Printed for Sir Balthasar Gerbier Kit Douvilly. Anno 1660.   

To the KING of Great Britanne.  
May it please your Sacred majesty.  
AS all the World takes a respect full notice of your Sacred Majesties most gracious care for the advancement of his Loyal subjects good, and itt would be a horrid precedent that in the number of those whose zeal is awakonned by so great and matchless example, one should be found neglect full in his duty, not imitating those who sail not to set their little pocket watches by the grand Dial of the Sun, (parfaict in its course and splendour) I have most devoutly persuaded myself that the following Summary Description (and Advertissement) ought to be made public, to the end all men (desirous to improve themselves by Plantations) might be well informed on what certainty thy could engage.  
And as your Sacred Majesty's subjects have a great experience in Plantations, yet most of them to have bestowed much time, labour, and cost on Plantations in the Charibdien Eylands, butt have not been so well informed of better progresses to be made under the best clime of the firm Land on the Coast of America, and may draw benefit of relations grounded on certanty: I have therefore thought it my duty to put forth the said Sommary Description, as a mark of the Loyal Zeal, and dependency of  
Your Sacred Majesties Most humble, most obedient, most Loyal Zealous naturallized subject and Servant B. GERBIER Douvily.   

A Sommary DESCRIPTION, Manifesting that greater Profits are to be done in the hit then in the could parts off the Coast off AMERICA: And how much the public good is concerned therein Referring to the annexed ADVERTISSEMENT, For men inclined to Plantations.  
AN Advertissement for men inclined to Plantations manifesting that greater profits are to be done in the hit then in the could parts off the Coast off America, (and which was printed at Rotterdam as appears by the annexed) hath promised this Summary Description/ and the which was conceived fit to be published with all due and zealous respects unto his Sacred Majesty, as at so great incomparable an example (of his most extraordinary gracious care for the public good) all men are obliged to be awakened/ and to offer (according unto their talent whatsoever may be off use: And should not all men do so? then must every one be an open enemy to himself/ as also onworthy that a Souverayne should (as to say) fatigate himself in seeking and pracktysing all advantages/ whereby benefits may be procured unto them/ which hath so manifestly appeared as foreign nations have not only admired his gracious bounty in the behalf off his Loyal subjects, butt moved some to offer likewise certain expedients. Whereby his service and the good off his subjects may be much advanced.  
The said being not only a manifest truth concerning foreign Nations in Europe, but a most remarcable one in the Inhabitants off the coast off America, who about the time of his Sacred Majesties, returning into England) when no Courriers nor weeckly Intelligencers could bring that happy neewes their) expressed their ressentments/ which may well deserve to be taken/ notice off/ as lickewyse that thy had the tiding even in the month of May Anno 1660. which the heavens must have brought unto them.  
The said wild (in name but nor wild in nature for that thy are off a most mild disposition) said that thy could not endure those men who do not love their Anna Cajoury (which is to say king or Scheeff) butt bid wilcome all such as are true unto him bring them/ refrechments off Annasses. And other fruits/ as also Wild dear, fish, and foul, besides all what thy could find in those parts which thy do inhabit.  
And as thy know that number off them are on the Hands of Barbados/ S. Christosters'/ as also on the same Coast of America as at Sarename, thy (for as much their capacity makes them discuss matters) do not a little wonder how such as leave the cold clime in Eurorope will transport themselves to the cold parts of America, and not prefer the hot where it never winters/ and no fire needs to be made but to boil their fish and Crabs/ and to cost wild dear and foul.  
That then the love off a Christian (for the advancement of the public good) may not be said to be more could than the frozen Northerens climb/ nor the innocent Charibdiens reproach unto such a one (who thy have not failed to visitte and to impart unto him what the hot parts off America is capable off) his want off charity. This Summary Description must defend/ and most seasonnably free from desadvantagious explications on the fresh return off a notable Equipage which in the year 1659. hath been sent from Amsterdam to the Coast of America, and that likewise no men (sudued with common Sense) may have any just cause to● doubt of the truth that this Description is well grounded/ it hath seemed necessary to hold forth the cause of the re in facta return of that Equipage; and why the men who were sent to that much more beneficial hot part off America thou the cold did not settle their/ which though it should require every ample Description hath been thought fit to contract in as seemlynes as possibly may be/ since it is but to serve as replaye unto the particular Quaeritur which may be made concerning the cause of such return; yet must the said description be taken from the spring off the evil/ the which proceeded from a hellish ambition off certain Thrusties' sent which the afore said Equipage, and who before their departure from texel conbyned against the cheeff Commandor and Patron off an intended Colony to be settled on the Coast off America. To make themselves masters, so thy could dispocesse him, or destroy his persson and his family, that their might remain no pretenders to the Land which he was to pocesse.  
Which conbination being discoured to the said chief Commandor Sir Balthasar Gerber, authorised by special commission off the Lords Estates general off the united Provinces/ and off the West-Indian Company/ obliged him (by the prime Law of self preservation, to defend he (as much possibly he could against such a damnable plot/ which never oughst to have been expected from rationals/ nor from men to whom he was a benefactor/ and whoe would not have been admitted without his consent).  
Yet so far had the spirit off Diluzion charmed them as forgetting God/ and the property off Human Souls/ thy only represented to themselves (as the Phabulous Midas) tot choke themselves with Gold and Silver/ and to run head long to those parts were precious things are said to be had; as also to meet with cheefs off families who might sheew them the way to el Dorado, and Manua.  
