cap_n and_o do_v wear_v none_o at_o all_o in_o the_o day_n time_n and_o whereas_o beforetime_n i_o clothe_v myself_o with_o double_a clothes_n and_o thick_a waistcoat_n to_o keep_v i_o warm_v even_o

physic_n in_o new-england_n for_o a_o sup_n of_o new-englands_n air_n be_v better_a than_o a_o whole_a draught_n of_o old_a england_n ale_n in_o the_o summer_n time_n in_o the_o midst_n of_o july_n and_o august_n it_o be_v a_o good_a deal_n hot_a than_o in_o old_a england_n and_o in_o winter_n january_n and_o february_n be_v much_o cold_a as_o they_o say_v but_o the_o spring_n and_o autumn_n be_v of_o a_o middle_a temper_n fowl_n of_o the_o air_n be_v plentiful_a here_o and_o of_o all_o sort_n as_o we_o have_v in_o england_n as_o far_o as_o i_o can_v learn_v and_o a_o great_a many_o of_o strange_a fowl_n which_o we_o know_v not_o whilst_o i_o be_v write_v these_o thing_n one_o of_o our_o man_n bring_v home_o a_o eagle_n which_o he_o have_v kill_v in_o the_o wood_n they_o say_v they_o be_v good_a meat_n also_o here_o be_v many_o kind_n of_o excellent_a hawk_n both_o sea_n hawkes_n and_o land_n hawk_n and_o myself_o walk_v in_o the_o wood_n with_o another_o in_o company_n spring_v a_o partridge_n so_o big_a that_o through_o the_o heaviness_n of_o his_o body_n can_v fly_v but_o a_o little_a way_n they_o that_o have_v kill_v they_o say_v they_o be_v as_o big_a as_o our_o hen_n here_o be_v likewise_o abundance_n of_o turkey_n often_o kill_v in_o the_o wood_n far_o great_a than_o our_o english_a turkey_n and_o exceed_v fat_a sweet_a and_o fleshy_a for_o here_o they_o have_v abundance_n of_o feed_v all_o the_o year_n long_o as_o strawberry_n in_o summer_n all_o place_n be_v full_a of_o they_o and_o all_o manner_n of_o berry_n and_o fruit_n in_o the_o winter_n time_n i_o have_v see_v flock_n of_o pigeon_n and_o have_v eat_v of_o they_o they_o do_v fly_v from_o tree_n to_o tree_n as_o other_o bird_n do_v which_o our_o pigeon_n will_v not_o do_v in_o england_n they_o be_v of_o all_o colour_n as_o we_o be_v but_o their_o wing_n and_o tail_n be_v far_o long_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v likely_a they_o fly_v swift_a to_o escape_v the_o terrible_a hawk_n in_o this_o country_n in_o winter_n time_n this_o country_n do_v abound_v with_o wild_a goose_n wild_a duck_n and_o other_o sea_n fowle_n that_o a_o great_a part_n of_o winter_n the_o planter_n have_v eat_v nothing_o but_o roastmeat_n of_o diverse_a fowl_n which_o they_o have_v kill_v thus_o you_o have_v hear_v of_o the_o earth_n water_n and_o air_n of_o new-england_n now_o it_o may_v be_v you_o expect_v something_o to_o be_v say_v of_o the_o fire_n proportionable_a to_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o element_n indeed_o i_o think_v new-england_n may_v boast_v of_o this_o element_n more_o than_o of_o all_o the_o rest_n for_o though_o it_o be_v heresomewhat_o cold_a in_o the_o winter_n yet_o here_o we_o have_v plenty_n of_o fire_n to_o warm_v we_o and_o that_o a_o great_a deal_n cheap_a than_o they_o sell_v billet_n and_o faggot_n in_o london_n nay_o all_o europe_n be_v not_o able_a to_o afford_v to_o make_v so_o great_a fire_n as_o new-england_n a_o poor_a servant_n here_o that_o be_v to_o possess_v but_o 50_o acre_n of_o land_n may_v afford_v to_o give_v more_o wood_n for_o timber_n &_o fire_n as_o good_a as_o the_o world_n yield_v than_o many_o noble_a man_n in_o england_n can_v afford_v to_o do_v here_o be_v good_a live_n for_o those_o that_o love_v good_a fire_n and_o although_o new-england_n have_v no_o tallow_n to_o make_v candle_n of_o yet_o by_o the_o abundance_n of_o the_o fish_n thereof_o it_o can_v afford_v oil_n for_o lamp_n yea_o our_o pine-tree_n