Tunnes laden from Mexico and Saint Iohn de Vlhua with seuen hundred hides sixe chists of Cochenele certaine chists of Sugar and some Siluer The Captaine was an Italian and had in her fiue and twentie thousand Duckets aduenture Thus full of ioy they resolued homewards but Sea-fortunes are variable hauing two inconstant Parents Aire and Water His Lordship sent Captaine Lyster in the Mexican prize for Portsmouth which at Helcl●ffe in Cornwall was wracked the Captaine and all his companie drowned except fiue or sixe Scarsitie of drinke caused by contrarie windes caused his Lordship to seeke to recouer some part of Ireland for reliefe but wayting for entrance was put off againe their Beere and Water being all spent Three spoonfuls of vineger were allowed to each man at a meale with some small reliefe squeezed out of the l●es of their wine vessels which continued fourteene dayes without other supply then the drops of Haile and Raine carefully saued with Sheets and Napkins Some dranke vp the soyled running water at the Scupper-holes others saued by deuise the runnings downe the Masts and ●arred Ropes and many licked the moist Boards Railes and Masts with their tongues like Dogs Yet was that Raine so intermingled with the sprie of the foaming Seas in that extreme storme that it could not be healthfull yea some in their extremitie of thirst dranke themselues to death with their Cannes of salt-water in their hands Notwithstanding this extreme scarsitie his noble charitie caused equall distribution of the small store they had aswell to all his prisoners as to his owne people By this time the lamentable cryes of the sicke and hurt men for drinke was heard in euery corner of the ship for want whereof many perished ten or twelue euery night more then otherwise had miscarried in the whole Voyage The storme continuing added to their misery tearing the ship in such sort as his Lordships Cabbin the dining roome and halfe Decke became all one and he was forced to seeke a new lodging in the hold His minde was yet vndaunted and present his bodily presence and preuentions readie The last of Nouember hee spake with an English ship which promised him the next morning two or three tunnes of Wine but soone after vnfortunately came on ground The next day hee had some supply of Beere but not sufficient to enable him to vndertake for England Hee therefore the winde seruing put into Ventre Hauen in the Westermost part of Ireland where hauing well refreshed the twentieth of December he set sayle for England His Lordship in this Voyage tooke thirteene Prizes but that which was worth more then all the rest was lost yet the profit redoubled his aduentures At his arriuall in London hee met with the vnfortunate newes of the death of his eldest Sonne Francis Lord Clifford which died the twelfth of December 1589. yet was comforted with the birth of the Ladie Anne Clifford borne the last of Ianuary following his Daughter and by the death of Robert Lord Clifford who dyed the fourteenth of May 1591. his heire now the vertuous wife of the Right Honourable Richard Earle of Dorset THis Honourable Sparke was further kindled and enflamed by former disasters and obtayning of her Majestie a new ship called the Garland a ship of sixe hundred tunnes added the Samson Vice-admirall a ship of his Lordships of two hundred and sixtie tunnes the Golden Noble Reare-admirall and to them the Allagarta and a small Pinnasse called the Discouerie With these he set forth 1591. at his owne charge to the Coast of Spaine where hee tooke good purchase a ship laden at Saint Thomas with Sugars which he was forced to cast off by an irrecouerable leake another also which after long contrary winds in her course for England was driuen to put into a Spanish Harbour for want of victuals But in two other hee was more vnfortunate For Captayne Munson being sent to dispatch the goods and the Golden Noble to accompany them

Nations of Indians These liue on the Sea Coast and in a great part of the Land all of one Speech though they differ in some words This is that which the Portugals doe vnderstand it is easie eloquent pleasant and copious the difficultie of it is in hauing many comparisons but of the Portugals almost all those that came from the Kingdome and are seated here and doe communicate with the Indians do know it in a short time and the children of the Portugals borne here doe speake it better then the Portugall as well men as women chiefly in the Captainship of Saint Vincent and with these ten Nations of Indians haue the Fathers communication because they know their Language and they more tame and well inclined These were and are the ancient friends of the Portugals with whose helpe and armes they conquered this Countrie fighting against their owne kindred and diuers other Nations very barbarous and those of this generation were so many that it seemed an impossible thing to extinguish them but the Portugals haue made such haste that they are almost dead and they vse such meanes that they disinhabit the Coast and flie the Land inward some three hundred some foure hundred The first of this Language are called Pitiguaras Lords of Parayba thirtie leagues from Pernambuco and haue the best Brasill woode and are great friends to the Frenchmen and did contract with them vntill now marrying their Daughters with them but now in the yeere 1584. Parayba was taken by Iames Flares his Maiesties Generall driuing out the Frenchmen and he left a Fortresse with 100. Souldiers besides the Portugals which also haue their Captaine and Gouernour one Fructuoso Barbosa that with the principall men of Pernambuco carried an Armie by Land wherewith he ouercame the enemies for from the Sea those of the Armada fought not Neere vnto these liued a great multitude of people which they call Viatan of these there are are none alreadie for they being friends with the