The first Booke Containing the originall of the Natives their manners Customes with their tractable nature and love towards the English CHAP. I. Prooving Nevv England the principall part of all America and most commodious and fitt for habitation THe wise Creator of the universall Globe hath placed a golden meane betwixt two extreames I meane the temperate Zones betwixt the hote and cold and every Creature that participates of Heavens blessings with in the Compasse of that golden meane is made most apt and fit for man to use who likewise by that wisedome is ordained to be the Lord of all This globe may be his glasse to teach him how to use moderation and discretion both in his actions and intentions The wise man sayes give mee neither riches nor poverty why Riches might make him proud like Nebuchadnezar and poverty despaire like Iobs wife but a meane betweene both So it is likewise in the use of Vegetatives that which hath too much Heate or too much Colde is said to be venenum so in the use of sensitives all those Animals of what genus or species soever they be if they participate of heate or cold in the superlative are said to be Inimica naturae as in some Fishes about the Isle of Sall and those Ilandes adjoyninge betweene the Tropickes their participatinge of heate and cold in the superlative is made most manifest one of which poysoned a whole Ships company that eate of it And so it is in Vipers Toades and Snakes that have heate or cold in the superlative degree Therefore the Creatures that participate of heate and cold in a meane are best and holsomest And so it is in the choyse of love the middell Zone betweene the two extreames is best and it is the●efore called Zona Temperata and is in the golden meane and all those Landes lying under that Zone most requisite and fitt for habitation In Cosmography the tw● extreames are called the one Torrida Zona lying betweene the Tropickes the other Frigida Zona lyin● neare the Poles all the landes lying under eithe● of these Zones by reason they doe participate to much of heate or cold are very inconvenient and are accompanied with many evils And allthough I am not of opinion with Aristotle that the landes under Torrida Zona are alltogether uninhabited I my selfe having beene so neare the equinoctiall line that I have had the Sunn for my Zenith and seene proofe to the contrary yet cannot I deny but that it is accompanied with many inconveniences as that Fish and Flesh both will taint in those partes notwithstanding the use of Salt which cannot be wanting there ordained by natures hande-worke And that is a great hinderance to the settinge forth and supply of navigation the very Sinewes of a florishing Common-wealth Then barrennesse caused through want of raines for in most of those partes of the world it is seldome accustomed to raine untill the time of the Tornathees as the Portingals phrase is who lived there and then it will raine about 40. dayes together which moisture serveth to fructify the earth for all the yeare after duringe which time is seene no raine at all the heate and cold and length of day and night being much alike with little difference And these raines are caused by the turning of the windes which else betweene the Tropickes doe blow Trade that is allwayes one way For next the Tropicke of Cancer it is constantly North-●ast and next the Tropicke of Capricorne it is Southwest so that the windes comming from the Poles do keepe the aire in those partes coole and make it temperate and the partes habitable were it not for those and other inconv●niences This Torrida Zona is good for Grashoppers and Zona Temperata for the Ant and Bee But Frigida Zona good for neither as by lamentable experience of Captaine Davis Fate is manifest who in his inquest of the Nortwest passage for the East India trade was frozen to death And thefore for Frigida Zona I agree with Aristotle that it is unfit for habitation and I know by the Course of the caelestiall globe that in Groeneland many Degrees short of the Pole Articke the place is too cold by reason of the Sunns absence almost six monethes and the land under the continuall power of the frost which thinge many more Navigators have prooved with pittifull experience of their wintringe there as appeareth by the history I thinke they will not venture to winter there againe for an India mine And as it is found by our Nation under the Pole Articke so it is likewise to be found under the Antarticke Pole yet what hazard will not an industrious minde and couragious spirit undergoe according to that of the Poēt Impiger extremos currit Mercator ad Indos per mare pauperiem fugiens per saxa per ignes And all to gett and hord up like the Ant and the Bee and yet as Salomon saith hee cannot tell whether a foole or a wise man shall enjoy it Therefore let us leave these two extreames with their inconveniences and indeavour to finde out this golden meane so free from any one of them Behold the secret wisedome of allmighty God and love unto our Salomon to raise a man of a lardge hart full of worthy abilities to be the Index or Loadstarre that doth point out unto the English Nation with ease and comfort how to finde it out And this the noble minded Gentleman