and_o because_o my_o desire_n be_v that_o not_o only_a merchant_n or_o such_o as_o live_v near_o the_o seaside_n but_o also_o all_o other_o that_o shall_v give_v their_o furtherance_n to_o this_o plantation_n either_o by_o adventure_v their_o money_n or_o send_v man_n thither_o because_o it_o be_v to_o be_v undertake_v by_o man_n of_o good_a ability_n and_o in_o such_o manner_n as_o the_o wealthy_a man_n do_v in_o other_o country_n join_v their_o purse_n to_o further_o any_o such_o good_a work_n i_o think_v it_o fit_a to_o show_v how_o such_o person_n may_v adventure_v to_o that_o country_n though_o they_o dwell_v far_o from_o the_o sea-coast_n and_o other_o likewise_o that_o dwell_v near_o may_v do_v it_o with_o little_a trouble_n but_o only_o by_o a_o trusty_a servant_n to_o give_v account_n yearly_o of_o his_o disbursing_n and_o likewise_o of_o his_o receipt_n which_o i_o trust_v will_v be_v very_o beneficial_a to_o all_o such_o as_o will_v adventure_v therein_o some_o who_o dwell_v far_o from_o the_o sea-coast_n may_v say_v they_o be_v so_o far_o off_o that_o they_o shall_v be_v but_o little_a the_o better_a for_o a_o plantation_n to_o be_v make_v in_o

how_o it_o may_v in_o little_a time_n be_v worth_a double_a to_o your_o majesty_n subject_n in_o respect_n of_o what_o now_o it_o be_v even_o in_o the_o only_a trade_n of_o fish_v beside_o the_o good_a that_o may_v come_v by_o other_o commodity_n to_o such_o therefore_o that_o shall_v here_o object_v that_o those_o that_o live_v far_o from_o the_o sea_n whether_o gentleman_n or_o other_o and_o be_v not_o experience_v in_o affair_n of_o this_o nature_n can_v so_o convenient_o adventure_v thither_o i_o answer_v that_o none_o of_o your_o majesty_n subject_n dwell_v further_a than_o 100_o

that_o come_v yearly_o more_o than_o 200._o mile_n to_o the_o city_n of_o seville_n purposely_o to_o sail_v to_o the_o west_n indies_n and_o do_v return_v rich_a so_o it_o may_v be_v also_o well_o understand_v by_o the_o follow_a discourse_n how_o commodious_o there_o may_v be_v send_v many_o people_n from_o any_o part_n of_o your_o majesty_n kingdom_n to_o be_v there_o employ_v that_o have_v

hope_n of_o the_o better_a success_n for_o to_o my_o knowledge_n diverse_a worthy_a gentleman_n that_o have_v adventure_v to_o the_o sea_n partly_o through_o their_o own_o conceit_n seem_v to_o know_v that_o which_o they_o do_v not_o have_v also_o oftentimes_o be_v animate_v on_o by_o some_o turbulent_a spirit_n that_o have_v outrun_v themselves_o and_o so_o bring_v man_n in_o such_o mind_n that_o on_o the_o coast_n of_o guinnie_n there_o they_o may_v gather_v up_o gold_n along_o the_o seashore_n wash_v up_o with_o the_o sea_n in_o great_a abundance_n and_o likewise_o if_o they_o will_v

newfoundland_n my_o opinion_n be_v they_o be_v best_o either_o to_o buy_v a_o ship_n of_o 100_o tun_n and_o a_o pinnace_n of_o 40._o tun_n or_o near_o such_o burden_n or_o else_o to_o hire_v the_o like_a ship_n to_o serve_v for_o the_o pass_n of_o people_n victual_n and_o provision_n in_o the_o spring_n of_o the_o year_n fit_a for_o such_o a_o purpose_n and_o for_o the_o return_v of_o such_o

