vs to allure vs from our home-bred idlenesse to this necessary place of Plantation It is not Gold nor a Siluer mine which can feed either body or soule but the one requires nourishment to be gotten by the sweat of the browes the other must haue spirituall repast by the Word of God Before the Spaniards inhabited the West-Indies and had found those rich treasures in Peru Sincerity raigned among the Nobles and Simplicity among the Commons But now money being growne in some places more rife then in times past neighbourly Loue and Humility are fled backe into Heauen so that we may well curse the time when these Mines were first seized on by the Spaniards For as the Author de la nouvelle Fraunce affirmeth when I confider saith hee that by these Golden mines the Spaniards haue kindled and entertained wars in all parts of Christendome and haue studied to ruinate their neighbours and not the Turke I cannot thinke faith this French writer that any other then the Deuill hath beene the Author of their voyages Ie ne puis penser qu' autre que le Diable ait esté Autheur de leurs voyages In this resolution being confirmed I transported two seuerall Colonies of men and women into those parts with full intent to follow after and to lead the remnant of my life in this new Plantation It seemes strange vnto my vertuous followers in Parnassus replied Apollo that a man of your fashion not driuen by need which as the prouerbe saies makes the old wife trot but sufficiently prouided for in your natiue Countrie should now in the midst of your age spend the best and rarest part of your life which is yet to come in building and tilling of new places To this Orpheus Iunior answered I confesse most Noble Prince that sometimes I feele my Pillow very vneuen my head tossed and turmoyled with many a netled thought and my minde playing loath to depart from my natiue soile One while the conceit of my supposed worth reputation kindred acquaintance ease conuenience of meanes at home and other symbolized ornaments of this present world doe recall mee backe like another Demas from this charitable worke in the Newfoundland But instantly I blush for shame when I thinke on the magnanimity of Heathenish men who may rise against vs at the iudgement day and plead their good deserts before our frozen zeale That a Citizen of Rome for the safety of his City of Rome sacrificed his life in that horrible gulfe That Codrus of Athens though a King did disguise himselfe as a priuate Souldier of set purpose to dye for the sauing of his people That the chiefest Nobility among the Gothes and Vandales forsooke their owne habitations to accompany the meaner sort of people and to lead them into forraigne Countries who without their personall presence would haue staid at home like Drones and pined for want of liuing Patria magnanimis est vbicunque bene That 's my Countrie which giues me my wel-being Euery place agrees with an honest minde and that as naturally as the Sea with the Fish as the Ayre with the Fowle Another while I meditate on that saying of S. Paul He which prouides not for them of his owne houshold is worse then an Infidell Whereby the care of my Wife and Children kindling an indulgent loue within mee reuokes my resolution from this enterprize But presently after I see the same God ouerlooking Newfoundland which ouerlookes Europe and all the world ouer sounding out this Proclamation He that loues his Father and Mother aboue me is not worthy of me which the Iesuites imbracing somewhat too meritoriously doe to our shame put in practice abandoning all the pleasures of their natiue Countrie and betaking themselues to the vttermost parts of the earth so that China and Iapan doe ring out the name of our Sauiour Christ by their meanes and trauels Sometimes I suspect the Action because I see men of my ranke so much giuen to lazinesse and the loue of their dunghils at home that they will indure any smart of oppression or cracke of credit rather then they wil depart into a remoter place to liue in perpetuall plenty But this cogitation quickly vanisheth when I consider the estates of our rich and poore how the one will not the other cannot The one lies besotted with the lullabies of carnall ease caring more for this worlds vanity then for heauenly Blisse purchased by workes of charity which as S. Iames wrote will helpe to couer multitudes of sinnes And the other for want of meanes cannot get thither without some good peoples deuotions In which latter discommodity I am sory to find so many helplesse in my Country of Wales Wheras close by vs I see our neighbours of Deuonshire scorning to become Gossips to pouerty yearely to send aboue 150 ships to salute the Newfoundland transporting therehence those Commodities without which Spaine and Italy can hardly liue This is our Colchos where the Golden Fleece flourisheth on the backes of Neptunes sheepe continually to be shorne This is Great Britaines Indies neuer to be exhausted dry This pretious Treasure surmounts the Duke of Burgundies Golden Flecce which hee called after that name by reason of his large customs which he receiued from our English Woolls and Cloth in the Low Countries From this Iland our English transport worth 20000. pound and might yeerely treble this summe if the Plantations goe forward as happily as they doe and may with the tenth part of the charge which hath beene defrayed about other Plantations So many men so many mindes Euery man hath his peculiar fancie either by the motions of good Angels or by the instigation of the Spirituall Tempter or by the constitution of the braine hot cold or deprauedly mixt But let men in cold blood lay aside their crotchets and the sparkling flames of imagination and iudiciously weigh the vtility of this businesse comparing the dangers the remotenesse and charge of other voyages and no doubt but God will giue them a new heart to imbrace this proiect which experience for these 80. yeares space hath confirmed vnto vs to bee more beneficiall then any other whatsoeuer Here Orpheus Iunior suspended his speech when as all the Auditors and standers by shouted for ioy to heare that a new Colchos was found out for the restoring of Trading which lately began to faile in the North-west parts of Europe There were many Ladies which purposed out of hand to imitate Isabella Queene of Castile in selling their Iewels Rings and Bracelets for the furthering of this Plantation and Fishing as the other had done to furnish out Columbus for the first discouery of the West-Indies Great was the zeale most hopefull the Charity like to spring from this zeale for euery man prepared an auspicious offring for the gratulation of these ioyfull newes when they also vnderstood that all the profits of this Golden Fleece were to be distributed among the Professors of the Gospel that