Thy thought on nothing else save to destroy their cheeff Commandor/ and his family/ as Otto Key the prime leader who could not so much as dissimule his murdering inclination/ when as he vented (before his departure from Texel) That he would make short work with the Commandor, and his family; and (being once set on firm ground in America) either get a golden fleece, or a rope about his neck) that he would theirefore copulate with one off the chief Indian his Daughter, and then kill him, to make he master off all. So as killing and murdering was the main delight and scope off this worse than Barbarian disposition/ as that off his choice fellow trusties.  
In fine/ so as the evili begun it was pursued; and never ceased until after the arrival of the Equipage on the Coast of America.  
The Equipage did consist off three good Vessels/ well provided with all necessaries/ as Victuals/ Ammunition/ Cargazoen/ to Traffic with: materials/ Ingredients to purge minerals Toels to work with/ and to manuer the Land; One Rijnier Van Buren the Commissary off the Magazyn (a notable hellish monopollist) agitating (as inpudently and Inprudently said) according unto his secret instructions received before his departure from Amsterdam to combyne against the said Commandor resolved as Well as the others after having made use off several stratagems. to make an end off the said Commandor and off his harmless family/ remitting as his other fellow trusties the prosecution off the establishing off the Colony/ and all the main for the which the Equipage was sent until thy should have performed their bloody work which thy compassed in part; as is particulaly mentionned in the afforesaid annexed advertissement; Whereby the Quaeritur concerning the reinfacta return of the Equipagie is answered/ and may well serve for an argument that the sand Sir Balthasar Gerber could never have done any good with such men/ who as thy minded but his extirpation/ never suffered him after the arrival off the Equipagie on the Coast off America to settle the intended Colony/ nor to repair in persson n'ay not so much as to inquire after all such things where unto the Equipagie was set forth/ for thy thought to have gotten outt off him all what soever thy were to purchase in America and were confident enouff that their was a fleece to be had/ butt thy would put it into their particular sack/ for thy were not Ignorant that all the world hath spoken off El Dorado, and Manva, as credible men have published that Don Diego d'Ordas, captain to Cortes, (who conquered Mexico) did discover richesses' in the King doom off Guaiana, as Gaspar de Sylva, and Jean Gonzales did relate Wondrous things off that continent/ so have thy been sought by Philip d'urens, Pedro de Lympias, Geronimo d'Ortal, Ximenes, the brother off Ximena de Guesida, Pedro d'Ossima and the monek Sala whoe braught cast golden Aigles from thence  
Therefore the said combinators kneew well also/ that it was said that when the Duke of Buckingham was attending the Prince of great Britain at Madrid, one Don Anthonio Hennin, had (by Sir Balthasar Gerbeer, been examined/ and Introduced to the said Duke, that the said Don Hennin produced the mineral/ which he had brought from America, and that the said mineral did render a very rich quantity off gold Thy kneew also (especially Otto Key who had been present at Delff when by the appointment off that Magistrate a proefe was made off the mineral) That itt did render gold/ and that it was off the same which in the year 1656 (in a Schip called the Liefde) was brought from the coast off America.  
But so great there unjust scope was as to mind nought butt what might contribute to the rendering off them sole pocessors off all/ and suffer themselves to be persuaded to make use off anny falcehoods/ whereby thy might disguise their bloody dessyne/ and sent horrid relations to their confident Patron's/ among whom their is one who was not ashamed to boast to have said to a Souverayne Prince that Sir Balthasar Gerber did not agree with their trusties: which though he had done by yielding to their intent (which was to destroy him and his Innocent family) had been a most barbarous resolution in him/ and a shameful sign off weaknisse/ As would at present argue no less incensibillity in him in casse he should not (as a second Colomba) acquaint men capable off truth off the apparent good which may be done in the hit parts off the American coast/ and wherefore this Sommary description is put forth/ where off the particular an notations must be on this Principle/ That the profits to be done in the hit parts off America are incomparably more than those which men inprudently seek in the cold, Which to prove on certain grounds it willbe best first to fix on a calculation concerning the charges which men who transport themselves towards America must be at/ and therefore to specify a particular some off money/ which some have put forth on like occasion/ As for example/ that men who had bestowed one hundred and seventy nine pounds/ for their necessary expenses for their transportation/ and the preparing off fit grounds in the cold part off America, had not (at the end off a years turmoil and Labour) advanced a 'bove three pound/ which should seem to be almost Incredible.  
But that this truth may plainly appear the following calculation may serve for the manifestation off the same.  
First, a man must for transportation and food for he; his Wife, two Servants, children, and also for transportation off his household- stuffpay at the least ff 52- 0- 0 For one Child. ff 1- 4- 0 For the first year's maintenance for food clothis and light for he, his Wife child and two Servants at the least 20 Sc. per Week, which is per anum. ff 52- 0- 0 For the heyer off two labourers for a year ff 12- 0- 0 For two Kowes ff 24- 0- 0 For Scedes ff 4- 0- 0 For a Cart and Plough ff 6- 0- 0 For two beds, cheers and coverleds ff 5- 0- 0 For Schuvels, Spades, Axes, Hatchets, Pickakes, and other tools (necessary to the manvering off Lands) ff 18- 0- 0 For the Building off a house, for the Carpenter, with a man, daily wagers and Victuals ff 6- 0- 0 For the Iron work necessary to the house ff 9- 0- 0 For all Kind off necessary household stuff, as Kettles, Pots, dishes, and Pannes ff 12- 0- 0  179- 4- 0  
And is to be considered/ that before any profit can be had In such a cold clime (from Lands that must be prepared) two years willbe spent at the Least; for that those Lands (as Well as others) must be cleared from the Woods Which thy do bear/ the roets and stomps Well removed.  
