A21108	A plaine path-vvay to plantations that is, a discourse in generall, concerning the plantation of our English people in other countries. Wherein is declared, that the attempts or actions, in themselues are very good and laudable, necessary also for our country of England. Doubts thereabout are answered: and some meanes are shewed, by which the same may, in better sort then hitherto, be prosecuted and effected. Written for the perswading and stirring vp of the people of this land, chiefly the poorer and common sort to affect and effect these attempts better then yet they doe. With certaine motiues for a present plantation in New-found land aboue the rest. Made in the manner of a conference, and diuided into three parts, for the more plainnesse, ease, and delight to the reader. By Richard Eburne of Hengstridge in the countie of Somerset.

by_o he_o most_o affect_v all_o tend_v to_o this_o main_a end_n to_o move_v our_o people_n of_o england_n to_o plant_v themselves_o abroad_o and_o free_v themselves_o of_o that_o penury_n and_o

and_o special_o to_o do_v some_o good_a this_o way_n for_o and_o with_o the_o mean_a sort_n of_o our_o people_n to_o who_o capacity_n therefore_o it_o be_v fit_a and_o more_o than_o fit_a necessary_a that_o i_o shall_v fit_v and_o frame_v my_o speech_n that_o observe_v i_o doubt_v not_o but_o you_o will_v not_o only_o bear_v with_o but_o also_o approve_v of_o my_o plainness_n as_o best_o befit_v

of_o his_o flock_n to_o seek_v the_o furtherance_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o to_o sound_v forth_o the_o glad_a tiding_n of_o salvation_n to_o all_o nation_n to_o be_v principal_a agent_n therein_o
