The

is
environed
with

is
situated
under

Climate
,
it
shoots
forth
into
the

is
the

Hell

Purgatory

because
of
its

Smoak

cannot
endure
the
light
of
the
Sun
;
they
are
destitute
of
Water

are
therefore
forced
to

The
Description
of
all
which
I
am
forced
to
omit
because
I
have
been
so
very
large
in
the
Description
of
the
third
part
of
the
World
called
AFRICA
.
AMERICA
.
AMERICA
,
the
fourth
part
of
the
World
,
was
first
discovered
by
Christopher
Columbus
,
Anno
1492
,
but
it
hath
received
its
Name
from
Americus
Vesputius
,
who
in
the
year
of
Christ
1597
did
fail
about
it
.
Now
this
fourth
part
of
the
World
is
bounded
East
with
the
Atlantick
Ocean
;
West
with
the
West-Indian
Ocean
;
South
with
the
Magellanick
Sea
;
and
on
the
North
with
the
Northern
Ocean
.
When
first
the
Spaniards
had
entred
on
America
they
found
the
people
without
Apparel
,
and
their
Bread
was
made
of
the
Jucca-Root
,
whose
Juice
is
a
strong
poyson
:
but
it
being
squeezed
out
and
dried
it
makes
Bread.
They
worshipped
Devillish
Spirits
,
which
they
call
Zema
;
in
remembrance
of
which
they
keep
Images
made
of
Cotton
Wool
,
to
which
they
did
great
reverence
,
supposing
the
Spirits
of
their
Gods
were
there
;
and
to
blind
them
the
more
,
the
Devil
would
cause
these
Puppets
to
seem
to
move
and
to
make
a
noise
,
so
that
they
feared
them
so
greatly
that
they
durst
not
offend
them
;
which
if
they
did
,
then
the
Devil
would
come
and
destroy
their
Children
.
They
were
so
ignorant
that
they
thought
the
Spaniards
to
be
immortal
;
but
the
doubt
continued
not
long
,
for
having
taken
some
of
them
Prisoners
,
they
put
them
under
Water
untill
they
were
dead
,
and
then
they
knew
them
to
be
mortal
like
other
Men.
They
were
quite
destitute
of
all
good
Learning
,
reckoning
their
Time
by
a
confused
knowledge
of
the
course
of
the
Moon
;
Now
America
is
divided
into
two
parts
,
viz.
Mexicana
,
whose
compass
is
said
to
be
13000
miles
,
and
that
other
part
called
Peruana
,
whose
Circumnavigation
is
esteemed
17000
miles
.
The

Skins

for
the
most

without
Beards

of
their
Body

of
horrid
Creatures

The

are
of
an
Olive-Colour
,
strong

fierce
,
and
are
clad
like
the
former
Natives
of
America
.
The
Women
when
their
Husbands
are
dead
cut
off
their

is
grown
out
again
.

Mountainous

the

As
for
the
Descriptions
of
the
American
Isles
I
must
beg
the
favour
to
omit
:
I
shall
therefore
only
name
them
having
been
so
very
large
already
;
and
they
are
these
:
Viz.
Los
.
Ladrones
,
Fernandes

the

Antego
,
S.

Nieves
,

some
lesser
Isles
belonging

As
also

I
have
finished
the
Description
of

known
Earth

Names
of

Seas
are
these
:
Viz.

,
Perfian

Thus
through
the
Blessing
of
God
I
have
given
you
a
brief
,
tho'true
Description
of
all
the
known
Earth
and
Seas
,
and
have
thus
finished
my
Geographical
Descriptions
of
the
Division
of
the
Earthly
Globe

Oh
thou
Urania
!
Thou
that
hast
now
brought
Our
Ship
to
Harbour
sound
,
and
richly
fraught
.
Tho'Aeolus
his
blustring
Gales
did
send
,
And
foaming
Billows
high
,
the
Skies
did
rend
:
Tho'Blustring
storms

and
Thunder
loud
did
roar
,
And
darkness

opprest
our
Souls
all'ore

So
that
we
could
not
view
the
Stars
,
nor
Sky
,
Nor
Sun
,
nor
Moon
,
nay
Earth
,
could
not
espy
.
Yet
by
thy
Art
,
such
safety
we
did
find
,
Safely
to
pass
both
raging
Seas
,
and
Wind.
And
at
the
last
a
Harbour
,
safe
did
gain
:
Rejecting
fears
;
we
quite
cast
off
our
pain
.
When
Seas
are
calm
,
and
Winds
more
serene
be
,
Then
we
again
will
put
our
Ship
to
Sea
;
That
when
refresht
we
farther
may
descry
,
And
search
into
this
Noble
Treasury
.