That one man cannott clear/ prepare nor mannuer (during the time off a year) more than ten Acres of ground/ consisting off six thousand Rods.  
So as a man must Weekly clear/ prepare and manuer about one hundred and fifty Rods/ and/ consequently daily ●ynthien Rods.  
And who daily shall clear such a parcel off ground both off the Wood/ roets'/ and stomps'/ must labour very hard as Slaves do.  
Yet Were it so that in a years time a man could infallibly prepare so much ground to make it fit for the Plough. And that he could reap some benefit there on in the second Year/ yet must he from those ten Acres reserve two for hay/ and grass/ for two horses/ and two cows/ Which scarcely willbe fed/ by reason off the difference off Lands neewly made/ and those Which are troughly and fully groune.  
So is it necessary to keep two Acres of ground for grass for the cows/ and the two horses/  
So as off the ten Acres remains six to sow/ where of three may be sown with Wheat; one off the three others with Rye; the two other remaining with Barley/ Oates/ Pease/ and Beans/ where off the Rye (growing upon one off the Acres) will be necessary for the maintenance off the family/ since an Acre off good ground (which can be sown with one sack of Rye) doth noth produce above sixteen sack's/ which a family (consisting off a man/ woman/ two strong labourers and children) Will need for a years time; As lickwyse the same family shall need the production off the two other Acres off ground/ for housekeeping/ the Barley for Bear/ Pease/ and Beans/ for Salt Porc/ and the Oats for Horses.  
The groathe off the remaining three Acres being reserved alone for the making good off the expenses and the clering off debts made;  
But there cannot be gotten from the said three Acres above fifty four sacks off Corne.  
Which (when all is considered) cannot yield more than the number off people their can set aprisse thereon/ no advantage being to be expected by transportation off Corn to other parts off the World/ which needs not to send for Corn in America.  
So as when all what can be done in the could climb off America. (Being put together at the best) will argue it to be the worst which (men whoe seek to make a fortune) can be pitched upon in consideration off the advantages too be made in the hit clime off that continent.  
It will be very easy to all rationals to grant that the said hit clime ought to be preferred before the could/ where the ground bears all the year long/ because it never whiters their/ grapes could all the year long from the Stallee; as all other fruits. cattle producing abondantly; no such cost necessary as clothe clothing (and other chargeable defence) against the feercenisse off Winter season/ and no such indisposition tormentig the boddyes of men as occasionned by could mists/ piercing Winds/ Hails/ snow/ and hard frosts/ etc.  
All which is found to be true/ and not needing other tongues to speak it/ nor pens to write it/ then those off that people inhabitting the Charybdis Eylands/ as likewise Sarenamme, and Cajana, on the Coast of the firm Land off America; where (as is mentioned in the afore said annexed advertissemeut for men inclined to Plantations there) a most profitable settlement can be made/ and by the Service of Slaves (who need no cloathis against the could/ nor bedding/ nor any other such chargeable accommodations as a could Clime doth require; from which hit clime ready returns of precious things can be made without the loss off two years' time/ as in the could climb;  
Were no such cost must be bestowed for the building off houses for men/ nor Stables and chargeable barrins for the placing off cattle; for as the inhabitants (called the wild thoug very tame good people) will in feew days make a convenient habitation for one Axe, hatchet, and some knyffs, the cattle lives all the year long in the open air.  
The Slaves need no clothes/ and being once baught and paid are during all their life time workmen Without Wagers; when by one day free to themselves in the Week thy get their one Living/ and whoe do more Work (at there ease) then two Christians can perform/ both in the manuering off the ground/ and in digging off mines.  
Nor is in the hot parts of America in the beginning off Plantations much cattle necessary for housekeeping/ and the Labouring of grounds/ the great abundance off fruit considered: off fish/ foul/ and Will be Dear/ which all the year long is to be had their/ Nor need habitants furnish their houses with such chargeable household stuff as thy must necessarily have in the could parts/ nor bedding/ nor Scheetes/ for that in the hot parts a Hamack (to be had for one hatchet) is the best bed that can be made usse off/ both for the night/ and for a fresh repose in the day time/  
The difference off the profits which are to be done on the commodities which can be gotten from the said hot parts (and those which are gotten in the could) being as great as the difference off the worth off them is/ and were of any understanding person can make the estimate/ especially such men who know what distinction their is to be made between precious things/ or of great exteeme/ and ordinary commodities/ As the precious to be had in the Hit parts of America are Gould, Silver, Stonnes, of great value, precious Woods, for all kind of rare works, for Dye, Colours, as Oriana, Rocous for scarlet dye, and the Ultermarin, precious Balms, Armadac, Bolus, Cassia, rare Gums as Lemnae; sennement, which hath the Vigour off Cloves, bessydes Honey, clear as Crystal, and Wax, as their hath been found store off Nutmegs with Mace about them; which though some men gathered during the rainy months, (that thy where as unrype Aprikoks fallen youngh to the ground) have taken to be but Wild/ yet in all appearance (by reason of their shape/ colour/ inward veins/ and their taste) may (being full grown and parfaict ripe) prove to be right/ and of great concernment.  