the Golden Fleece should be a Catholike Restoratiue as well for the Inlanders and the Sea Coasts as for the Plantations to bee aduanced forwards and therefore hee wished the seuen wise men of Greece to repaire their reputations lately lost in missing to reforme the world and to deuise some new Remedies and Commodities for the perpetuall good of that Monarchy which hee laboured to preserue as the apple of his eye Byas was chosen first to signifie his Opinion who discoursed in this manner I haue trauelled ouer all this spacious Iland and by a curious suruay I found more Parkes for Deere inclosed in this Country then in all Christendome besides I found many Commons Mountaines Heath and wast grounds which might be better conuerted and seuered for bearing of Corne Grasse and Hay wherein the labour will quickly defray the charge and mightily inrich the Natiues In Lincolneshire about the Washes and Marshes there may many new habitations be erected in imitation of the Low-County men who haue wonne from the Sea as the Venetians before them their famous City more vnlikely grounds then any I saw in Lincolneshire A Patterne wherefore let them take from Sir Hugh Middleton that renowned Barronet which makes London for euer obliged vnto him for her water a piece of worke eternizing his Name so farre that a Spanish Embassador vpon the sight thereof rauished with admiration protested that if such an enterprise had beene atchieued in Spaine his King had ennobled him with the Title of a Count. This industrious Gentleman together with Sir Ambrose Theloall pursuing on the like profitable workes recouered aboue 1000 acres of Land from the Sea in the I le of Wight worth a thousand pound a yeare And if others would follow their vertuous examples doubtlesse the euent would crowne their designes and cost with prosperous successe If Commons were husbanded and tilled by such inclosures the Commoners should reape that commodity seuerally in 20. Acres which they could not in 100. while they lay confused A little Good is better managed t●en much disorderly inioyed Some men will get more by their Gardens and Orchards then others by their Plow Lands How many Mountaines Heaths Wasts and Furzy grounds might be conuerted to better vses then they be at this day Yea and many thefts robberies and other intollerable abuses might bee preuented by these inclosures Here Bias ended when Pittacus began to discouer his Plot. Well hath my Collegiat Bias manifested a matter of great import beneficially tending to restore Great Britaine to prosperity But what shall the Inhabitants afterwards doe when the genuine and natiue vertue which now is verdant of a liuely saltish vigour spicke and spanne new what shall they doe fiue or sixe yeares hence when they haue throughly gotten the maidenhead of these wastes and wearied all the youthfull graine of these grounds with bearing of Corne Will they feed and sucke still on the blood of their decaied veines The best grounds will grow out of heart in a short time vnlesse they be holpen by Art I confesse the subiect which I intend now to commend is sordide rude and more beseeming a Clownish Coridon then one of my education in this magnifique Court yet neuerthelesse because the same serues to inrich his Maiesties Territories in these Westerne Coasts which hee holds as deere as his Thessalian Tempe I will disclose the secret meanes to renew the life of ouer-wearied Lands There is no ground but hath Marle either neere the superficies of it or deeper in the wombe of the earth abounding This Marle in some Countries by the reuolution of time is turned to lime or limestone and this lime in some places is growne to a finer mould euen to chalke which is the perfection of all Marle Where none of these abound nature hauing not as yet wrought her selfe to her fulnesse I wish euery Landed man with an Augur boarer or piercing worme to search and try in the deepest part of his earth where the same lieth hid for surely shallow or thicke he may finde Marle vpon his Land If it be oily vnctuous and clammy then it is fat and rich It is of sundry colours and different likewise in the goodnesse For there is a yellow Marle a Red a Grey and Blew all which are good if they be oily and slippery as Sope and mixed with earth as also weake if it be incorporated with grauell stone or sand The red Marle is the worst vnlesse it be found to lye neere the blew For the best is the blew in operation and will last longest Next vnto it is the yellow and the grey better then the red All which may bee searched after in the veines of the earth Hauing met with it let the Husband man glory that hee hath met with treasure able to supply his owne and his Countries necessities Onely let him take this for a Caueat that at the first marling of his ground hee must look he plow not with broad and deepe furrowes but narrow lest he throw his Marle into the dead mould For the nature of Marle is to send all the goodnesse downewards and for that cause it must not be buried too deepe but still kept aloft on the vpper mould And in this it differeth much from Dung and Mucke which spend their vertue vpward and will ascend by their misty vapour springing vp to the face of the ground though they be buried deeper then they ought to bee I could admonish men oftener to hearten their outworne grounds with other remedies as with the soile of old Ditches or with sand or to transferre and temper fresh earth brought from lay grounds with their ouerspent mould as they vse in Deuonshire Or to adde tough clay to the tender sandy for the one is life to the other being so incorporated specially moist with the dry But I hope this being practised their Corne fields will produce sufficient increase so that they shall not become too often beholding to the Sound of Denmarke for Rie as commonly heretofore euery fiue yeares they haue beene Periander after this speech produced his opinion Seeing we haue like Moles begunne to treat of earthly Commodities to inrich this decayed Countrie let me exhort them to plant Orchards the benefits I dare well say will counteruaile the French Vineyards if they be rightly followed and need but small pruning and looking to after the first planting By this way they shall haue Cider which with a little helpe of some Spice will goe beyond most of their Wines and consequently saue aboue sixe hundred thousand pound a yeare which now most lauishly are consumed by them euen to the cutting and ending of their fatall threed Already some discreet and circumspect Landlords haue couenanted conditioned with their Tenants that they shall euery yeare during their Leases plant fruit Trees which if others will imitate not onely wines will grow in lesse vse but malt will be spared out of the superfluity of their store to furnish the
