of a Bible For I neither had one nor scarcely could ever think to see one Upon which I flung down my Angle and went to meet him The first place the Book opened in after I took it in my hand was the Sixteenth Chapter of the Acts and the first place my eye pitched on was the Thirtieth and one and Thirtieth Verses where the Iailor asked S. Paul What must I do to be saved And he answered saying Believe in the Lord Iesus Christ and thou shalt be saved and thine house The sight of this Book so rejoiced me and affrighted me together that I cannot say which Passion was greater the joy for that I had got sight of a Bible or the fear that I had not enough to buy it having then but one Pagoda in the World which I willingly would have given for it had it not been for my Boy who dissuaded me from giving so much alledging my Necessity for Money many other ways and undertaking to procure the Book for a far meaner price provided I would seem to slight it in the sight of the old Man This counsel after I considered I approved of my urgent Necessities earnestly craving and my Ability being but very small to relieve the same and however I thought I could give my piece of Gold at the last cast if other means should fail I hope the Readers will excuse me that I hold them so long upon this single passage For it did so affect me then that I cannot lightly pass it over as often as I think of it or have occasion to mention it The sight indeed of this Bible so overjoyed me as if an Angel had spoke to me from Heaven To see that my most gracious God had prepared such an extraordinary Blessing for me which I did and ever shall look upon as miraculous to bring unto me a Bible in my own Native Language and that in such a remote part of the World where his Name was not so much as known and where any English Man was never known to have been before I looked upon it as somewhat of the same nature with the Ten Commandments he had given the Israelites out of Heaven it being the thing for want whereof I had so often mourned nay and shed tears too and than the enjoyment whereof there could be no greater joy in the world to me Upon the sight of it I left off Fishing God having brought a Fish to me that my Soul had longed for and now how to get it and enjoy the same all the Powers of my Soul were employed I gave God hearty thanks that he had brought it so near me and most earnestly prayed that he would bestow it on me Now it being well towards Evening and not having wherewithal to buy it about me I departed home telling the old Man that in the Morning I would send my Boy to buy it of him All that Night I could take no rest for thinking on it fearing lest I might be disappointed of it In the Morning as soon as it was day I sent the Boy with a knit Cap he had made for me to buy the Book praying in my heart for good success which it pleased God to grant For that Cap purchased it and the Boy brought it to me to my great joy which did not a little comfort me over all my Afflictions Having said all this concerning my Father and my Self it will be time now to think of the rest of our poor Countreymen and to see what is become of them They were carried into the County of Hotteracourly Westward from the City of Cande and placed singly according to the King's Order aforesaid some four some six Miles distant one from the other It was the King's Command concerning them that the People should give them Victuals and look after them So they carried each man from house to house to eat as their turns came to give them Victuals and where they Supped there they Lodged that Night Their Bedding was only a Mat upon the Ground They knew not they were so near to one another a great while till at length Almighty God was pleased by their grief and heaviness to move those Heathen to Pity and take Compassion on them So that they did bring some of them to one another Which joy was but Abortive for no sooner did they begin to feel the Comfort of one anothers Company but immediately their Keepers called upon them to go from whence they came fearing they might consult and run away altho Columbo the nearest Port they could fly to was above two days Iourney from them But as it is with wild Beasts beginning to grow tame their Liberty encreaseth So it happened to our Men so that at length they might go and see one another at their pleasures and were less and less watched and regarded And seeing they did not attempt to run away they made no matter of it if they stayed two or three days one with the other They all wondered much to see themselves in this Condition to be kept only to eat and the People of the Countrey giving it unto them daily expecting when they would put them to work which they never did nor dared to do For the King's order was to feed them well only and to look after them until he pleased to send for them This after some time made them to change their minds and not to think themselves Slaves any more but the Inhabitants of the Land to be their Servants in that they laboured to sustain them Which made them to begin to Domineer and would not be content unless they had such Victuals as pleased them and oftentimes used to throw the Pots Victuals and all at their heads that brought them which they patiently would bear And as they lived here longer they knew better what Privileges they had in belonging unto the King and being maintained by virtue of his Command And their Privileges they made use of to no purpose as I shall relate an instance or two by and by and shewed their English Metal Victuals was the only thing allowed them but no Cloths By this time the Cloths they had were almost worn out This put them to a study what course to take to procure more when those on their backs were gone The readiest way that they could devise was this that whereas they used to take their Victuals brought to them ready dressed they should now take them raw and so to pinch somewhat out of their Bellies to save to buy Cloths for their Backs And so accordingly they concluded to do and by the favour that God gave them in the sight of the People by alledging the Innocency of their Cause and the Extremity of their present Condition having not the least ability to help or relieve themselves they consented to give them two Measures of Rice a day each man One of which is as much as any man can eat in a day
prompted to or earnestly solicited for it neglect to do it others delay to do it so long till they have forgotten what they intended Such as these Importunity would prevail upon to disclose their knowledge if fitting Persons were found to Discourse and ask them Questions and to Compile the Answers into a History Of this kind was lately produc'd in High Dutch a History of Greenland by Dr. Fogelius of Hamborough from the Information of Frederick Martin who had made several Voyages to that Place in the doing of which he made use of the Instruction given by the Royal Society 'T is much to be wondred that we should to this Day want a good History of most of our VVest-Indian Plantations Ligon has done well for the Barbadoes and somewhat has been done for the Summer Islands Virginia c.