The soul (by reason off the degrees onder the which it Lyith/ and the rain which falls in the Season which in Europe is the winter/ and yet in America continual warm days) bears continual/ without Intermition/ and in such a quantity as Jean Claasen Langendijck the Commandor in Cajana (five degrees by North the Line Equinoctial) both assure/ that certain part off his most rocky grounds which had been cleared to have within sirmonts time after (for want off continual trimming off the same) been as high over groune again as other part off Lands would not have been in six Years/ the which ground Sir Balthasar Gerbeere and his family hath seen; and otherways would have doubted off the report.  
The Planters likewise did relate that Sugar reeds have been found there as thick as a man's arm/ and that their cannot be better ground in the World for Sugar/ Indigo/ Cotton/ Tobaca/ and all kind off Seeds.  
On which infallible principle all men (desirous to Improve themselves by plantations) may take there levels/ and be justly moved to prefer the Hot clime off America before the could/ and that Without scruple off making use off Slaves by reason off an opinion entertained by some/ that it is not Christian-lycke to use rational creatures in that quality off Slavery/ when as the custom Was permitted in the old Testament, the neew forbids it not, and the Imperial Laws suffer the use off them; because Slaves bought in several parts off Africa (where thy will sell themselves again/ though by the death off their masters thy are become free) live their in the Slavery off the Devil, but by their transportation among Christians are in the first place (by education and good example) changed as from brutes/ into rationnalls/ and in the second by a custom (which must work upon them/ except God be pleased to suffer his extraordinary Mercy to say hold on their Souls) brought co call upon his name/ by faith in Christ Jesus, for the Which their Slavish condition proves to them a very great bliss/ since otherways thy (as experience hath manifested but to often) returning unto their one/ will likewise as Dogs return to their Vomit; besides Which reason (to serve against nisse and over scrupulous men) it may well be said that there is a great mistake in many who do Imagine that the keeping off Blacks in that manner be a rasse more hard than that off Servants whoe all their Lyffe long like in servitude/ and whoe do as much work (according unto the constitution off their bodies) as any off the Blacks, called Slaves/ whoe do not as the Holland maids Scour and wach on the Sabath Day) yet do not the Holland madens fair on the delicatnesses which the hot parts of the world do afford/ and may be said that Antonius (at the Table off Cleopatra) had not better; no Kings in Europe tasting to Annas, the fruit which King Jeames (off blessed memory) said the Wild were on worthy off/  
So all men inclined to Plantations (by the best profits to be done with the necessary husbandry (which in matter of Inprovement/ by negotiation/ and by manuering off grounds is a capital point) may (iff thy please) also reflect on the following calculation/ Whereby it appears/ With how much less charge a Planter may fit and transport Sim self to the hot parts off America, then to the could) Where off an estimate is set in the beginning off this sommary description/ vir.  
Iff a family (consisting off husband/ Wyff and Children) shall resolve to transport itself to America, as the Patrons of a Company Wilbe● contented to bear the charges/ to receive them a gain out of the fruits of the grounds/ which the Planters can (by a feew things taken allong with them (before their departure) fijnde wherewith to make good those charges at an easy rat/ the which cannot be done in the could parts of America, I parceell of knyves (worth three pence a piece) some Axes/ hatchets/ Sizars/ Razers; Glass beads/ and old course Linen will avail/ them/ as is mentionned in the aforesaid printed advertissement/ to get food/ both of flesh/ fish/ and foul/ and drink in abondance/ as lickwyse many things whereon thy will make great profit/ Parets/ Aeps/ Monckis/ Hamacks/ and several other things/ besides the honey/ Balms/ Cummes/ and Colours/ which the Indians will bring unto them.  
And as thy shall not pay for the transportation of their servants/ so thy shall not need to provide before hand to the nurrissement of such Slaves as thy would Employ and shall be delivered unto them on the place/ save but for eight months' time/ until the unprepared ground shall have been made fit/ and produce farinne/ whereof bread is made.  
Their must then (in the first place) be reckonned the charges for the Cassavy, which is a root where off the Indians do make ●●ead/ and is sold by them for a toy of beads/ or a knijffe/ not worth speaking of/ So is their drink (called parnaw) as good Bier/ Cawaw/ and the delicious drink called Jamany, fish/ foul/ and wild deer accordingly/ and as is particularly mentionned in the affore said printed advertissement.  
Whereby it appear that Whoesoever leaves the could parts of Europe, to repair to the cold of America, betters not his condition/ but that those who do go to the hot part makes as to a Land of promise/ and may well serve to Christians to conclude/ that it must be very good being in Heaven, since their is such a well being on Earth.  
If therefore men should be inclined to put a stock of money to gether/ to make an Improvement/ wherein the public good oft those of the Christian profession is concerned/ and the increase of Traffic in all the Charibdien Eylands/ in the which several things are requisitte/ and in some of them wanting/ as the inhabittants at S. Eustaches well know/ and feel; besides others/ who (out of certain respects shallbe spared to publish) The undertaking might be begun with a fashionnable Equipagie, and fit to transport a number of Planters, and men to work in mines, and well skilled in the extractions off minerals: The vessels must not draw above 9 or 10. fotre water.  
