A27466	A discourse and view of Virginia	Berkeley, William, Sir, 1608-1677.	1663 (1663)	Wing B1975; ESTC R24850	8,737	15

a_o discourse_n and_o view_n of_o virginia_n before_o i_o enter_v into_o the_o consideration_n of_o the_o advantage_n this_o kingdom_n of_o england_n have_v by_o the_o plantation_n in_o virginia_n i_o think_v it_o necessary_a to_o make_v a_o short_a description_n of_o the_o situation_n of_o it_o as_o to_o the_o climate_n and_o then_o tell_v what_o natural_a help_v it_o have_v to_o make_v it_o a_o glorious_a and_o flourish_a country_n and_o when_o this_o discourse_n shall_v produce_v a_o concession_n of_o the_o natural_a advantage_n it_o have_v above_o all_o other_o his_o majesty_n plantation_n i_o shall_v lay_v down_o the_o cause_n both_o intrinsic_a and_o accidental_a why_o it_o have_v not_o in_o all_o this_o suppose_a long_a tract_n of_o time_n produce_v those_o rich_a and_o staple_n commodity_n which_o i_o shall_v in_o this_o discourse_n affirm_v it_o be_v capable_a of_o and_o first_o for_o the_o climate_n it_o lie_v within_o the_o degree_n of_o 37._o and_o 42._o mariland_n include_v which_o by_o all_o be_v confess_v to_o be_v a_o situation_n capable_a of_o the_o diversity_n of_o all_o northern_a and_o southern_a commodity_n some_o drug_n and_o spice_n except_v which_o florida_n on_o who_o border_n we_o be_v new_o seat_v may_v also_o probable_o produce_v into_o the_o bay_n of_o virginia_n former_o call_v chesapeack_n bay_n run_v six_o eminent_a river_n none_o twenty_o mile_n distant_a from_o another_o three_o of_o which_o exceed_v the_o thames_n both_o in_o extent_n and_o progression_n of_o the_o tide_n these_o cause_n and_o continue_v the_o admire_a fertility_n of_o the_o country_n and_o by_o their_o greatness_n and_o contiguity_n temper_v those_o heat_n which_o the_o dry_a place_n of_o africa_n be_v subject_a to_o in_o the_o same_o degree_n of_o latitude_n up_o these_o river_n ship_n of_o three_o hundred_o tun_n fail_v near_o two_o hundred_o mile_n and_o anchor_n in_o the_o fresh_a water_n and_o by_o this_o mean_n be_v not_o trouble_v with_o those_o worm_n which_o endamage_v ship_n both_o in_o the_o western_a island_n of_o america_n and_o in_o the_o mediterraneansea_n and_o to_o avoid_v a_o large_a discourse_n of_o it_o i_o will_v here_o note_v it_o that_o our_o ship_n once_o past_o the_o land_n end_n be_v in_o no_o danger_n of_o pirate_n rock_n or_o lee-shore_n till_o they_o come_v to_o their_o port_n and_o few_o ship_n miscarry_v go_v to_o virginia_n then_o to_o any_o port_n at_o that_o distance_n in_o the_o world_n now_o for_o those_o thing_n which_o be_v natural_o in_o it_o they_o be_v these_o iron_n lead_v pitch_n tar_n mast_n timber_n for_o ship_n of_o the_o great_a magnitude_n and_o wood_n for_o pot-ash_n those_o other_o commodity_n which_o be_v produce_v by_o industry_n be_v flax_n hemp_n silk_n wheat_n barley_n oat_n rice_n cotton_n all_o sort_n of_o pulse_n and_o fruit_n the_o last_o of_o which_o in_o that_o perfection_n that_o if_o the_o taste_n be_v the_o only_a judge_n we_o will_v not_o think_v they_o be_v of_o the_o same_o species_n with_o those_o from_o which_o they_o be_v derive_v to_o we_o from_o england_n the_o vicious_a ruinous_a plant_n of_o tobacco_n i_o will_v not_o name_v but_o that_o it_o bring_v more_o money_n to_o the_o crown_n than_o all_o the_o island_n in_o america_n beside_o now_o this_o be_v ascertain_v and_o confess_v that_o such_o staple_n commodity_n as_o iron_n silk_n flax_n hemp_n and_o pot-ash_n may_v be_v easy_o raise_v in_o virginia_n a_o high_a imputation_n will_v lie_v upon_o we_o why_o we_o have_v not_o all_o this_o time_n endeavour_v to_o evidence_n the_o truth_n and_o certainty_n of_o it_o to_o our_o own_o and_o the_o public_a advantage_n to_o this_o i_o will_v answer_v that_o the_o long_a time_n of_o seat_v of_o virginia_n be_v a_o general_a and_o popular_a error_n for_o though_o the_o first_o ship_n arrive_v in_o virginia_n in_o 1606._o yet_o by_o reason_n of_o many_o almost_o insuparable_a difficulty_n the_o increase_n of_o the_o number_n of_o planter_n be_v hardly_o perceptible_a for_o first_o that_o as_o all_o uncleared_a plantation_n be_v unwholesome_a then_o all_o they_o eat_v come_v from_o england_n and_o provide_v for_o those_o they_o never_o see_v nor_o care_v for_o be_v not_o likely_a to_o be_v very_o good_a then_o the_o indian_n quick_o grow_v jealous_a of_o they_o and_o force_v they_o to_o fight_v for_o every_o foot_n of_o ground_n they_o