Sir Ferdinando Gorges Knight zealous for the glory of God the honor of his Majesty and the benefit of the weale publicke hath done a great worke for the good of his Country And herein this the wondrous wisedome and love of God is shewne by sending to the place his Minister to sweepe away by heapes the Salvages and also giving him length of dayes to see the same performed after his enterprise was begunne for the propagation of the Church of Christ. This judicious Gentleman hath found this goulden meane to be scituated about the middle of those two extreames and for directions you may proove it thus Counting the space betweene the Line and either of the Poles in true proportion you shall finde it to be 90. Degrees then must we finde the meane to be neare unto the Center of 90. and that is about 45. Degrees and then incline unto the Sotherne side of that Center properly for the benefit of heate remembringe that Sol Homo generat hominem and then keepe us on that same side and see what Land is to be found there and we shall easily discerne that new England is on the South side of that Center For that Country doth beginne her boundes at 40. Degrees of Northerne latitude and endes at 45. Degrees of the same latitude and doth participate of heate and cold indifferently but is oppressed with neither and therefore may be truly sayd to be within the compasse of that golden

meane most apt and fit for habitation and generation being placed by Allmighty God the great Creator under that Zone called Zona temperata and is therefore most fitt for the generation and habitation of our English nation of all other who are more neere neighbours to the Northerne Pole whose Land lyeth betweene 50. and 54. Degrees of the selfesame latitude now this new ●ngland though it be nearer to the line then that old England by 10. Degrees of latitude yet doth not this exceede that other in heate or cold by reason of the cituation of it for as the Coast lyeth being circularly Northeast and Southwest opposite towards the Sunnes risinge which makes his course over the Ocean it can have litle or no reflecting heat of the Sun-beames by reason of the continuall motion of the waters makinge the aire there the cooler and the constanter so that for the temperature of the Climent sweetnesse of the aire fertility of the Soile and small number of the Salvages which might seeme a rubb in the way off an effeminate minde this Country of new England is by all judicious men accounted the principall part of all America for habitation and the commodiousnesse of the Sea Ships there not being subject to wormes as in Virginea and other places and not to be paraleld in all Christendome The Massachussets being the middell part thereof is a very beautifull Land not mountany nor inclininge to mountany lyeth in 42. Degrees and 30. minutes and hath as yet the greatest number of inhabitants and hath a very large bay to it divided by Islands into 4. great bayes where shippinge may safely ride all windes and weathers the windes in those partes being not so violent as in England by many Degrees foe there are no shrubbs seene to leane from the windes as by the Sea Coast of England I have seene them leane and the groundage is a sandy sleech free from rockes to gaule Cables but is good for anchorage the rest of the Planters are disperst among the Coasts betweene 41. and 44. Degrees of Latitude and as yet have very little way into the iland the riches of which Country I have set forth in this abstract as in a Landskipp for the better information of the Travellers which hee may peruse and plainely perceave by the demonstration of it that it is nothing inferior to Canaan of Israel but a kind of paralell to it in all points CHAP. II. Of the originall of the Natives IN the yeare since the incarnation of Christ 1622. it was my chance to be landed in the parts of New England where I found two sortes of people the one Christians the other Infidels these I found most full of humanity and more friendly then the other as shall hereafter be made apparant in Dew-Course by their severall actions from time to time whilest I lived among them After my arrivall in those partes I endeavoured by all the wayes and meanes that I could to find out from what people or nation the Natives of New England might be conjectured originlly to proceede by continuance conversation amongst them I attaned to so much of their language as by all probable conjecture may make the same manifest for it hath been found by divers and those of good judgement that the Natives of this Country doe use very many wordes both of Greeke and Latine to the same signification that the Latins and Greekes have done as en animia when an Indian expresseth that hee doth any thing with a good will and Pascopan signifieth gredy gut this being the name of an Indian that was so called of a Child through the greedinesse of his minde and much eating for Pasco in Latine signifieth to feede and Pan in Greeke signifieth all and Pasco nantum quasi pasco nondum halfe starved or not eating as yet Equa coge set it upright Mona is an Island in their language quasi Monon that is alone for an Island is a peece or plott of ground standing alone and devided from the mane