To all the sons of Noble travail whether Merchant, Marshal, or Marine Negotiators.  
TO you the lively Characters of my muse's Epitome (as more due) I present her: not for shelter, but survey, her sonnets are in short the trophies of your travails: Antidotes against oblivion, and the Aconite of skilless censure. Therein may ye revise the wonders once viewed, the worths preconceived, with the ways of travail traced already: so doing scan how short you are of what may be; as well as revive time of that hath been. Action is proper to you speculation to scholars: what they Enigmatically peruse, you personally visit, now although she can neither much augment your notions, nor yet fortify your judgements by these her primortives, so sub alternate to your sufficiencies: yet happily in the garden of her diversity▪ some flowers may selected no less delectable than profitable, if not serve they as s●uchions pendant in memory of more judicious observations: or ever dure they as pledges of an unlimited love to all the Noble sons of travail, Such primly Whose wishes drilled her out from pen to press I am not ignorant how our critic can cavil, therefore have I fortified her with divine, and Moral Ancient and modern marginals, as little how our satirist in his Lacivyous textures confront the like Carpere vel noli nostra, well edetua, nor how the Tertullian will puff at her plainness, A 〈…〉 faut point d'enseigne, alas deformities in nature, are only adulterate defects obscured deceptio visus fits homespune punies, not blades who pump for their wits mid salt surges and have ●ur●●yed more countries thou the carrier countrytownes, my 〈◊〉 (my present wife) is as plain as young nor less true than uncommon please she you with her songs I am satisfied our speech by pa● death proves silence what survives in absence is writing either after us, or far of, Quo lic● at libris non licet ire mihi. she may speak when I cannot, where I may not.

The Prologue to the General  
THat our unwise domestic many discern  
With the Agrestick Travails worths to learn  
And that Both may behold as in a glass  
Pleasures of such who foreign parts do pass  
Vnuailing so the vices of a crew  
Who guess all things by them unseen untrue  
I have in short set down my thoughts therein  
Some credit to that choice estate to win,  
First from my own li●es who a small have seen  
Yet better may the worths of travail deem  
Then from the house bird, and the Dormouse dull  
So from our critic, and th' unlettered g●ll  
Now if as 't may be) th' sons of Didimus  
In Stoic humour Deign not to believe us  
Lo th' Sacred writ will urge a credit to it  
No Antidote but seeing else will do it  
Divine, and Moral, Modern, and the old  
All in her worths unasked with us hold  
The Patriarcks, Princes, Ptophets' stories Churches  
And worlds of more of all sorts sort with these  
The jews, Greeks, Turks, Moors, Indians: and we  
All age's times, and states, there to agree  
To Christian some, to Mortal travail all  
Trovaile to every mortal must befall.  
Ci●ill alone is now our muse's task  
Which ●he (by Zoilas' leave) shall now unmask  
Its wonder, worth, and way and plant from hence.  
Canons dismount all homebred impudence  
●…pell their false avouch, whose trembling pen  
Like Canaan spies disconsolateth men  
Read all or none at all, do but as due  
Thou't say though young and short, ●hee's plain and true.  
Quem recitas meus est fidentine libellus  
At male dum recitas, incipit esse tuus,  Martialis.  


