Certainely the Modell is more Vast and High then can possibly be imitated in all things Notwithstanding most Things therin are within Mens Power to effect His Lordship thought also in this present Fable to haue composed a Frame of Lawes or of the best State or Mould of a Common-wealth But foreseeing it would be a long VVorke his Desire of Collecting the Naturall History diuerted him which He preferred many degrees before it This VVorke of the New Atlantis as much as concerneth the English Edition his Lordship designed for this Place In regard it hath so neare Affinity in one Part of it with the Preceding Naturall History W Rawley NEW ATLANTIS WEE sayled from Peru wher wee had continued by the space of one whole yeare for China and Iapan by the South Sea taking with vs Victuals for twelue Moneths And had good Windes from the East though soft and weake for fiue Moneths space and more But then the Winde came about and setled in the West for many dayes so as we could make little or no way and were sometimes in purpose to turne back But then againe ther arose Strong and Great Windes from the South with a Point East which carried vs vp for all that we could doe towards the North By which time our Victualls failed vs though we had made good spare of them So that finding our selues in the Midst of the greatest Wildernesse of Waters in the World without Victuall we gaue our Selues for lost Men and prepared for Death Yet we did lift vp our Harts and Voices to GOD aboue who sheweth his Wonders in the Deepe Beseeching him of his Mercy that as in the Beginning He discouered the Face of the Deepe and brought forth Dry-Land So he would now discouer Land to vs that we mought not perish And it came to passe that the next Day about Euening we saw within a Kenning before vs towards the North as it were thick Cloudes which did put vs in some hope of Land Knowing how that part of the South Sea was vtterly vnknowne And might haue Islands or Continents that hithertoo were not come to light Wherefore we bent our Course thither wher we saw the Appearance of Land all that night And in the Dawning of the next Day we might plainly discerne that it was a Land Flatt to our sight and full of Boscage which made it shew the more Darke And after an Houre and a halfs Sayling we entred into a good Hauen being the Port of a faire Citty Not great indeed but well built and that gaue a pleasant view from the Sea And we thinking euery Minute long till we were on Land came close to the Shore and offred to land But straightwayes we saw diuers of the People with Bastons in their Hands as it were forbidding vs to land Yet

without any Cries or Fiercenesse but onely as warning vs off by Signes that they made Wherevpon being not a little discomforted we were aduising with our selues what we should doe During which time ther made forth to vs a small Boate with about eight Persons in it wherof One of them had in his Hand a Tipstaffe of a yellow Cane tipped at both ends with Blew who came aboard our Shipp without any shew of Distrust at all And when he saw one of our Number present himselfe somewhat afore the rest he drew forth a little Scroule of Parchment somewhat yellower then our Parchment and shining like the Leaues of Writing Tables but otherwise soft and flexible and deliuered it to our foremost Man In which Scroule were written in Ancient Hebrew and in Ancient Greeke and in good Latine of the Schoole and in Spanish these wordes Land yee not none of you And prouide to be gone from this Coast within sixteene daies except you haue further time giuen you Meanewhile if you want Fresh Water or Victuall or helpe for your Sick or that your Ship needeth repaire write downe your wants and you shall haue that which belongeth to Mercy This Scroule was Signed with a Stampe of Cherubins Wings not spred but hanging downwards And by them a Crosse. This being deliuered the Officer returned and left onely a Seruant with vs to receyue our Answeare Consulting hereupon amongst our Selues we were much perplexed The Deniall of Landing Hasty Warning vs away troubled vs much On the otherside to finde that the People had Languages and were so full of Humanity did comfort vs not a little And aboue all the Signe of the Crosse to that Instrument was to vs a great Reioycing and as it were a certaine Presage of Good Our Answer was in the Spanish tongue That for our Shipp it was well For we had rather mett with Clames and contrary windes then any Tempests For our Sick they were many and in very ill Case So that if they were not permitted to Land they ran danger of their Liues Our other Wants we sett downe in particular adding That we had some little store of Merchandize which if it pleased them to deale for it might supply our Wants without being chargeable vnto them We offred some Reward in Pistoletts vnto the Seruant and a peece of Crimson Veluett to be presented to the Officer But the Seruant tooke them not nor would scarce looke vpon them And so left vs and went back in another little Boate which was sent for him About three Houres after we had dispatched our Answear ther came towards vs a Person as it seemed of place He had on him a Gowne with wide Sleeues