brasillians_n they_o get_v no_o advantage_n thereby_o because_o they_o esteem_v not_o of_o the_o use_n thereof_o where_o to_o the_o contrary_a if_o we_o be_v there_o we_o will_v get_v great_a furtherance_n and_o advantage_n also_o by_o our_o labour_n and_o thereby_o trade_n will_v be_v much_o increase_v by_o this_o you_o may_v easy_o perceive_v what_o great_a riches_n the_o ware_n of_o west_n india_n altogether_o amount_v unto_o as_o also_o what_o the_o ware_n that_o be_v carry_v thither_o do_v yield_v for_o in_o nova_fw-la spania_n and_o perto_n in_o some_o place_n there_o be_v some_o indian_n that_o be_v politic_a and_o wear_v clothes_n as_o we_o do_v and_o if_o the_o spaniard_n by_o mean_n of_o their_o great_a strength_n have_v not_o for_o the_o most_o part_n root_v out_o the_o inhabitant_n where_o they_o command_v without_o doubt_n they_o shall_v have_v reap_v more_o furtherance_n thereby_o then_o now_o they_o do_v for_o that_o the_o indian_n will_v have_v grow_v more_o civil_a and_o politic_a and_o to_o enjoy_v the_o fruit_n that_o proceed_v from_o labour_n will_v have_v addict_v themselves_o to_o labour_n but_o now_o those_o country_n for_o the_o most_o part_n be_v unpeople_v of_o their_o natural_a inhabitant_n and_o those_o that_o still_o remain_v therein_o be_v have_v in_o such_o subjection_n that_o they_o have_v neither_o heart_n nor_o will_n but_o have_v rather_o die_v then_o live_v under_o their_o government_n thus_o i_o have_v sufficient_o show_v wherein_o the_o riches_n of_o the_o west_n indian_a trade_n most_o consist_v that_o be_v in_o the_o ware_n and_o marchandize_n which_o be_v in_o those_o country_n and_o other_o country_n have_v not_o yet_o gold_n and_o silver_n be_v not_o amiss_o therewith_o to_o encrese_n and_o augment_v the_o trade_n the_o mean_n to_o be_v perticipant_n in_o this_o trade_n be_v to_o erect_v some_o colony_n there_o and_o the_o better_a to_o do_v the_o same_o we_o must_v suffer_v the_o west_n indian_a company_n to_o proceed_v in_o their_o trade_n for_o as_o in_o the_o article_n of_o the_o truce_n it_o be_v agree_v that_o we_o may_v traffic_v and_o trade_n in_o all_o place_n haven_n and_o town_n that_o be_v not_o under_o the_o king_n of_o spain_n command_n than_o thereby_o we_o be_v free_a to_o deal_v in_o terra_n florida_n the_o antilles_n the_o whole_a sea_n coast_n of_o guiana_n a_o great_a part_n of_o brasillia_n and_o so_o forth_o to_o the_o sraight_n of_o magellanes_n be_v 500_o mile_n where_o the_o spaniard_n have_v no_o command_n but_o only_o in_o rio_n de_fw-fr la_fw-fr

speak_v not_o of_o the_o great_a riches_n that_o be_v to_o be_v find_v inward_a in_o the_o land_n which_o have_v abundance_n of_o gold_n and_o other_o costly_a ware_n and_o marchandize_n the_o

erect_v our_o colony_n and_o by_o that_o mean_n traffic_v there_o and_o without_o doubt_n better_o convenient_o and_o with_o more_o profit_n than_o the_o portugal_n and_o castellian_o do_v but_o to_o tell_v what_o place_n at_o the_o first_o be_v fit_a to_o place_v our_o colony_n in_o i_o think_v it_o not_o convenient_a for_o that_o be_v a_o mean_n to_o some_o to_o discover_v our_o intent_n and_o thereby_o the_o spaniard_n may_v be_v forewarn_v now_o if_o certain_a colony_n be_v erect_v by_o that_o mean_v we_o will_v get_v the_o most_o part_n of_o the_o trade_n &_o traffic_n in_o the_o west_n indies_n into_o our_o hand_n by_o reason_n that_o we_o can_v sell_v and_o afford_v all_o manufacture_n a_o hundred_o for_o one_o better_a cheap_a than_o the_o spaniard_n can_v do_v and_o those_o ware_n that_o come_v out_o of_o india_n be_v better_a cheap_a unto_o we_o 50._o in_o the_o hundred_o then_o unto_o they_o because_o they_o stand_v we_o in_o so_o much_o more_o before_o we_o can_v bring_v they_o out_o of_o spain_n hither_o and_o further_o our_o countryman_n by_o their_o industry_n and_o labour_n will_v advance_v themselves_o more_o than_o the_o spaniard_n we_o must_v not_o likewise_o be_v persuade_v that_o the_o spaniard_n do_v possess_v and_o enjoy_v all_o the_o fruitfull_a place_n in_o the_o west_n indies_n and_o that_o there_o be_v none_o rest_v which_o they_o have_v not_o in_o their_o hand_n which_o be_v good_a temperate_a fruitful_a