the_o two_o as_o i_o conceive_v be_v for_o any_o such_o to_o buy_v a_o ship_n and_o a_o pinnace_n to_o serve_v for_o that_o purpose_n and_o then_o the_o pinnace_n may_v be_v send_v thither_o before_o the_o big_a ship_n whereby_o to_o settle_v and_o begin_v to_o such_o a_o convenient_a place_n for_o habitation_n as_o god_n shall_v direct_v they_o whither_o the_o great_a ship_n may_v repair_v and_o they_o may_v employ_v themselves_o all_o the_o time_n that_o there_o be_v good_a to_o be_v do_v in_o fish_v in_o that_o trade_n only_o and_o between_o the_o fail_n of_o the_o shoales_n of_o fish_n they_o may_v build_v house_n and_o other_o necessary_a thing_n in_o perfect_a readiness_n to_o be_v transport_v into_o spain_n portugal_n and_o other_o place_n beyond_o the_o sea_n much_o cheap_a than_o the_o hollander_n do_v see_v it_o be_v to_o be_v have_v there_o easy_o with_o man_n labour_n only_o and_o therefore_o more_o commodious_o from_o thence_o for_o we_o from_o those_o part_n than_o the_o hollander_n be_v able_a to_o serve_v they_o as_o now_o they_o do_v who_o buy_v such_o commodity_n with_o their_o money_n in_o spruce-land_n norway_n and_o other_o place_n and_o yet_o thereby_o gain_v much_o and_o increase_v a_o number_n of_o ship_n and_o mariner_n and_o set_v they_o a_o work_n continual_o now_o have_v show_v how_o man_n may_v undertake_v to_o further_a this_o plantation_n by_o provide_v ship_n for_o the_o fish_n trade_n as_o be_v former_o express_v i_o suppose_v that_o some_o worthy_a man_n that_o may_v be_v zealous_a and_o willing_a to_o further_o so_o pious_a honourable_a and_o beneficial_a a_o work_n may_v be_v unwilling_a to_o trouble_v themselves_o with_o the_o fish_n trade_n and_o yet_o very_o willing_a to_o further_o the_o say_a plantation_n after_o some_o other_o manner_n that_o may_v be_v less_o troublesome_a to_o they_o which_o they_o may_v well_o perform_v in_o this_o manner_n they_o may_v hire_v a_o ship_n with_o man_n and_o victual_v to_o sail_v from_o any_o part_n of_o your_o majesty_n kingdom_n to_o the_o newfoundland_n to_o carry_v people_n victual_n beast_n and_o other_o provision_n in_o such_o competent_a number_n as_o may_v be_v fit_a to_o pass_v in_o such_o a_o ship_n as_o any_o one_o shall_v so_o hire_v and_o have_v land_v such_o people_n and_o provision_n there_o to_o plant_v the_o say_a ship_n may_v there_o load_v fish_n from_o the_o fisherman_n and_o if_o any_o will_v plant_v in_o that_o manner_n they_o be_v to_o bargain_n for_o their_o fish_n here_o in_o england_n with_o such_o as_o do_v set_v forth_o ship_n in_o the_o fish_n trade_n which_o fish_n may_v be_v buy_v before_o hand_n of_o they_o to_o be_v deliver_v there_o at_o eight_o shilling_n the_o hundred_o weight_n or_o near_o that_o price_n and_o to_o pay_v for_o the_o same_o within_o forty_o day_n more_o or_o less_o after_o such_o time_n here_o in_o england_n that_o there_o come_v from_o thence_o the_o sight_n of_o any_o bill_n of_o exchange_n from_o those_o that_o receive_v the_o fish_n there_o in_o that_o manner_n and_o the_o ship_n so_o hire_v be_v there_o load_v may_v sail_v
once_o orderly_o settle_v and_o increase_v as_o aforesaid_a and_o then_o your_o majesty_n subject_n ship_n will_v be_v much_o big_a build_v for_o that_o trade_n and_o better_o furnish_v with_o good_a

i_o fear_v if_o occasion_n shall_v be_v offer_v may_v shoot_v their_o bullet_n at_o our_o own_o bosom_n as_o it_o be_v already_o too_o much_o see_v and_o whereas_o my_o opinion_n be_v that_o it_o be_v better_a to_o buy_v ship_n for_o that_o trade_n then_o to_o take_v they_o to_o hire_v as_o some_o do_v which_o yearly_o send_v ship_n thither_o to_o load_v either_o fish_n or_o train_n and_o transport_v it_o into_o france_n spain_n and_o other_o place_n those_o which_o hire_v ship_n be_v bind_v by_o condition_n under_o hand_n and_o seal_v which_o we_o call_v charter_n party_n wherein_o it_o be_v express_v in_o how_o many_o day_n the_o owner_n of_o the_o ship_n be_v to_o make_v they_o ready_a &_o how_o many_o day_n she_o must_v stay_v there_o to_o attend_v the_o merchant_n and_o such_o like_a condition_n and_o although_o the_o place_n where_o she_o arrive_v be_v never_o so_o much_o overlay_v with_o the_o like_a commodity_n that_o she_o bring_v yet_o there_o must_v she_o discharge_v and_o also_o relade_v though_o such_o commodity_n which_o she_o be_v to_o relade_v be_v there_o much_o dear_a than_o at_o some_o other_o place_n not_o far_o from_o it_o which_o have_v be_v a_o great_a loss_n to_o many_o merchant_n yea_o diverse_a cavil_n have_v rise_v thereby_o between_o they_o that_o have_v take_v and_o let_v ship_n in_o that_o manner_n therefore_o i_o hold_v that_o the_o buy_n of_o ship_n to_o follow_v that_o service_n be_v the_o best_a and_o profitable_a course_n that_o may_v be_v take_v therein_o for_o than_o they_o may_v send_v they_o to_o newfoundland_n or_o where_o they_o think_v good_a at_o all_o time_n of_o the_o year_n and_o to_o any_o place_n or_o so_o many_o place_n as_o may_v please_v god_n to_o direct_v they_o to_o make_v their_o sail_n and_o

