Catalina on the North side of Trinity Bay where fisher Boates doe often harbour vpon some occasions it is neere sixe leagues West South-west in towards the said Bay And from thence vnto a Roade for Ships called English Harbour towards the North-west it is two leagues where some yeeres 6. or 7. saile of good Ships haue made their fishing voyages And from thence to the North-west halfe a league lieth a harbour called Salmon Coue wheresome yeeres 10. saile of good Ships haue made their voyages And from thence to the West a league lieth a good Roade called Robin Hoods Bay where some yeeres 6. good Ships haue made their voyages From thence vnto the West halfe a league lye the best harbours in that Land called by the name of Trinity Harbour where some yeeres aboue 20. saile of good Ships haue made their fishing voyages And from Trinity harbour towards the West two leagues lieth the harbour of Bonauenter where some yeeres 5. or 6. good Ships make their voyages And from thence to the West neere two leagues lyeth a Riuer or Inlet nauigable fit for any ship to saile in stretching towards the North which I may well call the Riuer of Bonauenter because it is supposed to runne into the Bay of Flowers which lyeth on the North side of Trinity harbour At the entrance of of which Riuer some yeeres diuers Ships hau● rid there at anchor to make their voyages And from thence West 4. leagues lieth a harbour called Hartsease where diuers good Ships haue made their voyages And betweene the foresaid Riuer of Bonauenter and the said harbour of Hartsease there is a very good harbour stretching towards the North aboue 6. leagues called Hayleford Hauen where Ships doe not vse to fish by reason there are no conuenient places to dry their fish on neere the entrance into the said harbour And aboue the said harbour of Hartsease to the Westermost part of Trinitie Bay it is no lesse then twelue leagues And there is also good fishing farre into the Bay within the said harbour of Hartsease as by good proofe hath beene often made Betweene the said harbour of Hartsease and the foresaid English harbour there are many delightfull and fruitfull Ilands none of them aboue a mile from the Land And the Bay of Trinitie is in breadth at the neerest place which is right ouer against the harbour of Hartsease aboue 5. leagues And those that fish on the South side of the said Bay doe yeerely send their Boates to

life It is there shall any Land powre in abundant heapes of nourishments necessaries before you There you haue them What seas so abounding in fish what shores so replenished with fresh and sweet waters The wants of other Kingdomes are not felt heere and those prouisions which many Countryes want are from thence supplied How much is Spaine France Portugall Italy and other places beholding to this noble part of the world for fish and other commodities it is to be admired Let the Dutch report what sweetnesse they haue suckt from her by trade thither in buying of fish from our Nation And albeit all the rest should be dumbe the voyces of them are as Trumpets lowd enough to make England fall more and more in loue with such a sister-land I will not wearie thee good Reader with leading thee to those famous faire and profitable riuers nor to those delightfull large and inestimable woods neither ouer all those fruitfull and inticing hils and delightfull vallies there to hawke and hunt where there is neither Clowne nor sauage people to hinder thy sports They are such that in so small a piece of paper as now my loue salutes thee with I cannot fully set them downe as they deserue and therefore intreat thee with iudgement with patience and with desire for the benefit of they Countrey to reade ouer this Discourse which I trust may incourage thee to further so hopefull a Plantation as it appeareth to bee and also giue thee ample satisfaction and iust cause to answere opposers if any out of ignorance or other sinister respect shall seeke to hinder so honourable and worthy designes So wishing thee all happinesse I rest Euer thine for my Countries good RICHARD WHITBOVRNE A LOVING INVITATION TO ALL his Maiesties louing Subiects for their generall good SEeing it hath pleased the Kings most excellent Maiesty long since to grant a Patent vnto some right Honourable and right worshipfull persons and others for a Plantation in the New-found-land my often trauels to that Countrey and many wrongs which I receiued there gaue me cause to take some notice and obserue the vnfitnesse of the place where the said Plantation was first begun as also how in seuerall yeeres Pirates and erring Subiects were there entertained which as I conceiued was a dishonour to his Maiesty an abuse to the Vndertakers of that worthy purpose as also a generall wrong to all his Maiesties subiects which aduenture thither And likewise often seeing great abuses committed there yeerely by the traders thither I was thereby imboldened to compile my former discouery of that Countrey as now it is The which when I had so done I did not trust onely to my owne iudgement that the same was fit to be presented vnto his Maiesty vntill I had the approbation of some iudiciall Lords and other right worshipfull Knights that it was a businesse of worth to bee so presented as it hath been Since which time I have not seene any reason to the contrary in my selfe neither haue I hitherto found any iudiciall contradiction in others but that to inhabite and plant seuerall Colonies of his Maiesties subiects in that Countrey will be both honourable and profitable to them all in generall Whereunto seeing your Honor is led by your own proper vertues and generosity as also the right Honorable Sir George Caluert Knight one of the principall Secretaries to his Maiesty and diuers others right worshipfull Knights and Esquires in some other seuerall parts there whereby it appears that your Honours nor any of the other Vndertakers are dis-heartened therein by reason the same hath not been as yet so orderly proceeded on as yee both intend For there is no doubt but that other mens errours will make you and yours the more curious in the conduction thereof like expert Pilots who by the discouery of rockes and shelues know how to auoyd them and by sight of other mens shipwracks perfectly know how to preuent their owne Of which Countrey considering his Maiesty out of his Princely care and vnderstanding hath taken such deepe and singular notice by which both yee and diuers others are as also partly by my discoueries incouraged thereunto to make it famous vnto all posterities And sith Plantations as well as reformations begin by degrees so you haue all the pregnant reasons of the world to rest assured that when you have begun to settle your directions and designes well therein you have halfe ended and because the attempt and enterprize heereof is as full of assurances as hopes the issue thereof will vndoubtedly proue fortunate and the successe glorious And although your iudgements reasons haue already made you not onely credulous but confident hereof yet to informe and prepare the knowledge of those who shall be willing to assist the same with you both in the honours and profits which will accrue thereby I haue aduentured to compile and divulge this ensuing Treatise which tends and leads that way although I know well that the worke deserues a more curious pen to make it passe currant with the iudicious Reader Yet my sincerity and integrity in penning it will I trust supply the defects or at least the truth thereof which is indeed the only proper foundation structure and ornament herein And thus fearing lest I should make this my introduction ouer tedious I will proceed and lay open the matter and reasons for the performance thereof to the sight and censure of whomsoeuer hath seene that Countrey or shall be willing to assist your so noble and worthy designes The two seuerall circuits of land in that Countrey which is so granted vnto your Lordship your heires in fee for euer I haue heere plainly expressed in what a temperate Climate it lyeth As also in what manner the bounds thereof extend Likewise the commodious lying of some good Harbours Bayes and Roades within the same where great store of Shipping hath long time vsed to ride at Anchor for making of their fishing Voyages As also partly the pleasantnesse of some parts of the said seuerall Circuits And what the particular charge may amount vnto for victualing forth a Ship of one hundred Tun burthen to that Countrey with forty persons prouided with all necessaries for the fishing voyage and for the good of the said Plantation As also what yeerely benefit may accrue vnto the Aduenturers thereby And withall by Gods assistance the said Plantation to be proceeded on with much facility As also in what liberall manner you will be pleased to entertaine such as shall be willing to aduenture with you therein The reasons which I shall deliuer to performe what I haue written herein I humbly submit vnto your fauour and iudgement the defects and things needlesse to your honourable censure and pardon So shall I not feare any who hath seene that Countrey shall bee able iustly to disproue the same The Southmost part of your Circuit in that Land which is now called by the name of South-Fawlkland lyeth
