Betwixt them they sent into the world a pernicious deceiver which none but two such Religions could have made up in the yeare five hundred ninetie seven When he had beene for a while thus instructed by his distracted parents poverty and hope to improve his fortunes perswaded him from his native soyle to live for another while among true professed Christians where he received so much knowledge of the Word and light of the Gospel as to pervert it to his destruction and ruine of many millions of soules 11 In his first adventurous travailes abroad he fell into the hands of theevish Saracens which sold him to a Iewish Merchant and he imployed him to drive his Cammels through Aegypt Syria Palestine and other forreine Countries where he still gathered farther instructions of that truth which he intended to abuse His wickednesse first brake forth into fraud open theft and rapine and other sinnes of highest ranke in which he continued and seduced others till the death of his Master and after married his aged but rich Mistresse 12 He had meanes now to act his malicious purposes and wealth to countenance his exceeding pride which would not be satisfied with a lower ambition then to be called a Prophet of God This he began to practise by the counsell of one Sergius a Monk who being cast out for heresie from Constantinople betooke himselfe into Arabia and joyned in with Mahomet to make up this mischiefe perfect see now their juggling There wanted not craft betwixt them to make use of his worst actions to gull the simple For when by his debaucht drinking and gluttonie he was fallen into an Epilepsie and in his sits lay Beare-like groveling and foaming upon the earth as one without sense he pretended an extatike swone wherein his soule was wrapped from his body while he converst with Gabriel an Angel from heaven To make this familiaritie with God the more to be beleeved he had bred up a Dove to take her meat from his eare which he most blasphemously professed to be the holy Ghost who at such times and in that shape infused the Prophecies which he was to preach Lastly what they in their wicked fancies had conceived and meant to propagate they digested into a volume and called it the Alcoran 13 For this too they had a trick that it might seeme to have beene sent from heaven into the hands of Mahomet and to this purpose he had himselfe fed up a tame Bull which by custome became so familiar that no sooner he heard the voyce of his Master but he would straight runne cast the head in his lap and use his wanton dalliance as with a fellow Betwixt the hornes of this Bull had he fastened the Alcoran and conveyed him into a by-place neer where he had assembled the multitude at a set time to expect a wonderfull miracle from heaven that might confirme his Prophecie The scene thus ordered on the sudden he lift up his voyce and made a loud cry which no sooner the Beast heard but he brake his way through the prease overturned

that I may dwell may seeme after a sort to be verified accomplished in us at this day so that although many thousands were aspared the land would remain abundantly replenished which being so if such as lack meanes here as many doe to support the charges incident to themselves and their families in such sort as were requisite to goe over thither they are forth-with endowed with lands and employments whence through their industrie they may raise their estates And it is certaine there are very few there but they maintaine themselves farre better and with lesse care and pains then they did or could doe here Againe if they be such as have meanes to purchase land there and transport servants at their own charge they have in their lands large penny-worths and for their servants many profitable employments Secondly the benefit that should redound to the native Inhabitants of Virginia is very great whilst by this meanes they might in time be reclaimed from their rude conditions and savage kind of life to more humanity and knowledge being instructed in Arts and Occupations and furnished with sundry instruments so necessary in humane Societies that without them we could not well subsist and finally be reduced to a more civill and orderly forme of government But chiefly and in the first place those silly creatures sitting now in darknesse and in the shadow of death might be delivered from darknes to light from the power and tyranny of Satan unto God by faith in Christ. Lastly as it would adde much to the fame and glory of this Kingdome so would it to the strength and prosperitie thereof whilst we might be served from thence with sundry commodities which we now obtaine from other places with the exporting and diverting hence an infinite treasure and that many times to the enriching of the enemies of our State and Religion as Currants and other fruit Oyles Gummes Cotten-wooll Sugar Rich Furres Caviary and Cordage Masts Plancks Boards Pitch Tarre Pot-ashes and Sope-ashes Hempe Flax Iron Salt Silkes Woad Madder Indico and other Drugs for Dyes and Physick c. For it is not to be doubted but these and the like things doe cost this Kingdome yearely many Millions of wealth Some men will say though these things or any them were brought us from these Plantations yet would there be little saved to this Common-wealth because they would and in equitie might expect to receive their price for them but the difference is very great First because we might have them from thence at lower Rates the voyage being shorter and lesse dangerous then in any of the others Secondly the customes and other duties which we now pay in Forraine Countries would there be saved for though they were as great as they are in those countries yet would they wholly redound to the benefit of his Majestie and consequently to the good of this Kingdome Thirdly forasmuch as those which are Adventurers thither live and have their estates here in Englaud condition with such as they send over at their charge upon their lands to receive from them the ratable moyetie of all such profits as shall be raised on their lands It is evident that a great part of those commodities would be brought in without any charge to this Kingdome whilst there should be neither money nor wares exported for them And so they would become as it were the naturall commodities of our owne Countrey Moreover the Planters there are our Countrey-men members of the same Common-wealth with us who may no doubt in short time deserve of the Indians so well in the things before mentioned and succouring them in their wants c. as may move them freely without compulsion or injury to resigne themselves to his Majesties protection and government And many other benefits are like to arise of this worthy action which might stirre up forwardnesse in the prosecution of it But let this suffice to be spoken in this place BRITANNIA THE THEATRE OF THE EMPIRE OF GREAT BRITAINE Presenting AN EXACT GEOGRAPHY of the Kingdomes of ENGLAND SCOTLAND IRELAND and the ILES adioyning With The Shires Hundreds Cities and Shire townes within the Kingdome of ENGLAND divided and described By IOHN SPEED IMPRINTED AT LONDON Anno Cum Privilegio 1627 Are to be sold by George Humble at the Whit horse in Popes-head Alley A BRITAINE A ROMANE A SAXON A DANE A NORMAN THE BRITISH EMPIRE CONTAINETH AND HATH NOVV IN ACTVALL possession those many and renovvned KINGDOMES and PRINCIPALITIES DESCRIBED IN THIS OVR THEATRE THE KINGDOME OF ENGLAND anciently containing seven famous Kingdomes 1 The Kingdome of Kent 2 The Kingdome of South-Saxons 3 The Kingdome of West-Saxons 4 The Kingdome of East-Saxons 5 The Kingdom of Northumbrians 6 The Kingdome of East-Angles 7 The Kingdome of Mercia THE KINGDOME OF SCOTLAND anciently containing these three Kingdomes 1 The Kingdome of Scots 2 The Kingdome of Picts 3 The Kingdome of the Iles.
