Ireland so farre North that he came to a Land vnknowne where he saw many strange things This must needes be some part of this Countrey of which the Spaniards affirme themselves to be the first founders since Dannos time wherevpon it is manifest that this Country was by Brittanies discovered long before Columbus Of Mado●s returne there be many fables but he did returne and declared of the fruitfull Countryes he had seene with out Inhabitants and on the contrary what barren and wild ground his Brethren and Nephewes did kill and murder one another for He prepared a Navie of ships got with him such Men and Women as were desirous to live in quiet and taking leave of his friends tooke his journey thither againe Therefore it is to be supposed that he and his people inhabited part of this Country for it appeareth by Francis Lopez de Gomara that in Acuzamill and other places the people honored the Crosse whereby it may be gathered that Christians had beene there before the comming of the Spaniards This Madoc arriving againe in that West Countrey vnto the which he came 1170. left most of his people there and returned backe for more of his owne Nation acquaintance and friends to inhabite that faire and large Countrey went thither againe with 10. saile as I find noted by Guyten Owen I am of opinion that the Land wherevnto he came was some part of the West Indies As concerning Sebastian Cabot I cannot find that he was any further Northward then the 58. Degree and so returned along the Land of America to the S. but for more certainty heare his owne Relation to Gal●acius Bu●rigarius the Popes Legate in Spaine Vnderstanding saith he by reason of the Spheare that if I should saile by the way of North-west I should by a shorter tract come to India I caused the King to be advertised of my device who immediately caused two Caravels to be furnished with all things needfull which was as neere as I can remember in the yeare 1496. In the beginning of Summer I begun to saile North-west not thinking to find any other Land then that of Cataia and from thence to come into India But after certaine dayes I found the Land run to the North which was to me a great displeasure neverthelesse sailing along the Coast to see if I could finde any Gulfe that turned I found the Land still to continue continent to the 56. Degree vnder the Pole and seeing that there the Coast turned toward the East dispairing to find the passage I turned backe againe and sailed downe by the Coast of that Land toward the Equinoctiall Thus much from himselfe But heare how Baptistie Ramusius his Country man how he flattereth him thus It 's many yeares since it was written vnto me by Sebastian Cabota our Countryman a Venetian a Man of great experience and very rare in the Art of Navigation and the knowledge of Cosmographie who sailed along and beyond this Coast of new France at the charges of Henry the 7. King of England and he advertised me that having sailed along time West by North beyond those Ilands into the Latit of 67. Deg. and ½ vnder the North Pole and on the 11. day of Iune finding still the open Sea without any impediment he thought verily by that way to have passed on still to Cataia which is in the East and would have done it if the Mutinie of the shipmasters and Marriners had not hindered and made him returne home from that place Out of Robert Fabians Chronicle THere is also mention made of Iohn Cabota Sebastians Father by his meanes in the 13. yeare of Henry the Seauenth at the same Kings charge one ship was victuailed from Bristow wherein divers Marchants of London adventured sma stockes to search for an Iland he said was very Rich and replenished with great Commodities In his company went from Bristow 3. or 4. small Barkes laden with coarse Cloth Caps Laces Points and other trifles they departed the beginning of May but were not heard of in that Maiors time Out of the same Chronicle VVIlliam Purchase being Maior three Saluages were taken in New found Land and brought to the King they were cloathed in Beasts skinnes and eate raw flesh and spake such speech that no man could vnderstand them and in their demeanor much like to bruite Beasts of which two yeares after I saw two apparrelled after the manner of Englishmen in Westminster Parish I could not discerne them from English vntill I had learned what they were An Extract taken out of the Mappe of Sebastian Cabota cut by Clement Adams IN the yeare of Grace 1497. John Cabot a Venetian and Sebastian his Sonne with an English Fleete set from Bristow discovered that Iland which before that time no man had attempted on the 24. day of June this Land he called Prima Vesta that is to say first seene that Iland lying out before the Land he called the I le of St. John Because he discovered it vpon that day of St. John Baptist The inhabitants of this I le vse to weare Beasts skinnes in their Warres they vse Bowes Arrowes Pikes Darts Wooden-clubs and slings The soile is Barren in some places and yeeldeth little fruit but is full of white Beares and Stagges farre greater then ours it yeildeth plenty of Fish and these very great as Seales and Sammons there are Soales of a yard in length but especially there is great plenty of that kind of Fish which the Salvages call Baccalaos there are also bred Hawkes and Eagles Another Testimony of the Voyage of Sebastian Caboc taken out of the third Decade of Peter Martyr of Angleria THe North seas have bin searched by one S●bastia● Cabot a Venetian borne