of a kinde of Water Chamolett of an excellent Azure Colour farre more glossy then ours His vnder Apparell was Green And so was his Hatt being in the forme of a Turban daintely made and not so huge as the Turkish Turbans And the Lockes of his Haire came downe below the Brimms of it A Reuerend Man was he to behold Hee came in a Boate gilt in some part of it with foure Persons more onely in that Boate And was followed by another Boate wherein were some Twenty When he was come within a Flight-shott of our Shipp Signes were made to vs that we should send forth some to meet him vpon the Water which we presently did in our Shipp-Boate sending the principall Man amongst vs saue one and foure of our Number with him When we were come within sixe yards of their Boate they called to vs to stay and not to approach further which we did And therupon the Man whom I before described stood vp and with a loud voice in Spanish asked Are yee Christians We answered We were fearing the lesse because of the Crosse we had seen in the Subscription At which Answear the said Person lift vp his Right Hand towards Heauen and drew it softly to his Mouth which is the Gesture they vse when they thank GOD And then said If yee will sweare all of you by the Meritts of the SAVIOVR that yee are no Pirates Nor haue shed bloud lawfully nor vnlawfully within fourtie daies past you may haue License to come on Land Wee said Wee were all ready to take that Oath Wherupon one of those that were with him being as it seemed a Notary made an Entry of this Act. Which done another of the Attendants of the Great Person which was with him in the same Boate after his Lord had spoken a little to him said aloud My Lord would haue you know that it is not of Pride or Greatnes that ●e commeth not aboard your Shipp But for that in your Answear your declare that you haue many Sick amongst you he was warned by the Conseruatour of Health of the Citty that he should keepe a distance We bowed our selues towards him and answered Wee were his humble Seruants And accounted for great Honour and singular Humanity towards vs that which was allready done But hoped well that the Nature of the Sicknes of our Men was not infectious Sc he returned And a while after came the Notary to vs aboard our Ship Holding in his hand a Fruit of that Cuntry like an Orenge but of colour between Orenge tawney and Scarlett which cast a most excellent Odour He vsed it as it seemeth for a Preseruatiue against Infection He gaue vs our Oath By the Name of Iesus and his Merits And after told vs that the next day by sixe of the Clocke in the Morning we should be sent to and brought to the Strangers House so he called it wher we should be accommodated of things both for our VVhole and for our Sick So he left vs And when we offred him some Pistoletts he smiling said He must not be twice paid for one Labour Meaning as I take it that he had Salary sufficient of the State for his Seruice For as I after learned they call an Officer that taketh Rewards Twice-paid The next Morning earely ther came to vs the same Officer that came to vs at first with his Cane and told vs He came to conduct vs to the Strangers House And that hee had preuented the Houre because we might haue the whole day before vs for our Businesse For said he If you will follow my Aduice ther shall first goe with me some few of you and see the place and how it may be made conuenient for you And then you may send for your Sick and the rest of your Number which yee will bring on Land We thanked him and said That this Care which he tooke of desolate Strangers GOD would reward And so sixe of vs went on Land with him And when we were on Land he went before vs and turned to vs and said He was but our Seruant and our Guide Hee ledd vs through three faire Streets And all the way we went ther were gathered some People on both sides standing in 2 Rowe But in so ciuill a fashion as

you stay Neither shall you stay one day the lesse for that As for any Merchandize yee haue brought yee shall be well vsed and haue your returne either in Merchandize or in Gold and Siluer For to vs it is all one And if you haue any other Request to make hide it not For yee shall finde we will not make your Countenance to fall by the Answer ye shall receiue Onely this I must tell you that none of you must goe aboue a Karan that is with them a Mile and an halfe from the walles of the Citty without especiall leaue We answered after we had looked awhile one vpon another admiring this gracious and parent-like vsage That we could not tell what to say For wee wanted words to expresse our Thankes And his Noble free Offers lest vs nothing to aske It seemed to vs that we had before vs a picture of our Saluation in Heauen For wee that were a while since in the Iawes of Death were now brought into a place where we found nothing but Consolations For the Commandement laid vpon vs we would not faile to obey it though it was impossible but our Hearts should be enflamed to tread further vpon this Happy and Holy Ground Wee added That our Tongues should first cleaue to the Roofes of our Mouthes ere we should forget either his Reuerend Person or this whole Nation in our Prayers