
where
people
did
dwell
for
sundry
yeeres
together
,
and
some
well
satisfied
both
for
pleasure
,
and
profit
,
are
dwelling
there
still
,
finding
small
difference
betweene
the
seasons
of
the
yeere
in
that
Climate
,
and
here
.
There
is
another
Plantation
begunne
at
Harbour
à
Grace
within
the
same
Bay
by
the
Citie
of
Bristoll
,
called
Bristols
Hope
,
whereas
by
the
sowing
and
reaping
of
some
Cornes
of
sundry
sorts
doth
appeare
what
further
may
possibly
be
expected
;
And
within
these
three
yeeres
Master
Secretary
Caluert
hath
planted
a
companie
at
Ferriland
,
who
both
for
building
and
making
triall
of
the
ground
haue
done
more
then
euer
was
performed
before
by
any
in
so
short
a
time
,
hauing
already
there
a
brood
of
Horses
,
Kowes
,
and
other
beasti●l
,
and
by
the
industry
of
his
people
he
is
beginning
to
draw
back
yearly
some
benefit
from
thence
already
:
which
course
howsoeuer
at
first
it
proue
good
,
or
bad
for
his
particular
,
is
by
example
beneficiall
for
the
publike
.
Last
,
I
heare
that
my
Lord
Vicount
Falkland
now
Lord
Deputie
of
Ireland
,
hath
this
last
yeere
sent
a
companie
to
inhabite
at
Reno●ze
a
place
lying
South-west
from
Ferriland
,
where
the
soyle
is
esteemed
to
be
the
best
whereupon
any
hath
setled
there
as
yet
,
and
hee
hath
the
shortest
way
,
and
best
opportunitie
of
any
within
his
Majesties
Dominions
for
transporting
of
people
and
cattell
to
that
part
from
Ireland
,
which
if
his
course
bee
rightly
directed
,
as
all
haue
reason
to
wish
,
may
promise
him
a
good
successe
.
The
first
Patencees
for
Newfound-land
haue
giuen
mee
a
grant
of
that
part
thereof
which
doth
lie
North-west
from
the
Bay
of
Placentia
to
the
great
Gulfe
of
Canada
ouer-against
New
Scotland
,
where
I
had
made
a
Plantation
ere
now
,
if
I
had
not
beene
diuerred
by
my
designes
for
New
Scotland
,
but
I
purpose
to
doe
it
as
soone
as
conueniently
I
may
.
The
most
part
of
the
bounds
whereupon
any
hath
planted
as
yet
in
Newfound
Land
is
found
to
be
rockie
and
not
fit
to
be
manured
:
it
may
be
these
that
made
choice
thereof
(
neglecting
the
Land
)
had
onely
a
regard
to
dwell
commodiously
for
making
vse
of
the
Sea
,
the
present
profits
whereof
doth
recompence
the
losse
of
that
which
might
be
expected
by
the
other
,
but
there
can
be
no
hope
of
any
constant
dwelling
where
the
people
that
inhabite
doe
not
take
a
course
to
maintaine
themselues
by
their
owne
Cornes
,
and
pasture
,
as
all
there
might
doe
,
if
they
would
respect
their
posteritie
more
then
the
present
time
.
Before
I
come
to
the
Continent
I
must
remember
the
Iles
of
the
Bermudas
,
whose
Discouerie
and
Plantation
was
procured
by
so
strange
a
meanes
,
for
a
Ship
happening
to
perish
vpon
their
Coast
,
her
passingers
seeking
the
next
Land
for
a
refuge
,
they
were
compelled
to
doe
that
out
of
necessitie
whereunto
in
good
reason
,
both
for
honour
and
profit
,
they
might
more
warrantably
haue
beene
inuited
;
Thus
doth
benefit
flowe
from
losse
,
safety
from
ruine
,
and
the
Plantation
of
a
Land
from
the
desolation
of
a
Shippe
:
they
found
at
the
first
store
of
Hogs
,
which
in
all
appearance
had
their
beginning
from
some
such
an
accident
as
theirs
was
,
and
the
Fowles
were
there
in
abundance
so
easie
to
be
taken
that
they
could
scarcely
be
frighted
away
,
these
first
people
by
repairing
of
their
Ship
which
was
cast
away
vpon
the
Land
,
or
by
building
some
other
Vessell
out
of
her
ruines
,
comming
backe
to
England
,
and
reporting
what
was
past
,
some
joyned
together
in
a
companie
after
they
had
taken
a
Patent
thereof
from
the
King
,
and
did
send
people
of
purpose
to
inhabite
there
,
who
trusting
too
much
to
the
goodnesse
the
soyle
,
and
neglecting
their
owne
industrie
,
or
not
gouerning
that
well
which
was
carried
with
them
,
were
reduced
to
a
great
distresse
for
want
of
victuals
,
so
that
,
if
they
had
not
beene
confined
within
an
Iland
(
more
sensible
of
a
present
suffering
then
capable
of
future
hopes
)
they
would
willingly
haue
retired
from
thence
,
but
a
great
quantitie
of
Ambergreece
hauing
been
found
by
one
by
chance
,
and
sent
backe
in
a
Ship
that
was
going
for
London
,
their
Merchants
finding
it
to
bee
of
a
great
value
,
were
so
encouraged
by
such
a
substantiall
argument
,
that
they
presently
dispatched
away
a
new
supply
of
persons
and
all
prouisions
necessary
,
who
arriuing
there
,
and
hauing
considered
what
a
gulfe
of
famine
was
likely
to
haue
swallowed
their
fellowes
,
they
improuing
their
judgement
by
the
others
experience
,
by
betaking
themselues
to
labour
in
time
did
preuent
the
like
inconue
.
nience
;
there
is
no
Land
where
men
can
liue
without
labour
,
nor
none
so
barren
whence
industrie
cannot
draw
some
benefit
,
All
Adams
posteritie
were
appointed
to
worke
for
their
food
,
and
none
must
dreame
of
an
absolute
ease
,
which
can
no
where
subsist
positiuely
,
but
onely
comparatiuely
,
according
to
the
occasions
more
or
lesse
.
This
Plantation
of
the
Bermudas
,
a
place
not
knowne
when
the
King
came
to
England
,
hath
prospered
so
in
a
short
time
,
that
at
this
present
,
besides
their
ordinary
(
and
too
extraordinarily
valued
)
commoditie
of
Tobacco
,
they
haue
growing
there
Oranges
,
Figs
,
and
all
kind
of
fruits
that
they
please
to
plant
,
and
doe
now
intend
to
haue
a
Sugar
worke
.
These
Iles
being
about
twentie
miles
in
bredth
can
onely
be
entred
into
but
by
one
passage
,
which
is
fortified
and
easily
commanded
by
Ordnance
,
so
that
,
hauing
no
Sauages
within
,
and
fearing
no
forces
without
,
it
is
esteemed
to
be
impregnable
;
and
the
number
of
the
Inhabitants
there
,
being
neere
three
thousand
persons
,
are
sufficient
for
the
ground
that
they
possesse
,
This
part
may
proue
exceedingly
steadable
to
this
State
,
if
euer
it
happen
to
haue
(
as
it
hath
heretofore
had
)
any
designes
for
seruice
in
these
Seas
.