Pitaguaras and Kindred the Portugals made them enemies among themselues giuing them to be eaten that by this meanes they might warre against them and hold them for slaues and finally hauing a great dearth the Portugals in stead of releeuing them tooke them Captiues and did send ship-loades to bee sold in other places There was ioyned with this a Magician Portugall Priest that with his deceits conueighed them all to Pernambucò and so ended this Nation The Portugals remained without Neighbours to defend them from the Pitiguaras which vntill now that they were ouercome persecuted the Portugals setting on a sudden vpon their Corne Goods and Sugar-mils burning and killing many of the Portugals because they are verie warlike but now by the goodnesse of God they are freed from this incumbrance Others there be that they call Tupinaba these inhabit from the Riuer Royall till ye come neere the Illeos these were also among themselues contrarie those of the Bay with them of Camam● and Intrare Along the Riuer of Saint Francis dwelt another Nation called Caaete and among these were also contrarieties with them of Pernambuco From Illeos or the little Ilands and Port Secure vnto the Holy Ghost inhabited another Nation called Tupinaquin these proceeded from those of Pernambuco and scattered themselues in a Countrie of the Maine multiplying exceedingly but now they are but few These were alwaies great enemies of the things of God hardened in their errours verie reuengefull and would reuenge themselues as soone as they see their enemies and louers of many women of these alreadie are many Christians and they are firme in the faith There is another Nation a kinne to these which runneth off the Maine from Saint Vincent to Pernambuco called Tupiguae these were without number they doe diminish for the Portugals doe goe to seeke them to serue themselues with them and those which escape doe flee verie farre off that they may not be slaues There is another Nation Neighbour to this called Apigapigtanga and Muriapigtanga There is also another Nation contrarie to the Tupinaquins which are called Guaracayo or Itati Another Nation dwelleth in the Holy Ghost called Timim●uo they were contrarie to the Tupinaquins but they are now verie few Another Nation which is called Tamuya inhabitors of the Riuer of Ianuarie these the Portugals destroyed when they inhabited the Riuer and of them there be verie few and some that are in the Maine are called Ararape another Nation inhabiteth beyond Saint Vincent about eightie leagues enemies of the Tupinaquins of Saint Vincent of these there are infinite multitudes and doe runne along the Sea Coast and in the Maine vnto the Paraguai which the Castilians doe inhabite all these Nations abouesaid though different and many of them enemies one to another they haue the Language and their conuersion is in hand and they haue a great respect to the Fathers of the company of Iesus and in the Maine they sigh for them and call them Abare and Father desiring they would come to their Countries and conuert them and such is their reputation that some Portugals of badde consciences doe faine themselues Fathers apparelling themselues in Gownes shauing their crownes and telling them they are Abares and that they came to seeke them for the Churches of the Fathers which are theirs aswell as ours Thus they seduce them and assoone as they come to the Sea they diuide them among themselues sell and marke them making first a great slaughter of them in the Countrie robberies and assaults taking away their Daughters and their Wiues c. And if it were not for these and other like hinderances all those of this Language had beene conuerted to our holy Faith There be other contrarie Nations enemies to these of diuers Languages which in a generall name are called Tapuya and they are contrarie also among themselues In the Maine first neighbouring to the Tupinaquins inhabit the Guamures and they occupie some eightie leagues of Coast and toward the Mayne all that they list They are Lords of the wild Woods very great bodied and by the continuance and custome of going through the Woods they haue their skinnes very hard and for this effect they beate their children being young with certaine Thistles to accustome them to goe in the wilde Woods They haue no Husbandrie they liue by rapine and by the point of the Arrow they eate the Mandioca raw and it doth them no hurt they runne verie swiftly and to the White men they come not but on a sudden They vse verie great Bowes they carrie certaine stones made a purpose verie bigge that wheresoeuer they hit they may presently breake the heads in pieces And when they come to fight they hide themselues vnder shrubs and from thence they play their part they are greatly feared there is no power in the world that is able to ouercome them They are great cowards in the fields and dare not

soeuer they be doe neuerthelesse keepe them to one and their owne wife as nature and necessitie teacheth and yet we see some Spaniard haue fourteene or more which Gods Commandements doe forbid The Indians deuoure no mans goods they doe no man wrong they doe not vexe trouble or slay any where themselues doe see the Spaniards commit all sinnes iniquities and treacheries that man can commit against all equitie and iustice To be briefe the Indians doe not beleeue any thing but doe mocke at all that is shewed them of God being in truth fully rooted in this opinion of our God that he is the worst and most vniust and the most wicked of all Gods because he hath such seruants also concerning your Maiestie they thinke you the most vniust and cruell of all Kings because you doe both send thither and keepe here such euill Subiects supposing that your Maiestie doth feed vpon humane flesh and bloud The Spaniards hauing authoritie to command or particular interest in the Indies cannot by reason of their