as this people thus resolv'd the Ocean Sea to venter As was their errant so they did addresse the ships to enter Ship-owners seeing like it was their gain might holpen bee And Vndertakers with like hope to hire ships were free Close Cabbins being now prepar'd with bread biefe beere and fish The passengers prepare themselves that they may have their wish With little goods but many words aboord comes one and sayes I long to set my feet on shore where cloudy pillar stayes As high as clouds he darts his words but it is earth he wants For having past the fishing banks soon smels the gay ground plants In long boat with a scouring pace comes gentle-like attended New fashion'd by the Taylors hand one for his parts commended Master at last quoth he I 'm not with labour much inured Yet for to countenance good folk this toyl● to be endured Hee 's loath to say that men of parts to govern towns are wanting And therefore he will through the seas 'mongst others to be planting His Cabin is too strait his fare too mean for his degree Now good Sir be content a while on shore you l ' he more free Eftsoones comes clambring up the ropes one in his mind revived That hee 's no servant quoth he this was very well contrived Now I may goe where I can close with people and with Preacher But its great wages makes him close for there he needs no teacher Brief dancing on the decks doth walk another boasting sore Of godly kindred and he longs to be with them on shore These and the like may England spare but oh it 's sad to say That privatly for publick work thy Worthies went away Sage sober grave and godly men together counsell seeking At th' hand of God they fast and pray for their approved liking And will not stirre one foot but by his word and will directing So on the seas most happily they found his hand directing Now large Revennewes hinder not hoopt up in hogsheads they Transport both lands and houses too nine hundred leagues away Oh we●l away now say the poore our Benefactors going That fild our childrens mouths with bread look yonder are they rowing O woe is me another cries my Minister it s hee As sure as may be yonder he from Pursevant doth flee With trickling tears scarce uttering speech another sobbing sayes If our poore preacher shipped be hee 'l nere live halfe the way But one poore friend another cries my secret heart to plain And he and his are shipped now I 'le after him amain ' Mongst these doth Satan get a fraught Angels of light they seeming Were entertain'd among the rest as holy Saints them deeming Hardly beset on every side Gods people thus attended To troublous seas betake themselves yet by their God befriended In straits to get their goods aboord their wives and obildren small Hard to attaine a cleering thought cleerely dismist of all But God and godly friends whom they find in their hard-ships free To send and lend them help in all their great calamity The boysterous waves begin to hoyse their brittle barques on hye When suddenly the billowes breake and dash their ships awry Vnwonted to such wondrous workes the little babes complaine For harbour in their Mothers armes whom sicknesse doth constraine To sit as helplesse yea for help of others they doe cry But all sea-sicke for present all do others help deny Each corner's fill'd with goods and folke the ships large womb could bear That hot diseases breed among this crowd no roome to spare For any weake ones nor for those whose fruit was ripe for light On soundlesse depths their babes are borne ' mongst waves above ships hight Both aged weake and tender ones the seas now tumbling tosse Till they I fore'd to harbour turn'd with stormy windes being crost In western Anglia and the Isle Hibernia they bide With longing for Jehova's help who only windes doth guide As loft to lose the last long sight of their deare native soile Both back and forth the winds them drive with mickle restlesse toyle But being once in Ocean large where depths the earth wide sever Returne no more though winds them crosse to end their course indere In unknown depths and pathlesse Seas there nights and days they spend ' Mongst stormy winds mountain waves long time no land they kend At ships mast doth Christs Pastors preach while waves like Prelats proud Would sling them from their pulpits place as not by them allow'd The swelling surges raging come to stop their mouths with fome For publishing of every truth that by Gods word is known But Christ as once so now sayes peace waves and be still For all their height they fall downe flat obey they must his will And now the Seas like medowes greene whose ground and grasse even are Doth gently lead their ships as sheep from place to place afar Who would not wait on such a God that heaven earth seas commands To serve his folke then serve him folke conducted by his hand For forty fifty sixty dayes and nights they safely swim Preparing oft for fight at sight of ships that pirats been Long looke'd for land at length the eye unknown yet owne they will To plant therein new Collonies wide wildernesse to fill Of the arrivall of our English Nation at the Mattachusets Bay c. WIth hearts revived in conceit new land and trees they eye Senting the Caedars and sweet ferne from heats reflection drye Much like the bird from dolsome Romes inclos'd in cage of wyre Set forth in fragrant fields doth skip in hope of her desire So leap the hearts of these mixt men by streights o're seat inured To following hard ships wildernesse doth force to be endured In clipping armes of ont-stretcht Capes there ships now gliding enter In bay where many little Isles doe stand in waters Center Where Sea-calves with their hairy heads gaze 'bove the waters brim Wondring to see such unconth sights their sporting place to swim The seas vast length makes welcome shores unto this wandring race Who now found footing freely for Christs Church his resting place This people landing soonly shewd diversity of minds As various heads so actions did declare their divers kinds Now patience John give eare a while unto a briefe digression The better shalt thou understand the following progression Diversity of censure have past on this people why Most judge the whole by lesser part and parts run much awry By parts the giver nor to part and thou a part shalt see To be partakers with the truth in hearts simplicity Yet further let me mind thee more from Satans sullin fits Great rancour doth against them rise enlarg'd by divers wits Yea male-contents none well content but discontentedly They breath out ill being crost in will to all lamentingly But now let 's on my honest John to land this people came ' Mongst trees and men that naked been whom labour did not tame Small entrance

