Noblemen Gentlemen and Merchants who joyning priuate purses with publike supplies did send thither a sufficient Colonie well furnished with all things necessary who after their first comming had a continuall warre with the Natiues till it was reconciled by a Marriage of their Kings sister with one of the Colonie who hauing come to England as shee was returning backe died and was buried at Grauesend Thus euen amongst these Sauages libertie being valued aboue life as they were induced to contest in time before that power which they suspected could come to such a height that it might haue a possibilitie of depressing them so was their malice with their feares quickly calmed by the meanes of a marriage Lawfull allyances thus by admitting equalitie remoue contempt and giue a promiscuous off-spring extinguishing the distinction of persons which if that People become Christians were in some sort tolerable for it is the onely course that vniting minds free from jealousies can first make strangers confide in a new friendship which by communicating their bloud with mutuall assurance is left hereditary to their posteritie This longed for peace though it bred a great contentment for the time was attended by wrapping them that apprehended no further danger too common an inconuenient vp in the lazie remissenesse of improuident securitie For a number leauing the seate of the mayne Colonie did disperse themselues to liue apart as if they had bin into a well inhabited Countrey which as perchance it had emboldened the Sauages to imbrace the first occasion of a quarrell so did it giue them an easie way for executing the mischiefe that they intended by killing two or three hundred persons before they could aduertize one another farre lesse ioyne to oppose them in a company together which course might not onely then haue made them able to resist but preuenting the others resolution had kept them from being pursued yet I heare of late that they haue reuenged this iniury though as some report not after a commendable manner by killing their King with a great number of the chiefe of them whom they suspected most This Plantation of Uirginia if it had not beene crossed by the Incursion of the Sauages abroad and by the diuision of their Owners at home had attayned to a great perfection ere now hauing had Inhabitants from hence to the number of neere three thousand persons and if some of them who are there being Lords of reasonable proportions of ground and hauing people of their owne owing nothing but due obedience to a Superiour Power and the leading of a life conforme to the Lawes had no care but making their Lands to maintayne themselues how to build plant and plenish in such sort as might best establish a fortune for their Posteritie they might quickly make vp a new Nation but it is a great discouragement vnto them who dwell there that they must labour like the Seruants of a Family purchasing their food and rayment from England in exchange of Tobacco as they are directed by their Masters many whereof are strangers to the estate of that bounds and intending to settle none of their Race there haue no care but how the best benefit may presently bee drawne backe from thence the number of voyces at their assemblies preuayling more then the soundnesse of iudgement otherwise that Countrey before this time for Wine Oyle Wheate and other things necessary for the life of man might haue equalled for the like quantitie any bounds within Europe to which the soile of it selfe lacking nothing but the like industry is no way inferiour And it is to be exceedingly wished by all his Maiesties subiects that the Plantation of Virginia may prosper well which lying neerest to the part from whence danger might come may proue a Bulwarke for the safetie of all the rest That which is now called New England was first comprehended within the Patent of Virginia being the Northeast part thereof it was vndertaken in a Patent by a company of Gentlemen in the West of England one of whom was Sir Iohn Popha● then Lord Chiefe Iustice who sent the first company that went of purpose to inhabit there neer to Segadahoek but those that went thither being pressed to that enterprize as endangered by the Law or by their owne necessities no enforced thing prouing pleasant discontented persons suffering while as they act can seldome haue good successe and neuer satisfaction they after a Winter stay dreaming to themselues of new hopes at home returned backe with the first occasion and to iustifie the suddennesse of their returne they did coyne many excuses burdening the bounds where they had beene with all the aspersions that possibly they could deuise seeking by that meanes to discourage all others whose prouident forwardnes importuning a good successe might make their base sluggishnesse for abandoning the beginning of a good worke to be the more condemned About a foure yeeres since a shippe going for Virginia comming by chance to harbour in the South-west part of New England neere Cape Cod the company whom shee carried for Plantation being weary of the Sea and enamored with the beautie of the bounds that first offered it selfe vnto them gorgeously garnished with all wherewith pregnant nature rauishing the sight with variety can grace a fertile field did resolue to stay and seated themselues in that place which is now called New Plimmouth where they haue builded good houses and by their owne industry haue prouided themselues in such sort as they are likely to subsist keeping a good correspondencie with the Captaines of the Sauages who haue done nothing hitherto that might offend them and after this though they would dare attempt nothing to their preiudice who are now aboue two hundred persons and doe increase their number yeerely They find both the Land and the Seas there abounding in all things needfull for the vse of man and doe gouerne themselues after a very ciuill and prouident manner Sir Ferdinando Gorge hath beene a chiefe man for the furtherance of all things that might tend to the aduancement of New England hauing beene at great charges these many yeeres past for the Discouerie thereof in doing which a good intention bent for other ends casually bringing forth this effect the fishing there not sought for was found which doth prooue now so profitable as fortie or fiftie Sayle are imployed there from England yeerely and all that haue gone thither haue made aduantagious Voyages This last yeere hee sent his Sonne Captaine Robert Gorge with a Colonie to be planted in Messasuats bonds and as I heare out of a generous desire by his example to encourage others for the aduancement of so braue an Enterprize he is resolued shortly to goe him selfe in person and to carrie with him a great number well fitted for such a purpose and many Noblemen in England whose names and proportions as they were marshalled by lot may appeare vpon the Map hauing interressed themselues in that bounds are to send seuerall