great couetousnesse abstaine from afflicting troubling disquieting vexing or oppressing the Indians taking away their goods lands wiues or children and vsing among them many other kindes of iniquitie for the which they can haue no redresse sanction or warrant at your Maiesties chiefe Iustice because the Spaniards doe make them afraide yea sometimes doe kill them lest they should complaine They doe night and day mourne after their Gods thinking them to be better then ours at whom they sustaine such harmes while contrariwise of their owne they reape there so many commodities and there is nothing that troubleth them so much as the Christians Wee can shew to your Maiestie that the Spaniards haue within eight and thirty or forty yeeres slaine of iust accompt aboue twelue millions of your Subiects I will not say how mightily this world of people might haue multiplied This Countrey being the fertilest whether for cattell or mankinde that is in the world the soyle being for the most part more temperate and fauourable to humane generation All these innumerable persons and all these people haue the Spaniards slaine to the end to beare sway gouerne and command ouer the rest and when in vniust warres they haue slaine them then doe they vse the rest who iustly haue withstood them in drawing Gold and Siluer yoking them together like beasts to make them carrie their burdens What plague of pestilence or mortalitie could there haue fallen from heauen that had beene able to consume or make waste aboue 2500. leagues of flat Country replenished with people and would not haue left either trauailer or inhabitant The Spaniards onely for their temporall commoditie haue blemished the Indies with the greatest infamie that any man euen among the most horrible and villanous persons in the world could be charged withall and whereby they haue sought to take them out of the degree of mankinde namely that they were all polluted with the abominable sinne against nature which is a wretched and false slander For in all the great Iles Hispaniola Saint Iohn Cuba and Lamaica Also in the sixtie Iles of Lucayos which were inhabited with an infinite number of people the same was neuer thought vpon in some other part there is a voice of a few for whole sakes neuerthelesse all that world is not to be condemned We may say as much of the eating of mans flesh which likewise those places that I haue named are free of although that in other places thy doe it indeede They be also charged with their Idolatrie The Spaniards haue purposely and effectually hindered the teaching of the Law of God and Iesus Christ with all other vertues among the Indians and driuen away the Religious persons out of Townes and Fortresses least they should see and disclose their tyrannies yea they haue by their euill example infected and corrupted the Indies teaching them many odious behauiours and vices which before they knew not as blaspheming the name of Iesus Christ practising of vsurie lying and many other abhominations wholly repugnant to their nature The Spaniards doe sucke from the Indians the whole substance of their bodies because they haue nothing else in their houses They make them spit bloud They exhibite them to all dangers They lay vpon them sundry and intollerable trauailes and more then all this They loade them with torments beatings and sorrowings To be briefe they spoile and consume a thousand manner of wayes Besides all that the Indians doe indure in seruing and pleasing the Spaniards there is yet a butcher or cruell hangman to keepe them in awe appointed in euery Towne and place and is tearmed Estanciero or Calpisque who hath authoritie to lay his clawes vpon them and to make them labour and doe what the Lord Commander or chiefe thiefe will So as if in hell there were no other torment yet were this incomparable This hangman whippeth them he ladeth them with stripes he basteth them with scalding grease he afflicteth them with continuall torments and trauels hee forceth and defloureth their daughters and wiues dishonouring and abusing them he deuoureth their Hens which are their greatest treasure not because themselues doe eate them but that of them they offer presents and seruice to their greatest Lord and chiefe tyrant he vexeth them with innumerable other torments and griefes and least they should complaine of so many iniuries and miseries this tyrant putteth them in feare saying that hee will accuse them and say that he see them commit Idolatry To be briefe they must please and content aboue twenty disordinate and vnreasonable persons so as they haue foure Lords and Masters Your Maiestie their Cacique him that hath them in commendam and the Estanciero of whom I last spake which Estanciero is to them more grieuous to beare then a quintall of lead among which we may also in truth adde all the Mochachos and Moores that doe serue the Commander and Master for they all doe molest oppresse and rob these poore people It is greatly to be feared least God will lay Spaine desolate euen for those horrible sinnes that this Nation hath committed in the Indies whereof we doe euidently behold the scourge and all the world doth see and confesse that already it hangeth ouer our heads wherewith God doth afflict and shew that he is highly offended in those parts through the great destruction and waste of those Nations in that of so great treasures haue bin transported out of the Indies into Spaine the like quantitie of Gold and Siluer neither King Salomon neither any other worldly Prince euer had saw or heard of there is none left besides that of that that was here before the Indies were discouered there is now none to be found no neuer a whit Hereof it commeth that things are thrise dearer then they were the poore that haue want doe suffer great miseries and your Maiestie cannot dispatch matters of great importance So long as Lares