Good news from NEVV-ENGLAND WITH An exact relation of the first planting that Countrey A description of the profits accruing by the Worke. Together with a briefe but true discovery of their Order both in Church and Common-wealth and maintenance allowed the painfull Labourers in that Vineyard of the LORD WITH The names of the severall Towns and who be Preachers to THEM LONDON Printed by Matthew Simmons 1648. A New Relation by Observation and serious Cogitation touching the Transplantation of our English Nation TO spend no time in complement honest John cast not away these lines because the meeter and rusticall harmony rings but rudely without rhetorick let me lead thy affections to these following premises suppose thou see thy face not so amiable as thy fancy deemes it to be fling not furiously to breake the glasse moderate thy anger and I have my desire Misse not my meaning by turning my discourse to personate any but many It s past my intention to lessen or inlarge for favour or affection Applause I looke not for some Latine and Eloquent phrases I have pickt from others as commonly clowns use to doe yet be sure I am not in jest for the subject I write of requires in many particulars the most solemn and serious meditation that ever any of like nature have done Favour my clown-ship if I prove too harsh and I shall remaine yours Of the reasons moving this people to transplant themselves and Families to those remote parts THe great Jehova's working word effecting wondrously This earths vast globe those parts unknown to civill people by Columbus or Alkmerricus by providence direction Found out this Western world with store of mettels cleer extraction The Spanish project working well tooke sudden such impression In minds of many Europe held who fell to like progression It 's strange to see the Spanish fleete so many should provoke In English searching for like prize they are vanisht into smoake Yet these undaunted hearts stir'd up a Colony to plant Hight Nova Anglia for which they gain'd a patten grant Now all ancient seild and read in lands new population No parallell like this I deeme you 'l finde in any Nation These people now begin with care to vese and plot each man That heares of this new Colony with diligence doth scan Such motives as he hath in Eye one he desires land Quoth he I see here landed men in reputation stand Hundreds and thousands I have not to purchase but I will Through seas much wood-land to atchieve and medow ground my fill Vp starts another from a sad and serious contemplation How he a Gentleman might be good man is his vexation House implements being turn'd to coyne his cloath of fashion new To ship he hyes much welcome Sir for none his person knew New rais'd from sleepe another cries my earnings are but small I 'le venter to this new-found world and make amends for all In hast halfe breathlesse running comes a man with longing sore For novelties of new-found lands the Seas he would leap o're His kindreds letters looking in ha ha here 's newes indeed From Brothers Sisters Vncles Aunts I 'le ship my selfe with speed These but the straglers now remaines the chiefest troopes to eye Truth 't is their standard of resort was Christianity Couragious Captaines leading on their coynes and lands ' way throwing Made many Souldiers follow fast their bands in number growing When England by Elizabeth began a Reformation It was a joyfull day to all the godly of that Nation Proh Dolor it did not goe on with joyfull acclamation But hirarchy and lordly throne of Prelacy invading The government of Christs deare flocke then godlinesse was fading Some men impute it to the pride of Bishops others say The loosenesse of the Laity did carry most away But sure it is that godlinesse and purities deriding Mov'd many godly ones to seek a place of new abiding Proud Bishops skil'd in policie of machivilian learning Fore-saw their pomp would fall to ground by Scripture cleer discerning New fangled fetches were devis'd for soone intrapping those Who to the people faithfully truth wholly did disclose While things thus craftly were contriv'd Preachers to prisons packe The Bishops Courts were fill'd with worke and consciences on racke Come sirrah quoth the Commissary you will no Surplice weare Nor yet proclaime our Sunday sports a Puritan I feare You are and shall no more preach forth to people stir to reare Against my Lords grace I know well your preaching doth him scare And to another as for you your faction is so much Whole townes run from their Parish Church to heare your word are such As for to overthrow my Lord and his commanding power If I live in this Diocesse you shall not stand one houre In midst of all these wofull stirs grave godly men sit musing How they their talents might improve to honour God in using Nine hundred leagues of roaring seas dishearten feeble parts Till cruell handling hasten on and God doth strengthen hearts Come quoth the husband my deare wife canst thou the seas endure With all our young and tender babes let 's put our faith in ure With watry eyes the wife replies what remedie remaines Forsaking all for Christ his sake will prove the greatest gaines From in-land parts poore Christians packe to Sea-ports ships to enter A wonderment in streets they passe dividing their strange venter What meane these mad men soone sayes one witlesse to run away From English beere to water where no hoone companions stay But it s the Surplice scares them hence the Tippet and the Crosse Nay more they feare my Lords grace here will bring againe the masse Yea further I have heard of late our Puritans much wonder Because our Metropolitan intends to bring them under Thus passe the people to their ships some grieve they should goe free But make them sweare and search them bare taking what coyne they see Now Satan seeing God had crost his minde in making way For 's people and his Pastors too in wildernesse to stay Fearing Christs Kingdom would encrease and his to ground be falling Stirs up fresh instruments like sheepe that wolfishly were haling Proud errour brochers these croud in for liberty pretending The overthrow of Romish trash their words against it bending Quoth one here none but Scholler may in pulpit be a Preacher Pleship my selfe for sure I am full gifted for a Teacher Vp starts another from a crowd of women her admiring An able tongue in Scripture learn'd to preach forsooth desiring With revelations strange yet true as Scripture them accounting Another comes to ship himselfe in knowledge all surmounting ' Gainst Magistrates another cries none such on earth should stand I 'le venture o're the broadest Seas for freedome from their hand Thus diver sly dispos'd doe people pack up away To populate new Collonies where none but Heathen