also_o advise_v they_o to_o acquaint_v themselves_o with_o a_o fit_a man_n to_o be_v master_n in_o each_o ship_n that_o understand_v the_o order_n of_o a_o fish_n voyage_n to_o that_o country_n and_o he_o will_v procure_v fit_a fisherman_n to_o go_v with_o he_o for_o that_o purpose_n and_o likewise_o acquaint_v they_o with_o every_o particular_a thing_n that_o be_v fit_a for_o such_o a_o voyage_n and_o withal_o it_o be_v to_o be_v observe_v that_o for_o every_o such_o servant_n that_o any_o master_n will_v send_v thither_o to_o plant_v and_o live_v all_o the_o year_n he_o be_v to_o have_v a_o single_a share_n allow_v unto_o every_o man_n alike_o of_o such_o fish_n as_o be_v take_v while_o they_o labour_v together_o in_o the_o summer_n time_n with_o the_o ship_n company_n with_o who_o they_o be_v though_o afterward_o they_o stay_v in_o the_o land_n and_o follow_v some_o other_o service_n for_o their_o master_n while_o the_o ship_n be_v employ_v abroad_o in_o vent_v their_o

any_o man_n shall_v have_v of_o his_o master_n who_o do_v stay_v there_o all_o the_o winter_n with_o good_a advantage_n note_v also_o i_o pray_v that_o any_o ship_n which_o shall_v be_v so_o employ_v to_o fish_n only_o as_o now_o man_n use_v to_o do_v if_o she_o be_v 100_o tun_n do_v common_o carry_v in_o she_o 36._o man_n and_o boy_n and_o that_o ship_n will_v sail_v well_o to_o the_o

those_o who_o shall_v send_v so_o great_a a_o number_n thither_o to_o live_v all_o the_o year_n whereas_o now_o these_o 16._o man_n lie_v still_o in_o the_o ship_n at_o great_a charge_n every_o voyage_n much_o pester_v the_o ship_n with_o their_o person_n victual_n chest_n and_o diverse_a unprofitable_a thing_n to_o no_o good_a purpose_n as_o be_v touch_v before_o which_o place_n in_o the_o

be_v almost_o the_o one_o half_a part_n of_o such_o a_o ship_n company_n by_o this_o it_o may_v plain_o be_v understand_v that_o the_o victual_n which_o those_o 16._o man_n spend_v sail_v thither_o and_o return_v homeward_o and_o a_o month_n victual_n at_o least_o for_o all_o those_o 36._o man_n will_v yearly_a be_v save_v to_o maintain_v they_o there_o all_o the_o winter_n season_n with_o the_o

this_o rate_n poportionable_o from_o diverse_a ship_n great_a company_n may_v commodious_o and_o beneficial_o be_v raise_v to_o remain_v there_o in_o little_a time_n from_o such_o as_o will_v voluntary_o and_o willing_o entertain_v their_o certain_a place_n to_o make_v their_o fish_n on_o and_o plant_v for_o the_o most_o part_n of_o those_o man_n who_o may_v so_o well_o and_o beneficial_o remain_v there_o to_o plant_v may_v be_v some_o handycraftsman_n with_o their_o wife_n and_o some_o such_o other_o people_n as_o your_o majesty_n kingdom_n may_v very_o well_o spare_v do_v good_a to_o themselves_o their_o master_n and_o commonwealth_n learning_n experience_n and_o to_o be_v fit_a for_o service_n i_o be_o also_o confident_a in_o my_o opinion_n wherein_o i_o submit_v myself_o to_o deep_a judgement_n that_o if_o newfoundland_n may_v be_v thus_o plant_v our_o ship_n and_o mariner_n will_v be_v so_o increase_v increase_v that_o we_o may_v hereafter_o furnish_v france_n spain_n portugal_n and_o other_o country_n with_o such_o kind_n of_o fish_n as_o those_o sea_n do_v yield_v and_o so_o by_o this_o mean_v the_o whole_a fish_n trade_n on_o that_o coast_n may_v be_v draw_v into_o the_o hand_n of_o your_o majesty_n subject_n only_o and_o whether_o then_o it_o will_v be_v better_o for_o your_o majesty_n kingdom_n let_v each_o man_n judge_v i_o do_v not_o intend_v that_o other_o nation_n shall_v be_v prohibit_v the_o free_a privilege_n of_o fish_v fish_v which_o for_o many_o year_n they_o have_v enjoy_v there_o with_o we_o or_o that_o we_o shall_v assume_v it_o unto_o ourselves_o by_o strong_a hand_n or_o constrain_v those_o that_o come_v thither_o to_o take_v their_o fish_n of_o we_o at_o our_o price_n but_o this_o be_v my_o only_a meaning_n that_o whereas_o at_o this_o present_a the_o french_a bilcaines_n and_o portugal_n send_v yearly_o to_o that_o country_n many_o sail_n of_o ship_n as_o i_o have_v already_o declare_v our_o man_n by_o sail_v thither_o with_o few_o person_n and_o in_o less_o danger_n in_o every_o ship_n then_o now_o we_o do_v by_o multiply_v their_o voyage_n and_o spend_v less_o time_n and_o victual_n in_o the_o same_o and_o by_o carry_v more_o and_o better_a fish_n in_o every_o ship_n then_o now_o they_o use_v to_o do_v may_v be_v able_a not_o only_o to_o furnish_v france_n spain_n and_o italy_n with_o those_o commodity_n