he furnished 2. Ships at his owne charge and first with 300. men directed his course towards the N. Pole that even in the Moneth of July he found monstrous heapes of Ice swimming on the Sea and in a manner continuall day light Thus seeing these heapes of Ice before him he was enforced to turne his sailes and follow the W. coasting the shore he was thereby brought so farre into the South by reason of the land stretching Southward that it was there almost equall in latitude with Fretum Herculeum As he travelled by the coasts of this great Land which he named Bacculaos he saith hee found the like course of waters toward the West but the same running more soft and gently then the swift waters which the Spaniards found in their Navigation South-ward wherefore it is not onely mo●e like to be true but ought also of necessity to be concluded that betweene both the Lands hitherto vnknowne there should be certaine great open places whereby the waters continually passe from the East to the West Which waters I suppose to be driven about the Globe of the Earth by the incessant Motion and impulsion of the Heavens and not to be swallowed and cast vp againe by the breathing of Demogorgon as some

the Iles of Gods mercy the Master sent this Author over to discover this Iland to the North and North-West he met with a covery of Partridges and kild onely the old one it was barren land having nothing thereon but water plashes and torne Rockes as though it had beene subiect to earthquakes to the North of this Iland there is a great bay or Sea they know not what it may prove there was a great Iland of Ice on ground which with the spring tide was set on float and carried to the N W. but came not backe within sight here they found some drift wood on shoare From thence he stood to S W. to double the land to the W. off him through many peeces of Ice at length he found a cleare Sea and raised land to the N W. whereupon he stood more to S. then before and fell amongst Ice which he would have doubled to the N. but could not then he stood to the S W. amongst the Ice and strove to get to the land but could not for the Ice from out of this bay he stood to the North and was soone cleare of the Ice then he stood to S. W. and W. where he was inclosed with land and Ice having land on the one side from the S. to the N W. and on the other side he see land from E. to W. but the land that lay to the N. and lay E. and W. was but an Iland he went so farre as he could and made fast to the Ice the tyde brought upon him but the ebbe did open and made way and 7 or 8 houres he was cleare and with the great Ilands of Ice was carried to the N W. He stands to the W. along the S. shoare and raised 3 Capes or headlands one above another the middlemost is an Iland with a Bay which he thinkes will prove a good harbour he names them Prince Henries Forland when he had laid these he raised another which was the extreame part of the land looking towards the N. upon it are two hils but one above the rest like an humlocke he names it King Iames his Cape to the N. of this lyes certaine Ilands he names it Queen Annes Forland he still followed the N. shoare beyond the Kings Forland there is a Bay wherein lyeth some broken land and close to the maine but he passed by on the night From thence he stood to the N. and W. to double this land againe and fell with land that stretched from the maine like a shoare from S to N. and from N to W. and downe to S again here a storme takes him and he stands to N. and raises land then he stood to S. againe for he was loathat any time to see the N. shoare the storme continuing and he comming to the S. he found himselfe shot to the W. a great way which he mervailed at considering his leaward way to S. W. ward off this land there is a hill he named Mount Charles to the N. and beyond this is an Iland that to the East hath a fore head land and beyond it to the W. other broken land where he thinks may be found a good harbour he names this Cape Salisbury He then left those lands to the North-East and fell into a ripline or overfall of a current which he thought to be shoald water but had no ground he put on still in sight of the South-land and raised land 2 leag from the maine he tooke it to be the North maine but it proved an Iland having a very faire Head-land to the West which he named Cape Digges on the other side to the East was another Cape or head-land which he called Cape Worstenholme betwixt which two he sailed South He sends the Boate on shore to Digges his Iland and in her going she was overtaken by a storme of Raine Thunder and Lightning they came to the N East-side being high-land but with much adoe going to the highest part they find some plaine ground and Deere 4 or 5. And after 16 in one Heard but could not come nigh them with Musket shot Thus going from place to place they see to the West a Hill higher then all the rest it was steepe and they could not get vp to it but on the South-west side and on that side was a great water pond from whence on the South runneth a streame of water as much as would drive a Mill falling into the Sea and in this place bred great store of Fowle and the best grasse grew there they had seene since their comming from England they found Sorrell and Scurvey-grasse in great aboundance they found likewise Hills made like to hay-cockes within which were great store of Fowle hanged by the neckes they tooke many of them and downe a valley carried them to their Boate. In this time