Anguilla vpon St. Lukes day where I thinke neuer Englishmā dissembogued before vs for we found all our Sea-charts false concerning that place those broken Islands being placed therein to the Southward of Anguilla betwene it and St. Martins and wee found them scituat to the Northward thereof When wee had cleered our selues of the broken Islands wee stood away North-East shaping our course the neerest way wee could for Flores and Corues and so continued with faire weather the winde still mending vpon vs vntill the thirtieth day of October about twelue of the clocke that day there began a storme with contrarie windes still variable which continued vntill 4. the next day in the afternoone In this storme wee lost the company of the Pinnesse in the night but had fight of her againe vpon the fourth of Nouember late in the euening and the next day shee came vp vnto vs at two of the clocke in the afternoone Then the winde came faire at West and wee steered away East by North and E. N. Eastamong The seauenth of Nouember I relieued the Pinnesse with more bread and left her to follow after vs not being able to keepe way with vs before the winde which then blew strongly at West for I was very vnwilling to loose the benefit of a speedy passage which the cōtinuāce of that faire winde was like to afford vs. And so following our course on the eleuenth day in the morning we had sight of Fayal one of the Islands of the Terceras which we left on our starboord side and steered away for England the winde continuing faire vntill the twenty foure day But then it changed first to the East by North and then to the East south-east and became so violent and furious that for three daies space we were not able to beare out saile but did driue before the winde at the least three leagues a watch out of our course and the first land wee made was Cape Cleere in the South-west part of Ireland where against our wils we arriued at Crooke Hauen the twenty nine of Nouember Our arriuall there at that present was happy for vs considering our extreame wants and great necessities for of all our store we had remaining but one hogshed of water halfe a hogshed of beuerage all our beere being spent and wasted by leakage sixe peeces of beefe and three of Porke which was all our prouision we had neither fish butter oyle cheese nor pease left to relieue vs whereby we had fallen into a lamentable distresse if almighty God had not in time brought vs vnto this harbour where we supplied our wants by the helpe of Captaine Reignolds commander of his Maiesties Pinnesse called the Moone whom we fortunately met there altogether vnexpected But the winde continuing contrary at the East and like to hold still in that corner presaged new wants to insue if a speedy remedy was not prouided To preuent the worst I resolued to goe by land to Yoghall neere vnto which place remained some friends and acquaintance of mine by whom I might prouide my selfe of meanes to defray my charge vntill my returne into England and therefore gaue commandement to the master of my shippe to wage a Pilot and vpon the first shift of winde if it fauoured him in any time to bring the shippe about to Yoghall where I ment to abide his comming resoluing thence to goe for Bristol And I appointed if the winde did hold against him to send him mony to supplie their victuals vntill it pleased God to alter it but he regarding his owne priuate ends more then my commaund and direction vpon the first shift of wind went away with my shippe without my knowledge to Dartmouth in the west Country and left me behind in Ireland whereof as soone as I had intelligence I presently tooke the opertunitie of a speedy passage in a barke then reddy bound for Bristol and so the next morning being the fifteenth of December I departed from Yoghall and arriued at Bristol the seuententh day My Pinnesse which we left at Sea to follow after vs was likewise by the aforesaid storme driuen into the west of Ireland to a place caled Dingen le Coushe and there remained along time wind-bound but at the last by Gods permission arriued at Bristol the second day of February During the time of my voyage we left but one land-man who died in Guiana and one sailer and an Indian boy who died at Sea in our returne and during the space of these three yeares last past since the voiage of all the men which I left in the country being in number about thirty there died but six whereof one was drowned another was an old man of threescore yeeres of age and another tooke his death by his owne disorder the rest died of sicknes as pleased God the giuer of life for which small losse his holy name be blessed now and euer Hauing thus most noble Prince declared the whole course of my voiage to Guiana performed in the yeare of our Lord 1609. I hold it needefull for the better satisfaction of the fauourers and wel-willers of this action by adding of a speciall note or two and by a briefe reremembrance of some points mentioned in the former discourse to expresse the worthinesse of the enterprise being of importance and not to bee regarded lightly In euery forraine action vndertaken by the subiects of a Christian Prince they ought to haue especiall regard to three principall ends and designes First that it may bee for the glory of God Secondly for the honour of their Soueraigne Thirdly for the benefit and profit of their Countrey Which three principall ends and intendements if they faithfully prosecute and labour to aduance with constant resolution they shall infallibly bring their vndertakings to blessed prosperous and honorable end And now if it shall appeare that this enterprise for discouery and plantation in Guiana is chiefely grounded vpon these three designes I hope there is not any man bee hee neuer so malitious and full of enuy that can with iust exp●●●tions scandalise it or worthily contemne it First then for the glory of God it hath been and euer will bee held cleere and vnquestionable that God cannot be more honoured nor his holy name by any meanes more glorified then by the prosperous grouth and happy increase of his Church through the conuersion of those that bee heathen and barbarous Nations to the knowledge of him our true God his Sonne Iesus Christ and the holy Ghost the blessed indiuiduall Trinity and to the profession and practise of Christianity which heauenly and euer memorable worke may through Gods good blessing and assistance without which indeede all our trauell therein and all the labour of the world is but lost bee easily effected and accomplished in Guiana the people thereof being of a louing and tractable nature towards the English whom they loue and preferre before all other strangers