The
first
Plantation
that
euer
the
English
intended
abroad
was
in
Virginia
,
which
was
first
discouered
and
named
so
by
Sir
Walter
Raleigh
,
who
in
the
time
of
Queene
Elizabeth
did
place
some
persons
to
inhabite
there
,
who
not
being
supplied
in
time
,
or
out
of
ignorance
,
or
lazinesse
,
not
vsing
the
ordinary
means
(
the
vsual
fault
of
all
beginners
)
were
brought
by
famine
to
a
great
extremity
.
And
Sir
Francis
Drakes
comming
by
chance
that
way
did
transport
them
backe
with
him
to
England
,
whilest
at
the
same
time
there
was
another
companie
furnished
forth
by
Sir
Walter
Raleigh
,
who
missing
them
whom
they
expected
to
haue
found
there
,
did
remaine
still
themselues
;
but
what
did
become
of
them
,
if
they
did
remoue
to
some
other
part
,
perish
,
disperse
or
incorporate
with
the
Sauages
(
no
monument
of
them
remayning
)
is
altogether
vnknowne
;
This
noble
worke
hauing
so
hard
a
beginning
after
a
long
discontinuance
was
reuiued
againe
in
the
Kings
time
by
a
companie
composed
of
Noblemen
,
Gentlemen
,
and
Merchants
,
who
(
joyning
priuate
purses
with
publike
supplies
)
did
send
thither
a
sufficient
Colonie
,
well
furnished
with
all
things
necessary
,
who
after
their
first
comming
had
a
continuall
warre
with
the
Natiues
,
till
it
was
reconciled
by
a
Marriage
of
their
Kings
sister
with
one
of
the
Colonie
,
who
hauing
come
to
England
,
as
shee
was
returning
backe
,
died
,
and
was
buried
at
Grauesend
.
Thus
euen
amongst
these
Sauages
(
libertie
being
valued
aboue
life
)
as
they
were
induced
to
contest
in
time
,
before
that
power
which
they
suspected
,
could
come
to
such
a
height
,
that
it
might
haue
a
possibilitie
of
depressing
them
,
so
was
their
malice
with
their
feares
,
quickly
calmed
by
the
meanes
of
a
marriage
;
Lawfull
allyances
thus
by
admitting
equalitie
remoue
contempt
,
and
giue
a
promiscuous
off-spring
extinguishing
the
distinction
of
persons
,
which
if
that
People
become
Christians
,
were
in
some
sort
tolerable
,
for
it
is
the
onely
course
that
vniting
minds
,
free
from
jealousies
,
can
first
make
strangers
confide
in
a
new
friendship
,
which
by
communicating
their
bloud
with
mutuall
assurance
is
left
hereditary
to
their
posteritie
.
This
longed
for
peace
,
though
it
bred
a
great
contentment
for
the
time
,
was
attended
by
wrapping
them
that
apprehended
no
further
danger
(
too
common
an
inconuenient
)
vp
in
the
lazie
remissenesse
of
improuident
s●curitie
.
For
a
number
leauing
the
seate
of
the
mayne
Colonie
,
did
disperse
themselues
to
liue
apart
,
as
if
they
had
bin
into
a
well
inhabited
Countrey
,
which
(
as
perchance
)
it
had
emboldened
the
Sauages
to
imbrace
the
first
occasion
of
a
q●arrell
,
so
did
it
giue
them
an
easie
way
for
executing
the
mischiefe
that
they
intended
,
by
killing
two
or
three
hundred
persons
before
they
could
aduertize
one
another
,
farre
lesse
,
ioyne
to
oppose
them
in
a
company
together
,
which
course
might
not
onely
then
haue
made
them
able
to
resist
,
but
preuenting
the
other●
resolution
had
kept
them
from
being
pursued
:
yet
I
heare
of
late
,
that
they
haue
reuenged
this
iniury
(
though
(
as
some
report
)
not
after
a
commendable
manner
)
by
killing
their
King
,
with
a
great
number
of
the
chiefe
of
them
whom
they
suspected
most
.
This
Plantation
of
Virginia
,
if
it
had
not
beene
crossed
by
the
Incursion
of
the
Sauages
abroad
,
and
by
the
diuision
of
their
Owners
at
home
,
had
attayned
to
a
great
perfection
ere
now
,
hauing
had
Inhabitants
from
hence
to
the
number
of
neere
three
thousand
persons
,
and
if
some
o●
them
who
are
there
,
being
Lords
of
reasonable
proportions
of
ground
,
and
hauing
people
of
their
owne
,
owing
nothing
but
due
obedience
to
a
Superiour
Power
,
and
the
leading
of
a
life
conforme
to
the
Lawes
,
had
no
care
but
(
making
their
Lands
to
maintayne
themselues
)
how
to
build
,
plant
,
and
plenish
in
such
sort
as
might
best
establish
a
fortune
for
their
Posteritie
,
they
might
quickly
make
vp
a
new
Nation
,
but
it
is
a
great
discouragement
vnto
them
who
dwell
there
,
that
they
must
labour
like
the
Seruants
of
a
Family
,
purchasing
their
food
and
rayment
from
England
,
in
exchange
of
Tobacco
,
as
they
are
directed
by
their
Masters
,
many
whereof
are
strangers
to
the
estate
of
that
bounds
,
and
intending
to
settle
none
of
their
Race
there
,
haue
no
care
but
how
the
best
benefit
may
presently
bee
drawne
backe
from
thence
,
the
number
of
voyces
at
their
assemblies
preuayling
more
then
the
soundnesse
of
iudgement
,
otherwise
that
Countrey
before
this
time
for
Wine
,
Oyle
,
Wheate
,
and
other
things
necessary
for
the
life
of
man
might
haue
equalled
for
the
like
quantitie
any
bounds
within
Europe
,
to
which
the
soile
of
it selfe
lacking
nothing
but
the
like
industry
is
no
way
inferiour
.
And
it
is
to
be
exceedingly
wished
by
all
his
Maiesties
subiects
that
the
Plantation
of
Virginia
may
prosper
well
,
which
lying
neerest
to
the
part
from
whence
danger
might
come
,
may
proue
a
Bulwarke
for
the
safetie
of
all
the
rest
.
That
which
is
now
called
New
England
was
first
comprehended
within
the
Patent
of
Virginia
,
being
the
Northeast
part
thereof
,
it
was
vndertaken
in
a
Patent
by
a
company
of
Gentlemen
in
the
West
of
England
,
one
of
whom
was
Sir
Iohn
Popham
then
Lord
Chiefe
Iustice
,
who
sent
the
first
company
that
went
of
purpose
to
inhabit
there
neer
to
Segadahock
,
but
those
that
went
thither
,
being
pressed
to
that
enterprize
,
as
endangered
by
the
Law
,
or
by
their
owne
necessities
(
no
enforced
thing
prouing
pleasant
,
discontented
persons
suffering
,
while
as
they
act
can
seldome
haue
good
successe
,
and
neuer
satisfaction
)
they
after
〈◊〉
Winter
stay
dreaming
to
themselues
of
new
hopes
at
home
returned
backe
with
the
first
occasion
,
and
to
iustifie
the
suddennesse
of
their
returne
,
they
did
coyne
many
excuses
,
burdening
the
bounds
where
they
had
beene
with
all
the
aspersions
that
possibly
they
could
deuise
,
seeking
by
that
meanes
to
discourage
all
others
,
whose
prouident
forwardnes
importuning
a
good
successe
,
might
make
their
base
sluggishnesse
for
abandoning
the
beginning
of
a
good
worke
,
to
be
the
more
condemned
.