The wonders in travail.  
What time jehove had all things ready made. 
Geneseos. 1. Adam primus homo damnavit seenla prima, 3   
The Sea, Land, rivers, winds the Sun and shade  
The day and night, both foul and Firmament  
Heaven and earth formed all to man's content,  
Him made he then the microcosm of all,  
Seated in costly Eden, whilst his fall, 
Qui facit magna & inscrutabillia absque numero Eliph.   
Makes him accursed of a Lord completes  
Insweat of brows adindged his bread to eat  
And pilgrimewise henceforth on earth to wander,  
Pacing about it as a crooked meander,  
Thenearth for sin sustains a whole delusion 
Oshominisubline dedit omne metam 1. caput.   
And Nimrods' plot produces tongue's confusion  
Sin, still and sorrow relatives in us  
We are to spend our days in travail thus.  
Divinest for sight armed the world with store 
nihil in terra Sine cansa sit job. 5   
Of adhuments to travail long before  
To this end we are the winds volutions framed  
Which east, west, north, and south, by man are named.  
To this end were both seas and floods prepared  
As is in the Creation's rule declared.  
And so become the tongues confusion good 
Deus 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 totus quodenim togitat hoc Loguitur & qvod loqnitur togitat Iren Lib. 2. c, 48.   
One aids the other to be understood.  
Yea hereunto was shipping preinuented,  
Lest intercourse 'twixt nations be prevented  
Since man to sweat and travails destined here  
So to consume in life day, month, and year.  
'tis nothing else to travail but to breath  
Travails ordained posterities bequeath.  
'tis nothing more to travail then to live 
Qunti instit Liber, ●:   
Earth cannot least reposed contentment give  
Nor may the wise, or great, or fair, go free  
But equally the trace of travail see.  
Travail tripartite prime to all the rest  
Is mortal travail, all thus interest.  
The Christian and Civil stand dependants  
Both being on our mortal course attendants  
Civil we treat of 'tis we understand  
Man's state of intercourse by sea and Land  
As they are destined here to undergo,  
Great jove in his degree commands it so.  
To tell such wonders they at sea have seen,  
His greater fames forgotten to redeem.  
Of things unknown a Credit to procure,  
And men to see his greatness to allure  
Of natures rares indifferent of Climes.  
To tell the worths, strange qualities and times. 
Vti beneficia omnibus horis— sunt consideransa Chrisostom:   
Acquaint the earth with miracles unknown,  
which oney are by civil travails shown.  
And friendly change of each lands fruits thus made,  
Yea many thousands each way fed by trade.  
Thus travails wonders first their maker praise,  
Then add they store and solace to our days  
The form of civil travails thus prepared  
Now shall its wonders briefly be declared  
Not able to conceive the cause of much 
In mare:   
Her miracles in her surveys are such 
Microcosm   
Each man's a wonder of himself alone  
Much wonder may a man survey at home  
Much more in many millions disagreeing  
Inform wits manors, nations habits being  
Th' invisive deiety hearin disclosed 
Romans. 1.   
Omnipotence in natures frame proposed  
To leave saith scripture man without excuse  
When faithlesly men cause his powers abuse 
Psalm. 8. Qui desendunt mare in navibus facientes operationem in aquis multis ipsi viderunt opera domini & mirab●llia sua in profundis:   
Wise David first at heaven, than earth admires  
From whence with wondering down to sea retires  
Such as descend to deep (quoth he) such see  
The powers of jehova what they be  
His fame is raised by every day's success  
The rudest region will explain no less  
When men saith he are tossed in the main  
So that their souls consume in sense of pain  
Sometime are tossed to the cloudy skies,  
Hence in a hast hell low, her shipping flies  
Billows carreyring toss too and fro  
And wash her as a wherry high and low  
Now pray they and their sorrow seeks an end  
Past hope or help or harbour to defend  
The stormy winds are styled, the men have hope  
When in a calm the ship finds larger scope  
The men rejoice, bless God, and well arrive  
And in the mid of many perils thrive  
'twas sure a wonder jovas' under went  
When he in travail crossed jove's intent  
The monstrous Whale should harbour be to him  
Who in his soul had harboured so much sin  
Three days alive transported in his Chest  
Yet all this time with life and safety blessed  
Then laid ashore, out of his mighty power  
Whose quality is solely to devour  
Egypt's red sea to admiration parts  
And from an ocean to dry land convert  
Billows, are walls, they pass on dry foot ground 
Patientia dei 12● annes dura vit cumarca si●bat.   
When Lo! their foes the Egyptians are drowned  
No less admired was the Ark of No  
Prepared to travail in earth's overthrow  
The monstrous Generation, mocked his skill  
How ere 'twas formed by God Almighty's will  
All earth's indeluge he and his are found  
Careyring safe in ship, all others drowned, 
Solares est quae ●omines obsentes presentes facit Turp: de fit viciss 
Quibus pusumnusetiam abcetibus alloqui August,    
And by this rare inventions harbinger  
The world doth always with itself confer  
Shipping are embasies, he get relation  
Through far remote 'twixt nation, and nation  
Posts packing each way with intelligences  
Garners to store mortals assure defences  
The wandrous ark anchours Ararats mount  
Her dock, and now the nations recount  
Having a pattern how her like to build  
Then from a future deluge still to sheyld  
And I, make the waters passable they try  
Phenicanus bow the first in history 
Nave primus as egypto damnus, advenit pliny   
Egypt proceeds the Greek and many omre  
Solomon trads to Opior for his ore.  
Thus did divine prescience ships invent  
Man's Chiefest friend, the temples ornament 
Reg: 1,   
Our Lord and his desciples once at sea  
Great gulfts arise and tempest oversway  
The ship sucks billows as her only diett 
vide: Mark. 4. 38.   
Makes the desciples fearful and unquiet  
He wakes, they cry help master or we perish.  
Oft times thus fear by unbelief is cherished  
Christ gives the word and bids them all be still  
And gladly they as soon obey his will  
So that the faithless jews are forced to say  
Oh what is he whom winds and seas obey.  
Examples move oft more than reasons good  
where sense and sight are wholly understood 
monumenta aetotum Lest: L:   
Lo! Last in paul his voyage is a wonder.  
When sea and winds tear all their ships in sunder  
Each boards convey, and safe the people land 
Act. 27 20:   
Ruled in the Love of Paul by highest hand  
See now at sea the wonders travail knows  
Where God himself in omnipotence shows  
Proclaims a power exceeding other places 
Vbitung fuerit dei providentia   
And sea above the land with wonder grace 
●rustrautar universa contraria● August:   
Next acts his matchless mercy greater part  
And seeming death to long life doth convert  
Daily experience fortisies our faith  
Should we surmise unsure what scripture saith?  
Our eighty eight Gibraltar and the rest  
Would with amazement scale our flinty breast  
As thus on sea jove in high wonder passes  
So him in sea his creatures wonder graces 
Creatura miranda.   
Witness the worlds of fish of various birth  
When waters broad doth sympathize the earth  
Liviathan johes wonder as a rock  
But at a ship maiestickly doth knock  
His huge and massy beard whole billows brusshes 
job 41 6. Corpus eius quscuta susillia compactum se squamis se prementibus   
He through the ocean as a whirl wind rushes  
Or as an earthquake makes the seas to shake  
Devouring shoules, and supping dry the lake  
His sins plough way in midst of proudest waves  
Thus Neptune like he all the sea out braves  
Puffs out a challenge, what can quele my might  
Or who like me can on an ocean light  
Forgetting how the sea man in mere play  
Wins him in sport, to throw his bulcke away  
And drunkard like allies the Barrel over  
Till he appeareth naked one the shore  
Now galled with darts that clouds of blood ensue  
And die the nearer streams another hue  
The slimy sea horse; and the Cow contend  
Better than the terre● themselves to send  
Yet on the ice will wallouw in a rout  
And both brought Captive by the seaman plente  
Men monsters and the Sirens rares to see  
Yet on the waves such wonders daily be  
Scene in the north and Southern hottest climes  
Chiefly the former in our latter times  
The bolting sea hogg spouts against the storm  
And will attend though wild sweet music's charm  
Whose consorrs Saluson, Codd, and Sturgeon be  
Such in our native soil hath primacy 
〈…〉.   
'tis said of sages not so old as true  
That allthings silent show God's powers due  
And that some works of his mirit admire  
Rather than reason how and why inquire  
His providence in heavens high influences  
To the other regions else are sole defences  
Sun, Moon, and stars, air, Earth, and sea direct  
Order, dispose, rule, alter, get, protect  
Their dispositions have effects in all  
In sea, in sky, or earth, men creatures call  
Their constant motion divine influx causes  
The sea store hath at large a share in these  
A second earth's store, as the shapes of us  
So Brutes, horse, dogs; and all sorts wondrous  
Yea vegetive and mineral appear  
The sword, fist, pike, cuts, tortise far and near  
All sorts by shoals in order know their like  
Their forms so strange, men in amazement strike  
For note as every Clime doth various stand  
The object Zones ruling the neither land  
So every sea as is the Climes degree  
Differs in Creatures shape and rarity  
All which howe'er to home bred men unknown  
Yet are in mid of travail wondrous shown  
The rule of Reason is my argument  
It brings in men (things near so strange) Consent  
For a relation in one body round  
'twixt sea and land was in Creation found  
In Creatures kind though different in form  
Yet cannot natures likeness be out worn  
This of the wonders on, and in the ocean  
The fruits there off are only travails notion 
Cumfreta discuditrapidisque   
See now the sea itself miraculous  
His height exceeds earths, and is fluctuos

Yet giveth God saith David to him bound  
Nor can earth by its overheight be drowned  
A miracle exceeding common since  
And wherein reasons proof is impotence  
As is the cause of tides slux and retreat  
Howe'er by luner motions made complete  
This watery orb is various every where  
Now red, then black, then yellow, greenish clear  
Now hot and seethes, there ice mounts her cover

Lo! from these fruits our voyages accrue  
Amazing earth in great discoveties made  
Enriching Europe with a potent trade  
Thus every way at sea are wonders shown  
I will not name discoveries well unknown  
Those new found Gulfs: exacter revolutions

Geography treats most of arts hearin  
But travail only sweet of sense doth win  
Earth's sipherall orb both isle and continent  
According to their sits are different  
Complexions to the Climes do bear relation  
So is in men a diverse propagation  
How full of miracles is nature now  
Which every way such difference can allow?

What need fond men, the vulgar be deluded  
Or yet the Lord of nature be abused?

And truth alone sound satisfaction brings

Dishonoured much by each false tales composing.  
Yet wants no fame; the little ants a wonder  
Much more those many thousands all out number.