time there are Dancers playing and shewing many pretty Tricks of Activity before him To see the which and also to shew themselves in their Bravery occasions more People to resort hither than otherwise their Zeal and Devotion would prompt them to do Two or thee days before the Full Moon each of these Gods hath a Pallenkine carried after them to add unto their honour In the which there are several pieces of their superstitious relicts and a Silver Pot. Which just at the hour of Full Moon they ride out unto a River and dip full of water which is carried back with them into the Temple where it is kept till the year after and then flung away And so the Ceremony is ended for that year This Festival of the Gods taking their Progress thro the City in the year 1664. the King would not permit to be performed and that same year the Rebellion happened but never since hath he hindred it At this time they have a Superstition which lasteth six or seven days too foolish to write it consists in Dancing Singing and Iugling The reason of which is lest the eyes of the People or the Power of the Iacco's or Infernal Spirits might any ways prove prejudicial or noisom to theaforesaid Gods in their Progress abroad During the Celebration of this great Festival there are no Drums allowed to be beaten to any particular Gods at any private Sacrifice In the Month of November the Night when the Moon is at the Full there is another great solemn Feast called in their Language Cawtha Poujah Which is celebrated only by lighting of Lamps round about the Pogada At which time they stick up the longest Poles they can get in the Woods at the Doors of the Pagods and of the King's Palace Upon which they make contrivances to set Lamps in rows one above the other even unto the very tops of the Poles which they call Tor-nes To maintain the charge hereof all the Countrey in general do contribute and bring in Oil. In this Poujah or Sacrifice the King seems to take delight The reason of which may be because he participates far more of the Honour than the Gods do in whose name it is celebrated his Palace being far more decked and adorned with high Poles and Lights than the Temples are This Ceremony lasteth but for one Night And these are their Anniversary Feasts to the honour of those Gods whose power extends to help them in this Life now follows the manner of their Service to the Buddou who it is they say that must save their Souls and the Festival in honour of him To represent the memorial of him to their eye they do make small Images of Silver Brass and Clay and Stone which they do honour with Sacrifices and Worship shewing all the signs of outward reverence which possibly they can In most places where there are hollow Rocks and Caves they do set up Images in memorial of this God Unto which they that are devoutly bent at New and Full Moons do carry Victuals and worship His great Festival is in the Month of March at their New-years Tide The Places where he is commemorated are two not Temples but the one a Mountain and the other a Tree either to the one or the other they at this time go with Wives and Children for Dignity and Merit one being esteemed equal with the other The Mountain is at the South end of the Countrey called Hammalella but by Christian People Adam's Peak the highest in the whole Island where as has been said before is the Print of the Buddou's foot which he left on the top of that Mountain in a Rock from whence he ascended to Heaven Unto this footstep they give worship light up Lamps and offer Sacrifices laying them upon it as upon an Altar The benefit of the Sacrifices that are offered here do belong unto the Moors Pilgrims who come over from the other Coast to beg this having been given them heretofore by a former King So that at that season there are great numbers of them always waiting there to receive their accustomed Fees The Tree is at the North end of the King's Dominions at Annarodgburro This Tree they say came flying over from the other Coast and there planted it self as it now stands under which the Buddou-God at his being on earth used as they say often to sit This is now become a place of solemn worship The due performance whereof they reckon not to be a little meritorious insomuch that as they report Ninety Kings have since reigned there successively where by the ruins that still remain it appears they spared not for pains and labour to build Temples and high Monuments to the honour of this God as if they had been born only to hew Rocks and great Stones and lay them up in heaps These Kings are now happy Spirits having merited it by these their labours Those whose Ability or Necessity serve them not to go to these Places may go to some private Vihars nearer For this God above all other they seem to have an high respect and Devotion as will appear by this that follows Ladies and Gentlewomen of good Quality will sometimes in a Fit of Devotion to the Buddou go