About
a
foure
yeeres
since
,
a
shippe
going
for
Virginia
,
comming
by
chance
to
harbour
in
the
South-west
part
of
New
England
,
neere
Cape
Cod
,
the
company
whom
shee
carried
for
Plantation
,
being
weary
of
the
Sea
,
and
enamored
with
the
beautie
of
the
bounds
that
first
offered
it selfe
vnto
them
gorgeously
garnished
with
all
wherewith
pregnant
nature
rauishing
the
sight
with
variety
)
can
grace
a
fertile
field
,
did
resolue
to
stay
,
and
seated
themselues
in
that
place
which
is
now
called
New
Plimmouth
,
where
they
haue
builded
good
houses
,
and
by
their
owne
indust●y
haue
prouided
themselues
in
such
fort
as
they
are
likely
to
subsist
,
keeping
a
good
correspondencie
with
the
Captaines
of
the
Sauages
,
who
haue
done
nothing
hitherto
that
might
offend
them
(
and
after
this
)
though
they
would
dare
attempt
nothing
to
their
preiudice
,
who
are
now
aboue
two
hundred
persons
,
and
doe
increase
their
number
yeerely
.
They
find
both
the
Land
and
the
Seas
there
abounding
in
all
things
needfull
for
the
vse
of
man
,
and
doe
gouerne
themselues
after
a
very
ciuill
and
prouident
manner
.
Sir
Ferdinando
Gorge
hath
beene
a
chiefe
man
for
the
furtherance
of
all
things
that
might
tend
to
the
aduancement
of
New
England
,
hauing
beene
at
great
charges
these
many
yeeres
past
for
the
Discouerie
thereof
,
in
doing
which
(
a
good
intention
bent
for
other
ends
,
casually
bringing
forth
this
effect
)
the
fishing
there
(
not
sought
for
)
was
found
,
which
doth
prooue
now
so
profitable
,
as
fortie
or
fiftie
Sayle
are
imployed
there
from
England
yeerely
,
and
all
that
haue
gone
thither
,
haue
made
aduantagious
Voyages
.
This
last
yeere
,
hee
sent
his
Sonne
Captaine
Robert
Gorge
with
a
Colonie
to
be
planted
in
Messasuats
bonds
,
and
as
I
heare
out
of
a
generous
desire
by
his
example
to
encourage
others
for
the
aduancement
of
so
brau●
an
Enterprize
he
is
resolued
shortly
to
goe
himselfe
in
person
,
and
to
carrie
with
him
a
great
number
well
fitted
for
such
a
purpose
,
and
many
Noblemen
in
England
,
(
whose
names
and
proportions
as
they
were
marshalled
by
lot
,
may
appeare
vpon
the
Map
)
hauing
interressed
themselues
in
that
bounds
,
are
to
send
s●uerall
Colonies
,
who
may
quickly
make
this
to
exceed
all
the
other
Plantations
.
Hauing
sundry
times
exactly
weighed
that
which
I
haue
alreadie
deliuered
,
and
beeing
so
exceedingly
enflamed
to
doe
some
good
in
that
kinde
,
that
I
would
rather
bewray
the
weaknesse
of
my
power
,
then
conceal●
the
gr●●tnesse
of
my
desire
,
being
much
●ncouraged
hereunto
by
Sir
Ferdinando
Gorge
,
and
some
others
of
the
vndertakers
for
New
England
,
I
shew
them
that
my
Countrimen
would
neuer
aduenture
in
such
an
Enterprize
,
vnlesse
it
were
as
there
was
a
New
France
,
a
New
Spaine
,
and
a
New
England
,
that
they
might
likewise
haue
a
New
Scotland
,
and
that
for
that
effect
they
might
haue
bounds
with
a
correspondencie
in
proportion
(
as
other●
had
)
with
the
Countrey
whereof
it
should
beare
the
name
,
which
they
might
hold
of
their
owne
Crowne
,
and
where
they
might
bee
gouerned
by
their
owne
Lawes
;
they
wisely
considering
that
either
Virginia
,
or
New
England
,
hath
more
bounds
then
all
his
Maiesties
subiects
are
able
to
plant
,
and
that
this
purpose
of
mine
,
by
breeding
a
vertuous
emulation
amongst
vs
,
would
tend
much
to
the
aduancement
of
so
braue
a
worke
,
did
yeeld
to
my
desire
,
designing
the
bounds
for
mee
in
that
part
,
which
had
beene
questioned
by
the
French
,
and
leauing
the
limits
thereof
to
bet
appointed
by
his
Maiesties
pleasure
,
which
are
expressed
in
the
Patent
granted
vnto
me
,
vnder
his
great
Seale
of
his
Kingdom
of
Scotland
,
marching
vpon
the
West
towardes
the
Riuer
of
Saint
Croix
now
Tweed
(
where
the
Frenchmen
did
designe
their
first
Habitation
)
with
New
England
,
and
on
all
other
parts
it
is
compassed
by
the
great
Ocean
,
and
the
great
Riuer
of
Canada
,
so
that
though
sundry
other
preceding
Patentes
are
imaginarily
limited
by
the
degrees
of
the
Heauen
,
I
thinke
that
mine
be
the
first
National
Patent
that
euer
was
cleerly
bounded
within
America
by
particular
limits
vpon
the
Earth
.
As
soone
as
my
Patent
was
passed
,
resoluing
to
take
possession
of
the
Lands
,
that
were
granted
vnto
me
,
I
prouided
my selfe
of
a
ship
at
London
,
in
the
moneth
of
March
,
in
Anno
1622.
but
that
the
businesse
might
beginne
from
that
Kingdome
,
which
it
doth
concerne
,
whereby
some
of
my
Countrimen
might
be
perswaded
to
goe
,
and
others
by
conceiuing
a
good
opinion
thereof
,
to
depend
by
expectation
vpon
the
reports
of
such
of
their
acquaintance
,
〈◊〉
were
to
aduenture
in
that
Voyage
,
I
directed
her
to
go
about
by
S.
G●●rges
Channell
,
to
Kirkcubright
,
where
she
arriued
in
the
end
of
May
;
Some
Gentlemen
of
that
country
,
vpon
whose
friendship
I
reposed
most
,
happening
at
that
time
to
bee
out
of
the
Kingdome
,
I
encountred
with
sundry
vnexpected
difficulties
:
the
prizes
of
victuals
beeing
within
the
space
of
three
monethes
,
since
I
had
parted
before
from
Scotland
,
suddenly
tripled
,
and
yet
so
scarce
as
I
could
hardly
in
haste
bee
well
furnished
,
yet
since
I
was
so
far
aduanced
,
lest
I
should
loose
that
which
was
done
,
if
I
did
not
the
rest
.
I
vsed
the
best
diligence
I
could
to
prouide
the
shippe
with
all
things
necessary
.