Land by force of water Cos is a Whetstone with them Hame an instrument to take Fish many places doe retaine the name of Pan as Pantneket and Matta pan so that it may be thought that these people heretofore have ha● the name of Pan in great reverence and estimation and it may bee have worshipped Pan the great God o● the Heathens Howsoever they doe use no manne● of worship at all now and it is most likely that th● Natives of this Country are descended from people bred upon that part of the world which is towarde● the Tropicke of Cancer for they doe still retaine the memory of some of the Starres one that part of thea Caelestiall Globe as the North-starre which with them is called Maske for Maske in their Language signifieth a Beare and they doe divide the windes into eight partes and it seemes originally have had some litterature amongst them which time hath Cancelled and worne out of use and where as it hath beene the opinion of some men which shall be nameles that the Natives of New-England may proceede from the race of the Tartars and come from Tartaria into those partes over the frozen Sea I see no probality for any such Conjecture for as much as a people once setled must be remooved by compulsion or else tempted thereunto in hope of better fortunes upon commendations of the place unto which they should be drawne to remoove and if it may be thought that these people came over the frozen Sea then would it be by compulsion if so then by whome or when or what part of this mane continent may be thought to border upon the Country of the Tartars it is yet unknowne and it is not like that a people well enough at ease will of their one accord undertake to travayle over a Sea of Ice considering how many difficulties they shall encounter with as first whether there be any Land at the end of their unknowne way no Land beinge in view then want of Food to sustane life in the meane time upon that Sea of Ice or how should they doe for Fuell to keepe them at night from freezing to death which will not bee had in such a place but it may perhaps be granted that the Natives of this Country might originally come of the scattred Trojans For after that Brutus who was the forth from Aneas left Latium upon the conflict had with the Latines where although hee gave them a great overthrow to the Slaughter of their grand Captaine and many other of the Heroes of Latium yet hee held it more safety to depart unto some other place and people then by stayi●g to runne the hazard of an unquiet life or doubtfull Conquest which as history maketh mention hee performed this people were dispersed there is no question but the people that lived with him by reason of their conversation with the Graecians

to make masts for the biggest ship that sayles on the maine Ocean without peesing which is more than the East country can afford And seeing that Navigation is the very sinneus of a flourishing Common-wealth it is fitting to allow the Spruce tree a principall place in the Catalogue of commodities Alder of ths sorte there is plenty by rivers sides good for turners Birch of this there is plenty in divers parts of the Country Of the barck of these the Salvages of the Northerne parts make them delicate Canowes so light that two men will transport one of them over Land whether they list and yet one of them will transporte tenne or twelffe Salvages by water at a time Mayple of those trees there is greate abundance and these are very excellent for bowles The Indians use of it to that purpose and is to be accompted a good commodity Elderne there is plenty in that Country of this The Salvages make their Arrowes and it hath no strong unsavery sent like our Eldern in England Hawthorne of this there is two sorts one of which beares a well tasting berry as bigg as ones thumbe and lookes like little Queene apples Vines of this kinde of trees there are that beare grapes of three colours that is to say white black and red The Country is so apt for vines that but for the fire at the spring of the yeare the vines would so over spreade the land that one should not be able to passe for them the fruit is as bigg of some as a musket bullet and is excellent in taste Plumtrees of this kinde there are many some that beare fruit as bigg as our ordinary bullis others there be that doe beare fruite much bigger than peare plummes their colour redd and their stones flat very delitious in taste Cheritrees there are abundance but the fruit is as small as our sloes but if any of them were replanted grafted in an orchard they would soone be raised by meanes of such and the like fruits There is greate abundance of Muske Roses in divers places the water distilled excelleth our Rosewater of England There is abundance af Sassafras and Sarsaperilla growing in divers places of the land whose budds at the spring doe perfume the aire Other trees there are not greatly materiall to be recited in this abstract as goose berries rasberies and other beries There is Hempe that naturally groweth finer then our Hempe of England CHAP. III. Potthearbes and other herbes for Sallets THe Country there naturally affordeth very good potherbes and fallet herbes and those of a more maskuline vertue then any of the same species