the Master had brought in the Ship betweene the two lands shot off some peeces to call the boat on board for it was a fogge they perswaded him to stay heere for refreshing but he would not but sailed downe to the S. the land beares E from him and the same Maine that he had all the time followed he looseth the sight thereof because it fell away to the East and after he had sailed 25 or 30. leag he came to shallow water broken ground and Rockes which he passed to the S. and in a storme of winde the water still shoalding he came to anchor in 15 fathomes After this he wayed and stood S E. for so the Land laid and came to have land on both sides then he anchored and sent the Boate on land the Land on the W. was a very narrow point and to the S. there was a large Sea He stood to the South betweene these two Lands in this place not above two leagues and in the sight of the East-shore in the end he lost sight thereof and came into the bottome of a bay into 6. or 7. fathom water then he stands vp againe to the N. by the West-shore vntill he came to an Iland in 53 deg where he tooke in water and ballast From thence he passed to the N. but some 2 or 3 dayes after there fell some reasoning concerning their comming into this Bay and going out the Master takes occasion to reviue old matters and displaces his Mate Robert Ivet and also his Boate-swaine for words spoken in the great Bay of Ice he places Robert Bylot his Mate and William Wilson Boate-swaine and then stands vp to the N vntill he raised land and then downe to the S. then vp againe to the N. and then downe to the S. and on Michaelmas day he came in and went out from certaine Ilands which he sets downe for Michalmas Bay from thence he stood to the N. and came into shole water the weather thicke and foule He anchored in 6 or 7 fadomes and lay there 8 dayes before which time he could

Westmost they found nothing on land but Cockle grasse he saith he found that before they came to this place that he was kept in the Ship against Henry Greenes minde because he did not favour their proceeding better then he did for he drave him to take upon him to search for such things as himselfe had stolne and accused him of a matter no lesse then treason amongst themselves for that he had deceived the company of 30 bread cakes now they began to talk that England was no safe place for them and Henry Greene swore that the ship should not come in any place but keepe the Sea still untill he had the Kings hand and seale to show for his safety they had many devises but Henry Greene was their Captaine and so they called him from those Ilands he stood to the N. having the Easterne land in sight and raised these Ilands the Master had called Romn●ys Ilands between which Ilands and the shallow ground to the E. off them the Mr. stood downe into the first great bay this was going outward in the Masters time they kept the East side ●●i●l●in sight and comming thwa●t of low land strooke once upon a Rock that lay under water but without any harme that they saw they continue their course and raise Lan● on head which stret●hed to the North there they said p●●i●●l● that Robert Bilot by his Northern● course had l●●● th●●●●●s to the South and that in time they must s●●ke th●t way for reliefe having but small store left Bu● Bilot would still follow the land to the North saying that ●●●●●p●d in good time to finde what would relieve us that way as soone as to the South This Writer faith that hee told them that this Land was the Mai●● of Wostenholme Cape and that the shallow Rockey ground was the same that the Master ran down by when he went int● the great Bay Robert Ive● and all said it was not possible unlesse the Master had brought the Ship over land and willed them to looke into the Masters Card how well their course and it did agree they stood to the East and left the Maine land to the North by many small Ilands into a narrow gut betweene two Lands and anchored they went on the West side and found a great Horne and cockle grasse on the East side this Grasse was great reliefe to them for without it they could not have recovered the Capes for want of Victuall When they weighed Anchor the● doubled the Cape to the North which is high land even to the Capes which is North and South some 25. or 30. leagues then they stand to the North they saw of those Fowles which breed at the Capes and killed some at which time with great joy they raised the Capes and bearing for them came to the Ilands that lay in the mouth of the Streights but bearing in they ran upon a Rock and stood fast for 8. or 9. houres it was ebbe when they grounded but the next flood floated them off againe It was faire weather the ebbe came from the East and the flood from the West being afloate they stood to the Eastward and anchored This day he sent the Boat on land to kill Fowle they in the Ship had warning to stand as neere as they could but the winde being contrary they could not fetch the place where the Fowle breed but they found great store of Gulls upon the Cliffes but hard to come by but with their peeces they killed 30. and towards night returned on shipboard then they brought their Ship neerer the Mouth of the Streights and anchored in 18. Fathoin upon a Riffe or Shelfe but when they had wayed and stood to the place where the Fowle breed they were faine to stand to and againe in the Streights mouth under Sayle because they could not finde ground to Anchor in the water was so deepe The Boat went to Diggs Cape