See but some rares in fabrics admiration  
Duly attends on some in every nation.  
That Chinan wall twelve hundred miles in length  
Their mighty cities and, unuoted strength,  
Those Pyramids of Egypt twelve miles round  
And fifty cubitts mounted from the ground  
The tower and walls of mighty Babylon  
The Capital and ruined worths of Room

The spanish bridge admired three leagues long,  
As these the creatures vegetive excel

That Indian figtrees an admired thing  
Whose touch to earth causeth a world of spring  
Breeding a long atracke of mighty store

But the Camel Leopard hatches an admire  
In all that to the Southern poles retire.  
A Composite, two natures mixed we see  
Bearing to both an equal Sympathy  
The cruel Dragons ' fell devouring jaw  
The serpent makes his venamous sting his law  
Both lurking close in rocks of desert springs  
And an affrighting of the neighbour things,

Yet oft the musket meet his high attempt  
And with his ruin doth a hurt prevent  
Strange Armadillo armed round about  
Scales hath as Iron with, a swinish snout  
Teeth cruel bend, yet help his bones to Cure  
Whose rareness travails view doth oft allure,  
But should I pen the tenth of all the store  
The things some see; good writers record more  
Nor paper, pen, nor skill could sure suffice  
Let us hearin with modesty be wise  
Instancing truths, truth bears the only sway  
When worlds of extant fictions decay.  
Our days are short suppose no one hath had  
A view of half in progress of his trade  
Each what it is add truly to the store  
Of wondrous brutes now say my muse no more,  
Omit the Lion, Bear, wolf, unicorn  
The Elck, and Ostrich, and the Hart, forlorn  
In wildernesses with the Leopard pacing  
And with the Tiger travails wonders gracing  
Pass by the Eagle, falcon, para, kite  
And fly the tortoise, and the Rockfish sight.  
And add to these as different conditions

The East, and north, in drunkenness us bad.  
As nature's illness diversely doth vent  
Having in climes peculiar extent,  
See how the habits men, and women wear,  
Vary to admiration every where.  
The Ruff his furred long Coat slopped, Collars bears  
The Dane his pointed buffs, wives wreathed hairs  
The Germane jumphre huicke, Crague hull, and Copp  
The swedish mustzell, and long flemish slopp  
The french all puffs, naked Itallian veils  
The Spanish bag fleves, Long savoyan tails  
The Irish rug, welsh freeze; and highland trousers

This handful for the heap in travails sight.  
One passing still another in some rare  
Wherein alone he triumphs past compare,  
But that the wisest God may seem more high  
he'll mix his honours with diversity,  
And time the Epoch pass their fittest birth  
And when and where dispersed to be one earth  
One land this graces, and another that  
Yet the supremist worths not to relate  
If one way Spain passes for grapes our isle

In food, and cloth we more than countervail  
If India pass for oars and pearls the Duchess  
Their navies pass the Indian as much,  
If china, sends with Turkey silken store  
Our sheep clad, and our benes feed thousands more  
If Norway whale, Ruff fur, and swedish brass  
By steetes in traffic to the western pass  
They turn gold, wine, and fruits of contentation  
So might I instance much in every nation  
One succours other, traffic breeds affection  
The whole is governed by the high protection.  
For winds, seas sky, and travel all agree  
To frame one earth a just conformity  
That nature hots, and couldst may be suffered  
And every parts commodities be prized  
And all men muse to view Earth's aged form

Triumphs in travail more; as less out worn  
Thousands unseen assisting one another  
And the Barbarian rude the Christians brother  
This harmony in nature, and each nation  
Hatched by travails hourly propagation  
Nor war, nor jar, can totally mollest  
But some way find they mutual interest,  
Ordained to fit in all parts man entire  
Begetting travails wonder, our admire,  
Whereof hours much more might instancd be  
Yet I conceive enough in what we see  
The wise may by the model judge the mass  
So speed my muse to travails worths a pace  
In sea, sky, earth, fish flesh; reason and sense  
Lo! wonders of divine omnipotence  
Some scattered each way; travail must descry  
And industry, and wisdom move to try  
Occasional wonders these attend on time  
And we for them since none can pre divine  
In Christian travails, an almighty hand  
Protects his Church, and Children in each land  
In mortal travails steered by force of fate  
Men may presume but no way can rebate  
What strange effects they are allotted too  
What wonders they are destined here to do  
Life 'tis a travile through earth's sea of woes  
And miracles doth Christian state disclose  
Neither the matter of my muse's song  
They to divines and moralists belong  
And my discourse of civil travails worth  
After her wonders let her utter forth  
Prostrating so his self to travails friend  
So much in short of wonder makes an end.  
Aut face, Aut tace.   

The worths of travels.

Ignorantiae duae Filiae falsitas & Dubietas, illa misereor, ista miserabillior illa pervitiotior ista molestior Austin    
As subjects ever Lead their adjuncts way,  
Though travels worths are in wonders shown  
Yet by her rare effects she's better known,  
justice say sages is to give each right  
Oppon its worth apparent to the sight,  
Worth must be known, ere't can be justly prized  
In ignorance it can but be surmisd.  
The fruits then seen plucked off the fertile tre●,  
Can best express its worthiness to thee,  
Commit it to the taste of any man  
thence no more need its excellency to scann,  
Pleasures, and profitts Commonly are cross  
And the, gain of one is still the others loss,  
But if they in one subject met agree  
That never failed to prove a rarity,  
Behold here's both, and largely too extended,  
Whereby earth's seed from ruin is defended.  
Profits abayte t'allure the thrifty mind  
Though he small pleasure in the object find,  
How travail suits in both is admiration  
Man's wit, and wealth of these a first relation  
The wise terms wit, a silver gliding stream  
The wits of nobler natures 'tis I mean  
For there's the cause the earthly minded lake  
Nor will nor can of travails worth partake,  
Such wits I say still flowing from the fountain  
And inbred vigour of the holy mountain  
Natures remains more clear by graces shine,  
Both by assistance influence divine,  
Still throuh the nations current are more pure  
By sunnc●re●●ne, made active to endute,  
Man's wit and fence by travails daily tried  
Remain by issue still unputrified,  
O harmony in divers wits accord 
Officiisvitae humana Constat mutuis omnisque ratio & insti Cutiovitae qumanae adiumenta desiderat cicero off. Lib: 2.   
Never Could Clime all sorts Comactt afford,  
Lands must be loving borrow much of each  
The nearer wits perfections to reach,  
The God of nature calls for mutual trade  
Diversicie this enter course hath made,  
The Stoic jew loves of the Christians learn  
And we in them frugality discern  
The Could dull northern practice western wit  
And they a true plain heartedness in it.  
The rudest Indian manners of our planter  
His heathen skill became our trade's advancer,  
The orphean music with Itallian dwells  
The Spanish linn●ing every way excels,  
The deep Giunosophist, the Captive graecian  
The paracelian physics with Venetian,  
The Expert Pool, and Pertian horsed in war  
The prying Ceres his judgement of the star  
In some all pass that none may be dejected  
But none in all that all may be respected.  
As arts inventors here and there abide  
That they might be to all always descried  
When the decree against, Lewd earth was past  
And God by waters meant the Earth to waste  
He then instnicted Noah first ship to build  
Both him and his from waters force to shield  
The eye of man Could not foresee the worth  
This rare art doth posterities bring forth  
By it earth's spacious kindred Comes acquainted  
And Christian faith mid infidels is planted,  
But not Enthusiall, but by practice skill  
Men Navigations miracles fulfil  
A rarat mounts taught the Phoenicians how

Hence Egipp, next it to the Greeks extends  
Who add the Decks, ones art the rest befriendes  
The Crect, than Carthage hence the Roman next  
But providence assigens it to them next.  
And winds transport a ship of Tyre to them  
So are the Romans made sea fairing men,

Become sea masters, whence our Britain learns

Behold the fabric out of divers nations  
As this so other arts have propagations

Which bred first poets fond I Carian tale.