The Planters must be rationals, and not be accompanied neither with Dames that cannot live without coddlings, and rose Water, nor without to see a Cock end a Bear by thing, nor with Holland Idolatrous mad women, that cannot live without scouring, robbing, and washing on the Sabath day, nor expect trim in pranking houses, with a fect of Porcelyns; But good Husiffs, that will puft their hands to the Planting off good Sugar reeds; at the least be as God maid them for, faithful helping hands to their husbonds in the survaying off his workmen, and Slaves:  
Thy must be persons known in their Parishes to have a good repute off a temper to live according unto the Laws off God and men. for that otherways it is inpossible to make any good establissement/ especially in an unhabitted part off the World/ when boisterous men shall turn more wild than the Savages: and (at the Damnable Example of others) harbour but murdering thoughts/ as experience speaks but to many have done; and Especially those of Tabago know, those of other parts can tell, and those of Cajana can relate, that the chief Commandors have been murdered, some in their Cabin, some in the woods, some headlong thrown in the Sea; by a rebellious generation as that of Vijpars' yeast Europians/ forsooth.  
In Equipage (well manned and well provided) may take for the fittest time of departure the beginning of the month of march/ or the latter end of it/ att furthist) to arrive (in fit season) on the coast of America after the rainy months may be past/ which commonly is at the end off may.  
The Equipagie must be a companyed with a bark built at the Bragantyne fashion: forty footelong/ thirteen foot wide/ and covered/ a convenient Cabin a last/ the bark drawing but 3 or 4 foot water/ to serve on the Rivers/ and may be provydes with two brass pieces of ordinance/ the said Bark must be put to gether either at the Eyland S. Vincent, or at Cajana.  
The provisions of Pease/ Beanes/ and other grains/ or Seeds/ must be fresh/ and not off a year old.  
The main provisions must be good Beef, Pork, dried fisch, Cheese, Pease, Beanes, Oatmeel, Barley, Meel hard pressed in dry fats, Rys, Store off Oil, store of strong water.  
For the Cabin Vinnigar, whit win forsicke perstons, Butter, dried Salmon, Gammon off Bacon, Oeates, Neat's, Tongues, Pickled Sturgen, roasted mutton, and Hens, Laid in Butter, put in great stone pots, and in barrels, the sides (on the out side of the pots) filled with bay Salt, salted Concombers, turkey beans, green broume Capers, salt Lemons, salted Cabus, preserved Gingember, spices, Prunes, Reasins: All kind of Routs, Seeds, and Plants, Soap Wax and tallow candles, Oil for Lamps, etc.  
As for commodities to traffic with the Inhabitants/ Storre off course Linen, made Shirts, woln wascots, and drawers, Felt hots, grey and blacs, Shoes, and all kind off Sarges for the Eylanders.  
But for the Inhabitants off the firm Land Store off Iron Axes, Hatchets, Knyfs, with whit bone handles, figured, strong great and middle size Hoecks, and Harpoens, Sizars, Razers, off small price, as the Knyffs not exceeding three pence, or a groathe; Beads off all colours, and off an equal size: No toys off whistles, and locking glasses, save to give away.  
As for necessaries to Planters/ Sugar Mills, with their appartainances, Kettles, Basins, Leadels, and for disteeling off strong waters, (which are as the main preservatifs) and without which no work to be performed in the hit parts.  
Their must be likewise Iron plates for the baking off Casavy, Iron tools for cleansing off the grounds, wheel-borrowes, Shwells, Spades, Pickakes, Bricks, to make Hovens, Pan-tyles, Board's, nails, Bolts, Hinges, Locks, Tents.  
And for defence against foreign Invasion/ Muskets, fire Locks, halft Pijckes, and Rapiers, wit Powder shot and match.  
Birding pieces/ for huntsmen/ and nets for fishing: Some mastis and spannialls for hunting.  
For the purging off Minerals all necessary tools, as likewijse engredients, materials, and Sea coals, for the furnayses; scailes, greathe and small, to way: Paper, Pens, Ink, Sealing wafers and hard wax.  

1. All Planters their perssons, wyffs, children, and servants, with their household stuff, to be transported free, paying only nine pence a day for their food, to be bated out off the fruits which thy shall guessed out off the ground,  
2. The said Planters to be (on the same condition) provided by the Patrons off the Colony for the time off eight month, until the grounds shall have produced a groat off the Seeds which the Planters shall have throone theein.  
3. As much Land allotted unto Planters as thy shallbe able to mannueer; and whereof thy fall afterwarts dispose by will, deed, or Contract, as off there one.  
4. All Planters shallbe free off taxations, duties, and all kind off rights, for the time off ten years, and afterwarts pay the tenth.  
5. Iff thy discover Ours off Gold, Silver, Crystal, precious Stones, Marble, Salpeter Fisshing of Pearls, or Coral thy shall enjoy them freely, save that after the end of five years thy shall pay the tenth.  
6. Thy shall have liberty to fish, to hunt, and to cut done wood for building, and fyring, but not re cust precious wood.  