hold_v and_o in_o the_o year_n 1622._o in_o one_o night_n murder_v all_o but_o four_o or_o five_o hundred_o so_o that_o from_o that_o time_n we_o must_v begin_v the_o account_n of_o the_o plantation_n nor_o be_v this_o all_o for_o many_o year_n after_o this_o the_o danger_n and_o scarcity_n of_o the_o inhabitant_n be_v so_o fame_v through_o england_n that_o none_o but_o such_o as_o be_v force_v can_v be_v induce_v to_o plant_v or_o defend_v the_o place_n and_o of_o those_o that_o come_v there_o be_v not_o one_o woman_n to_o thirty_o man_n and_o populus_fw-la virorum_fw-la be_v of_o no_o long_a duration_n any_o where_o but_o since_o the_o year_n 1630._o the_o place_n begin_v to_o be_v of_o more_o plenty_n and_o security_n for_o the_o indian_n though_o not_o subdue_v be_v terrify_v to_o a_o suspension_n of_o arm_n the_o planter_n than_o first_o begin_v to_o fence_v their_o ground_n and_o plant_v corn_n the_o few_o cattle_n they_o have_v increase_v to_o such_o number_n that_o they_o be_v able_a to_o help_v their_o neighbour_n plantation_n and_o now_o i_o believe_v that_o there_o be_v no_o plantation_n of_o the_o english_a will_v more_o abound_v in_o cattle_n hog_n and_o all_o sort_n of_o fruit_n than_o virginia_n if_o they_o have_v but_o a_o mean_a price_n to_o quicken_v their_o industry_n and_o make_v their_o providence_n vigilant_a an_o other_o great_a imputation_n lie_v on_o the_o country_n that_o none_o but_o those_o of_o the_o mean_a quality_n and_o corrupte_v life_n go_v thither_o this_o to_o our_o maligner_n we_o will_v easy_o grant_v if_o they_o will_v consent_v to_o the_o omen_n of_o it_o for_o be_v not_o rome_n thus_o begin_v and_o compose_v and_o the_o great_a honour_n that_o be_v give_v to_o romulus_n and_o his_o city_n be_v this_o that_o his_o severity_n and_o discipline_n in_o his_o time_n make_v they_o formidable_a to_o their_o neighbour_n and_o his_o posterity_n master_n of_o the_o world_n but_o this_o be_v not_o all_o truth_n for_o man_n of_o as_o good_a family_n as_o any_o subject_n in_o england_n have_v reside_v there_o as_o the_o percys_n the_o barkleys_n the_o west_n the_o gauge_n the_o throgmortons_n wyat_n degge_n chickeleys_n moldsworths_n morrison_n kemp_n and_o hundred_o other_o which_o i_o forhear_v to_o name_n lest_o i_o shall_v misherald_v they_o in_o the_o catalogue_n but_o grant_v it_o be_v thus_o be_v this_o any_o imputation_n to_o the_o place_n that_o those_o that_o come_v from_o hence_o with_o those_o ungoverned_a manner_n and_o affection_n change_v they_o there_o for_o sober_a and_o thrifty_a passion_n and_o desire_n which_o be_v evident_a in_o most_o that_o be_v there_o and_o those_o that_o will_v either_o experimental_o or_o moral_o weigh_v the_o nature_n and_o condition_n of_o man_n shall_v find_v that_o natural_o this_o change_n will_v follow_v the_o alteration_n of_o our_o condition_n for_o who_o experimental_o in_o england_n be_v more_o prodigal_a and_o riotous_a than_o the_o young_a brother_n of_o it_o who_o have_v least_o fond_a to_o maintain_v and_o continue_v either_o of_o they_o who_o less_o careful_a of_o their_o estate_n then_o those_o who_o early_a negligence_n have_v engage_v they_o to_o the_o usurer_n and_o the_o natural_a reason_n be_v evident_a for_o it_o be_v hope_n and_o a_o propose_a end_n that_o quicken_v our_o industry_n and_o bridle_v our_o intemperance_n but_o when_o cui_fw-la bono_fw-mi shall_v be_v object_v wretchlesnesse_n and_o a_o desire_n of_o present_a pleasure_n will_v invade_v we_o but_o this_o be_v not_o so_o in_o our_o plantation_n for_o we_o find_v there_o that_o if_o we_o will_v be_v provident_a and_o industrious_a for_o a_o year_n or_o two_o we_o may_v provide_v for_o our_o posterity_n for_o many_o age_n the_o manifest_a knowledge_n of_o this_o make_v man_n industrious_a and_o vigilant_a with_o we_o who_o here_o have_v no_o vineyard_n to_o dress_v stand_v idle_a in_o the_o marketplace_n till_o the_o eleven_o hour_n but_o we_o will_v confess_v that_o there_o be_v with_o we_o a_o great_a scarcity_n of_o good_a man_n that_o be_v of_o able_a workman_n at_o who_o door_n ought_v this_o defect_n to_o lie_v not_o at_o we_o who_o will_v procure_v they_o can_v they_o be_v persuade_v at_o high_a price_n but_o indeed_o our_o liberty_n to_o do_v good_a only_a to_o ourselves_o be_v the_o main_a obstacle_n of_o our_o progress_n to_o staple_n commodity_n in_o our_o plantation_n for_o only_o such_o servant_n as_o have_v be_v bring_v up_o to_o no_o art_n or_o trade_n