Lo! now the lot is every way disposed  
We see some here some there of arts disclosed

The wise may by his matter judge the mass  
And see God's goodness clear as in a glass.  
The issues they shall force thee to believe it  
Worthy to tell, and try true travails credit  
As Noah and his survive by this innention  
And Solomon at Ophirs Long desceusion.  
Whence he the temple ornaments did bring  
Gold, pearls, and jewels, worthy such a King  
So since the new world and the old shake hands  
And friends are found in many, foreign Lands  
will't man be witty, than thy days devote  
or some of those some travelled worths to note.  
For travails fruit is reaped by obsuruation

And there's a several Cropp in every nation.  
For all men's genius some way Chiefly bends

Which in thy grey hairs may a solace be.  
Come to the profits next each state enjoys

The worlds of wealth thence to our Lands accrue  
And the many fertile Coloines ensue.  
In many large discoveries is declared  
An therefore shall in my discourse be spared.  
I only aim the wealth trade brings to tell  
All as one household ruled by fate to dwell.  
Europe the chiefest right by travel tries  
Fix one those Indies your indicious eyes.  
Virginia, and Bermudaes', Britain plants  
And Spain in her west Indian highness vaunts.  
The Northern riches; whales and fures brings home

Things to our fathers, and to theirs unknown  
And we the flemish French and all crept in  
A part in Spain's rich Indian soil to win  
As lands so Cities yea and men are made  
Potent by travile, and recourse of trade  
Whence comes it princes scorn not merchants style  
By it their Cosers they with substance pile  
For as of war are silver strings the ties  
So it by trade and travail must arise.  
That proudest monarch who the whole Earth claims  
And would have Earth called Gods styled only Spain's  
May make a Saint of travail for his ore  
E'er those adventures, never prince more poor.  
'twas Tyre, and Memphis privilege so great  
That holy writts their merchandise repeat  
The Haven Low become now highlands better  
The I'll though but a blot a whole lands greater  
The merchant's warchouse as a prince's store  
Some states in rule are rich in venture more.  
Some use them as supports in a relation  
On to the other mutual propagation. 
Quantum quisque sua numorum seruatin arca tantum habet & fidei.   
Defensive potence makes trade better thrive  
As trade preserves a potency alive,  
No in stance but the Netherlands, and hantzes

Wanting such parts as trade worths a true?  
But by a broker in a foreign soil  
Become mere slave to foreigners beguile.  
See cities clad with shipping as a robe  
Whose natives send to search about the globe  
How fraught with riches, both of soul and mind  
He that perceius not this is wilful blind

From Florence silks, from Naples satins brave.  
From Candy Currant Oil and muskadine,  
From Indies East store of all spices fine

From the Can ruff fine furs and fishes store.  
From Newfoundland, the norway fir and flax

Volupias nonnisi varietate confistit.   
Our british stores we know no more survey  
The sea wind weather shippings stores and sail  
All jump the worths of travail to avail.  
So that in short it serves the sons of men  
No more of travails profits needful then  
Now forits pleasures, pleasure 'tis to tell.  
Those multitude that do in travail dwell.  
Both soul, and senses mutually filled  
A secret solace in them both distilled  
Christ's cross a modelliss of what we say  
'tis a mere travail passing all denay,  
Wherein (as Paul) the christian is assailed  
With many woes, to virtue's lot entailed  
Yet Lo! as he in all becomes victorious  
And joys in sorrow, by abasment glorious  
Tramples on sin and sorrow by an aid  
Which makes the fell infernal curs afraid  
Of this to come, as man all for content  
Poor man his curses bitter would prevent  
By various objects relishing his toil  
Whereof he finds out some in every soil  
His senses servants to his will desire  
Nothing so much as novelty require,  
Wise Solomon saw this when once he said  
My eyes with seeing is not satisfied  
Nor tongue by taste, nor ears with hearing filled 
Et deprendi vihill esse melius quam Laetari in opere sua & have esse partem illius Eclesiafies. Delectant alterna magis vetitisque potiridulcius & sordent qua possunt semper haberi: pallin.   
Nor nose by scents, nor hands by touching styled  
Yet is men's solace here below quoth he  
To prove what pleasure may procured be,  
And as a creature consolate the mind  
While he in heaven comforts period find  
To this end wear those rares of nature framed  
Where by creation god great power proclamd,  
Diversities each clime, and country spreading  
Diversities, of creatures divers breeding.  
That as the temple made by Solomon  
Was framed of foreign rares as well as stone  
From Sheba some, from Ophr others sent  
The Fabric fmisht bred a st●ueshment.  
So we the temples, reasonable soul  
The temple it earths wonders to enrol  
And view the total, or judge by a part  
Each Creatures rareness, the Creator's art.  
Our passive humours prove not half so well  
The active chiefly to delight excel  
The sight, the taste, and touch, and actions like.

Those at the ground of noble solace strike  
When hearing reading and dull absence go  
Void of delight, or certainly to know.  
On others pens or lips 'tis to rely  
Onth only organs of uncertainty  
When thou dost see and seeing understand  
The various objects in a foreign land  
The men in habit, and condition strange  
Their Cities sites and form, of stru & ures' change,  
Religion differre men of savage breed  
The rarity in cloth and what they feed,  
There speech and paradox themselves and all  
Nothing but what thou different mayst call  
Much inward Cheer the senses will surprise  
Taste, touching smelling seeing ears and eyes

Dci beneficia omnibus horis Consideranda. August.   
Such as have tasted will avouch noless.  
Thou't bless thy God for thy Religion pure  
And all will in thee thankfulness procure  
And much contentment in thy course of trade  
How ere it with a foreigner be made,  
When thou shalt taste from tree the foreign rare  
Vine juice the mirth and such spics are  
Viewing the Clove and cinamonds delight  
And worlds of such a stonishing the sight  
Suppose the pleasure, and the contentation  
Attend the florehouses of every nation.  
When thou shalt sail the Course in surges high  
Noting thy ship mount proudly to the sky 
Psalm. 10.   
Then delve the deep then toss thee up again  
And curtey sporting with thee through the main.  
By aid of card and compass strangely guided  
And by her way those Labyrinths divided.

The mariners their tricks to gore them try  
These wonders shall surpass thy admiration 
Stulta placent Slultis obsonia quisque palato querit Dignasuo non emnibus vita voluptas mare: Paline.   
Yet clear thee with a world of contentation  
We speak as men (conceive us as we say)  
The soul we know suffered another way  
In mid of these she's active by a hope  
Surmounts wide oceans in their largest scope  
And by a joy in praise of God Creator  
Extolling thanfully his wondrs power  
Lo landed now thou canst not turn thy head  
But cause is given to be astonished  
To view in East the Bear and Lion strong  
The Unicorn or Elaphant, high and long,

Nor wouldst thou for a world have any hid.  
But be spectator: 'twas thewisests wish  
Who spent much time although a prince in this  
And from the Cedar to the Shrub did go  
The rares in stature amplier to know  
Yet thousands have more pleasures understood  
Who have in larger travails been improud  
'twas that thy spirit shebaes queen thee blessed  
When thou by hearing hadst been now possessed,  
And seeing of his worthy government  
Raised her strangely to astonishment,  
To cry thy wit o King exceeds report  
Blessed was I to jury to resort  
A like the sons of foreign travails cry  
When they the wonders where they pass survey 
Nam ut quise arnant adhibent speculum, ita gesturus negotium Proponat sibi illustrum virorumexempla Plutarch.   
'twas of a truth O King of Kings we said  
Thy wonders, each way sure wear undenayed,  
But now behold above conceit we find  
Fair more than could while now possess our mind  
O! all thy works great god thee each way praise  
Both sea and thy fame to heaven raise.  
Our factor who in youth full days is seen  
The Merchant's goods by enter course to vent  
When seated in the clime, and manor both  
Now to return to native soil is loath,  
The change of countries and of pleasures move  
This man then there as native to approve

