furthering of so commendable a purpose thereafter they sent away two Fathers of their company with a new supply of all things necessarie to the Plantation at Port Royall but shortly after their arriuall their predominant disposition hardly yeelding to any Superiour specially if it be a Secular power they be-beganne to contradict Poutrincourt in the execution of these Decrees which had beene giuen forth by him as Ciuil Magistrate of that place Whereupon the Gentleman extreamely discontented and wearie of contesting with them hauing said that it was his part to rule them vpon earth and theirs onely to guide him the way to Heauen he returned backe to France leauing his Sonne Biencourt in his place who being a youth at that time of more courage then circumspectnesse disdayning to be controlled by them whom he had inuited thither and scorning their insupportable presumption and imperious kinde of carriage vsing Spirituall Armes for Temporall ends whose spleene had excommunicated and branded him with a Spirituall censure hee threatned them by his Temporall power with a more palpable punishment so that after much controuersie resoluing to separate themselues the two Iesuites taking a part of the company with them went from thence to a place in New England called by them Mount Desert where they seated themselues and hauing a supply from the Queene Mother did plant sundry fruit trees of the most delicate kinds in France such as Apricockes and Peaches neuer intending to remoue from thence At this time Sir Samuell Argall who hath beene Gouernour of Virginia coasting alongst New England to traffique discouer or to acquire things necessary for the Southerne Colonie in these parts where the Lands are reputed to be more fertile and the Seas more frequented did conceiue by a description made vnto him by the Sauages that there were some come from this part of the World to inhabit there and being iealous of any thing that might derogate from the honour or prooue preiudiciall to the benefit of his Nation whereof their interest in this was easie to be apprehended hee went whereas hee was informed that they were and his vnexpected arriuall as it would seeme not onely amazing the mindes of the French but likewise preuenting their preparation and resolution he approched to neere to a ship that lay before their Fort that hee beate them all that were within with Musket shot from making any vse of their Ordnance and killed one of the two Iesuites who was giuing fire to a Peece hauing taken the ship he landed and went before the Fort summoning them that were within to yeeld themselues who at the first made some difficultie asking a time to aduise but that being refused they priuately abandoned the Fort stealing out by some back way into the Woods where they stayed one night and the next day comming backe rendred themselues giuing vp the Patent they had from the French King to bee cancelled hee vsed them courteously as their owne Writers doe make mention suffering such as had a minde to goe for France to seeke out fi●hers ships wherein they might bee transported the rest that were willing to goe for Virginia went thither alongst with him no man hauing lost his life but onely that one Iesuite who was killed whilest they made resistance during the time of the conflict thereafter Father Biard the other of the Iesuites comming backe from Virginia with Sir Samuell Argall out of the indigestable malice that he had conceiued against Biencourt did informe him where he had planted himselfe offering as hee did to conduct him thither As soone as they were entred within the Port neere the vppermost of the Ilands Sir Samuell directing the ship to ride at a reasonable distance to attend occasions before the Fort did land himselfe with fortie of the best of his men vpon a Medow where immediatly they heard a Peece of Ordnance from the Fort and he conceiuing since it was shot whilst it could do no harme that it was done either but to giue terrour to them or to warne some that might happen to bee abroad Did make the greater haste towardes the Fort where hee presently entred finding it abandoned without any men at all left for the defence thereof hee went vp the Riuer side fiue or sixe miles where hee saw their Barnes and the ground where a great quantitie of Wheate had growne which he carried with him to serue for Seed in Virginia he saw likewise their Corne Mill very conueniently placed which together with the Barnes hee left standing vntouched As for the Fort it selfe he destroyed it downe to the ground razing the French Armes and leauing no monument remayning that might wi●nesse their being there After this Biencourt who had beene some where abroad trauelling through the Countrey comming home desired to conferre with Sir Samuell Argall who did meete with him apart from the Company vpon a Medow and after they had expostulated a space for what had past controuerting concerning the French and English Title to these bounds at last Biencourt offered if hee might haue a protection to depend vpon our King and to draw the whole Furres of that Countrey to one Port where he would diuide them with him As likewise he would shew him good Metalls whereof hee gaue him pieces but the other refused to ioyne in any societie with him protesting that his Commission was onely to displant him and that if hee found him there after that time hee would vse him as an enemy Biencourt labouring earnestly to haue had the Iesuit as he confessed with a purpose to hang him Whilst they were discoursing together one of the Sauages came suddenly forth from the Woods and licentiated to come neere did after his manner earnestly mediate a peace wondring why they that seemed to bee of one Countrey should vse others with such hostilitie and that with such a forme of habit and gesture as made them both to laugh After this Biencourt remocuing from thence to some other part Monsieur Champlein who had liued long here did carrie a company with him from France of some fortie persons or thereabouts vp the Riuer of Canada whom hee planted on the North side thereof with a purpose to serue for a Factorie drawing all the Trade of that farre running Riuer which a Plantation would haue dispersed in many parts within the hands of a few whom he doth command otherwise if his desires had beene bended that way hee might haue planted many people there ere now the place is called Kebeck where the French doe prosper well hauing Corne by their owne labour which may furnish themselues for food and likewise for a stocke to traffique with the Sauages with sundry Fruits Roots Vine Grapes and Turkie Wheate Champlein hath discouered the Riuer of Canada from the Gulfe vpwards aboue twelue hundred miles finding in it sometimes such falles as to scape the same he must carrie his Boate a little way by Land and then hee did many times come to great Lakes
