most renowned Brother Prince Hērie his many fauours towardes mee and princely furtherance of my humble sute vnto his Maiestie your royall Father and our dread Soueraigne for obtayning for mee his gracious Letters Pattents for the planting and inhabiting of all that tract of Land and part of Guiana betweene the riuers of Amazones Dessequebe scituate in America vnder the Equinoctiall Line Whereof I haue taken possession to his Maiesties vse and discouered the maritime parts I was greatly thereby incouraged to proceed in the enterprise and had vnder his Maiesties fauour deuoted my selfe vnto his seruice But now seeing by Gods permission your excellent Brother his princely Honour by right of succession is fallen vpon your Highnesse and verily hoping that you will not onely equall but also exceed him in vertuous exercises and aduancing all honorable actiōs and worthy enterprises I haue in like maner religiously vowed the best fruits and effects of my indeauors vnto your Highnesse seruice And for as much as that part of the world which wee now call America was heretofore in the yeere of our Lord 1170. discouered conquered and possessed by Madoc one of the sons of Owen Gwyneth

FAVORERS and wel-willers to the Plantation in GVIANA IT is the part of valiant and noble spirites to apply their indeuours to honourable and woorthie atchiuements but chiefely to frame their actions therein by the rule of vertue and accomplish the end for which they were created which is in their vocations to serue and glorifie GOD and to doe good vnto others For the better performance of their dueties in that behalfe let them examine their inclinations and dispositions in the course of their life and what they finde themselues most inclined vnto to that let them seriously bend their forces either to cherish or suppresse it to follow or forsake it according as it tendeth to vertue or vice to honour or disgrace As touching the courses of life inclining to the better part some men are naturally giuen to bee schollers either in Diuinity Philosophy or other learning some are more inclined to be Statists some to be Souldiers and trauellers some desire to bee Citizens and Merchants and some like best to leade Coun●trey life and follow husbandry and othersome are wholly inclined to the Mechannicall trades and handy crafts In all which professions as men are naturally addicted more or lesse they attaine to perfection and may thereby accomplish the end for which they were created But to vndertake any profession contrary to a mans naturall inclination is a losse of time a worke that yeldeth no profit but breedeth many inconueniences and destroyeth nature For the meere Scholler will neuer bee good Statist Souldier Merchant nor Mechanicall tradesman yet learning is a singular helpe in all these professions neither will the professed Souldier euer attaine to exquisite perfection in learning or in the other professions so likwise of the rest The naturall inclination of man may bee somwhat restrained corrected and reformed but is rarely and hardly altered Naturam expellas furca licèt vsque recurret In these and all other professions whatsoeuer men may so proceede in their particular societies that each seuerall company in his proper vocation may bee a help comfort and support vnto the rest and they are firmely bound both by the law of God and Nature to exercise and follow their professions for the benefit of others not coueteously seeking their owne gaine only thereby but charitably respecting first the glory of God and then the honour of their Prince and profit of their Countrey which is the end for which they were created To the end therefore that our Countreymen of all professions in this Kingdome may bee worthily induced to performe their duties in that kinde not only at home in their owne Countrey but also abroade in foraigne parts wheresoeuer any of our Nation shall be imployed eyther by discouery or conquest for the reducing of vnknowne and barbarous people void of all knowledge of God and ciuill gouernement to Christianity and the subiection and obedience of of our Soueraigne and that such others as want imployment or competent meanes to follow their professions and are slipt aside from vertuous exercises and honourable enterprises to idle wantonnesse effeminate disorders and other extrauagant courses of life may bee recalled reformed and encouraged by better endeuours to performe their duties to God their Prince and their Countrey I thought it conuenient to propound vnto them a worthy and memorable enterprise for the prosecution and accomplishing whereof it hath gratiously pleased his Maiesty to grant mee priuiledge by Pattent namely the discouery and plantation of a part of the great rich mighty Empire of Guiana wherein they shall finde variety of imployments to spend their times worthily in their seuerall vocations plentifull meanes to supply all wants and necessities and many worthy aduentures to obtaine immortall renowne and perpetuall fame And for as much as all mens actions are subiect to miscensure and some perhaps may thinke the labour lost which is bestowed in this enterprise foreiudgeing the Countrey being rude barbarous and heathen to bee vnprofitable I will therefore here particularly shew wherein our Countreymen of the seuerall professions before mentioned may profitably labour in this worke and performe thereby to God a seruice most