Thence if return parts language and behaviour

Their wines, rare presents, pleasures all are his  
And he though great holds his most worth in this.  
Returned prince, people and religion love him.  
And the foreign prince (if worthy) all approve him,  
Thus soul and senses, both have pleasures crop  
And's brought by travail to his wishes top  
The valiant soldier, Captain, Colonel,  
Will not be confined to his mother's Cell:  
But try the fortunes foreign quarrels yield  
And learn what projects there besit a field.  
Trial the Guards french spanish, and Itallien,  
The foot from flanders, horse from Poole and Persian,  
Triumph in sports of leaguers fortified  
And have siege, afterseige his valloures tried  
The persons here in famous isle nor name  
Since shortly we shall come to persons fame,  
Their pleasures now in general I note 
qualis qu●que aerbor tales solet dere fructus.   
Who do them thus to travelling devote.  
But know the aim of noblest youthful men  
Is still in forraines to accomplish them  
Sea captains in the joys of Navigation,  
Land captives where war is extant in a nation.  
Nobles at courses of greatest sport, and fame,  
Merchants to port towns of the richest name,  
Discovers to the far remotest regiones  
The unsettled Crac-kbrane 't Ansterdams' religiones,  
The novelest, toth' shadow of a sieidge  
Rome, Compostella, or castilian Bridge,  
Laurettoes' relics, or old juryes Cells,  
The wild and savage wonders lapland tells,  
So each his humour covets to attend  
For travail every humour can befreind,  
Some to the East, some west, or Northerue run,  
Others discoveries to the South unknown  
All sorts of solace travellers attending  
And them with their desired joys befending, 
Quallitates des; iderande

Qualities not inferior to any,

Or this our tedious pilgrimage employ,  
That betters man within, without and both,  
Expelling sickness, laziness, and sloth,  
Subject's man both to health and happiness,  
Must needs be judged an earthly worthiness  
True travails this it exercises men  
That these home oppilations choke not them  
Clearing the stomach by the seas purgation  
The mind of dumps by motive recreation,  
The brain of melancholy blockishness

If well pursued, thus worthy I conclude  
Cheering the soul and checking sonces rude,  
That breeds eternal quietness to men,  
Begetting virtuous faculties in them 
Virtutem veram qui possidet ille beatus ille satis felix permitat cetera divis marcel.   
Must needs be worthy in their native kind  
Worth the embraces of each noble mind,  
Lo! travails this humility it causes  
Conducting man thence to deserved applauses,  
Civility breeds by experience made  
Diligence by true practice in each trade,  
Policy by survey of thousands acted  
Patience by endure of griefs effected, 
Siqua amisis●● vitae gaudia negotiatio est parua amitere ut maiora lucrerir:   
Pity by religious observations  
Courtesy from the use of best seen nations,  
Compliment from the order of the Court  
Manners and trade where factories resort,  
Agility and activeness by motion  
Wisdom collecting every way good notion,

Language by trade and foreigners commerce  
And what in brief of worth man may rehearse,  
And though most miss this, 'tis not it but them  
Wisdom is hid from greatest part of men.  
And man must practice long with patience  
And thank his god for what he gathers thence.  
Therefore I say neerlesse, these qualities  
Will urge the wise her worthiness to prise,  
O Could we but consider at the sea  
How in a storm the traveller doth plea 
Mercator facturus iter terretur & alt●: pectore d●● gemitus, metu ens scopulos●reta ventos.   
With god for mercy, aid and preservation  
Expecting still a fatal inundation,  
His faith now conflicts with his fear therein  
Vowing to god preserved near more to sin  
But live renewed and thankful evermore  
The Lord over come with penitence deplore,  
Soon sends a calm as wished to cure his heart  
And winds and weather to desire convert,  
He passes now with praises to his maker  
And vows himself to vice and sin forsaker  
Next course he meets with pirate's opposition  
And must endure a soldier's condition,  
The smoke and bullets smoke it many die  
A time to importune the god on high.  
If jonas house th' whales belly made him pray  
Or the Desciples when the storm o'ersway,  
Or Paul's associates at approaching night  
Then needs the christian in his naval fight.  
His faith and valour grow by use more strong  
Praises to god in conquest are his song  
So that the foe surpressed with the sight  
By prostrate yeildance forced is to flight  
The medicinal rares on earth dispersed  
With exceilencies not to be rehearsed  
Besides those water's bath and Spa excelling 
Sicredire dignum est, Ouid.   
Both many noisome foul defects expelling  
The Poet's fictions of acadian wells  
Wherein the per●urd only die he tells  
Azaniam causing hate of wines and drink,  
Matters for puny shallow pates to think  
Such and a crew of frothy fictions vain  
As sots surmise, mere simples entertain

Plain truth that claims justly travails place  
Her worths are in true properties relation  
Not needing any feigned innovation  
Note but the rustic hatched with pap at home  
In mother's manors; plow-trickes only known  
Either in City or with gentry placed  
At first how motley raw, despised disgraced.  
While by the nurture's of a better breed  
he's with behaviours better far agreed  
Just thus 'tis with a new hatched traveller 
Noratrus in Art poetics.   
In foreign way on each file bend to err  
Though judged, at home sufficient any way  
Come here he's wanting what to do or say  
'tis with him thus I say and nothing less  
Until he parts, and language too possess  
His home bred posture cannot act his part  
That's folly here, theers estimate an art  
Experience it wiil work an uniform

But see at sea their frothiness is scourged,  
And by a timely pill there brains are purged,

And th' other sweet tooth glad to pick a bone.  
Oh sy! that travail ere allowed such brats,  
Fitter to hedge the fire with dogs, and cats.  
For there they still may play with mother's dug,

Fond Chimy Cricket know that travails way,

The bests are hardest ever to be gained  
And with endurance must be entertained

Make no exceptions take what lots besale.  
Expect no sleepy solace as at home,  
Nature it differs in each clime is shown,  
Expect no other but a share in crosles,  
As thou through travails desert each way passes  
With good Lo! bad must equally be shared,  
Provide then, be thou for them both prepared,  
See as a second diligence attends,

Our ends to purchase and prevent deceit

And sottish dulness, in a slow prepare

And diligence will many lets displace.  
By temperance's rule and bodies kept,  
From routs of ills, in latter ages crept.  
Commands the senses, rules by moderation,  
In drink, and meat, according to the nation,  
And pleasures, too, for know no vice more raighnes  
Than this intemperance in youthful veins.  
Incontinency issues as effect,  
And due reward of temperance neclect.  
Much like the passages of drunkenness,  
Worthily said our Britons to possess.  
As hear at home: in foreign soil men tell

Whereon the Epicurean vain serves constantly,  
Let travails worthies worthless vices fly.  
So shun such sins so many still destroy.  
Unhappy he intemperance shall employ.  
Some have I noted who have diet kept  
In eating, drinking: and pleasures sweetly slept, 
Marulus● Lecheritanians.   
When others on a surgeons box append,  
Or on a doctors bill as bad attend  
Some have I heard of wisely note the Clime,  
Great dangers to prevent by keeping time.  
In rising after fogs by sun are clear,  
A death to othets who neclect it there  
The freezing could in ruff, know how to quail,  
And in the Torrid countries heets assail  
Swellings and sudden pa●sies ginny boyles.  
For divers ills encounter diverse soils.  
Men must, as Masinissa keep good diet,  
Else must the body languish out of quiet.  
Luxurious sardinapals imitation,  
And Bacchus Trophies are in every nation.  
Covers thou now to shun these lion clawen  
Be temperate, and timely shun the cause.  
For venery is occasioned oft by Drink.  
Then men once in, turned prodigals, soon sink.  
Wherefore an opposition must be framed,  
Whereby the lets of travail may be tamed,  
Prudence of moral virtues for her grace  
Merits her rank in travails primest place,  
The straits of virtue so by vice beset,  
As we may well perceive a world of let.