7. Thy shall have as many Slaves as thy will for fiftheen pound a piece, and pay them out off the fruit and Production off the Lands allotted unto them.  
8. All men shall enjoy Liberty off Conscience, so thy Live according unto the known Laws off God, and men, and therefore their shallbe, good Divines, preaching found Doctrine, A judicious body of Council; physicians, and Serugiens for the body, chets well provided with medecinall, and Surgery drugs, and Ingredients. a trumpeter to call the people to assemble/ and for other necessary Warnings.   
Finally/ it willbe very easy for Patrons of such a Plantation to Judge that thy may do good profits for their disbursement on such a dessyne in the a foresaid hot parts of America, and that thy will have great reason to prefer them before other ordinary ways to profit by/ since thy well know what small rents Lands do yield/ to what Love an Ebb traffic is in this age/ and how by reason of the great number off men (who profess a trade) every trade's man is almost reduced to a kind of Slavery/ for that men must work from break of day until late in the night/ as cohabitants in streets where hard trades are practised can witness the same/ and are early and late a wakened by the noise/ when as all Patrons of Plantations may in the aforesaid hot parts of America from Lands which thy need not to buy/ nor to fight for (but only settle people on them as thy are of a vast extent) make their revenue the greater/ and by the worth of what thy will produce get more than the treble/ nay the quadruple cent per Cent for the stock thy shall puft forth.  
Therefore at it is a providence to Employ a stock of money on several things (as to put merchandises in different Vessels) So lords/ gentlemans/ merchant's and others may found it to be good husbandry to bestow some part of what thy can lay aside to the trial of this most apparent good/ and think that a brace of hundred pounds less spent in sports/ feast/ and other unnecessaryes (as Tulips and Tockell Schells) would incensibly serve for this well promising dessyn/ and answer the prudence beseeming good Commenwealths men/ and the care of Fathers of families/ to leave an incessant growing benefit for their posterity/ more then by other expedients thy can promise to themselves; As likewise not only to increase traffic to the people which hath settled itself on the Charibdes Eylands but to become a support and main defence to them/ against Powers) who (as the Portugises envaded Brazill) might in time set upon them/ and depryve them of all the expectation of their many years' endeaviours.  
FINIS.   


ADVERTISSEMENT For men inclined to PLANTASIONS IN AMERICA.  
At ROTTERDAM, Printed by Henry Goddaeus, Book Printer at the red Bridge/ In the Book Printing. ANNO 1660.   

ADVERTISSEMENT.  
AS men who do resolve to leave their natural Country to apply themselves to Plantations must have for their main Scope either the public or their particular interest/ which thy must promote by right and most convenient means/ without which it otherways would be impossible to compass the same.  
So men whom do leave a could Country transporting themselves far from thence/ to plant in as could a clime into another part of the World (as that wherein thy were borne and bred) cannott Improve themselves by Plantations/ as thy might well in a more hit region/ where the ground yields frinte and grothe all the year long/ according as credible travellers do report; and as thy prove how much the greater profits can be made on the Charibdis' Eyslands (as Tobago Granada/ Mardeloupe. S. Eustache/ Lucy/ Martinique/ Christoffers/ and Barbados/ etc. (seated under a warm degree) then in Virginia/ Eskeve/ Niew Engeland/ etc. So it is most certain that the firm Land on the coast of America (from One until 9 and ten degrees by Nord the line) is to be preferred before the Eylands; for as that coast is not subject to Hieracans/ (as the Eylands are) it is most fruitful/ and hath many convenient Divers for Plantations; and in several parts inhabitants (though very fiew in number) of very good natuere  
By the late Surwey which hath been made of the coast of America/ experience tells that from one until 9 and ten degrees by Nord the Line/ their are Lands where on store of People could be settled/ and that the grounds are most fit for Sugar/ Tobacco/ Indigo/ Cotton/ and all Seeds of Fruits soever/ Store of wild Boars Deer and Rabits to be had their; as all kind of good fowls/ the Seas and Rivers abounding in store of great/ fat/ and wholesome fish/ besides an infinite number of Tortuses/ which is a wholesome food; as likewise Sea-kowes/ which the natifs (called the wild) are willing to take/ and do serve for those that will either transport the same to the Eylands or feed on them; as thy may be had for so small a thing as is almost incredible to wit a Cortlis (where on 20 men may plenteously feed a whole day/ for an Irron hatchet/ and 2 pennyworth off glass beads; The Sea-kow (weighing four a five hundred pound) for a couple off Axes/ and one hatchet/ with some small beads; twinty ● thirty pots of drink (called Pernaw as good as any bear) for one knijf with a wihtt bone handle/ worth two pence and halve/ wild dear/ fish/ fruit/ and foul according unto that rat; So as besides the feeding there with number of men their can be a very profitable trade settled/ and driven with the aforesaid Sea-Cowes/ and Tortuses; thy being salted/ and transported to the England's/ where for one pound of that salted fish two a three pound of Tobaco may behad; and as for a Hamoc (which costs butt one hatchet worth two schillings) twenty schillings man be gotten.  