Then
the
very
people
specially
Artizens
,
of
whom
I
stood
in
need
,
were
at
first
loth
to
imbarke
for
so
remote
a
part
,
as
they
imagined
this
to
bee
,
so●●e
scarce
beleeuing
that
there
could
bee
any
such
bounds
at
all
,
and
no
wonder
,
since
neuer
any
in
that
part
had
euer
trauelled
thither
,
and
all
nouelties
beeing
distrusted
,
or
disualued
,
few
of
good
sort
would
goe
,
and
ordinarie
persons
were
not
capeable
of
s●ch
a
purpose
.
At
last
,
in
the
end
of
Iune
,
they
parted
from
thence
to
the
I
le
of
Man
,
and
after
some
stay
there
,
in
the
beginning
of
August
,
leauing
the
sight
of
his
Maiesties
Dominions
,
did
betake
themselues
to
the
Sea
.
Though
by
reason
of
the
latenesse
of
their
setting
forth
,
they
had
the
winder
very
contrary
about
the
middest
of
September
,
they
discouered
Saint
Peters
Ilands
,
and
were
neere
to
Cape
Bretton
,
but
yet
were
beaten
backe
againe
by
a
great
storme
to
New-found-land
.
And
as
they
passed
by
the
Bay
of
Placentia
▪
neglecting
the
occasion
to
place
themselues
in
some
part
of
my
bounds
,
there
as
they
might
haue
done
,
they
went
into
Saint
Iobus
Harbour
,
where
they
concluded
to
stay
that
Winter
,
and
sent
the
ship
home
for
a
new
supply
of
such
things
as
were
needfull
.
Though
it
might
haue
discouraged
mee
much
,
that
they
had
retired
to
New-found-land
,
foreseeing
that
what
they
had
with
them
might
be
wasted
,
and
that
it
would
bee
〈◊〉
chargeable
end
difficult
to
furnish
them
forth
from
thence
,
as
if
they
were
to
goe
of
new
from
Scotland
,
yet
rather
then
they
should
bee
in
danger
for
want
of
prouision
,
making
me
any
way
guiltie
of
their
losse
,
that
had
aduentured
their
liues
,
trusting
to
my
care
,
I
fraughted
a
shippe
of
purpose
furnished
with
such
things
as
were
required
in
a
Note
,
which
they
sent
home
with
their
Messenger
.
This
shippe
was
dispatched
by
mee
from
London
in
the
end
of
March
1623.
but
shee
happened
to
stay
so
long
at
Plimmouth
,
first
,
vpon
some
necessary
occasions
,
and
last
by
contrary
winds
,
it
being
the
eight
and
twentieth
of
April
,
before
shee
parted
from
thence
,
hauing
no
good
windes
at
all
,
that
they
arriued
not
at
Saint
Iohns
Harbour
,
till
the
fift
of
Iune
.
At
their
comming
they
found
the
company
not
fit
for
a
Plantion
which
had
first
by
an
vnexpected
cause
been
deuided
in
two
during
the
Winter
,
and
in
May
some
doubting
of
a
supply
,
had
engaged
themselues
to
serue
Fishermen
,
by
which
meanes
they
gained
their
maintenance
,
and
some
meanes
beside
,
so
that
they
could
hardly
be
gathered
together
againe
,
and
their
Minister
and
Smith
(
both
for
Spirituall
and
Temporall
respects
,
the
two
most
necessary
members
)
were
both
dead
,
so
that
seeing
no
hope
to
plant
themselues
in
any
good
fashion
that
yeere
,
ten
of
the
principall
persons
concluded
to
go
alongst
with
the
ship
to
New
Scotland
,
to
discouer
the
Countrey
,
and
to
make
choice
of
a
fit
place
for
a
Habitation
against
the
next
yeere
,
considering
very
well
,
that
they
could
not
doe
so
much
good
by
staying
there
with
so
few
a
number
,
as
they
might
doe
at
their
returne
,
by
reporting
the
truth
to
their
friends
,
of
that
which
they
had
seene
,
whereby
a
new
Colonie
might
be
encouraged
to
set
forth
well
furnished
,
and
instructed
according
to
that
which
might
bee
learned
by
their
experience
.
The
three
and
twentieth
of
Iune
,
they
loosed
from
Saint
Iohns
Harbour
,
and
sayled
towards
New
Scotland
,
where
for
the
space
of
fourteene
dayes
,
they
were
by
fogges
and
contrary
winds
kept
backe
from
spying
Land
till
the
eight
of
Iuly
,
that
they
saw
the
West
part
of
Cape
Bretton
,
and
till
the
thirteenth
day
,
they
sayled
alongst
the
Coast
,
till
they
ranne
the
length
of
Port
de
Mutton
,
where
they
discouered
three
very
pleasant
Harbours
,
and
went
ashore
in
one
of
them
,
which
after
the
shippes
name
,
they
called
Lukes
Bay
,
where
they
found
a
great
way
vp
a
very
pleasant
Riuer
,
being
three
fathom
deep
at
a
low
water
at
the
entry
thereof
,
&
on
euery
side
of
the
same
they
did
see
very
delicate
Medowes
,
hauing
Roses
white
and
red
,
growing
thereon
with
a
kind
of
wilde
Lilly
,
which
had
a
daintie
smel
,
the
next
day
they
resolued
(
coasting
alongst
the
land
)
to
discouer
the
next
Harbour
,
which
was
but
two
leagues
distant
from
the
other
,
where
they
found
a
more
pleasant
Riuer
then
the
first
,
being
foure
fathome
deepe
at
a
low
water
with
Medowes
on
both
sides
thereof
,
hauing
Roses
and
Lillies
growing
thereon
as
the
other
had
,
they
found
within
this
Riuer
,
a
very
fit
place
for
a
Plantation
,
both
in
regard
that
it
was
naturally
apt
to
be
fortified
,
and
that
all
the
ground
betweene
the
two
Riuers
,
was
without
wood
,
and
very
good
fat
Earth
,
hauing
seuerall
sorts
of
beries
growing
thereon
,
as
Goose-beries
,
Straw-beries
,
Hind-beries
,
Rasberies
,
and
a
kind
of
red
Wine
berie
,
as
also
some
sorts
of
graine
,
as
Pease
,
some
Eares
of
Wheate
,
Early
and
Rie
growing
there
wilde
;
the
Pease
grow
in
abundance
alongst
the
Coast
,
very
bigge
and
good
to
eate
,
but
did
taste
of
the
fitch
,
this
Riuer
is
called
Port
Iolly
,
from
whence
they
coasted
alongst
to
Port
Negro
,
beeing
twelue
leagues
distant
,
where
all
the
way
as
they
sayled
alongst
,
they
spied
a
very
pleasant
Countrey
,
hauing
growing
euery
where
such
things
as
were
obserued
in
the
two
Harbours
where
they
had
beene
before
.
They
found
likewise
in
euery
Riuer
abundance
of
Lobsters
,
Cockles
,
and
other
shel-fishes
,
and
also
not
onely
in
the
Riuers
,
but
all
the
Coast
alongst
,
numbers
of
seuerall
sorts
of
Wild-foule
,
as
Wild-goose
,
blacke
Ducke
,
Woodcocke
,
Crane
,
Heron
,
Pidgeon
,
and
many
other
sorts
of
Fowle
which
they
knew
not
.