Descry the things that let to travail well.  
Foresee the Western lust with chaste intents,  
And th' drunkenness in the East alike prevents.  
The vices that attend in court and city,  
Becoming by the better view more witty.  
It being no less wit ills to escue,  
Then that is good by science to pursue,  
A quality, next serving to her worth.  
Whereby a form of manage issues forth:  
Gracing the subject with admired affection,  
An industry well merits all's amplexion  
Pericles science praised is herein,

And moses science, and great weekenesse raised,

By his contriving, purchased release.  
Yea so hath arts by search been brought to light,  
When sciences peruse proves man's delight.  
Tiresias, and Archilochus for lines,  
And Aristotle physics best of those times.  
As Bazaleel, and Aholiabs' skill.  
God those thus with his spirit did fulfil.  
All Curious arts of sciences to know,  
And one the temples fabric all to show  
Thus providence is sent forth to project,  
How to supplant in travail each defect.

'tis not to be assumed as due to all,  
But only such whom God to it doth call,  
In honest wise, 'tis the Apostles case,  
Wherere man's called, abide he in that place,  
Conditions praised are proper to the men,  
Who are and rightly too installed in them.  
And every man his limits due assighnd,

We must dehort, not raise a straggling mind,  
Lest by refusal they with Icarus,

Such have I scene in giddiness depart,

Squander their means in fruitless lawless life,  
Uncalled forsaking families and wife,  
Yet shrouded ever in some poor pretence.  
Of need, friends, bettering faith or conscience.  
Some small time spending vainly, gulled retire,  
With poverty the fruit of rash desire.

And if too weak in time from both surcease,  
Of thoughts to build, and sue to have a peace.

A worth if ere in any course required  
In this its ten times more to be desired.  
Prevents a famine oft of store at sea,

Attends at pinch, and in extremes befriends.

And hence I down to next of virtue's fall:  
Being a mind magnavimously bend,  
With courage eresses bitter to prevent:  
Armed in a faith and hope in a tempration  
Anchored firm in gods mercy past narration,  
To this the scriptures plentifully move,  
And daily trial's wonder or sly improve.

Whence comes it travails termed the Godlies' lot  
No perfect solace can below be got

Then as a mortal, many, crosses shares.  
Next in his place (for no place so defended  
But sometimes is and shall thus be attended)  
Sometime by ship wrack, then by pirate's theft  
And then by trust of any estate bereft,  
Now in profession, then in body beats,  
Then in his travails multitudes of cares.  
But Lo! his courage, christian faith begets?  
When any danger sea or land besets:  
As Paul he's bold, and fortifies the rest,  
Being with a heart magnanimous possessed.  
For all things work he knows to him for good  
Nor can he be by Hell or Hag withstood.  
Cross to this worth is fearful pale distrust,  
Not rating God as merciful as just.  
'twas the disciples weakness; Thomas salt, 
Gratia bene ordinas quae dedit creatio Bernardus in tract: Degr●: Lib: 6:   
And too to common still when storms assault.  
Or hight of a presumption in ourselves

Though all for sake thee Lord yet will not I

And scorn of strangers in a foreign state,  
Yet see we some, too many too aspired

Into some state of travail as desired:  
Stand puff, and huff, to natives coming o'er 
Phaeton!   
The priest forgets he was a clerk before

Through all the paths of travail we proceed.  
Adding a credit mid the stranger's town.  
And purchasing a truth of much renown.  
For witness, hand, and oath, thus bare word passes  
And much a christian Carriage each way graces.  
When lying stops a strangers love intended,  
And treachery when matters pass pretended.  
'twas Abners' bane, yea joabs', judas kiss,  
Recorded for a treachery in this.  
Great Allexanders' fame allurd to treachery.  
By base Parmeno, that I should gain say.  
Was I Parmeno, but I am myself,  
And prise fair victory above all wealth.  
Worthy Fabritlus told pirrhus though a foe,  
How he was moved to his overthrow.  
Not janus Bifrons with a Harpey smile,  
Bend both ways equal falsely to beguile:  
But jonathan like pattern true affection,

In melancholy fancies only joyed,  
Whereby loves true Urbanity is destroyed.  
And travails paths disconsolaterate made.  
Man a mere deadman mid a Living trade.

Good mirth and gladness grace true courtesy  
As do good properties good men descry.  
A merry consorts chariot in the way,  
And makes a long way short as sages say.  
Arts acting parts, than history attending,  
Then the merry muses with their hores descending.  
The wood and water nymph bring in there shares,  
And time of old itself a new declares,  
A scholer's half a traveller at home.  
Attended in his study though alone.  
Yet better fitted travails rites to use,  
Then mid books dull acquaintance sit and muse.  
Learning's most proper to the fortaine breed,  
Whereby both they and these at home are fed.  
His protects, plots, and parts of travelling  
Assist the state, himself, his church, his King.

As generals may the specials command.  
As for the christian progress, it's daily taught, 
Vivat, Valeat Vincat Carolus   
And bless we him his plenty here hath brought.  
A like much care for mortal travails taken,  
What's best to be embraced? what forsaken?  
Travail to foreign parts, I only tend,  
Wherein the rest I briefly comprehend.  
Circumstance saith our lawyer altars Case,  
Our circumstances shall be time, and place,  
Part for the whole, though more might be proposed  
The whole may in his parts be full disclosed:  
First for the time to travail in most free,  
Is as the persons interessed be: 
Met ghemat men gaet verr.   
Person with place and time colatertali made  
Respective to the calling, cause, of trade.

How ere the soldier may of quarrels boast.  
For wars a viper that devoureth ever