in England as Potmarioram Tyme Alexander Angellica Pursland Violets and Anniseeds in very great abundance and forthe pott I gathered in summer dried and crumbled into a bagg to preserve for winter store Hunnisuckles balme and divers other good herbes are there that grow without the industry of man that are used when occasion serveth very commodiously CHAP. IV. Of Birds and fethered fovvles NOw that I have breifly shewed the Commodity of the trees herbes and fruits I will shew you a description of the fowles of the aire as most proper in ordinary course And first of the Swanne because shee is the biggest of all the fowles of that Country There are of them in Merrimack River and in other parts of the country greate store at the seasons of the yeare The flesh is not much desired of the inhabitants but the skinnes may be accompted a commodity fitt for divers uses both for fethers and quiles There are Geese of three sorts vize brant Geese which are pide and white Geese which are bigger and gray Geese which are as bigg and bigger then the tame Geese of England with black legges black bills heads and necks black the flesh farre more excellent then the Geese of England wilde or tame yet the purity of the aire is such that the biggest is accompted but an indifferent meale for a couple of men There is of them great abundance I have had often 1000. before the mouth of my gunne I never saw any in England for my part so fatt as I have killed there in those parts the fethers of them makes a bedd softer then any down bed that I have lyen on and is there a very good commodity the fethers of the Geese that I have killed in a short time have paid for all the powther and shott I have spent in a yeare and I have fed my doggs with as fatt Geese there as I have euer fed upon my selfe in England Ducks there are of three kindes pide Ducks gray Ducks and black Ducks in greate abundance the most about my habitation were black Ducks and it was a noted Custome at my howse to have every mans Duck upon a trencher and then you will thinke a man was not hardly used they are bigger boddied then the tame Ducks of England very fatt and dainty flesh The common doggs fees were the gibletts unlesse they were boyled now and than for to make broath Teales there are of two sorts greene winged and blew winged but a dainty bird I have bin much delighted with a rost of these for a second course I had plenty in the rivers and ponds about my howse Widggens there are and abundance of othe● water foule some such as I have seene and such a● I have not seene else where before I came into those parts which are little regarded Simpes there are like our Simpes in all respects with very litle difference I have shot at them onely to see what difference I could finde betweene them and and those of my native Country and more I did no● regard them Sanderlings are a dainty bird more full boddied than a Snipe and I was much delighted to feede on them because they were fatt and easie to come by because I went but a stepp or to for them and I have killed betweene foure and five dozen at a shoot which would loade me home Their foode is at ebbing water on the sands of small seeds that grows on weeds there and are very good pastime in August Cranes there are greate store that ever more came there at S. Davids day and not before that day they never would misse These sometimes eate our corne and doe pay for their presumption well enough and serveth there in powther with turnips to supply the place of powthered beefe and is a goodly bird in a dishe and no discommodity Turkies there are which divers times in great flocks have sallied by our doores and then a gunne being commonly in a redinesse salutes them with such a courtesie as makes them take a turne in the Cooke roome They daunce by the doore so well Of these there hath bin killed that have weighed forty eight pound a peece They are by mainy degrees sweeter then the tame Turkies of England

Abrahams and Lots of our times come thether there needs be no contention for wells Besides there are waters of most excellent vertues worthy admiration At Ma-re Mount there was a water by mee discovered that is most excellent for the cure of Melancolly probatum At weenasemute is a water the vertue whereof is to cure barrenesse The place taketh his name of that Fountaine which signifieth quick spring or quickning spring probatum Neere Squantos Chappell a place so by us called is a Fountaine that causeth a dead sleepe for 48. howres to those that drinke 24. ounces at a draught and so proportionably The Salvages that are Powahs at set times use it and reveale strang things to the vulgar people by meanes of it So that in the delicacy of waters and the conveniency of them Canaan came not neere this Country As for the Milke and Hony which that Canaan flowed with it is supplyed by the plenty of birds beasts and Fish whereof Canaan could not boast her selfe Yet never the lesse since the Milke came by the industry of the first Inhabitants let the cattell be chereshed that are at this time in New England and forborne but a litle I will aske no long time no more but untill the Brethren have converted one Salvage and made him a good Christian and I may be bold to