and_o convenient_a to_o dwell_v in_o and_o to_o reap_v profit_n from_o thence_o for_o we_o know_v that_o continual_o he_o make_v war_n to_o win_v some_o of_o they_o which_o otherwise_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o unfitness_n of_o his_o great_a ship_n can_v not_o by_o he_o be_v well_o find_v out_o as_o also_o by_o mean_n of_o the_o resistance_n which_o the_o indian_n there_o make_v against_o he_o some_o of_o they_o be_v yet_o unknown_a unto_o he_o beside_o all_o this_o the_o west_n indies_n be_v so_o great_a and_o spacious_a that_o he_o can_v possess_v the_o same_o whereby_o the_o five_o part_n of_o the_o west_n indies_n be_v not_o yet_o find_v out_o by_o the_o spaniard_n neither_o be_v the_o four_o part_n thereof_o subject_a to_o to_o the_o spaniard_n some_o will_v make_v a_o great_a doubt_n in_o the_o begin_n of_o these_o matter_n because_o they_o be_v of_o opinion_n that_o it_o will_v be_v many_o year_n before_o there_o will_v be_v any_o profit_n or_o benefit_n get_v by_o this_o trade_n but_o they_o understand_v it_o not_o for_o sugar_n and_o ginger_n be_v all_o ready_a grow_v which_o will_v be_v so_o easy_o do_v that_o in_o a_o year_n and_o a_o half_a or_o two_o year_n at_o the_o most_o we_o shall_v reap_v fruit_n of_o our_o plantation_n and_o when_o we_o have_v once_o begin_v it_o will_v increase_v every_o year_n i_o say_v nothing_o that_o there_o we_o may_v have_v salt_n wood_n diverse_a colour_n for_o die_v tobacco_n and_o other_o ware_n where_o by_o at_o the_o first_o we_o may_v make_v some_o profit_n attend_v more_o if_o it_o be_v answer_v that_o the_o portugal_n and_o other_o spaniard_n have_v better_a and_o fit_a mean_n thereunto_o in_o these_o country_n than_o we_o may_v have_v for_o that_o already_o they_o have_v some_o fort_n and_o place_n in_o the_o country_n i_o confess_v it_o but_o when_o they_o come_v first_o thither_o than_o they_o have_v not_o so_o good_a mean_n nor_o opportunity_n neither_o for_o ship_n nor_o other_o thing_n as_o we_o now_o have_v and_o the_o rather_o for_o that_o those_o country_n be_v now_o as_o well_o know_v unto_o we_o as_o unto_o they_o and_o we_o have_v good_a mean_n out_o of_o some_o place_n border_v therein_o to_o get_v and_o obtain_v all_o whatsoever_o shall_v be_v needful_a and_o necessary_a for_o we_o to_o erect_v colony_n which_o place_n be_v not_o here_o to_o be_v speak_v of_o but_o at_o the_o beginning_n the_o spaniard_n be_v force_v to_o have_v all_o thing_n out_o of_o spain_n that_o he_o have_v need_n of_o thus_o i_o have_v sufficient_o show_v that_o the_o mean_n to_o make_v we_o paricipant_n of_o the_o west_n indian_a trade_n be_v that_o we_o must_v possess_v some_o place_n therein_o with_o people_n out_o of_o these_o country_n now_o i_o will_v also_o show_v what_o great_a furtherance_n strength_n and_o commodity_n these_o country_n shall_v thereby_o obtain_v to_o show_v this_o i_o will_v not_o set_v down_o the_o situation_n temperatenes_n wholesome_a air_n and_o good_a and_o fruitful_a ground_n that_o be_v in_o the_o say_a west_n indies_n neither_o the_o great_a store_n of_o river_n abundance_n of_o four_o footed_a beast_n fowl_n and_o fish_n nor_o yet_o at_o large_a declare_v what_o ware_n and_o fruit_n grow_v there_o but_o in_o a_o word_n i_o will_v tell_v you_o that_o the_o country_n be_v fit_a and_o convenient_a for_o plant_v of_o oil_n wine_n sugar_n ginger_n chochenile_n cotton_n wool_n indigo_n diverse_a drug_n and_o other_o fruit_n and_o to_o be_v short_a all_o thing_n that_o spain_n and_o the_o west_n indies_n yield_v unto_o we_o and_o these_o country_n have_v not_o of_o themselves_o which_o then_o necessary_o must_v needs_o be_v a_o rich_a trade_n that_o this_o trade_n be_v the_o rich_a trade_n in_o all_o europe_n i_o think_v it_o be_v without_o question_n for_o not_o only_a spain_n get_v great_a riches_n thereby_o but_o all_o europe_n also_o have_v profit_v by_o the_o same_o the_o example_n of_o the_o spanish_a merchant_n may_v sufficient_o prove_v it_o who_o be_v wont_a to_o have_v a_o great_a trade_n here_o in_o the_o netherlands_o but_o when_o they_o begin_v to_o feel_v and_o taste_v what_o great_a commodity_n the_o west_n indian_a trade_n