and made directly for the place where the Fowle breed where they see 7. Boats came about the Easterne point towards them but when the Salvages saw their Boat they draw their lesser Boats into their bigger and when they had done they came rowing to their Boat and made signes to the rest our men made ready for all essayes the Saluages came to them and they grew familiar one with another so as ours tooke one of theirs into their Boate and they tooke one of ours into theirs then they carried our Men to a Cove where their Tents stood to the Westward of the place where the Fowle breed so they carryed our Man into their Tents where he remained untill our men returned theirs In our Boat went their man to the place where the Fowle breed and wee being desirous to know how the Salvages killed their Fowle hee shewed them the manner how which was thus They tooke a long Pole with a snare at the end which they put about the Fowles neck and so pluck them downe When our men knew that we had a better way and so shewed the Salvages the use of our Peeces which at one shot would kill 7. or 8. To bee short they returned to the Cove to receive our man and to deliver heirs When they came they made great joy with dancing leaping and striking of their breasts they offered divers things to our Men but they onely tooke some Mores teeth which they gave them for a knife and two glasse Buttons so receiving our Man they came abroad rejoycing at this chance as if they had met with the most simple people of the World And Henry Greene more then the rest was so confident that by no meanes we should take care to stand upon our guarde God blinded him so that where he thought to receive great matters from this people he received more then hee looked for and that suddenly by being made an example for all men that make no conscience of doing evill and that wee take heed how wee trust the Salvage people how simple soever they seeme to be They made haste to be on shore and because the Ship rid farre off they weighed and stood as neere the place where the Fowle breed as they could and because he this Writer was lame he was to goe into Boat to carry such things as he had in the Cabbine of every thing some what And so with more hast then good speed and not without swearing away he went as Henry Greene William Wilson John Thomas Michael Pierce Andrew Motter and himselfe When they came neere the shore the people were on the hills dancing and leaping to the Cove we came where they had drawn up their Boats Wee brought our Boat to the East side of the Cove close to the Rocks on land they goe and make fast the Boat to a great stone on the shore the people came and every one had something in his hand to barter but Henry Greene swore that they should have nothing untill he had Ve●ison

E. or W. as for the most part it doth the W. is cleare faire and hot Sun-shine but the aire is cold when it Veereth about as once in 3. dayes and by the S. it is either thick raine soft sleet or warme fog the wind E. or thereabout these done he changeth to the W. againe bringing the weather faire as before I did thinke that this day the Tide set forth this morning we saw Cape Charles 12 leag off S S East The Sunne did rise cleare at clocke 8 came on a Fogge and Da 7 continued unto one wee had store of ice to the S. off us then it cleared and we were come to the Westward amongst much ice and had sight of a high Iland bearing W. about 6 or 7. leag off wee saw also the high land of the N. maine 12 leag off The Sun set valed and we had no ground at 150 fath it fell to raine and I tooke in both topsailes and stood to and againe among the Ice This morning was cold with some snow and the W. wind Da 8 blew hard we made the ship fast to a great peece of yce which she plowed through the rest by force of the Gale although we had made her as snug as we could at Noone we were in 63 deg 31 min. now the wind calmed and I made loose and stood to the N. and at Sun setting I had sight of the N. Maine Moneths Iuly againe the Sun ser cleare this evening This mornings Sun raise cleare and I stood to the N close Da 10 to an Iland nere the Maire which Iland at my returne I named Ile Nicholas from which with a S W. wind I stood over to the Southward and stood with the Iland I saw the 7th day before I hoped it would prove Salisbury this day ended wee made fast againe for all this North Channell was thick with ice upon which we silled 2 hoggsheads with fresh water I loosed againe and with a small gale came within 4 miles of Salisburies Iland for it can be no other it is high land but not clifled I caused to make fast againe for that nere the land and the middle Channell was all full of ice and no ground at 120 fath and untill 6. the tide set Westward and then it returned what tide it was I could not discerne although I came so nere the land

