that name long before America was discover'd Add to this that though it were granted that the Spaniards would have impos'd that name on all those Nations how can it be prov'd that they were as willing to accept of it from People unknown and Enemies to them Now it is certain that not only all those people do call themselves Caribbians but also that they withal think it a glory and derive an advantage from that name as Monsieur du Montel hath heard it from their own mouths How then is it to be imagin'd that they should triumph in a name which they had receiv'd from their Enemies Nay if it be urg'd further as we shall see anon that the Ancestors of our Savage Inhabitants of the Islands receiv'd from the Apalachites the name of Caribbians instead of that of Cofachites under which they went before it may be replyed That they took it from such as were their friends and confederates and that as an Elogy of honour In fine we also affirm that it is not only in their drunkenness and debauches that our Indian Inhabitants of the Islands call themselves Caribbians but they do it also when they are sober and in cold blood And as to their calling themselves Calinago it is possible they may have many different names whence it does not ever the more follow that they had received any of them from the Europaeans For the denomination of Oubao-bonon the signification of the word sufficiently shews that it is not particular to them and that it may be generally applyed to any Inhabitants of Islands And whereas they make use of the name of Caribbians rather than of any other when they speak to strangers it is because they are apprehensive enough that that name is best known to them but it is not to be concluded thence that they received it from the Spaniards nay it might be more probably affirmed that the Spaniards themselves having learnt it of them should afterwards have communicated it to other Europaeans But as to our design it matters not much whether opinion be embrac'd and every one may follow which sentiment liketh him best only we have taken the liberty to propose what we conceived most probable As to the originals of the insulary Caribbians those who have hitherto given any account of them have had so little light to guide themselves by in that obscure piece of Antiquity that they may be said to have grop'd all their way some imagine that they are descended from the Jews grounding their conjecture among other things on this that the Caribbians are obliged to marry those Kinswomen of theirs that are next of kin to them and that some among them eat no swines flesh nor Tortoises But this is to fetch a thing too far off and to ground an imagination on too weak conjectures There are others who would have them to come over from the Haven of Caribana and pretend that they were transported thence But this opinion is grounded only on the clinching of the words Caribana and Caribbians without any other confirmation There are yet others who affirm and that upon a simple conjecture that these Savages are the originary Inhabitants of the greater Islands and that it is not long since they came into those now called the Caribbies where they took refuge as the remainders of the horrid Massacres committed by the Spaniards when they possess'd themselves of St. Domingo Cuba Jamaica and Porto-Rico But this is confuted by the certainty of History which assures us that at the first beginning of the discovery of America the Caribbies were possessed and inhabited by the Caribbians that at first they were surprized and ill-entreated by the Spaniards but that afterwards these last being beaten off with disadvantage and meeting with many inconveniences in the prosecution of that war made a kind of agreement with some among them as we shall see more particularly hereafter in the Chapter of their Wars Add to this that the Indians of Corassao who without all dispute are some of those persons who escaped the Massacres and who have among them some yet living who lived in the Port called at the present the Port of the Kow-Island or as the French call Le port de l' Isle à vache in the Island of Hispaniola when the first Spaniards landed there have not a word of the Caribbian Language in theirs nor any thing of Carriage whence it may be deduc'd that there never was any communication or correspondence between them and the Caribbians Besides those of the greater Islands who might have fled to avoid the tyranny of the Spaniards would have had greater encouragement to retreat into the Territories which were below them and whereto the regular winds lay more fit to carry them than to direct their course against the wind and so retarding their flight expose themselves to a thousand hazards by Sea and engage themselves in a voyage twenty times as long For it is almost a miracle that such Vessels as theirs are can advance a league in a day against the wind nay it many times happens that very great vessels are in their ascent forc'd back more in three hours than they had advanc'd in six daies For we have it from very skilful Pilots that they have been three months getting up from the Cul-de-Sac of St. Domingo to St. Christophers whereas to fall down from St. Christophers to St. Domingo there needs commonly not above four or five days at most As concerning the opinion the Caribbians themselves have of their origine we find that being as ignorant of all Monuments of Antiquity as free from all curiosity of enquiring after things to come they believe for the most part that they are descended from the Calibites or Calibis their Allyes and great friends the Inhabitants of the Meridional part of America the neighbouring people of the Arouagues or Alouagues in that Country or Province which is commonly called Guyana or the Savage-Coast And those who adhere to this opinion ground their perswasion on the conformity of Language Religion and Manners observable between the Caribbian Inhabitants of the Islands and the Calibites though it may as well be presum'd that the said resemblance might partly proceed from the allyance and particular friendship there was between them partly from the Neighbourhood of the Caribbians of the Meridional Continent and those Calibites and partly from some other causes whereof we shall give an account hereafter But these poor Savages of the Islands agree not among themselves in the particular relation they make of their Extraction and the occasion that brought them into those Islands nor can they give any account of the time of their coming thither We shall here set down what those of S. Vincent and some others have related to Monsieur du Montel concerning themselves which we have taken out of his curious Collections All the Caribbians were heretofore subject to the Arouagues and obey'd their Prince but some among them
