TO THE RIGHT NOBLE LEARNED AND TRVELY HONORABLE HENRY Lord HOWARD Earle of Northhampton Baron of Marnhill Constable of the Castle of Douer Lord Warden Chancellour and Admirall of the Cinque Ports Lord Priuy Seale Knight of the most Noble Order of the ●arter and one of his Maiesties most Honourable Priuy Councell RIGHT HONOVRABLE SEeing that by Nature our Country challengeth a greater interest in vs then our Parents Friends or Children can and that we ought for preseruation thereof oppose our liues vnto the greatest dangers It is the part of euery Natiue to endeauor something to the aduancement and profite thereof and not to affect ●t for that wee possesse in it but to loue it for it selfe as being the common Mother and Nourisher of vs all For mine owne part albeit my short fadome can compasse no such great designe as I desire yet from a willing minde as hee that offerd his hands full of water to great Artaxerxes I am bold to present this project of my honest and 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 beseeching

●rtherance Doubtlesse your ●tions and endeauours hauing all bene full of virtue and goodnesse are not the least preuailing motiues whereby his Maiesty hath so endeered you vnto him In this then you shall not thinke your selfe disparaged the matter being both honest and commendable and in true valew of as great substance as the offer of Sebastian Cabota to King Henry the seuenth for the discouery of the West Indies Humbly at your Lordships commandement Tobias Gentleman ENGLANDS WAY TO WIN WEALTH AND TO IM ploy Ships and Marriners NOble Brittaines for as much as it hath pleased the Almighty God to make vs a happy Nation by blessing and enriching this Noble Kingdome with the sweete dew of his heauenly word truely and plentifully Preached amongst vs and also in cytuating our Country in a most

youthfull time at Sea about ●isher affaires whereby now I am more skilfull in Nets Lines and Hookes then in Rethoricke Logicke or learned bookes yet in those fewe which I haue read besides the instinct of nature which maketh me to know that euery one should endeuour himselfe the best he is able to be beneficiall profitable to the Kingdome Common-wealth wherein hee is borne which was a forceable motiue to incite me to thinke of this present discourse the penning whereof was thus occasioned It was my fortune some two yeares past to bee sent for into the company of one Maister Iohn Ke●mar who is a man very well deseruing of his Country and hee knowing me to haue experience in Fisher affaires demanded of me the charge both of Busses and Line-boates after the Hollanders fashion and shewed vnto mee some few notes that hee had gathered and gotten from other men of my trade which hee seemed greatly to esteeme of for that himselfe was altogether vnexperimented in such businesse and further I deliuered to him certaine principall notes which hee seemed greatly to esteeme for that hee said that hee did mind to shew them vnto the right Honourable Counsell whereupon I entred into

haue so increased and multiplied their shipping and Marriners that all other Nations and Countries in the world doe admire them Moreouer whereas one Hauen in one of their Townes did in former times containe their ships and shipping with infinite cost now they haue cut out two Hauens more to a Towne and at this present are all three Hauens scarce sufficient with roome enough to containe their Ships and shipping and by reason of their industrious Fisher-trade not one of their people are idle nor none seene to begge amongst them except they bee some of our owne English Nation And what their chiefest tr●de is or their principall gold-mine is well knowne to all Merchants that haue vsed those parts and to my selfe and all Fishermen namely that his Ma●ies Seas is their chie●st principall and onely rich Treasury whereby they 〈◊〉 so long time maintained their warres and haue so greatly prospered and enriched themselues If that their little Countrey of the vnited Prouinces can doe this as it