They
did
kill
as
they
sayled
alongst
the
Coast
●●eat
store
of
Cod
,
with
seuerall
other
sorts
of
great
fishes
.
The
Countrie
is
full
of
Woods
not
very
thicke
,
and
the
most
part
Oake
,
the
rest
are
Firre
,
Spruce
,
Birch
,
with
some
Sicamores
,
and
Ashes
,
and
many
other
sorts
of
Wood
which
they
had
not
seene
before
.
Hauing
discouered
this
part
of
the
Countrie
,
in
regard
of
the
Voyage
their
ship
was
to
make
to
the
Straits
with
fishes
,
they
resolued
to
coast
alongst
from
Lukes
Bay
to
Port
de
Mutton
,
beeing
foure
leagues
to
the
East
thereof
,
where
they
encountred
with
a
Frenchman
,
that
in
a
very
short
time
had
made
a
great
Voyage
,
for
though
he
had
furnished
one
ship
away
with
a
great
number
of
fishes
,
there
were
neere
so
many
readie
as
to
load
himselfe
&
others
.
After
they
had
taken
a
view
of
this
Port
,
which
to
their
iudgement
they
found
no
waies
inferiour
to
the
rest
they
had
seene
before
,
they
resolued
to
retire
backe
to
New-found-land
,
where
their
ship
was
to
receiue
her
loading
of
fishes
.
The
20.
of
Iuly
they
loosed
from
thence
,
and
the
seuen
and
twentieth
thereof
they
arriued
at
Saint
Iohns
Harbour
,
and
from
thence
sailed
alongst
to
the
Bay
of
Conception
▪
where
they
left
the
ship
,
and
dispatched
themselues
home
in
seuerall
ships
that
belonged
to
the
West
part
of
England
.
This
is
no
wonder
,
that
the
French
beeing
so
slieghtly
planted
,
did
take
no
deeper
roote
in
America
,
for
they
as
onely
desirous
to
know
the
nature
and
qualitie
of
the
soile
,
and
of
things
that
were
likely
to
grow
there
,
did
neuer
seeke
to
haue
them
in
such
quantitie
as
was
requisite
for
their
maintenance
,
affecting
more
by
making
a
needlesse
oftentation
,
that
the
World
should
know
they
had
beene
there
,
then
that
they
did
continue
still
to
inhabit
there
,
like
them
,
that
were
more
in
loue
with
glorie
then
with
vertue
,
then
being
alwaies
subiect
to
diuisions
amongst
themselues
,
it
was
impossible
that
they
could
subsist
,
which
proceeded
sometime
from
emulation
or
enuie
,
and
at
other
times
from
the
lazinesse
of
the
disposition
of
some
,
who
(
lothing
labor
)
could
bee
commanded
by
none
,
who
would
impose
more
vpon
them
then
was
agreeable
with
the
indifferencie
of
their
affections
and
superficiall
endeuours
.
The
English
were
free
from
these
mutinies
,
and
wanted
not
industry
enough
,
but
either
out
of
a
custome
they
haue
to
trauell
more
for
the
benefit
that
doth
flow
from
grasse
,
then
by
manuring
of
the
ground
for
Corne
,
or
otherwise
if
they
were
forced
so
to
doe
by
their
Owners
at
London
,
who
enforcing
a
speedie
returne
by
their
labour
,
would
needs
be
trusted
with
furnishing
of
them
victuals
,
they
applying
themselues
to
Tobacco
,
and
such
things
as
might
import
a
present
commoditie
,
neglecting
the
time
that
might
haue
beene
imployed
for
building
,
planting
and
husbandrie
,
did
liue
but
like
hired
Seruants
,
labouring
for
their
Masters
,
and
not
like
Fathers
prouiding
for
their
Family
and
Posteritie
,
which
can
neuer
bee
auoided
till
the
ground
be
inhabited
by
them
,
that
being
Owners
thereof
,
will
trust
it
with
their
maintenance
,
and
doe
content
themselues
with
the
delight
of
that
which
may
giue
glorie
to
them
,
and
profit
to
their
heires
.
The
Plantations
in
America
doe
approch
neerest
to
the
puritie
of
these
that
(
by
an
industrious
diligence
)
in
the
infancie
of
the
first
age
did
extend
the
multiplying
generations
of
Mankind
,
to
people
the
then
Desert
Earth
,
for
here
they
may
possesse
themselues
without
dispossessing
of
others
,
the
Land
either
wanting
Inhabitants
,
or
hauing
none
that
doe
appropriate
to
themselues
any
peculiar
ground
,
but
(
in
a
straggling
company
)
runne
like
beasts
after
beasts
,
seeking
no
soile
,
but
onely
after
their
prey
.
And
where
of
old
the
Danes
,
Gaules
,
Gothes
,
Hunnes
,
Vandals
,
L●●gobards
,
and
thereafter
Sarazens
,
Turkes
,
and
Tartarians
,
did
(
wit●
〈◊〉
inundation
of
people
)
encroach
vpon
these
places
of
Europe
,
which
were
most
ciuill
,
and
where
the
Gospel
was
best
planted
,
out
of
an
ambitious
enuie
to
draw
vnto
themselues
the
glory
that
any
Nation
had
formerly
gained
,
or
out
of
an
exorbitant
auarice
to
swallow
vp
their
substance
,
and
to
vsurpe
(
if
they
had
power
challenging
right
)
any
Lands
that
were
better
then
their
own
,
as
the
most
part
did
in
Greece
,
Hungary
,
Spaine
,
Italy
and
France
.
●●●e
here
goe
to
cause
preach
the
Gospel
where
it
was
neuer
heard
,
and
not
to
subdue
but
to
ciuillize
the
images
,
for
their
ruine
could
giue
to
vs
neither
glory
nor
benefit
,
since
in
place
of
fame
it
would
breed
infamie
,
and
would
defraud
vs
of
many
able
bodies
,
that
hereafter
(
besides
the
Christian
dutie
in
sauing
their
soules
)
by
themselues
or
by
their
Posteritie
may
serue
to
many
good
vses
,
when
by
our
meanes
they
shall
learne
lawfull
Trades
,
and
indistries
,
the
Authors
whereof
(
though
preuenting
the
like
Superstition
)
may
acquire
no
lesse
reuerence
from
them
,
nor
in
like
case
of
old
Saturne
,
Bacchus
,
Ceres
and
Pallas
,
by
teaching
to
plant
Corne
,
Wine
,
and
Oyle
,
did
get
from
the
credulous
ignorance
of
them
with
whom
they
communicated
their
knowledge
.
When
I
doe
consider
with
my selfe
what
things
are
necessarie
for
a
Plantation
,
I
cannot
but
be
confident
that
my
owne
Countreymen
are
as
fit
for
such
a
purpose
as
any
men
in
the
world
,
hauing
daring
mindes
that
vpon
any
probable
appearances
doe
despise
danger
,
and
bodies
able
to
indure
as
much
as
the
height
of
their
minds
can
vndertake
,
naturally
louing
to
make
vse
of
their
owne
ground
,
and
not
trusting
to
traffique
.
