becommeth dampish and rotten the fishes that are giuen them alike and the waters stincking they which carie sweet meates be it flesh or fruits and that vse good bread good wine and good brothes do easily auoide those sicknesses and I durst in some sort be answerable vnto them for their healthes vnlesse they be very vnhealthfull by nature And when I consider that this disease is as well taken in Holland Frizeland in Spaine and in Guinie as in Canada I am brought to beleeue that the chiefe cause thereof is in that which I haue said and not peculiar nor particular to New France After all these causes and considerations it is good in euery place to haue a wel disposed body for to be in health and liue long For those which naturally gather colde and grosse humors and haue the masse of their bodie pory Item they that be subiect to the oppilations of the spleene and they that vse not a sturring life but sitting and without frequent motion are more apt and subiect to these sicknesses Therefore a Physitian might say that a student is not fit for that Countrie that is to say he shall not liue there in health nor those which ouertoile in labors nor melancholy people men which haue drowsie dreaming spirits nor those that be often visited with agues and such other sort of people Which I might easily beleeue because that these things doe heape much melancholy cold and superfluous humors Notwithstanding I haue tried the contrarie both by my selfe and by others against the opinion of some of ours yea of Sagamos Membertou himselfe which plaieth the Soothsaier among the Sauages who arriuing in that countrie said that I should neuer returne into France nor Monsieur Boullet sometimes captaine of Monsieur De Poutrincourt his regiment who for the most part of the time hath had agues there but he did farewel And they themselues did aduise our labourers to take but small labour in their worke which counsell they could very well obserue For I may say and that truely that I neuer made so much bodily worke for the pleasure that I did take in dressing and tilling my gardens to inclose and hedge them against the gluttony of the hogges to make knots to draw out allies to build arbours to sowe wheat rie barly oates beanes pease garden hearbs and to water them so much desire had I to know the goodnesse of the ground by my owne experience So that Summers daies were vnto mee too short and very often did I worke by Moonelight Concerning the labour of the minde I tooke a reasonable part of it for at night euery one being retired among the pratings noises and hurliburlies I was shut vp in my studie reading or writing of something Yea I will not be ashamed to speake that being requested by Monsieur De Poutrincourt our Commander to bestow some houres of my industrie in giuing Christian instructions to our small company for not to liue like beasts and for to giue to the Sauages an example of our maner of life I haue done it according to the necessitie and being thereof requested euery Sunday and sometimes extraordinarilie almost during all the time we haue beene there And well was it for me that I had brought my Bible and some bookes vnawares for otherwise it had beene very difficult for me and had beene cause to excuse me of that worke It hath not beene without fruit many witnessing vnto me that they had neuer heard so much good talke of God not knowing before any principle of that which belongeth to Christian doctrine And such is the state wherin liue the most part of Christendome And if there were any edifying of one part there was backbiting on the other by reason that vsing a French liberty I willingly spake the truth Whereupon I remember the saying of the Prophet Amos They haue hated saith he him that reproued them in the gate and haue had in abomination him that spake in integrity But in the end we became all good friends And amongst these things God gaue me alwaies a sound and a perfect health alwaies a good taste alwaies mery and nimble sauing that hauing once laien in the woods neere to a brooke in snowey weather I was touched with a Crampe or Sciatika in my thigh a fortnights space not loosing my appetite nor stomacke for the same for indeed I tooke delight in that which I did desiring to confine there my life if it would please God to blesse the voyages I should be ouer tedious if I would set downe heere the disposition of all persons and to speake concerning children that they are more subiect to this sicknesse then others for that they haue very often vlcers in the mouth and gummes because of the thin substance that abound in their bodies and also that they gather many crude humours by their disorder of liuing and by the quantity of fruits they eate being neuer filled with it by which m eans they gather great quantity of waterish bloud and the spleene being stopped cannot soake vp those moisturs And as for old folkes that haue their heat weakened and cannot resist the sicknes being filled with crudities and with a cold and moist temperature which is the qualitie proper to stirre vp and nourish it I will not take the Physitians office in hand fearing the censuring rod and notwithstanding with their leaue not touching with their orders and receits of Agaric aloes rubarbe and other ingrediens I will write heere that which I thinke more ready at hand for the poore people which haue not the abilitie and meanes to send to Alexandria as well for the preseruation of their health as for the remedie of this sicknesse It is a certaine axiome that a contrary must be healed by his contrarie This sicknesse proceeding from an indigestion of rude grosse cold and melancholie meates which offend the stomacke I thinke it good submitting my selfe to better Iudgement and aduice to accompany them with good sawces be it of butter oyle or fat all well spiced to correct as well the quality of the meate as of the bodie inwardly waxen colde Let this be said for rude and grosse meates as beanes pease and fish for he that shall eat good capons 〈◊〉 ●●●●●idges good duckes and good rabets he may be ●●sured of his health or else his body is of a very bad constitution We haue had some sicke that haue as it were raised vp from death to life for hauing eaten twice or thrice of a coolice made of a cocke good wine taken according to the necessity of nature is a soueraigne preseruatiue for all sicknesses and particularily for this Master Macquin and Master Georges worshipfull Marchants of Rochel as associates to Monsieur De Monts did furnish vs with 45. toones of wine which did vs very much good And our sicke folkes themselues hauing their mouthes spoiled and not being able to eat haue neuer lost

