A DISCOVRSE CONTAINING A LOVING INVITATION both Honourable and profitable to all such as shall be Aduenturers either in person or purse for the aduancement of his Maiesties most hopefull Plantation in the NEVV-FOVND-LAND lately vndertaken WRITTEN BY CAPTAINE RICHARD WHITBOVRNE of Exmouth in the County of Deuon Imprinted at London by Felix Kyngston dwelling in Pater-noster-Row 1622. TO THE RIGHT HONOVRABLE HENRY LORD CARY Viscount of Faulkland Controller of his Maiesties household and one of his Maiesties most Honourable priuie Councell RIGHT HONOVRABLE THe Plantation of New-found-land to which my former Discourse not vnknown to your Lordship as a Harbinger hath in part already chalked out the way and so farre preuailed with the cleerenesse and solidity of your iudgement that lying on the naturall truth of my reasons I am confident there need no second motiues to confirme your Honours approbation of my first seeing the same hath been approued by the Lords of his Maiesties most Honourable priuie Councell as a Worke both profitable and necessary for his Maiesties Kingdomes in generall But because the affections and resolutions of men doe sometimes freeze in stead of heating and most decline when to the eye of the world they seeme most to aduance I haue therefore aduentured to fortifie and assist my former printed discourse with this second and by vnfolding other reasons vnto all such as are willing to be Aduenturers in your pretended purpose whereby to make it apparent that the said Plantation beares its perswasion with it yea that it hath all the grounds and runnes on all the feet of good probabilities as Religion Honour Empire and Profit For it wil propagate Christians where there are as yet but few It wil adorne the Crown of our Soueraigne with a spacious Continent yea it will empty England of many people which may so well be spared and yeerely replenish it with abundance of treasure which it so much wanteth And although my insuing Discourse be plain yet I affirmatiuely auerre it is true for as I haue delighted in the latitude of matter and not in the altitude of words so I haue written it out of my certaine experience and knowledge and not out of any borrowed speculation as hauing many yeeres with much labour industry and cost played the practicke part in that Countrey as well as the theoricke and therfore know well how to reduce my former contemplation into future action as it may partly appeare by representing your Lordships seuerall Circuits of land in that Countrey to the open view in her natiue and naturall colours and by proposing and discouering the meanes how and where the Plantation may bee made firme flourishing and profitable to all such as will aduenture therein Now as you haue vndertaken it with much zeale and iudgement so I no wayes doubt but you will be the meanes to establish and settle it with renowne and profit And euen as little Pinnaces doe often looke when the greater Ships will weigh Anchor whereby they may passe with the more safety vnder their conduct vnto their wished Port So the eyes of many subiects doe reioyce that your Honour giues spirit and life to this Plantation whereby they may bee imployed therein For mine owne part I haue receiued many testimonies of fauour from your hands during my long attendance at Court herein although as yet the Subiects are not possest with my bookes whereby they may bee informed of the validity of the reasons they containe for the establishing of this Plantation And thus I humbly present these my endeuours as a thankfull expression and acknowledgement in part of such great fauours as I haue already receiued from your hands vntill the prouidence of God and the pleasure of his Maiesty command mee to make tryall of what my two discoueries and narrations haue proposed and promised Thus with hearty desire vnto the Almighty for your long life with increase of great honour and happinesse I will euer remaine Your Lordships in all duty and humblenesse to be commanded RICHARD WHITBOVRNE TO THE READER GOod Reader I haue in my former printed Discourse laid open a discouery of the New-found-land and purpose in this my second labours to acquaint all Vndertakers of that Plantation what particular profit may redownd to themselues and posterities and what honours through their industry will accrew to the English Nation Beare therefore I beseech thee with my rough stile and plain meaning in which I striue rather to shew truth in her owne brightnesse then to heape applause or glory to my selfe To crowne that Countrey of New-found-land with due praises that she may by the approbation and fauour of his Maiesty be iustly called a Sister-land to this great Iland of Britannia Ireland Virginia New-England and Noua-Scotia And that she may claime her selfe this bold and honourable Title the world I thinke will bee on her side especially because she from her owne mouth doth shew what infinite and vnspeakable benefits for many yeeres together the negotiation of our Kingdome with her hath brought to all our people not onely by the increrse of Mariners and shipping but by inriching of many a subiect and so consequently by the relieuing of many thousands of families which else had liued in miserable wants for lacke of honest imployments Our English Nation hauing more then fourescore yeeres together made thriuing and profitable Voyages to that Countrey the possession whereof began in our late Soueraigne of happy memory Queene Elizabeth and so continues more strongly now in his Maiesty without the claime interest or authority of any other Prince Touching the Iland it selfe It lyeth a great part thereof more to the South then 47. degrees of North-latitude which is fiue degrees neerer the Equinoctiall line then the City of London the distance of it on this side from the Continent of America bearing the same proportion that England doth to the neerest part of France and lyeth neere the course and halfe the way betweene Ireland and Virginia This proper and commodious situation of the place together with the correspondency of benefits which not only England but Scotland and Ireland may and doe receiue from the same filles me more with an ardent desire so to haue her stiled a Sister-land And worthily may that Royalty be bestowed vpon her For as great Brittaine hath euer been a cherishing nurse and mother to other forraigne sonnes and daughters feeding them with the milke of her plenty and fatting them at her brests when they haue been euen starued at their owne Euen so hath this worthy Countrey of New-found-land from time to time giuen free and liberall entertainment to all that desired her blessings and chiefly aboue all other Nations to the English What receiue wee from the hands of our owne Countrey which in most bountious manner we haue not had or may haue at hers Nay what can the world yeeld to the sustentation of man which is not in her to be gotten Desire you wholesome ayre the very food of