Then
Scotland
by
reason
of
her
populousnesse
being
constrained
to
disburden
her selfe
(
like
the
painfull
Bees
)
did
euery
yeere
send
forth
swarmes
whereof
great
numbers
did
haunt
Pole
with
the
most
extreme
kinde
of
drudgerie
(
if
not
dying
vnder
the
burden
)
scraping
a
few
crummes
together
,
till
now
of
late
that
they
were
compelled
,
abandoning
their
ordinary
calling
,
to
betake
themselues
to
the
warres
against
the
Russians
,
Turks
,
or
Swetdens
,
as
the
Polonians
were
pleased
to
employ
them
others
of
the
better
sort
being
bred
in
France
,
in
regard
of
the
ancient
league
,
did
finde
the
meanes
to
force
out
some
small
fortunes
there
,
till
of
late
that
the
French
though
not
altogether
violating
,
yet
not
valuing
(
as
heretofore
)
that
friendship
which
was
so
religiously
obserued
by
their
predecessours
,
and
with
so
much
danger
and
losse
deserued
by
ours
,
haue
altered
the
estate
of
the
Gu●rds
,
and
doe
derogate
from
our
former
liberties
,
which
is
King
now
raigning
,
we
hope
,
will
restore
to
the
first
integritie
.
The
necessities
of
Ireland
are
neere
supplied
,
and
that
great
current
which
did
transport
so
many
of
our
people
is
worne
drie
.
The
Lowe
Countries
haue
spent
many
of
our
men
,
but
haue
enriched
few
,
and
(
though
raising
their
flight
with
such
borrowed
feathers
,
till
they
were
checked
by
a
present
danger
)
did
too
much
vilipend
these
fauourable
Springs
by
which
their
weaknesse
was
chiefly
refreshed
:
But
howsoeuer
some
particular
men
might
prosper
vnder
a
forraine
Prince
,
all
that
aduenture
so
,
doe
either
perish
by
the
way
,
or
if
they
attaine
vnto
any
fortune
,
doe
lose
the
same
by
some
colour
that
strict
lawes
vrged
against
a
stanger
can
easily
affoord
,
or
else
naturalizing
themselues
where
they
are
,
they
must
disclaime
their
King
and
Countrey
,
to
which
by
time
(
the
obiect
of
their
affections
altered
)
being
bound
to
haue
a
care
of
that
part
where
there
posteritie
must
liue
,
they
turne
euery
way
strangers
,
which
necessitie
imposed
vpon
them
to
take
this
course
,
and
inconueniences
following
thereupon
,
may
be
preuented
by
this
new
Plantation
.
And
where
the
Scottish
Merchants
before
had
no
trade
but
by
transporting
Commodities
that
might
haue
beene
imployed
at
home
,
and
oftentimes
monie
,
to
bring
backe
Wine
from
France
,
and
Pitch
,
Tarre
,
and
Timber
from
the
Easter
Seas
.
Now
only
by
exporting
of
men
,
Corne
,
and
Cattle
,
they
may
within
a
little
time
be
able
to
furnish
back
in
exchange
these
things
before
named
.
As
likewise
a
great
benefit
of
fishes
,
Furres
,
Timber
and
Metals
,
drawing
forth
our
people
to
forreine
Traffique
,
wherewith
they
neuer
haue
bin
accustomed
before
,
and
that
to
the
great
increase
of
the
Customes
,
helping
hereby
to
enrich
that
ancient
Kingdome
,
which
of
all
the
rest
hath
onely
lost
by
his
Maiesties
greatnesse
,
being
hereby
not
onely
defrauded
of
his
owne
presence
,
and
of
the
comfort
that
his
countenance
did
continually
affoord
,
but
likewise
of
many
Commodities
arising
to
any
Countrie
where
a
Court
is
Resident
,
as
the
vniuersall
pouertie
thereof
(
hauing
few
rich
vnlesse
it
bee
some
Iudges
and
their
Clerkes
)
by
a
common
complaint
doth
too
sensibly
testifie
.
I
haue
neuer
remembred
any
thing
with
more
admiration
then
America
,
considering
how
it
hath
pleased
the
Load
to
locke
it
vp
so
long
amidst
the
depths
,
concealing
it
from
the
curiositie
of
the
Ancients
,
that
it
might
be
discouered
in
a
fit
time
for
their
posteritie
,
they
were
so
farre
of
old
from
apprehending
it
by
any
reach
of
reason
,
that
the
most
learned
men
(
as
they
thought
)
by
infallible
grounds
,
in
regard
of
the
degrees
of
the
Heauen
,
did
hold
that
these
Zones
could
not
be
inhabited
,
which
now
are
knowne
to
include
the
most
pleasant
parts
in
the
Word
.
This
neuer
came
to
the
knowledge
of
any
Hebrew
,
Greeke
,
or
Roman
,
who
had
the
most
able
mindes
to
haue
found
out
such
a
mystery
:
and
howsoeuer
some
would
glose
vpon
that
Fable
of
Platoes
Atlantick
Iland
,
I
haue
neuer
obserued
any
thing
amongst
the
Ancient
Writers
tending
to
such
a
purpose
,
if
it
be
not
these
lines
of
Seneca
the
Tragedian
,
whereby
hee
might
(
if
not
with
a
prophetick
,
yet
with
a
poetick
rapture
)
deliuer
that
which
he
had
a
mind
to
make
the
posteritie
expect
,
and
was
in
possibilitie
to
happen
.
Venient

And
it
is
a
thing
not
yet
comprehended
by
the
course
of
naturall
reason
,
how
these
parts
of
the
World
came
first
to
be
peopled
:
We
must
grant
(
according
to
the
grounds
of
Diuinitie
)
their
people
to
be
descended
from
Noah
,
and
it
is
not
long
since
that
(
the
Loadstone
being
found
out
)
the
best
Saylers
(
scorning
as
in
fomer
times
to
be
only
coasters
)
haue
broutht
the
Art
of
Nauigation
to
that
perfection
,
that
they
durst
resolutely
aduenture
to
search
the
most
remote
parts
in
the
Ocean
,
and
if
any
had
gone
thither
of
purpose
to
inhabite
,
they
would
haue
carried
with
them
the
most
vsefull
kindes
of
tame
Cattle
,
such
as
Horses
,
Cowes
,
and
Sheepe
,
whereof
neuer
any
was
found
in
these
parts
,
till
they
were
transported
thither
of
late
yeeres
;
but
onely
such
wild
beasts
as
of
themselues
might
haue
wandred
any
where
through
vast
Forrests
,
and
Deserts
:
so
that
I
doe
thinke
there
must
bee
some
narrow
passage
vpon
the
East
,
towards
Terra
Australis
Incognita
,
not
yet
discouered
,
from
whence
people
by
time
might
haue
come
(
crossing
the
Straits
of
Magelane
)
to
inhabite
Brasile
,
Chile
,
and
Peru
,
or
rather
I
should
thinke
that
there
were
some
Continent
,
or
Narrow
Sea
towardes
the
North
,
about
the
Straits
of
Anien
,
from
whence
the
first
Inhabitants
in
America
might
haue
come
;
because
the
wild
beasts
that
are
there
are
creatures
most
peculiar
to
the
North
,
such
as
Elkes
,
Beares
,
and
Beauers
,
which
are
knowne
to
bee
ordinary
with
the
Russians
,
and
Tartarians
;
and
I
am
the
more
confirmed
in
this
opinion
,
when
I
remember
of
the
Mountains
of
Ice
that
come
floting
euery
Spring
alongst
the
Coast
of
New-found-Land
,
which
(
as
it
is
likely
)
may
dissolue
from
some
Sea
that
hath
beene
frozen
during
the
Winter
time
,
ouer
which
people
,
and
wild
beasts
might
haue
commoditie
to
passe
;
but
this
is
a
matter
that
can
hardly
bee
determined
by
demonstration
or
reason
,
therefore
(
all
men
forming
that
which
they
know
not
,
according
to
the
square
of
their
owne
conceits
.
