Cor fish about 7000. Whilest the sailers fished my selfe with eight or nine others of them might best bee spared Ranging the coast in a small boat wee got for trifles neer 1100 Beuer skinnes 100 Martins and neer as many Otters and the most of them within the distance of twenty leagues We ranged the Coast both East and West much furder but Eastwards our commodities were not esteemed they were so neare the French who affords them better and right against vs in the Main was a Ship of Sir Frances Popphames that had there such acquaintance hauing many yeares vsed onely that porte that the most parte there was had by him And 40 leagues westwards were two French Ships that had made there a great voyage by trade during the time wee tryed those conclusions not knowing the Coast nor Saluages habitation With these Furres the Traine and Cor-fish I returned for England in the Bark where within six monthes after our departure from the Downes we safe arriued back The best of this fish was solde for fiue pound the hundreth the rest by ill vsage betwixt three pound and fifty shillings The other Ship staied to fit herselfe for Spaine with the dry fish which was sould by the Sailers reporte that returned at forty ryalls the quintall each hundred weighing two quintalls and a halfe New England is that part of America in the Ocean Sea opposite to Noua Albyon in the South Sea discouered by the most memorable Sir Francis Drake in his voyage about the worlde In regarde whereto this is stiled New England beeing in the same latitude New France off it is Northward Southwardes is Virginia and all the adioyning Continent with New Granado New Spain New Andolosia and the West Indies Now because I haue beene so oft asked such strange questions of the goodnesse and greatnesse of those spatious Tracts of land how they can bee thus long vnknown or nor possessed by the Spaniard and many such like demands I intreat your pardons if I chance to be too plaine or tedious in relating my knowledge for plaine mens satisfaction Florida is the next adioyning to the Indes which vnprosperously was attempted to bee planted by the French A Country farre bigger then England Scotland France and Ireland yet little knowne to any Christian but by the wonderful endeuours of Ferdinando de Soto a valiant Spaniard whose writings in this age is the best guide knowne to search those parts Virginia is no Ile as many doe imagine but part of the Continent adioyning to Florida whose bounds may be stretched to the magnitude thereof without offence to any Christian inhabitant For from the degrees of 30. to 45. his Maiestie hath granted his Letters parents the Coast extending South-west and North-east aboute 1500 miles but to follow it aboard the shore may well be 2000. at the least of which 20. miles is the most giues entrance into the Bay of Chisapeak where is the London plantation within which is a Country as you may perceiue by the description in a Booke and Map printed in my name of that little I there discouered may well suffice 300000 people to inhabit And Southward adioyneth that part discouered at the charge of Sir Walter Rawley by Sir Ralph Lane and that learned Mathematician Mr. Thomas Heryot Northward six or seauen degrees is the Riuer Sadagahock where was planted the Westerne Colony by that Honourable Patrone of vertue Sir Iohn Poppham Lord chief Iustice of England Ther is also a relation printed by Captaine Bartholomew Gosnould of Elizabeths Iles and an other by Captaine Waymoth of Pemmaquid From all these diligent obseruers posterity may be bettered by the fruits of their labours But for diuers others that long before and since haue ranged those parts within a kenning sometimes of the shore some touching in one place some in another I must entreat them pardon me for omitting them or if I offend in saying that their true descriptions are concealed or neuer well obserued or died with the Authors so that the Coast is yet still but euen as a Coast vnknowne and vndiscouered I haue had six or seauen seuerall plots of those Northren parts so vnlike each to other and most sodiffering from any true proportion or resemblance of the Countrey as they did mee no more good then so much waste paper though they cost me more It may be it was not my chance to see the best but least others may be deceiued as I was or through dangerous ignorance hazard themselues as I did I haue drawen a Map from Point to Point I le to I le and Harbour to Harbour with the Soundings Sands Rocks Land-marks as I passed close aboard the Shore in a little Boat although there bemany things to bee obserued which the haste of other affaires did cause me omit for being sent more to get present commodities then knowledge by discoueries for any future good I had not power to search as I would yet it will serue to direct any shall goe that waies to safe Harbours and the Saluages habitations What marchandize and commodities for their labour they may finde this following discourse shall plainely demonstrate Thus you may see of this 2000. miles more then halfe is yet vnknowne to any purpose no not so much as the borders of the Sea are yet certainly discouered As for the goodnes and true substances of the Land wee are for most part yet altogether ignorant of them vnlesse it bee those parts about the Bay of Chisapeack and Sagadahock but onely here and there wee touched or haue seene a little the edges of those large dominions which doe stretch themselues into the Maine God doth know how many thousand miles whereof we can yet no more iudge then a stranger that saileth betwixt England and France can describe the Harbors and dangers by landing here or there in some Riuer or Bay tell thereby the goodnesse and substances of Spaine Italy Germany Bohemia Hungaria the rest By this you may perceiue how much they erre that think euery one which hath bin at Virginia vnderstandeth or knowes what Virginia is Or that the Spaniards know one halfe quarter of those Territories they possesse no not so much as the true circumference of Terra Incognita whose large dominions may equalize the greatnesse and goodnes of America for any thing yet known It is strange with what small power hee hath raigned in the East Indes and few will vnderstand the truth of his strength in America where he hauing so much to keepe with such a pampered force they neede not greatly feare his furie in the Bermudas Virginia New France or New England beyond whose bounds America doth stretch many thousand miles into the frozen partes whereof one Master Hutson an English Mariner did make the greatest discouerie of any Christian I knowe of where he vnfortunately died For Affrica had not the industrious Portugales ranged her vnknowne parts who would haue sought for wealth among those fryed
