Together with the laying open of certaine enormities and abuses commited by some that trade to that countrey, and the meanes laide downe for reformation thereof.

shall_v read_v over_o this_o discourse_n and_o consider_v well_o of_o the_o particular_a motive_n herein_o express_v whereby_o a_o plantation_n there_o shall_v be_v embrace_v they_o will_v be_v well_o satisfy_v therein_o and_o i_o suppose_v forbear_v to_o say_v it_o be_v such_o a_o rocky_a and_o cold_a country_n as_o be_v unfit_a to_o be_v plant_v i_o have_v be_v several_a time_n in_o norway_n where_o the_o country_n be_v in_o most_o place_n more_o rocky_a and_o mountainous_a than_o the_o newfoundland_n and_o lie_v above_o six_o degree_n more_o to_o the_o north_n and_o yet_o very_o beneficial_a to_o the_o king_n of_o denmark_n where_o many_o of_o his_o majesty_n subject_n live_v pleasant_o but_o the_o newfoundland_n be_v much_o more_o pleasant_a to_o live_v in_o i_o have_v often_o see_v the_o coast_n of_o biskay_n and_o portugal_n all_o along_o the_o sea-coast_n how_o rocky_a barren_a and_o mountainous_a these_o country_n be_v in_o most_o place_n although_o they_o lie_v in_o a_o pleasant_a and_o temperate_a climate_n if_o such_o which_o shall_v dispraise_v the_o newfoundland_n have_v see_v it_o as_o i_o have_v they_o will_v not_o only_o like_o well_o and_o be_v in_o love_n to_o further_a the_o desire_a plantation_n but_o also_o admire_v how_o the_o people_n in_o those_o other_o country_n do_v live_v by_o their_o good_a industry_n and_o seek_v out_o little_a place_n among_o the_o rock_n and_o in_o the_o side_n of_o hill_n and_o mountain_n vine_n to_o set_v and_o sow_v their_o seed_n for_o root_n cabage_n onion_n and_o such_o like_a whereby_o they_o receive_v great_a comfort_n for_o all_o alongst_o those_o part_n on_o the_o sea-coast_n their_o best_a mean_n of_o live_v be_v by_o fish_v and_o other_o trade_n by_o sea_n the_o like_a benefit_n may_v all_o such_o have_v that_o will_v plant_v at_o newfoundland_n and_o much_o better_a in_o many_o other_o thing_n as_o be_v already_o sufficient_o touch_v likewise_o it_o be_v well_o know_v to_o all_o those_o that_o have_v travail_v from_o thence_o all_o along_o the_o coast_n of_o spain_n even_o to_o granada_n how_o barren_a and_o rocky_a those_o part_n of_o spain_n be_v also_o in_o most_o place_n and_o yet_o the_o people_n by_o their_o good_a industry_n plant_v many_o of_o their_o vine_n and_o other_o fruit_n on_o the_o side_n of_o some_o steep_a hill_n among_o the_o rock_n where_o man_n be_v fain_o in_o diverse_a place_n even_o to_o creep_v on_o their_o hand_n and_o knee_n to_o prune_v the_o say_a vine_n and_o gather_v the_o grape_n of_o they_o to_o make_v their_o strong_a wine_n and_o sweet_a raisin_n withal_o which_o we_o so_o much_o delight_n to_o taste_v in_o those_o toothsome_a and_o delightful_a commodity_n our_o merchant_n bestow_v much_o money_n which_o the_o newfoundland_n trade_n and_o commodity_n have_v from_o thence_o will_v be_v able_a in_o little_a time_n if_o it_o be_v people_v as_o aforesaid_a to_o supply_v all_o your_o majesty_n kingdom_n withal_o with_o the_o sale_n of_o such_o commodity_n have_v from_o thence_o to_o be_v employ_v therein_o likewise_o from_o granada_n to_o carthagena_n alicant_n denia_n and_o from_o thence_o even_o to_o the_o city_n of_o valencia_n which_o be_v a_o large_a circuit_n the_o most_o part_v all_o along_o as_o i_o have_v travel_v by_o land_n be_v very_o barren_a rocky_a and_o mountainous_a that_o very_o few_o cattle_n sheep_n goat_n or_o any_o other_o beast_n be_v able_a to_o live_v there_o &_o yet_o do_v the_o people_n in_o those_o part_n use_v great_a industry_n to_o plant_v their_o vine_n and_o other_o fruit_n whereby_o they_o seek_v out_o their_o best_a mean_n they_o have_v to_o live_v and_o likewise_o also_o in_o diverse_a other_o place_n near_o the_o mediterranean_a sea_n from_o thence_o to_o bassalonia_n marseilles_n savoy_n and_o genua_n and_o in_o diverse_a other_o place_n in_o italy_n these_o country_n be_v very_o rocky_a and_o mountainous_a and_o yet_o those_o place_n do_v abound_v with_o many_o other_o rich_a blessing_n by_o mean_n of_o the_o people_n good_a industry_n there_o and_o so_o by_o reason_n thereof_o the_o people_n in_o all_o those_o part_n from_o the_o coast_n of_o biskay_n unto_o italy_n and_o also_o the_o most_o part_n of_o france_n gascoigne_n britain_n normandy_n and_o picardy_n be_v by_o the_o newfoundland_n fish_n great_o relieve_v which_o fish_n be_v in_o all_o those_o part_n in_o