NOVA FRANCIA Or the DESCRIPTION OF THAT PART OF NEVV FRANCE which is one continent with VIRGINIA Described in the three late Voyages and Plantation made by Monsieur de Monts Monsieur du Pont-Graué and Monsieur de Poutrincourt into the countries called by the French men La Cadie lying to the Southwest of Cape Breton Together with an excellent seuerall Treatie of all the commodities of the said countries and maners of the naturall inhabitants of the same Translated out of French into English by P. E LONDINI Impensis GEORGII BISHOP 1609. TO THE BRIGHT STARRE OF THE NORTH HENRY Prince of Great BRITAINE MOst excellent Prince my Author knowing that there are someworks so naturally great of themselues that they challenge the gratious protection of Princes hath offered this his Historie to the Royall patronage of the most Christian King two Queenes and the Dauphin to the end it might stirre them the more to prosecute the populating of the lands heerein described to bring the Naturals thereof Sauage and miserable people to ciuilitie and right knowledge of God and so to the saluation of their soules Assuming the like presumption I haue hoped notwithstanding the defects which necessarily attend a stranger who can neuer attaine the naturall Idiome of this eloquent language that it might not be an iniury to your Highnesse but an addition of Honor and safetie of tbis worke if I should dare to inscribe your Princely name on the forehead thereof Which bouldnesse the noble vndertaking of the English Nation hath nourished who haue so lately begun by the permission and vnder the protection of his excellent Maiestie your most Royall Father to plant Christianitie in Virginia being one continent next adioining land to these For who may better support and manage magnanimous actions such as be the peopling of lands planting of Colories erecting of ciuill Gouernementes and propagating of the Gospell of Christ which are Royall and Princely foundations then those whom the King of Kings hath established as Atlasses of kingdoms Christian common weales God hath necessitated in his Prophecie Kings and Queenes to be nursing Fathers and nursing Mothers of his Church so that he hath not onely committed the gouernment of a ripe and strong body able to subsist but hath imposed the care of the tendernesse and infancie thereof vpon them Alexander being yet young would haue runne in the Olympian games if kings had runne there now Kings doe run now Princes doe worke in the Lords haruest to spread that name which must gather the elect from the vtmost endes of the world if not in their persons yet with their authoritie and meanes I know your Highnesse would not be inferiour but rather excell in so noble an action such an emulation is pleasing to God your birth leadeth vnto it Christian charitie inuiteth you to be chiefe worker in the sauing of millions of soules The necessitie of your Countrie of Great BRITAINE ouer populous doth require it And lastly your poore Virginians doe seeme to implore your Princely aide to helpe them to shake off the yoke of the diuel who hath hitherto made them liue worse then beasts that hencefoorth they may be brought into the fould of Christ and in time to liue vnder your Christian gouernmēt So then hauing thus runne you shall obtaine an euerlasting Crowne of glory being as well planter as defender of the Faith Your Highnesse humblest seruant P. ERONDELLE To the Reader GEntle Reader The whole volume of the Nauigations of the French nation into the West Indies comprised in three bookes was brought to mee to be translated by M. Richard Hackluyt a man who for his worthy and profitable labours is well knowen to most men of worth not onely of this kingdome but also of forrain parts and by him this part was selected and chosen from the whole worke for the particular vse of this Nation to the end that comparing the goodnesse of the lands of the Northerly parts heerein mentioned with that of Virginia which though in one and the selfe same continent and both lands adioyning must be far better by reason it stands more Southerly neerer to the Sunne greater encouragement may be giuen to prosecute that generous and godly action in planting and peopling that Country to the better propagation of the Gospel of Christ the saluation of innumerable soules and generall benefit of this land too much pestred with ouer many people Which translation as I haue said is but a part of a greater volume If therefore you finde that some references of things mentioned in the former part of the said volume are not to be found in this translation do not thinke it strange in asmuch as they could not wel be brought in except the whole volume should be translated which of purpose was left vndone as well to auoid your farther charges as because it was thought needlesse to translate more then concerneth that which adioyneth to Virginia What good the English Nation may reape of this worke by the onely description that is found therein of Nations Ilands Harbours Bayes Coasts Riuers Rockes Shoulds Sands Bankes and other dangers which the Saylers into those parts may now the more easily finde and auoid by the knowledge that this translation giueth them of it let the Nauigators iudge therof who for want of such knowledge haue found themselues in euident perill of death and many altogether cast away If a man that sheweth foorth effectually the zealous care he hath to the well-fare and common good of his country deserueth praises of the same I refer to the iudgement of them that abhor the vice of ingratitude hatefull aboue all to God goodmen whether the said M. Hackluyt as well for the first procuring of this translation as for many workes of his set out by him for the good and euerlasting fame of the English Nation deserueth not to reape thankes As for this my labour if it be censured fauorably and my good affection in vndertaking the translating of this worke for the benefit of this land taken in good part it will encourage me to endeauour my selfe to doe better heereafter The Table of the contents of the Chapters The first Booke WHerein are described the three late Voiages Nauigations and Plantation of New France otherwise called La Cadia by Monsieur de Monts Monsieur du Pont-grauè and Monsieur de Poutrincourt CHAP.