Wee also most humbly besought him to accept of vs as his true seruants by as iust a Right as euer Men on Earth were bounden laying and presenting both our persons and all we had at his feete He said He was a Priest and looked for a Priests reward which was our Brotherly loue and the Good of our Soules and Bodies So he went from vs not without teares of Tendernesse in his Eyes And left vs also confused with Ioy and Kindnesse saying amongst our selues That wee were come into a Land of Angells which did appeare to vs dayly and preuent vs with Comforts which we thought not of much lesse expected The next day about 10. of the Clocke the Gouernour came to vs againe and after Salutations said familiarly That he was come to visit vs And called for a Chaire and satt him downe And we being some 10. of vs the rest were of the meaner Sort or else gone abroad sate down with him And when we were sett he began thus Wee of this Island of Bensalem for so they call it in their Language haue this That by meanes of our solitary Situation and of the Lawes of Secrecy which we haue for our Trauellers and our rare Admission of Strangers we know well most part of the Habitable World and are our selues vnknowne Therefore because he that knoweth least is sittest to aske Questions it is more Reason for the Entertainement of the time that yee aske mee Questions then that I aske you We answered That wee humbly thanked him that he would giue vs leaue so to doe And that wee conceiued by the tast wee had already that ther was no wordly thing on Earth more worthy to be knowne then the State of that happy Land But aboue all We said since that wee were mett from the feuer all Ends of the World and boped assuredly that we should meete one day in the Kingdome of Heauen for that we were both parts Christians wee desired to know in respect that Land was so remote and so diuided by vast and vnknowne Seas from the Land wher our SAVIOVR walked on Earth who was the Apostle of that Nation and how it was conuerted to the Faith It appeared in his face that he tooke great Contentment in this our Question Hee said Yee knit my Heart to you by asking this Question in the first place For it sheweth that you First seeke the Kingdome of Heauen And I shall gladly and briefly satis fie your demaund About twenty Yeares after the Ascension of our SAVIOVR it came to passe that ther was seen by the People of Renfusa a Citty vpon the Easterne Coast of our Island within Night the Night was Cloudy and Calme as it might be some mile into the Sea a great Pillar of Light Not sharp but in forme of a Columne or Cylinder rising from the Sea a great way vp towards Heauen and on the topp of it was seene a large Crosse of Light more bright and resplendent then the Body of the Pillar Vpon which so strange a Spectacle the People of the Citty gathered apace together vpon the Sands to wonder And so after put themselues into a number of small Boates to goe nearer to this Marueilous sight But when the Boates were come within about 60. yeards of the Pillar they found themselues all bound and could goe no further yet so as they might moue to goe about but might not approach nearer So as the Boates stood all as in a Theater beholding this Light as an Heauenly Signe It so fell out that ther was in one of the Boates one of our Wise Men of the Society of Salomons House which House or Colledge my good Brethren is the very Eye of this Kingdome Who hauing a while attentiuely and deuoutly viewed and contemplated this Pillar and Crosse fell downe vpon his face And then raysed himselfe vpon his knees and listing vp his Hands to Heauen made his prayers in this manner LOrd God of Heauen and Earth thou hast vouchsafed of thy Grace to those of our Order to know thy Workes of Creation and the Secretts of them And to discerne as farre as appertaineth to the Generations of Men Between Diuine Miracles Workes of Nature Works of Art and Impostures and Illusions of all sorts I doe here acknowledge and testifie before this People that the Thing which we now see before our eyes is thy Finger and a true Miracle And for-as-much as we learne in our Bookes that thou neuer workest Miracles but to a Diuine and Excellent End for the Lawes of Nature are thine owne Lawes and thou exceedest them not but vpon great cause wee most humbly beseech thee to prosper this great Signe And to giue vs the Interpretation and vse of it in Mercy Which thou doest in some part secretly promise by sending it vnto vs. VVhen he had made his Prayer hee presently found the Boate he was in moueable and vnbound whereas all the rest remained still fast And taking that for an assurance of Leaue to approach he caused the Boate to be softly and with silence rowed towards the Pillar But ere he came neere it the Pillar and Crosse of Light brake vp and cast it selfe abroad as it were into a Firmament of many Starres which also vanished soone after and there was nothing lest to be seen but a small Arke or Chest of Cedar dry and not wett at all with water though it swam And in the Fore-end of it which was towards him grew a small greene Branch of Palme And when the wise Man had taken it with all reuerence into his Boate it opened of