great_a request_n and_o steed_n they_o great_o and_o do_v sell_v very_o well_o there_o most_o common_o and_o so_o likewise_o in_o england_n great_a abundance_n thereof_o be_v spend_v which_o be_v well_o consider_v i_o know_v no_o reason_n to_o the_o contrary_a but_o that_o the_o subject_n of_o all_o your_o majesty_n kingdom_n shall_v be_v most_o willing_a to_o further_o that_o plantation_n and_o show_v their_o good_a industry_n to_o cleanse_v land_n there_o for_o corn_n and_o woade_n and_o plant_v diverse_a kind_n of_o fruit_n which_o questionless_a will_v also_o prove_v very_o well_o there_o and_o then_o will_v it_o be_v to_o all_o your_o majesty_n kingdom_n such_o a_o nursery_n to_o get_v wealth_n and_o increase_v and_o maintain_v ship_n and_o beget_v serviceable_a seaman_n as_o great_a britain_n have_v never_o the_o like_a with_o these_o good_a blessing_n which_o be_v before_o recite_v be_v follow_v by_o industrious_a spirit_n there_o be_v a_o great_a hope_n of_o a_o plentiful_a harvest_n unto_o your_o majesty_n and_o kingdom_n thereby_o god_n send_v good_a seeds-man_n and_o planter_n to_o set_v it_o forward_o as_o i_o trust_v in_o god_n it_o will_v have_v see_v it_o have_v already_o have_v many_o right_n honourable_a and_o worthy_a father_n to_o commend_v it_o and_o although_o that_o since_o i_o presume_v to_o write_v this_o discourse_n i_o have_v be_v often_o disharten_v from_o proceed_v herein_o yet_o when_o i_o do_v remember_v columbus_n his_o good_a endeavour_n that_o first_o and_o patient_a discoverer_n of_o the_o west_n indies_n who_o if_o god_n have_v not_o harten_v he_o on_o with_o a_o worthy_a mind_n and_o a_o bosom_n arm_v for_o all_o the_o storm_n of_o cross_a fortune_n he_o have_v never_o finish_v that_o honourable_a attempt_n for_o find_v such_o a_o happy_a business_n out_o the_o which_o discovery_n of_o he_o have_v ever_o since_o fill_v the_o spanish_a coffer_n with_o gold_n and_o silver_n and_o make_v that_o nation_n lord_n of_o the_o great_a riches_n under_o the_o sun_n and_o although_o that_o attempt_n of_o he_o be_v hold_v at_o first_o impossible_a to_o to_o come_v any_o good_a effect_n &_o columbus_n laugh_v at_o by_o some_o yet_o ever_o sithence_o by_o his_o attempt_n i_o may_v say_v that_o spain_n have_v have_v from_o thence_o to_o help_v to_o furnish_v other_o christian_a kingdom_n with_o gold_n silver_n and_o diverse_a other_o great_a riches_n and_o also_o now_o to_o that_o country_n so_o discover_v those_o commodity_n that_o great_a britain_n may_v yearly_o well_o spare_v and_o other_o country_n also_o be_v the_o better_o vent_v and_o so_o likewise_o may_v the_o newfoundland_n and_o the_o part_n of_o america_n near_o thereunto_o prove_v beneficial_a for_o diverse_a trade_n in_o little_a time_n these_o good_a motive_n consider_v what_o great_a good_a come_v unto_o christian_a kingdom_n by_o foreign_a plantation_n and_o what_o infinite_a wealth_n be_v yearly_o bring_v from_o the_o west_n indies_n into_o spain_n as_o i_o have_v there_o see_v land_v do_v put_v i_o in_o great_a hope_n that_o if_o there_o be_v a_o orderly_a plantation_n settle_v in_o newfoundland_n the_o trade_n to_o that_o country_n by_o your_o majesty_n subject_n and_o other_o place_n thereby_o may_v yearly_o be_v so_o beneficial_a to_o your_o majesty_n and_o your_o highness_n other_o kingdom_n as_o the_o west_n indies_n be_v now_o yearly_o worth_a to_o the_o king_n of_o spain_n now_o have_v thus_o commend_v the_o country_n of_o newfoundland_n in_o my_o opinion_n it_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v one_o of_o the_o least_o motive_n whereby_o to_o further_a this_o plantation_n the_o set_n of_o some_o better_a order_n and_o government_n among_o the_o fisherman_n and_o all_o other_o of_o our_o nation_n that_o yearly_a trade_n there_o then_o now_o there_o be_v so_o that_o there_o may_v be_v a_o reformation_n of_o such_o abuse_n as_o be_v there_o yearly_o commit_v wherein_o it_o be_v well_o know_v that_o i_o have_v already_o use_v my_o best_a endeavour_n in_o the_o year_n 1615._o at_o which_o time_n i_o have_v a_o commission_n with_o i_o for_o that_o purpose_n under_o the_o broad_a seal_n of_o the_o admiralty_n and_o do_v then_o therewith_o set_v forth_o to_o follow_v that_o service_n from_o the_o port_n of_o exeter_n in_o the_o county_n of_o devon_n on_o the_o 11._o day_n of_o may_n 1615._o in_o a_o bark_n victual_v and_o man_v with_o 11._o man_n and_o boy_n at_o my_o own_o charge_n and_o i_o do_v then_o arrive_v at_o the_o coast_n of_o newfoundland_n