)
Wee
must
leaue
this
to
the
vnlimited
libertie
of
the
imagination
of
man
.
But
the
thing
most
wonderfull
of
all
is
this
,
though
now
it
bee
cleerely
discouered
,
that
so
few
are
willing
to
make
vse
therof
;
This
doth
chiefly
proceed
from
want
of
knowledge
,
few
being
willing
to
aduenture
vpon
that
wherewith
they
are
not
acquainted
by
their
owne
experience
,
and
yet
those
who
haue
not
made
triall
themselues
,
if
they
will
trust
others
,
may
bee
abundantly
satisfied
by
the
reports
of
a
number
,
who
to
Plant
and
Traffique
doe
yeerely
haunt
these
parts
.
If
the
true
estate
of
that
which
might
bee
done
at
this
time
by
the
ioyning
of
some
reasonable
company
together
were
rightly
vnderstood
,
then
so
many
would
not
liue
at
home
at
they
do
,
losing
their
time
,
where
they
can
make
no
benefit
,
and
burdenable
to
them
to
whom
they
are
not
vsefull
,
rather
admitted
,
then
welcommed
,
the
one
thinking
that
their
seruice
should
deserue
a
reward
,
and
the
other
that
their
maintenance
is
an
vnnecessary
charge
,
neither
gaining
,
and
both
discontented
:
then
would
not
so
many
aduenture
their
liues
for
the
defence
of
strangers
,
whereby
they
scarce
can
acquire
that
which
doth
defray
their
owne
charges
,
and
howsoeuer
the
hope
of
Honour
may
flatter
a
generous
spirit
,
there
is
no
great
appearance
by
this
meanes
to
prouide
for
a
Family
,
or
for
a
Posteritie
.
And
if
we
rightly
consider
the
benefit
that
may
arise
by
this
enterprise
abroad
,
it
is
not
onely
able
to
afford
a
sufficient
meanes
for
their
maintenance
,
who
cannot
conueniently
liue
at
home
,
by
disburdening
the
Countrey
of
them
,
but
it
is
able
to
enable
them
to
deserue
of
their
Countrey
,
by
bringing
vnto
it
both
Honour
and
Profit
.
Where
was
euer
Ambition
baited
with
greater
hopes
then
here
,
or
where
euer
had
Vertue
so
large
a
field
to
reape
the
fruites
of
Glory
,
sines
any
man
,
who
doth
goe
thither
of
good
qualitie
,
able
at
first
to
transport
a
hundred
persons
with
him
furnished
with
things
necessary
,
shall
haue
as
much
Bounds
as
may
serue
for
a
great
Man
,
wherevpon
hee
may
build
a
Towne
of
his
owne
,
giuing
it
what
forme
or
name
hee
will
,
and
being
the
first
Founder
of
a
new
estate
,
which
a
pleasing
industry
may
quickly
bring
to
a
perfection
,
may
leaue
a
faire
inheritance
to
his
posteritie
,
who
shall
claime
vnto
him
as
the
Author
of
their
Nobilitie
there
,
rather
then
to
any
of
his
Ancestours
that
had
preceded
him
,
though
neuer
so
nobly
borne
elswhere
,
and
if
the
vastenesse
of
their
hopes
cannot
bee
bounded
within
their
first
limits
,
as
soone
as
they
haue
strengthned
themselues
for
such
a
designe
,
either
by
Sea
or
by
Land
,
(
in
regard
of
the
large
Countries
next
adiacent
hereunto
)
there
doth
alwaies
rest
a
faire
possibilitie
of
a
further
encrease
,
either
for
them
,
or
for
their
successours
;
and
so
euery
one
of
inferiour
sort
may
expect
proportionably
according
to
his
aduenture
;
The
Merchans
that
are
giuen
to
trade
,
where
can
they
haue
a
fairer
ground
for
gaine
then
here
;
and
that
besides
that
which
may
bee
expected
from
so
fertile
a
Land
by
industry
or
husbandry
hereafter
,
in
present
commodities
,
such
as
Cod
fishes
and
Herring
in
the
Seas
,
Salmonds
in
the
Riuers
,
Furres
,
Pype-staues
,
Pot-ashes
,
and
all
that
may
arise
from
the
plentie
of
good
Wood
,
Mineralls
,
and
other
things
though
not
knowne
to
strangers
that
onely
coast
alongst
the
Land●
,
that
may
bee
discouered
hereafter
by
them
that
are
to
inhabite
the
Bounds
.
Here
those
that
are
so
disposed
,
without
making
a
Monasticall
retreate
(
free
from
a
multitude
of
troubles
)
may
inioy
die
pleasures
of
contemplation
,
being
solitary
when
they
will
,
and
yet
accompanied
when
they
please
,
and
that
not
with
such
company
as
(
pressed
by
importunitie
)
they
must
discontentedly
admit
,
but
onely
by
them
of
whom
they
haue
made
choice
,
and
whom
they
haue
carried
with
them
,
with
whom
(
as
partners
of
their
trauells
)
by
mutuall
discourses
they
may
remember
their
former
dangers
,
and
communicate
their
present
ioyes
:
heere
are
all
sorts
of
obiects
to
satisfie
the
varietie
of
desires
.
I
might
speake
of
the
sport
that
may
bee
had
by
Hunting
,
Hawking
,
Fishing
,
and
Fowling
,
where
all
these
creatures
haue
had
so
long
a
time
for
increase
,
without
being
destroyed
or
frighted
,
as
likewise
of
the
great
contentment
that
must
come
by
daily
discoueries
of
new
Fieldes
and
Riuers
,
with
the
diuersitie
of
things
not
seene
before
that
may
happen
to
bee
found
in
them
:
but
I
would
rather
haue
all
at
first
to
thinke
of
the
paines
they
must
indure
,
in
bringing
of
so
notable
a
Worke
to
perfection
,
since
no
good
thing
can
be
had
with
ease
;
and
all
the
sonnes
of
men
are
borne
to
labour
.
