ought to perseuere if otherwise yet their honour ingageth them to be constan● howsoeuer they stand affected here is enough to content them These are the things haue animated me to stay a little season from them I am bound in conscience to returne vnto leauing all contenting pleasures and mundall delights to reside here with much turmoile which I will rather doe than see Gods glory diminished my King and Count●y dishonoured and these poore soules I haue in charge reuiued which would quickly happen if I should leaue them so few I haue with me fit to command or manage the businesse Master Whitaker their Preacher complaineth and much museth that so few of our English Ministers that were so hot against the surplice and subscription come hether where neither is spoken of Doe they not wilfully hide their talents or keepe themselues at home for feare of losing a few pleasures be there not any among them of Moses his minde and of the Apostles that forsooke all to follow Christ but I refer them to the Iudge of all hearts and to the King that shall reward euery one according to his talent From Virginia Iune 18. 1614. The businesse being brought to this perfection Captaine Arga●l returned for England in the latter end of Iune 1614. ariuing in England and bringing this good tidings to the Councell and company by the assistances of Sir Thomas Gates th●t also had returned from Virginia but the March before it was presently concluded that to supply this good successe with all expedition the standing Lottery should be drawne with all diligent conueniency and that posterity may remember vpon occasion to vse the like according to the declaration I thinke it not amisse to remember thus much The Contents of the declaration of the Lottery published by the Counsell IT is apparent to the world by how many former Proclamations we manifested our intents to haue drawn out the great standing Lottery long before this which not falling out as we desired and others expected whose monies are aduentured ther●in we thought good therefore for the auoiding all vniust and sinister constructions to resolue the doubts of all indifferent minded in three speciall points for their better satisfaction But ere I goe any farther let vs remember there was a running Lottery vsed a long time in Saint Pauls Church-yard where this stood that brought into the Treasury good summes of mony dayly though the Lot was but small Now for the points the first is for as much as the Aduenturers came in so slackly for the yeere past without preiudice to the generality in losing the blankes and prises we were forced to petition to the honourable Lords who out of their noble care to further this Plantation haue recommended their Letters to the Countries Cities and good townes in England which we hope by sending in their voluntary Aduenturers will sufficiently supply vs. The second for satisfaction to all honest well affected minds is that though this expectation answer not our hopes yet wee haue not failed in our Christian care the good of that Colony to whom we haue lately sent two sundry supplies and were they but now supplied with more hands wee should soone resolue the diuision of the Country by Lot and so lessen the generall charge The third is our constant resolution that seeing our credits are so farre ingaged to the honourable Lords and the whole State for the drawing this great Lottery which we intend shall be without delay the 26. of Iune next desiring all such as haue vndertaken with bookes to solicit their friends that they will not with-hold their monies till the last moneth be expired lest we be vnwillingly forced to proportion a lesse value and number of our Blankes and Prises which hereafter followeth Welcomes TO him that first shall be drawne out with a blanke 100 Crownes To the second 50 Crownes To the third 25 Crownes To him that euery day during the drawing of this Lottery shall bee

Captaine Iames Dauis the gouernor immediatly gaue them one but he was no sooner in the boat but away they went with him leauing three of their companions behind them this sudden accident occasioned some distrust and a strict examination of those three thus left yet with as good vsage as our estate could afford them They only confessed hauing lost their Admirall accident had forced them into those parts and two of them were Captaines and in chi●fe authority