Beati pacifici. math: 5.   
Yet thence the time, the warrior travails forth.  
And now's the season best to show his worth.  
Times they are as men's purposes require,  
And hearein every one must back retire,  
And note his own occasion when best  
How should I be with each man's way possessed?  
Yet there's a time for all things to be done,  
The wisest saith) environed with the sun  
A seed time, spring, a harvest, and a frost:  
A time to linger travails time to haste,  
A time to laugh, to morn, to sport to stay. 
Elt hefis zein tij● Omnia tempus habent, & suit spatijs transe unt universa sub caelo Ecles. 3. 1.   
A time to fight, to rest, to war, to pray,  
A time to fish, and fur, and fir in East  
A time for oil, and vintage in west,  
A time to care, to watch to plodd, yet then  
A time without time, that's unknown to men,  
Wherefore while time is present pass thy trade  
By this pursuit are many wise men made  
When as the foolish late are wanting oil: 
Naufragium, occursus pirat arnm. Pall.   
Others in fruitless desperation toil.  
Time is when storms at sea much multiply  
And Hymall clouds Enuelop sun, and sky,  
When art, and skill, and trial, turn to doubt,  
Ignorant which way now to use the rout.  
When decks are clad with cloudy oceann,  
And dreary gusts incarcerate each man.  
Now skill of Compass Card and crostaffe, failest  
Poor man as in a second deluge sails,  
No harbour, hope, or help seems to assist  
Yet then the ship to wonder doth resist  
She traviles up towards heaven as if there,  
Convoy Elyas fiery Chariots wear:  
And nests in mounts billows of Neboos hight  
Quavering as drunk thereon; a scarring sight  
Not now content she shifts from hill to hill.  
And in her progress sore against her will. 
Psal. 107. jonas. 3- Acts. 23.   
They post her downward as an arrow shot,  
When lo! her next pursuer sees her not,  
As if to those dejected Angels fled,  
Chased from thence, by the Almighties dread,  
When see no sooner ●●owsd in valleys deep  
But at a start she monnts a gain as steep,  
No more, Wife David Limbs it more at life,  
jonas and worlds of try all end the strife,  
Note only this in all these trafickes scenes  
Time, joins with place, both act as primest means  
The issues serve the cause, cares are arrendants,  
Since providence and wit ●eare, no defendants.  
For see the sea men strangely terrified,  
Nor land, sun, stars, or light can be descried▪  
Yet pry, and hale, and pump, and all to save. 
Ziet oped eind. Apres lapluye vientle bean temps.   
And now the merchants bilt the saylours' slave.  
His life more precious makes him, pump, and pull,  
Storms make each silly shipper master●ull,  
Each die themselves their couch and goods in waves,  
And in this dreadful postutes play the slaves.  
Their prayers, and pains and tears, are multiplied, 
Est modus in rebussunt certi denique fines.   
Winter storms terrors not to be descried.  
The vernal view fell Boar as homeward Chases  
And Calms for storms and light for fogs replaces,  
Thus oft at last an unexpected rest  
Possesseth Mariners and Merchants breast:  
Cross time grows ●ilder, mists are vanished,  
Billows made plain, and Rocks discovered:  
Men are at ease, the Ship now quieted,  
And th'hilly Ocean as a sheet is spread  
But see! the time, times will be waited on,  
'tis better therefore, tarry ● now at home:  
I mean now Sol to Caprecorne hath hied,  
And Eolns' surveys the Seas in pride.  
When churlish Neptune counter mands our ends,  
Herein it is my Muse true time commends:  
The time again is as the Climate stands,  
Since divers times attend on divers Lands:  
For East, and North, by icy hyemes closed,  
Travail these ways is crossly now oposd:  
No green-land, nor a Moscow voyage then  
Presumptions eat the lives of many men: 
Temporibus modicina valent data tempore prosunt & data non apto tempore vinanocent.   
The times of passage under zounds observe,  
Be sure thy body's rule to it reserve  
Such timely moderation health Commands  
When much diseases neclects attendant stands  
A time most suiting every limb of trade,  
For true avail by aid of time is made 
Ovid: art am:   
One time another Crossing in her state  
And what's a gemm now: thence quite out of date.  
A time when by iwasion and war,  
That country where our course is, is at jar: 
Temporiserua, near staventis phooilides.   
And Garrisons, and rutters domineer,  
'tis no good season now to travail here.  
For Lion like fell war devowres all right,  
And laws, are prostrate to a vulgar might,  
A time for specials, such i'll not discover,  
For Propertyes in time surpass each other.  
jarres suit ye see to sums best benefit,  
When, 'tis good for others peacefully to sit.  
Peace fits Republic traffic to avail,  
And Actual smiles the mariner assail,  
Lo! now a limb of travails way is this,  
Not of true times of travailing to miss  
Occasions figure epitomes these things  
Since time still flies, and hies with swiftest whings  
The deed is crowned thus executed well,  
And now I come of places rites to tell.  
Time's hour glass runs, and sword devours on [earth,  
Yet each day's dissolution is his birth: 
Front capillata postest occasio calua   
Serving attendant to the God above,  
Fitness of time one such his grace doth love:  
Next to the place our travails must be fitted,  
Else must the sequel show us shallow witted.  
Man must Each Climes condition preconceave.  
And different humours there in use perceive.  
For nature's wondrous fabric sorted stands, 
Natura gaet voor lecre.   
In all the parts and parallels of Lands.  
Earth's circled kernel with the Heunes according:  
Relative course to object climbs affording  
A local method causing to admire,  
Whose fruits scene; feed, the travellers desire  
Since discrepant subject to the clime,  
In creature, feature, fruit, delight and time.  
Expect none but colaterall relation, 
Wat noodich is moet vergaen   
Petwixt a divers people, clime, and nation:  
View well their wiles, the Sutherne nations use,  
B●nt to allure, betray, cheat, and abuse,

For arm thyself to these by providence.

Men to their climes still good or worse are fitted,  
Had not each then in sight be sharper witted?

But millions are intravailes traces shown,

In all things fit, to decour travails grace.  
For first, once shipped: now 'tis good to meditate▪  
Where thou art now reposed, thy dangerous state  
This place requires much prayers and preparation  
Sorted with some survey of navigation  
See to thy body seaficke keep it warm,  
Vital powers opened, th' bodies most in harm.  
Use excercise above, and little sleep,  
This Galene holds will thee in temper keep.  
Know thou a Captain here is as a King,  
And please the mariners in any thing.  
'tis they defend thee from fell waves devour.  
And he hath now thy liberty in power.  
See th', master have in seafkilles able share,  
And in the stearage look one have a care.  
'twas Palinure Aeneas ship did save,  
Never make choice then of a skilless slave.  
Chanced in a storm hale tackle, and assist,  
Two better may then one, assaults resist:  
If in a fight scorn cowardice to use,  
Better by far life, or a limb to lose,  
Then be a slave to tyranny of so, 

Gratiarum enim cessat de cursus ubi recursus non fuerit.  
Bern: serm: 55.    
Many by try all have anoucht it so,  
But guess the worst, 'tis odds that valience slaves,  
And thus the place well, used your foes are slaves.  
Landed now's place of thanks for gods defence,  
So each haste to his own place free from hence,  
'twere frivolous for me to scale the orb,  
Of local rites each country doth afford:  
Take compasses and meet, each man his own,  
And in that place keep compass as is shown.  
Earth's various forms, in travails wonders see,  
Then parallel and with thy own agree.  
And to thy state, occasion and climb,  
Fit upon trial course of place and time.  
And thus the map of travails way is spread  
The Compass in the mid; each line is lead  
By point: the Rhomb, thou seekest shall direct,  
Thee by the causes to censure they effect.  
Fate's Loadstone right to will of highest set,  
Cannot we say by art of man be let.  
Yet by our runrace; judge we the arrive.  
Since cases common to their causes thrive.  
So had I done and set my muse at rest  
Had she not smelled some savours of disrest,  
Ascending from the fog of misty Zoyle,  
And with a puff or two thus ends the broil  
The Infidel, or home hatched misty eye,  
Seeing us travails wonders thus descry. 
Obiectio: 1.   
Puffs out his froth: I never saw the things, 
Defoliuge breve sort nce.   
And sight alone from me a credit brings.