a begging for him The greatest Ladies of all do not indeed go themselves but send their Maids dressed up finely in their stead These Women taking the Image along with them carry it upon the palms of their hand covered with a piece of white Cloth and so go to mens houses and will say We come a begging of your Charity for the Buddou towards his Sacrifice And the People are very liberal They give only of three things to him either Oyl for his Lamps or Rice for his Sacrifice or Money or Cotton Tarn for his use Poor men will often go about begging Sustenance for themselves by this means They will get a Book of Religion or a Buddou's Image in a Case wrapping both in a white Cloth which they carry with great reverence And then they beg in the name of the Book or the God And the People bow down to them and give their Charity either Corn or Money or Cotton yarn Sometimes they will tell the Beggar What have I to give And he will reply as the saying is as much as you can take up between your two fingers is Charity After he has received a gift from any he pronounceth a great deal of blessing upon him Let the blessing of the Gods and the Buddou go along with you let your Corn ripen let your Cattle increase let your Life be long câ— Some being devoutly disposed will make the Image of this God at their own charge For the making whereof they must bountifully reward the Founder Before the Eyes are made it is not accounted a God but a lump of ordinary Metal and thrown about the Shop with no more regard than any thing else But when the Eyes are to be made the

Concerning their Learning Astronomy and Art Magick THeir Learning is but small All they ordinarily learn is to read and to write But it is no shame to a man if he can do neither Nor have they any Schools wherein they might be taught and instructed in these or any other Arts. Their Books are only of their Religion and of Physick Their chief Arts are Astronomy and Magick They have a Language something differing from the vulgar tongue like Latin to us which their Books are writ in They learn to write upon Sand spreading it upon the ground and making it smooth with the hand and so write the letters with their fingers to bring their hand in use They write not on Paper for of that they have little or none but on a Talli-pot leaf with an Iron Bodkin which makes an impression This leaf thus written on is not folded but rolled up like Ribbond and somewhat resembles Parchment If they are to write a Book they do it after this manner They take the Tallipot leaf and cut it into divers pieces of an equal shape and size some a foot some eight inches some a foot and an half long and about three fingers broad Then having thus prepared the leaves they write in them long ways from the left hand to the right as we do When the Book is finished they take two pieces of board which are to serve for the cover of the Book To these boards are fastened two strings which do pass thro every leaf of the Book and these tye it up fast together As the Reader hath read each leaf he lifts it up and lays it by still hanging upon the strings and so goes to the next leaf something resembling Bills filed upon Wyre The Gonnies who are men of leisure write many Books of Bonna that is of the Ceremonies of their Religion and will sometimes carry them to great Men as a present and do expect a reward The King when he sends any Warrants or Orders to his Officers hath his Writings wrapped up in a way proper to himself and none else do or may fold up their leaves in that manner but He. They write upon the Tallipat leaves Records or matters of great moment or that are to be kept and preserved but for any ordinary business as Letters c. they commonly use another leaf called Taulcole The leaves of which will bear a better impression than the Tallipat but they are more stubborn and harder than the other and will not fold But to speak a little of their Astronomy They who have understanding in it and practise it are the Priests of the highest Order of which the present King's Father was But the common sort of Astronomers are the Weavers
trusty than his own People With these he often discourses concerning the Affairs of their Countreys and promotes them to places far above their Ability and sometimes their Degree or Desert And indeed all over the Land they do bear as it were a natural respect and reverence to White Men in as much as Black they hold to be inferior to White And they say the Gods are White and that the Souls of the Blessed after the Resurrection shall be White and therefore that Black is a rejected and accursed colour And as further signs of the King's favour to them there are many Privileges which White Men have and enjoy as tolerated or allowed them from the King which I suppose may proceed from the aforesaid Consideration as to wear any manner of Apparel either Gold Silver or Silk Shoes and Stockings a shoulder Belt and Sword their Houses may