But
leauing
these
worldly
respects
,
the
greatest
incouragement
of
all
for
any
true
Christian
is
this
,
that
heere
is
a
large
way
for
aduancing
the
Gospel
of
Iesus
Christ
,
to
whom
Churches
may
bee
builded
in
places
where
his
Name
was
neuer
knowne
;
and
if
the
Saints
of
Heauen
reioyce
at
the
conuersion
of
a
Sinner
,
what
exceeding
ioy
would
it
bee
to
them
to
see
many
thousands
of
Sauage
people
(
who
doe
now
liue
like
brute
beasts
)
conuerted
vnto
God
,
and
I
wish
(
leauing
these
dreames
of
Honour
and
Profit
,
which
doe
intoxicate
the
braines
,
and
impoyson
the
minde
with
transitory
pleasures
)
that
this
might
bee
our
chiefe
end
to
begin
a
new
life
,
seruing
God
more
sincerely
then
before
,
to
whom
we
may
draw
more
neere
,
by
retyring
our selues
further
from
hence
.
As
I
would
haue
no
man
that
hath
a
mind
for
this
course
,
to
abuse
his
iudgement
,
by
trusting
too
much
to
the
fertilitie
of
the
bounds
where
he
is
to
goe
,
and
too
little
to
his
owne
prouidence
,
and
industrie
,
whereby
he
may
be
made
to
neglect
the
preparing
himmselfe
for
this
Voyage
after
such
a
manner
as
is
requisite
,
So
I
altogether
dislike
them
that
possessed
with
the
preposterous
apprehensions
of
feare
(
like
the
lazie
man
of
whome
Salomon
speaketh
,
that
pretending
difficulties
to
preuent
trauell
,
would
say
there
was
a
Lion
in
the
way
)
will
needs
imagine
the
worst
that
is
in
possibilitie
to
happen
:
for
such
a
man
(
too
ingeniously
subtill
in
coniecturing
danger
)
doth
both
by
preiudicated
opinions
disable
himselfe
,
and
discourage
them
,
who
not
being
duely
informed
,
are
confirmed
by
the
confidence
of
other
vndertakers
,
that
professe
to
haue
knowledge
,
there
is
no
man
at
home
where
he
was
borne
,
so
free
from
the
accidents
of
fortune
who
may
not
quickly
by
a
publike
,
or
by
a
priuate
calamitie
be
brought
in
some
measure
to
suffer
,
and
much
rather
should
wee
arme
our selues
with
a
high
resolution
against
all
inconueniences
that
can
occurre
in
such
a
forraine
enterprise
(
being
circumspectly
prouident
,
but
not
confounded
with
a
deiecting
feare
)
where
the
greatnesse
of
so
well
,
grounded
hopes
for
vs
and
for
our
Posteritie
should
make
vs
(
hoping
for
pleasure
)
to
disgest
any
present
paine
,
with
a
courage
greater
then
can
bee
braued
by
any
apprehended
trouble
.
And
because
the
Lord
in
such
eminent
Exploits
doth
commonly
glorifie
himselfe
by
a
few
number
,
I
wish
that
all
such
whose
hearts
doe
misgiue
them
portending
any
disaster
(
like
them
of
Gideons
troupes
that
bowed
downe
like
beasts
to
the
water
)
should
retire
in
time
,
ere
the
contagiousnesse
of
their
infirmitie
come
to
infect
them
that
are
more
soundly
disposed
.
There
is
no
iust
cause
for
a
reasonable
man
to
feare
any
worldly
thing
,
but
onely
disgrace
and
want
of
necessary
mayntenance
:
A
man
can
hardly
fall
in
the
first
here
,
since
an
honourable
intention
what
euer
the
successe
prooue
must
acquire
prayse
,
and
the
other
by
ordinary
meanes
,
is
easie
to
be
auoyded
,
but
I
am
so
farre
from
painting
out
a
supposed
facilitie
to
snare
weake
minds
,
that
I
would
haue
none
(
with
whom
it
is
not
fit
to
communicate
more
then
they
be
capeable
of
)
to
imbarke
in
this
busines
,
but
only
such
as
do
resolue
against
the
worst
,
for
I
professe
as
Cato
did
,
when
he
was
to
enter
the
Deserts
of
Arabia
.
—
Neque
enim
mihi
fallere
quenquam
Est
animus
,
tectoque
metu
perducere
vulgus
.
Hi
mihi
sint
comites
,
quos
ipsa
pericula
ducent
,
Qui
me

,

,
vel
quae
tristissima
,
pulchrum
,
Romanumque

at

And
last
should
not
these
memorable
Exploits
of
late
performed
in
the
East
and
West
Indies
by
the
Flemmings
,
enflame
vs
with
a
generous
ardour
to
equall
,
or
rather
to
exceede
them
,
whose
penuritie
of
people
(
euen
at
home
)
must
bee
supplyed
by
the
superfluitie
of
ours
:
They
haue
not
onely
in
the
East
Indies
by
seuerall
Habitations
appropriated
large
Territories
to
themselues
,
but
likewise
to
the
great
preiudice
of
their
Neighbours
,
improouing
their
owne
profit
,
haue
engrossed
the
generall
Commerce
by
consequence
depending
thereupon
.
And
if
they
seate
themselues
(
as
it
is
likely
they
will
doe
)
in
Brasill
,
prouidently
prosecuting
the
good
beginning
that
they
haue
gotten
by
sparing
people
of
their
owne
,
or
by
interesting
Strangers
whom
they
dare
trust
for
founding
of
a
sufficient
Colonie
,
that
being
strong
enough
to
defend
and
command
the
Inhabitants
.
(
Securely
exacting
a
due
obedience
)
may
enable
them
for
greater
matters
;
then
confining
with
the
very
Springs
whence
the
streames
flow
that
entertayne
the
power
of
their
enemies
(
exhausting
their
substance
both
by
Sea
and
Land
)
they
haue
a
maruellous
faire
occasion
offered
to
aduance
themselues
by
depressing
of
the
opposed
partie
whose
prosperous
and
desired
sucesse
(
whilest
the
adding
to
one
doth
derogate
from
another
)
if
not
emulated
in
time
,
will
bee
enuied
hereafter
.
I
know
that
many
of
my
Nation
if
they
had
beene
as
willing
as
they
are
able
had
beene
more
fit
then
I
am
for
this
purpose
,
but
yet
it
hath
oftentimes
pleased
God
to
doe
the
greatest
matters
by
the
meanest
Instruments
.
And
as
no
one
man
could
accomplish
such
a
Worke
by
his
owne
priuate
fortunes
,
so
if
it
shall
please
his
Maiestie
(
as
he
hath
euer
beene
disposed
for
the
furthering
of
all
good
Works
more
for
the
benefit
of
his
Subiects
,
then
for
his
owne
particular
)
to
giue
his
helpe
accustomed
for
matters
of
lesse
moment
hereunto
,
making
it
appeare
to
be
a
Worke
of
his
own
,
that
others
of
his
subiects
may
be
induced
to
concurre
in
such
a
common
cause
,
no
man
could
haue
had
my
charge
that
with
more
affection
and
sinceritie
should
haue
vsed
his
endeuours
for
discharging
of
the
same
,
but
I
must
trust
to
be
supplyed
by
some
publike
helps
,
such
as
hath
beene
had
in
other
parts
,
for
the
like
cause
whereunto
,
as
I
doubt
not
,
but
many
will
be
willing
out
of
the
noblenesse
of
their
disposition
,
for
the
aduancing
of
so
worthy
a
Worke
,
So
I
hope
will
some
others
,
the
rather
out
of
their
priuate
respect
to
me
,
who
shall
continue
as
I
haue
heretofore
done
,
both
to