And as the Lands on the main continent are more fruitful than the Eylands and wholesome/ so are thy of a large extent; and do bear in certain parts costly woods for divers works/ and dying/ all kind off excellent gums/ as Lemnae; Balms/ Rocoux (which is a Scharlat die) and other colours/ Armadac/ Senniment-Clove/ nutmeg/ and Mace/ as their is Honey as clear as Crystal/ and aware; So is their most certainly mines of Silver/ and Gold/ where of proofs have been made/ and certain cheefs of the Charibdiens have shuen several patterns/ as also off several woods/ Colours/ gums/ and other hangs off worth to be had their/ some off these natiffs also knowing in what parts and in what Rivers precious/ Stones are to be found/ as likwyse with what nations Must be treated for the same/ so men will (and can) live without giving offence on the subject of their Wives and Daughters.  
The several parts which can be inhabited by Planters and that are free (nor needing armed men to take pocession off them) have good Rivers/ some large Bays/ affording number of Sea-kowes; so their Strands Store of Tortuses.  
Those who would plant on Rivers which end with water falls must have small flat bottom boats/ as Indian Canoes; to hail them from one water fall to the next River over Land/ to get up deep into the main Land; carry allong store of victuals/ and drink/ of Strange water/ fear the want there off make them lose their labour/ and hopfull expectation; as happened to several french and others/ who did seek for el Dorado/ and Manva/ and said to have come shortt butt one day's Journey of Hills that prommissed wonder full Tresors; Not to be sauht in an imaginary region/ butt to be found on that continet by Perssons who are suffered to apply their best Endeaviours to the same/ and whoe are not Traitorously (and murdorously) used as Sir Balthasar Gerbeer hath been in the year 1660. on the 7. day off May/ when after his arrival on the aforesaid Coast of America/ and that he had gained on the affections off certain chief of the Charybdis (who brought unto him several patterns of the things before mentioned/ and as wyett in his pocession; contracted frenshipp with him by their grab Tye of Ponnary) was by Trusty's (send along from Holland) not only set upon/ butt alsoo the perssons off his Wyff and Daughters; those unnatural men (worse than Heathens pocest with evil Spirits) their horrid dessyne being as then to murder an Innocent harmless family/ to the end that their might not remain one a life of the family who could pretend right in those parts/ in consequence off a grant which the said Sir Balthasar Gerber (in a time that his Majesty of great Bittane nor none of his party was in casse to countenance a Plantation in that part off the World where off the late Duke of Buckingham during his being at Madrid in the year 1623. got Notice.) had received from the Lords Estates general of the united Provinces/ and from the West Indian Compagny.  
To which bloody dessyne (of the murderers which cost the life off one off the said Sir Balthasar Gerbeers Daughters to wit Catharin, the said murderers trusties were (as hath been since discovered) secretly instructed/ by a particular ringleder (even from the beginning of the voyage from Holland) to set upon the Proprietary/ as the main grand scope of men who would betray their own father's/ and brother's/ to attain to the Mammon of the World.  
Truth having manifested the same on this particular casse/ and that thy made no scruple to exercisse any open Violence/ which thy were not ashamed to put in practice by hailing Sir Balthasar Gerbeer (and the remnant of his family) violently from the aforesaid Coast/ to the end the abetters off the prime Trusty might remain as independents/ and send to the place a broede off their own Tribe; and therefore commended highly that prime thrustie for his doings; Necessity to preserve their interest it so requiring (said they) and being not as hamed to argue that their said Interest had been in great dangiour in casse Sir Balthasar Gerbeer should have knouwnen that the king off great Brittanne was restorred to his right/ for that ten he would have advertised the English nation (the best off all others aquanited with Plantations) off the good which was to be done on the Coast of America/ and how thy might have enlarged the Colony of the English at Sarenamme.  
And therefore (say they) their prime thrusty to have deserved great applause for all the violence committed against Sir Balthasar Gerbers' persson; and they to have had great causse to drive him to a non plus/ after his return to Amsterdam; hinder him (iff possibly thy could) from departing from Holland; to remaayne in pocession of his papers/ Original Evidences against the murderers; and producing any witnesses against them/ finally to remain master of his grants/ and ●●troys/ which thy forced from him by an outrageous apprehension of his persson with violation off their contracts; and yet pretending that the infraction of them and the injurious proceeding against the said Sir Balthasar Gerbers' persson was without knowledge off the whole association/ and only hammered by two or three off their members/ in number above thirty two/ and pretending (as these two or three at the most said) only to satisfy their particular curiosity with the view off his papers/ and off the grants/ Swearing and vouwing that none off all those off the Company had the least thought off the World ever any more to look after Gould nor Silver on the American coast/ nor to send theither/ when as to the contrary/ thy being no soever in pocession off all Sir Balthasar Gerbers Evidences (nay of papers which did not concern that dessyne and as yet by them shame fully and unjustly detained) Butt thy immediately caused the ship called the Ecudracht to be prepared/ and retained as many of the men as might fit their turn/ which thy have appointed to return to the place from whence Sir Balthasar Gerber and his family was so violently hailed; and have ordered their said brood to spend a year or two in a general Search throughout all those Territories/ for all what is to be gotten their.  