that_o be_v the_o most_o plentiful_a of_o all_o wood_n do_v allow_v we_o plenty_n of_o candle_n which_o be_v very_o useful_a in_o a_o house_n and_o they_o be_v such_o candle_n as_o the_o indian_n common_o use_v have_v no_o other_o and_o they_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o the_o wood_n of_o the_o pine_n tree_n cleave_v in_o two_o little_a slice_n something_a thin_a which_o be_v so_o full_a of_o the_o moisture_n of_o turpentine_n and_o pitch_n that_o they_o burn_v as_o clear_a as_o a_o torch_n i_o have_v send_v you_o some_o of_o they_o that_o you_o may_v see_v the_o experience_n of_o they_o thus_o of_o new-englands_n commodity_n now_o i_o will_v tell_v you_o of_o some_o discommodity_n that_o be_v here_o to_o be_v find_v first_o in_o the_o summer_n season_n for_o these_o three_o month_n june_n july_n and_o august_n we_o be_v trouble_v much_o with_o little_a fly_n call_v musketoe_n be_v the_o same_o they_o be_v trouble_v with_o in_o lincolneshiere_n and_o the_o fen_n and_o they_o be_v nothing_o but_o gnat_n which_o except_o they_o be_v smoke_v out_o of_o their_o house_n be_v troublesome_a in_o the_o night_n season_n second_o in_o the_o winter_n season_n for_o two_o month_n space_n the_o earth_n be_v common_o cover_v with_o snow_n which_o be_v accompany_v with_o sharp_a bite_a frost_n something_o more_o sharp_a than_o be_v in_o old_a england_n and_o therefore_o be_v force_v to_o make_v great_a fire_n three_o this_o country_n be_v very_o full_a of_o wood_n and_o wilderness_n do_v also_o much_o abound_v with_o snake_n and_o serpent_n of_o strange_a colour_n and_o huge_a greatness_n yea_o there_o be_v some_o serpent_n call_v rattle-snake_n that_o have_v rattle_n in_o their_o tail_n that_o will_v not_o fly_v from_o a_o man_n as_o other_o will_n but_o will_v fly_v upon_o he_o and_o sting_v he_o so_o mortal_o that_o he_o will_v die_v within_o a_o quarter_n of_o a_o hour_n after_o except_o the_o party_n stinge_v have_v about_o he_o some_o of_o the_o root_n of_o a_o herb_n call_v snake_n weed_n to_o bite_v on_o and_o then_o he_o shall_v receive_v no_o harm_n but_o yet_o seldom_o fall_v it_o out_o that_o any_o hurt_n be_v do_v by_o these_o about_o three_o year_n since_o a_o indian_a be_v sting_v to_o death_n by_o one_o of_o they_o but_o we_o hear_v of_o none_o since_o that_o time_n four_o and_o last_o here_o want_v as_o yet_o the_o good_a company_n of_o honest_a christian_n to_o bring_v with_o they_o horse_n cow_n and_o sheep_n to_o make_v use_n of_o this_o fruitful_a land_n great_a pity_n it_o be_v to_o see_v so_o much_o good_a ground_n for_o corn_n and_o for_o grass_n as_o any_o be_v under_o the_o heaven_n to_o lie_v altogether_o unoccupy_v when_o so_o many_o honest_a man_n and_o their_o family_n in_o old_a england_n through_o the_o populousnesse_n thereof_o do_v make_v very_o hard_a shift_n to_o live_v one_o by_o the_o other_o now_o thus_o you_o know_v what_o new-england_n be_v as_o also_o with_o the_o commodity_n and_o discommodity_n thereof_o now_o i_o will_v show_v you_o a_o little_a of_o the_o inhabitant_n thereof_o and_o their_o government_n for_o their_o governor_n they_o have_v king_n which_o they_o call_v saggamore_n some_o great_a and_o some_o lesser_a according_a to_o the_o number_n of_o their_o subject_n the_o great_a

their_o subject_n above_o twelve_o year_n since_o be_v sweep_v away_o by_o a_o great_a &_o grievous_a plague_n that_o be_v among_o they_o so_o that_o there_o be_v very_o few_o leave_v to_o inhabit_v the_o country_n the_o indian_n be_v not_o able_a to_o make_v use_n of_o the_o one_o four_o part_n of_o the_o land_n neither_o have_v they_o any_o settle_a place_n as_o town_n to_o dwell_v in_o nor_o