be whitened with Lime and many such like things all which the Chingulayes are not permitted to do He will also sometimes send â—or them into his Presence and discourse familiarly with them and entertain them with great Civilities especially white Ambassadors They are greatly chargeable unto his Countrey but he regards it not in the least So that the People are more like Slaves unto us than we unto the King In as much as they are inforced by his Command to bring us maintenance Whose Poverty is so great oftentimes that for want of what they supply us with themselves their Wives and Children are forced to suffer hunger this being as a due Tax imposed upon them to pay unto us Neither can they by any Power or Authority refuse the Payment hereof to us For in my own hearing the People once complaining of their Poverty and Inability to give us any longer our Allowance the Magistrate or Governor replied It was the King's special Command and who durst disannul it And if otherwise they could not supply us with our maintenance he bad them sell their Wives and Children rather than we should want of our due Such is the favour that Almighty God hath given Christian People in the sight of this Heathen King whose entertainment and usage of them is thus favourable If any enquire into the Religious exercise and Worship practised among the Christians here I am sorry I must say it I can give but a slender account For they have no Churches nor no Priests and so no meetings together on the Lord's Dayes for Divine Worship but each one Reads or Prays at his own House as he is disposed They Sanctifie the Day chiefly by refraining work and meeting together at Drinking-houses They continue the practice of Baptism and there being no Priests they Baptize their Children themselves with Water and use the words In the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost and give them Christian Names They have their Friends about them at such a time and make a small Feast according to their Ability and some teach their Children to say their Prayers and to Read and some do not Indeed their Religion at the best is but Negative that is they are not Heathen they do not comply with the Idolatry here practised and they profess themselves Christians in a general manner which appears by their Names and by their Beads and Crosses that some of them wear about their Necks Nor indeed can I wholly clear them from complyance with the Religion of the Countrey For some of them when they are Sick do use the Ceremonies which the Heathen do in the like case as in making Idols of clay and setting them up in their Houses and Offering Rice to them and having Weavers to Dance before them But they are ashamed to be known to do this and I have known none to do it but such as are Indians born Yet I never knew any of them that do inwardly in Heart and Conscience incline to the ways of the Heathen but perfectly abhor them nor have there been any I ever heard of that came to their Temples upon any Religious account but only would stand by and look on without it were one old Priest named Padre Vergonce a Genoez born and of the Iesuits Order who would go to the Temples and eat with the Weavers and other ordinary People of the Sacrifices offered to the Idols but with this Apology for himself that he eat it as common Meat and as God's Creature and that it was never the worse for their Superstition that had past upon it But however this may reflect upon the Father another thing may be related for his Honour There happened two Priests to fall into the hands of the King on whom he conferred great Honours for having laid aside their Habits they kept about his Person and were the greatest Favourites at Court The King one day sent for Vergonse and asked him if it would not be better for him to lay aside his old Coat and Cap and to do as the other two Priests had done and receive Honour from him He replied to the King That he boasted more in that old habit and in the Name of Iesus than in all the honour that he could do him And so refused the King's Honour The King valued the Father for this saying He had a pretty Library about him and died in his Bed of old Age whereas the two other Priests in the King's Service died miserably one of a Canker and the other was slain The old Priest had about Thiâ—ty or Forty Books which the King they say seized on after his Death and keeps These Priests and more lived there but all deceased excepting Vergonse before my time The King allowed them to build a Church which they did and the Portugueze assembled there but they made no better than a Bawdy-house of it for which cause the King commanded to pull it down Although here be Protestants and Papists yet here are no differences kept up among them but they are as good Friends as if there were no such Parties And there is no other Distinctions of Religion there but only Heathens and Christians and we usually say We Christians FINIS