Depends not on thy view but application:  
Blessed are they saith jesus trust unseen  
Whose faiths their golden medium between.  
Thus than thy soul the better parts affected  
Why'es' Charity thy senses quite rejected?  
A local distance causing thy distrust, 
〈…〉.   
Yea all eyes blind and men but thee unjust.  
Lo! every day a confirmation comes,  
Of wonders waiting at our very homes.  
Strange births and mereoures, deluges. and fires  
Issues for sin of the all potents ires;  
Yea creatures common in our clime no rares,  
But wondrous to a stranger here repairs.  
As is the clime: lands are miraculous,  
Blind ignorance thee metamorphisd thus.  
Creation's worth, though Gods first work unknown  
Thy sight, not reason Credits what at home.  
Elie know how ere in tales are much abuse  
The eye of wit will pass twixtlyes and truths.  
Reason, and learning prospects will discern  
And the truth amidd a world of fallace learn.  
Well it's enough then; now i'll read and credit,  
So can I sit by th' fire and purchase it, 
Obiectio. 2.   
The wise man's sluggard used indeed to say  
Yet some more sleep, as lions in the way 
Quisqxt habet mores ita iudicat itaq fatur: M: Palling.   
Such shallow puffs are fruits of negligence,  
Still 'tis enough; is every sots pretence  
This makes thee man so unbelieving bent,  
Because come short of travails true intent:  
Orlando, Bevis, Palmeryn and such,  
Are by the fire side credited as much  
As truer travails; if oppofd thou'lt say  
A man may credit, or he may denay  
Reeview the worth of travail and behold!  
She triumphs mid of wonders manifold.  
Then recollect the losing difference, 
Licet acrioraqua legas, altius tamen in animo sedent quae vult us, habitus; & gestus dicentis ad figit.   
Twixe passive, and betwixt the active sense.  
Had our heroickes trusted passive senses,  
And made their ease and safety home pretences  
The ways of travail never had been known  
Nor Earth itself ere to itself been shown:  
Nor mutually each others rares imparted, 
Pliny. Epistola: 4: Lib: 2.   
Or the rude heathen to the truth converted:  
Or yet the wonders of Almighty spread  
But each been blind fouled by relation led.  
Be ruled by me still keep thy chimney warm,  
A sluggish spirit breeds but travails harm. 
Obiectio. 3.   
I'll not repeat her many worths to thee,  
Tarry at home, let others go and see, 
Omnibus sane factis in est periculum neque quis novit quo apulsurus esta: negotii principio Solon   
Well I agree a third cries t' travail due  
In wonders: and her worths wotthy pursue  
But oh! the dangers in the way affright  
Better than try: I'll trust what others write.  
'twas the fond crochey t Israel's spies possessed,  
Sent by the Church to view that land of rest  
The An●kims great Giants guard that land  
And how can we these enemies withstand?  
This cowardice these saithlesse disinherits  
Caleb and josua prosper by faiths merits,  
Thou readest of Christ his travailing at sea,  
when help us Lord, was the disciples plea.  
He checked soon storms as Lord of sea and land  
Nor can the proudest wave his word withstand  
Art, thou a Christian? know God's providence,  
At sea, or land is equal strong defence,  
Thy lot that's to thee man predestinate  
Nor canst over run or over stay thy fate  
Perishes on man's lineage travelling?  
Another dies in bed? why here's the thing.  
I'll never come swearest thou where these wear lost  
No nor to be by sea or pirates crossed  
And why forswearest not fool thy bed alike?  
Where death each day doth greater numbers, strike?  
And aches, pains, yea crosses too: are more,  
Then at the sea or of our native shore  
I had for got in travails ways to tell  
How thou art skilled in this distrust so well  
'tis penury of faith to fortysye.  
And breed in thee a noble constancy  
Thou livest at home an unbelieving course  
Nor dost with God in privacy converse  
Prayers a stranger to thy study cases,  
This makes thee so profane in foreign places.  
A conscience pure is always lion bold,  
Impures to ill and desperation sold.  
A good man bears the record in his breast  
That all to him shall issue for the best.  
The man holy at home he's fortified  
And's, both for storms and opposition tried: 
Ibi fides nullum habet meritum, ubi ratio buma nahabet experimentum. Gregor: in euan ●6.   
Comes and is bold gods works at sea to see  
Longing to know his wonders what they be  
Armed well by prayer, and patience for a storm,  
And fortified by faith can each no harm  
Knows providence his portion hies a way.  
And safely can in midst of pirrils stray, 
Oivitae secur a ubi est conscien●●a pura. Romans. 8. Caelum non animum mutant qui transemare currunt.   
Counts crosses, deaths and all, like advantageous?  
And how can this man choose but pass courageous?  
Thy ignorance how blessed it is, opposes.  
Time every day true travails worth discloses.  
See Moses, joseph, Hester and the rest,  
In foreign travail wondrously blessed  
For where means seemeth vacant god supplies,  
And in defect gods greatest honour lies, 
Posse pati facileest tibi ni patientia desit. Ovid: amor,

How able means is to the place declared,

Yet Know if thou hast small at home to spend,

Thou meanest perhaps the lawless leagaver crew

Hurts are in marble graved: but gifts in sand  
And thus misprise men the almighties hand

Lo! Losses wait one men as much at home,  
And Crosses charge us thicker's daily known.  
unkindnesses in strangers grievie us less  
Than such who though of land, and blood oppress:  
And man can travail harder, and content:  
Then when his home friends eye his poor intent.  
A thousand honest shifts men there effect,  
Which end in worth, success, and good respect,  
Which they abashed at home could never try  
Or in a worse sort suffer misery.

When dangers seem most sudden to devour  
So have I seen, but often heard it told,  
Men by the very sea storms made more bold.  
And in the mid of likely losses gain,  
And (more abroad than near home) grace attain.  
And lesser cares in foreign cases serve  
Then where their birth more mercy did deserve,  
Yea more abroad rich then in father land,  
See! travellers help, in the Almighty's hand.

Thus wanders man, in him his destinies.  
A sparrow cannot fail but by his fate  
Who could ere? once prolong; amend abate?  
True Christian travail makes the mortal blessed  
And him that in the two is interest,  
The course of civil travail was our task,  
Daily, divines the other two unmask, 
Travails welfare to be added.   
The issues seen (if worthy view) 'tis well,  
Many more learned the form may hap excel, 
Veritas ●●e and 〈◊〉   
The matter founded on the rock of truth,  
Both recreations of my muse in youth  
Courage then travails noble sons advance  
Arm and expect a map of cross mischance:  
Rocks pirates gulfs straits sirens storms & store  
Of remoraes and monsters of the shore. 
Ille quidem dus gratus est eu: coginat● hoc sunt: omnia sue 〈…〉 rerum se 〈…〉 ad usus Hefio●●●.   
Behold as virtues vices are attendants  
ye must be both assailants and defendants:  
Hang not on airy hope of fate alone,  
Providence only industry will own.  
Suppose the worst in travail that may come  
Scorning those flashy preconceyts of some,  
Who guess all done, to do strange things effected  
The golden means of modesty neglected  
When if a loss, or crosseth wart there intent  
The gains despair the end astonishment 
Ep: Eronn.   
Level thy doubts and hopes so though all lost  
Thy patient soul of gain in loss may host: 
Ephilegu●   
Thus travails wonders worths and ways declared  
And travails walfares as a fourth prepared,  
Calliope by Cinthius called: flies forth  
Denying travail welfare to his worth: 
●ax pocali Patriaeque ●alus, & gloria regni, Carol●●.   
Since oh the times, fell mars his welfare crosses  
By pirate's rapines ruins murders losses  
Mourn o my muse in secrest and retire,  
Till Europe live in peace, his long desire.  
when on his welfares thou more ●ee mayst sing,  
And Britain bless jehove who wrought the thing.  
Then for a fourth her wellfar●● shall ascend  
And until then my trial hath an end.  
Si bene quid feci deo gratare Datori  
Si male quid feci noveris esse meum.