say Butter and cheese will be cheaper there then ever it was in Canaan It is cheaper there then in old England at this present for there are store of Cowes considering the people which as my intelligence gives is 12000. persons and in gods name let the people have their desire who wri● to their freinds to come out of Sodome to the land of Canaan a land that flowes with Milke and Hony And I appeale to any man of judgement whether it be not a Land that for her excellent indowments of Nature may passe for a plaine paralell to Canaan of Israell being in a more temporat Climat this being in 40. Degrees and that in 30. CHAP. IX A Perspective to vievv the Country by AS for the Soyle I may be bould to commend the fertility thereof and preferre it before the Soyle of England our Native Country and I neede not to produce more then one argument for proffe thereof because it is so infallible Hempe is a thing by Husband men in generall agreed upon to prosper best in the most fertile Soyle and experience hath taught this rule that Hempe-seede prospers so well in New England that it shewteth up to be tenne foote high and tenne foote and a halfe which is twice so high as the ground in old England produceth it which argues New England the more fertile of the two As for the aire I will produce but one proffe for the maintenance of the excellency thereof which is so generall as I assure my selfe it will suffice No man living there was ever knowne to be troubled with a cold a cough or a murre but many men comming sick out of Virginea to New Canaan have instantly recovered with the helpe of the purity of that aire no man ever surfeited himselfe either by eating or drinking As for the plenty of that Land it is well knowne that no part of Asia Affrica or Europe affordeth deare that doe bring forth any more then one single faune and in New Canaan the Deare are accustomed to bring forth 2. and 3 faunes at a time Besides there are such infinite flocks of Fowle and Multitudes of fish both in the fresh waters and also on the Coast that the like hath not else where bin discovered by any traveller The windes there are not so violent as in England which is prooved by the trees that grow in the face of the winde by the Sea Coast for there they doe not leane from the winde as they doe in England as we have heard before The Raine is there more moderate then in England which thing I have noted in all the time of my residence to be so The Coast is low Land and not high Land and hee is of a weake capacity rhat conceaveth otherwise of it because it cannot be denied but that boats may come a ground in all places along the Coast and especially within the Compas of the Massachusets patent where the prospect is fixed The Harboures are not to be bettered for safety and goodnesse of ground for ancorage and which is worthy observation shipping will not there be furred neither are they subject to wormes as in Virginea and other places Let the Scituation also of the Country be considered together with the rest which is discovered in the front of this abstract and then I hope no man will hold this land unworthy to be intituled by the name of the second Canaan And since the Seperatists are desirous to have the denomination thereof I am become an humble Suter on their behalfe for your consents courteous Readers to it before I doe shew you what Revels they have kept in New Canaan CHAP. X. Of the Great Lake of Erocoise in Nevv England and the commodities thereof WEstwards from the Massachussets bay which lyeth in 42. Degrees and 30. Minutes of Northerne latitude is scituated a very spacious Lake called of the Natives the Lake of Erocoise which is farre more excellent then the Lake of Genezereth in the Country of Palestina both in respect of the greatnes and properties thereof and likewise of the manifould commodities it yealdeth the circumference of which Lake is reputed to be 240. miles at the least and it is distant from the Massachussets bay 300. miles or there abouts wherein are very many faire Islands where innumerable flocks of severall sorts of Fowle doe breede Swannes Geese Ducks Widgines Teales and other water Fowle There are also more abundance of Beavers Deare and Turkies breed about the parts of that lake then in any place in all the Country of New England and also such multitudes of fish which is a great part of the foode that the Beavers live upon that it is a thing to be admired at So that about this Lake is the principallst place for a plantation in all New Canaan both for pleasure and proffit Here may very many brave Townes and Citties be erected which may have intercourse one with another by water very commodiously and it is of many men of good judgement accounted the prime seate for the Metropolis of New Canaan From this Lake Northwards is derived the famous River of Canada so named of Monsier de Cane a French Lord that first planted a Colony of French in America there called Nova Francia from whence Captaine Kerke of late by taking that plantation brought home in one shipp as a Seaman of his Company reported in my hearing 25000. Beaver skinnes And from this Lake Southwards trends that goodly River called of the Natives Patomack which dischardgeth herselfe
