New-England at New-Plimoth now so called the 11. of Nouember where they found all the people they left so ill lusty and well for all their pouerties except six that died a moneth they stayed ere they returned to England loaded with Clap-boord Wainscot and Wallnut with about three hogs-heads of Beuer skinnes the 13. of December and drawing neere our coast was set on by a French man set out by the Marquesse of Cera Gouernour of Ile Deu where they kept the ship imprisoned the Master and company tooke from them to the value of 500 pound and after 14. daies sent them home with a poore supply of victuall their owne being deuoured by the Marquesse and his hungry seruants Now you are to vnderstand this 37. brought nothing but relied wholly on vs to make vs more miserable then before which the Sachem Couanacus no sooner vnderstood but sent to Tusquantum our Interpreter a bundle of new arrowes in a Snakes skinne Tusquantum being absent the Messenger departed but when we vnderstood it was a direct challenge we returned the skin full of powder and shot with an absolute defiance which caused vs finish our fortification with all expedition Now betwixt our two Saluages Tusquantum and Hobbamock gre●● such great emulation we had much adoe to know which best to trust In a iourney we vndertooke in our way we met a Saluage of Tusquantums that had cut his face fresh bleeding to assure vs Massasoyt our supposed friend had drawne his forces to Packanokick to assault vs. Hobomak as confidently assured vs it was false and sent his wife as an espy to see but when she perceiued all was well shee told the King Massasoyt how Tusquantum had abused him diuers Saluages also hee had caused to beleeue we would destroy them but he would doe his best to appease vs this he did onely to make his Country-men beleeue what great power hee had with vs to get bribes on both sides to make peace or warre when he would and the more to possesse them with feare he perswaded many we had buried the plague in our store house which wee could send when we listed whither wee would but at last all his knauery being discouered Massasowat sent his knife with Messengers for his head or him being his subiect with much adoe we appeased the angry King and the rest of the Saluages and freely forgaue Tusquantum because he speaking our language we could not well be without him A iourney to the Towne of Namaschet in defence of the King of Massasoyt against the Narrohigganses and the supposed death of Squantum A Great difference there was betwixt the Narrohigganses and the Massasoytes that had alwaies a iealousie Coubatant one of their petty Sachems was too conuersant with the Narrohigganses this Coubatant liued much at Namas●het and much stormed at our peace with his King and others also at Squantum and Tokamahamon and Hobomak our friends and chiefe occasioners of our peace for which he sought to muther Hobomak yet Tokamahamon went to him vpon a rumour he had taken Masasoyt prisoner or forced him from his Country but the other two would not but in priuat to see if they could heare what was become of their King lodging at Namaschet they were discouered to Coubatant who surprized the house and tooke Squantum saying if hee were dead the English had lost their tongue Hobomak seeing that and Coubatant held a knife at his brest being a strong lusty fellow brake from them and came to New-Plimoth full of sorrow for Squantum whom he thought was slaine The next day we sent ten men with him armed to be reuenged of Coubatant who conducted vs neere Namaschet where we rested and refreshed our selues til midnight and then we beset the house as we had resolued those that entred the house demanded for Coubatant but the Saluages were halfe dead with feare we charged them not to stirre for we came to hurt none but Coubatant for killing Squantum some of them seeking to escape was wounded but at last perceiuing our ends they told vs Coubatant was gone and all his men and Squantum was yet liuing in the towne in this hurly burly we discharged two peeces at randome which much terrified all the inhabitants except Squantum and Tokamahamon who though they knew not the end of our cōming yet assured themselues of our honesties that we would not hurt them the women and children hung about Hobomak calling him friend and when they saw we would hurt no women the young youths cryed we are women to be short we kept them all and whilest we were searching the house for Coubatant Hobomak had got to the top and called Squantum Tokamahamon which came vnto vs accompanied with others some armed others naked those that had bowes we tooke them from them promising them againe when it was day the house wee tooke for our quarter that night and discharged the prisoners and the next morning went to breakfast to Squantums house thither came all them that loued vs to welcome vs but all Coubatants faction was fled then we made them plainly know the cause of our comming if their King Massasoyt were not well we would be reuenged vpon the Narrohiggansets or any that should doe iniury to Hobomak Squantum or ●ny of their friends as for those were wounded we were sorry for it and offered out Surgion should heale them of this offer a man and a woman accepted that went home with vs accompanied with Squantum and many other knowne friends that offered vs all the kindnesse they could From the West of England there is gone ten or twelue ships to fish which were all well fraughted those that came first at Bilbow made seuenteene pound a single share besides Beuers Otters and Martins skinnes but some of the rest that came to the same ports that were all ready furnished so glutted the market that the price was abated yet all returned so well contented that they are a preparing to goe againe There is gone from the West Countrey onely to fish fiue and thirtie ships and about the last of Aprill two more from London the one of one hundred tunnes the other of thirtie with some sixtie Passengers to supply the Plantation Now though the Turke and French hath beene somewhat too busie in taking our ships would all the Christian Princes be truly at vnitie as his Royall Maiestie our Soueraigne King Iames desireth seuentie Saile of good ships were sufficient to fire the most of his Coasts in the Leuant and make such a guard in the Straights of Hellespont as would make the great Turke himselfe more affraid in Constantinople then the smallest Red-Crosse that crosses the Seas would be either of any French Pickaroun or the Pirats of Algere An abstract of diuers
