A15069	A discourse and discouery of Nevv-found-land with many reasons to prooue how worthy and beneficiall a plantation may there be made, after a far better manner than now it is. 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. Written by Captaine Richard Whitbourne of Exmouth, in the county of Deuon, and published by authority.	Whitbourne, Richard, Sir, fl. 1579-1626.	1620 (1620)	STC 25372; ESTC S111717	48,883	94

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 ship_n may_v be_v fill_v with_o good_a fish_n and_o other_o profitable_a thing_n if_o those_o 16._o man_n be_v leave_v behind_o in_o the_o country_n where_o they_o may_v be_v well_o employ_v which_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

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 but_o also_o to_o sell_v far_o better_a cheap_a than_o any_o of_o these_o nation_n can_v possible_o fetch_v the_o same_o from_o thence_o with_o their_o own_o ship_n and_o labour_n and_o which_o of_o