and Iland in 30 fathomes the tyde went E. 2 knots the land lay E and West but I could not fully say it was an Iland for it lay like a Ridge or to Simily it like to the Retyres in the mouth of the River of Saine in Normandie I do hold that all those peeces of ice here are ingendered about those low Capes and Bayes as Mansils also is where easie tides goe they are soone frose over the Snow falling there on thickneth them so that by degrees they increases the Pettiedancere brought nor sent us any storme this night ended in raine and it was easie wind from the E N E. Wee made from the Ice this morning to stand to the land Da 21 we see last night it was ebbe tyde and set to the E. and I plide alongst it to find a fit place for the boate to land in it was iust at low water for they were glad to stay the setting of their glasse untill the tyde began to flowe And after that time clock 10. they staied untill it began to fall viz. 4 houres and so I accounted on shipboard riding upon 6 fath nere shoare the water so transparent as you might easily see the bottome the ice comming upon us we weyed Anchor the wind came gently from the N. we stood it upon the tyde to and againe along the land loofing and wareing from ice which came driving with the flood At their comming on board their accompt was this that the tyde did flowe but 4. howres and that it heightned but 6. foote and this was 2 dayes after the Coniunction of the Sunne and Moone so that the flood began at ½ past 10. and ended at ½ past 2. by this a South and by W. Moon makes a full Sea and the tydes motion ends with the flowing assuredly this was Carie Swans nest for both from East and West ends it stretcheth to the North our men chast Swans on shoare but got none they say there is earth strange Mosse Quag-myres and water plashes at clocke 4. I tocke leave and stood along from 6. fathomes into 30 loosing sight thereof and from thence I stood to the Westward● with North-West wind close haled leaving both th● Cape and the Ice behinde mee for the Sea Mors to sleepe upon there being good store thereabout Moneths July From the Cape or Swannes Nest this noone-tyde I was Da 22 16 leagues and one mile no ground at 70 fathomes for I was loth to stay the ship at any time me thought sayling had been uncouth but at 4 this morning I had 90 fathomes owzy ground thicke weather the wind easie and shifting betwixt N and N W. my way was to Southward of West This Meridian I was in 61 deg 37 min. at 8 the last day I Da 23 tooke the ship about and made way untill this day 12 11 leagues 2 miles N W. ½ W. it hath beene a faire cleare day easie winds the ayre warme and no Ice since I came into this Sea I did but thinke I saw land at N E. by E. This smooth Sea hath a small set from the West with lippering rising and falling as other Shallow Seas use to have the deepe last night was 115 fathomes I made way to this day 12 N W. by W. ½ W. 13 leagues This close morning hid the Sunne untill noone we being Da 24 in 120 fathomes the afternoone was cleare and gently breathed from W N W. I have not tryed for fish in this Sea as I did in Fretum Hudson where I got none I thanke God here we have not the like leisure here are some Seales but few Fowles the latitude of noone was 62 deg 20 min. here appeares to be more Riplins of Tyde the variation by Azimuth and Almicanter was 26 deg 31. min. at most the Sunne went cleare to bed and at midnight we had 60 fathomes deepe This morning Amplitude was 5 deg the Refraction is Da 25 great here and the Horizons thicke which begets uncertainties besides the Needle yet is very slow in comming to his respective point I now hope for warmer weather and clearer Sea than heretofore at noone I had 55 fathomes in latitude to 62 deg 36 min. since last day I made way N by E. 18 leagues faire weather the Sunne went downe cleare Ioy to our Antipodes the Henban flashing all night was a Da 26 hot day in as England in the morning I had 58 fathomes and white Corall the latitude 63 deg 20 min. the way since last day was N. 4 deg East 18 leagues since clocke 4 wee lay Larbord Tack N. W. it was a few drops of raine this Evening yet the Sunne set cleare and wee had deepe 65 fathomes at midnight and then was in the Ayre many Pettie-dancers The last night was so hot as it dryed up 15 fathomes water Moneths Iuly Da 27 for this morning we had but 50 the wind was betweene W and N N W. here was great store of Rockeweed and Tangle In the Ripline of a Tide I caused the boat to be lanched in 31 fathomes the Tyde came from N. by W. ½ a mile in an houre All this day the fog banks hath deceived mee but now I am sure I see land both the maine and Ilands of which there are many lying about 2 leagues into the Sea all ragged and broken rocks within this land bore from N. E. by E. to W. by S. here are great store of fish leaping and fairer weather cannot be I have sent the boat to land and to my comfort three things I could espie by the shore that it was flood Tyde and that it came from the Southward and that it doth flow and fall very much water before we came neere the Iland wee came over a banke of 8 fathomes and neerer the Iland we fell into 15. there seeming upon the land to be Poles erected and buildings of stone and other hillocks like Haycocks The boat went on land at clocke 6. and stayed 3 glasses or one houre and ½ in which time it flowed neere sixe foot it was flood before they went for while they were rowing to shore I did observe it had flowed at least 3 foot by certain rocks that were dry at our first approach they say that it had about 9 foot to flow at clocke 8. the tide returned and set to S. W. ward which sheweth that it runs halfe tide or else the Main beyond it is an Iland about which the tyde may have an uncontrary course as in some of the Sounds of the Iland of Selly at Englands W. end this Iland doth lie in 64 d. 10. m. of latitude and I took this place to be the N. E. side of Sir Thomas Buttons ut ultra I could see to the N. E. ward of this at least 10 leagues but no land at E. or S. E. it being as cleare an evening as could be imagined the land to be seene was from the N N. E. to the