But how such men so unjustly proceeding may speed God (whose arm reatcheth further than the ends off this visible World) knoweth; and time will Manifest/ As this may serve to althose that are curious to know sommarily the truth of this casse; and to understand on what conditions which might engage on such a good dessyne/ and houw Planters may inprove themselves in those parts; as namely. All Planters may pocesse gratis in propriety so much Land as they can mannuer, with an entire freedom to dispose thereof, either by will, deed, Covenant or Contract, all Planters be free off Customs, rights, or duties, during the thime of ten years; have slaves for fifthien pound a piece, pay them either in ready monny or with the commodities off thire own plantations, taking the time of five years for the same. Freely enjoy all such mines off Salpeter, Irron, Copper, Silver, Gould, Crystal, Precious, Stonnes; Marble, as Planters may find within their allotted Lands; paying for them after the five years a certain duty often in the hundred, fisshing, hunting, and cutting off wood for building and fire free; and enjoy liberty off Conscience: be transported to the place within the time off two months, the winds being prosperous, and make choisse off their habitations, either near the Bays or Rivers where the Sea-Cowes are in great abundance, or lower, towards Cap Orannie; or in the River Wi●poca, wherein ships (drawing deep ten foot water) may well ride at an A●ker, as in that off Apperwake (4 degrees by North the Line) for that the said River off Appear, wake is in its entrance (at half Ebb) fourtein foot deep, and hath 3. 4. and 5. fathoms wator until 14. dutch leagues up the River; 50. hath the River on the east side in the River Apperwake, and good Lands, some 6 or 7 mysles high: WIA between 4 and 5 degrees (and siding on the Eyland Cajany) a goodly River, Wherein Ships (that draw 12 foot) may enter and ride safely; and is deep 4. 5. a 6 fathoms. the Land (two mysles from the Sea) a most fruitful Soill; so is Cunanama and Tamary by Nord Cajany, towards Sarenamme.  
What profits such Planters (that have somewhat to bestow on ears/ hatchets/ glass beads/ and course Linen for the inhabitans/ to wit/ certain Charibdiens who frequent those Rivers with their Canoes) may do is plainly expressed in this Advertissement.  
Wat profit a company may do (without to great charges) is lykwijse demonstrated/ for as a quantity, off Salt taken from the Eylands may serve to salt Sea-Cowes, and Tortuses, to send to the Charribdis Eylands; as likweyse a Chargarsoen off Beeff, Porc; Oil, Sac. strong waters, stuffs, and Linen Coers and other. will quit all the charges for the transportation, and settling off the Planters. so the setting men at work on the mykes/ gathering of all things off profit/ and making sarch through those parts/ according unto the contents off this advertissement/ and the secret information which the author had long sincs/ which as he intent it for the public good/ so may all men (desirous to improve themselves that way) be further satisfied on what their Interests may require concerning the same; by making their addresses unto him.  
And See by the following Lines/ what just cause the author hath had (making mention of the perfidious proceeding of men against his persson and family) to point so particularly (as he doth) at some off them/ since thy have been so maliciously Inpudent as to vent a woreld off false hoods concerning his proceeding/ and to expound the best care he could apply for the furthering off the dessyne in an ill perversse and horridde sense; their trusties having been so abominabel wicked as to pocesse all the People (that was inbarckt at Vessel) that his dessyne was to epose them all to a bouchery off other nations in Europe. by cause he on the occasion off a crack which the main mast of the prime Ship had gotten on the height of Hitland) consulted the Captain off the Ship where another mast could be had/ where on the Captain replied England/ which the perfidious Trusty's made use of as to argue the same to have been a plot to run with all the Equipage into England and that after his arrival at the Eyland Cajana 5. degrees bynord the Line (where one Jan Klaessen Langendijck. One of the Westdian Companies Officer their received the author's family/ and lodged the same during a necessary time off refreshment when Denis Bringor (here to fore Captain off a French Shipp butt now a Planter on Cajana; did speak with Sir Balthasar Gerber, as likewise one captain Tillet did/ where on (though the said perssons their conversation/ with Sir Balthasar Gerber, tended butt to advertise him of advantages to be made in those parts/ yet The blood thirsty disguised the more their resolved ficious thereon/ and traitorously abused even off the Lords States General by framing an act off arrest of the persson of Sir Balthasar Gerber, wherein thy alleged/ that thy where authorised to proceed as thy did/ and that by the said Lord States Order; and having in that manner surprised the capacity off Soldiers (which thy had made drunk with strange Water's/ and provided with arms and Shott) Led them on the 7 of May the year 1660 (when the Commander Langendyck was not in his Fort) to break in his House/ as thy did about dinner time; set upon the said Sir Balthasar Gerbers famully/ and after thy had 〈◊〉 to kill Deborah his Youngest Daughter/ shot Catharina) who departed this World that night/ sho●t Marry her Sister through her right Leg/ and set a pistol on the head off Sir Balthasar, butt failed/ yet would have dispatched him and the remnant off his family had the Murderers not been prevented by the Inhabitants off Cajany; and by the return off the Commander Langendyke, who put some off the murderers in the Irrons; save one Rijnier van Buren who did act his Traitorous act so (according unto the secret instructions which he pretended to have had before the departure off the Equipage from Terrill) as to gain the masters off the Ships/ and the Seamen to hoyle Sir Balthasar Gerber and his family on board/ to work outt that dessijne where by his abetters would strip the proprietary as aforesaid of his right; which being matter off fact/ hath been (by witnesses examined upon Interrogatoires) declared upon oath/ before the Magistrate off Amsterdam/ as appeared by their declaration and their City Scale their unto applied; In conclusion it may be said that who hath had to do with such a broad may allege the words.
