certain INDUCEMENTS To well minded PEOPLE, Who are here straitned in their Estates or otherwise: or such as are willing out of Noble and public Principles, to tran port themselves, or servants, or Agents for them into the West-Indies, for the propagating the gospel, and increase of Trade. THere seems to be a great Gate opened to the Gospells entrance upon the Indians, a great part of them being already reduced to Civil Government, and co-habitation, to live it callings to speak Spanish( which is a Language very easy to be learned) and some to writing and reading; yea, the wilde● Indians upon the southern Main, have been found to be very open to conviction in their Religion, and others( yea, even hundreds) have earnestly desired to live somewhere under the English Government, paying Tribute, and would desirously learn their religion: as being resolved the Spaniards Religion cannot be good, the professors thereof are of so evil conversation, they generally ●ove the Engl sh, and some are proud to have the English names put upon them; they have some remaining knowledge of the creation of man, and of a great Flood; they abhor liars and Adulterers. easy accommodation for Houses, for in some parts there are some ready built; and where there be none, a great number may be in few days fitted for their present abode; for there is no such rigour of weather to force such exact providing of Houses; but the matter of Fortification, Food, and Commodity may precede better and more beautiful buildings: there are Leaves of a fath●me broad and as much in length, which will suffice to close the walls and roofs, and these will last many yeares: but when it is reasonable to build fairer houses, there is good Timber for them, as Pine, Cedar, oak( some bearing acorns), Locusts, Ash, Mangroves, Manchen●e●e; and the work of bui●ding may in all reason be far cheaper there, where the workman is not burdened with Rents and provision as in England. There may be a speedy and abundant supply of food: speed of supply appeareth by the times and kinds of supply. English grain will grow well, and yield a pure Flower; Indian corn yields a crop in three moneths; Pea●e in two, Potatoes in five, Pompions in three, Cassavia in six, Plantanes in ten, and Angoala Pease in five moneths( these grow on a three, and for three yeares or more have little intermission of bearing) Plantanes continue to bear well four yeares without any int●rmission; there are other roots good, as Illiamus and Dishway, which will keep in the house most part of the year in stores: these things for fruits. The ●and hath likewise Hogs, Deere, rabbits, ●uianaes, Armadilla●s, Westcotoones: Turtle, Tilboa, and where the Spaniard hath been, or is, there are Goates sheep, also Horses, Assenecoes for service, and Cowes for food, and that very good and plentiful. In the Rivers of water, and on the Sea coasts there are store of various and choice Fishes very good for food, and delicate, as Pike, Breame, Hogsish, Rockfish, Snappers, Gropers, Porgies, Megsish, Pariotfish, Grunts, Angellfish, Blew coats, Velvetcoates, Morrage, Cunnyfish, Lobsters, Stingrais, Horseis, Gevallees, Pilchers, Ambrefish, and Oysters; also Turtle of divors sorts, Manatee and divers other sorts. In the air is great diversity of Fowles, Ducks of several sorts, Wildgeese, pigeon, parrot, Mackow, Turtle doves, Goaling, Curlews, Passo, Flemingo, hernia, peacock, Cossooes, Cohooes, Turkeyes, cocks and hens, Black birds, and divers other sorts both small and great very plentiful. The abundance of supply, appeareth not only in what hath been said, but farther in proportion of increase; one grain of Indian corn yields a stalk, and each stalk yields two faire ears( besides smaller) each ear containing about six hundred grains, some eight hundred; so that you see the fruitful Land yields above a thousand fold: fourteen hundred ears, yea sometimes a thousand fills a hogshead with grain, and that is eight bushels: so that sixty four bushels, are commonly produced by one Acre at one crop, and on the same ground you may have three crops of corn in the same year, if not four, and this corn makes far better Bread then what hath been usually of that in New-England and Virginia; and indeed it may be made as good as our bread heer in England, and will make very good beer, and so will honey likewise of which there is great store: Pease planted in an Acre which three quarts will do, arise in one crop to three hogsheads, sometimes to five, though they do not grow at all times of the year alike; yet there may be three crops of pease in one year; there are divers sorts of pease, and o divers colours, as read, white, black, and gray, some of them as good, or rather better then the best in England. potatoes yield an exceeding increase, and are very delicious for mens eating, being farremore pleasing to the palate, and wholesome to the stomach there, where they eat them fresh out of the ground, then they are here, when they are brought over; and the reason is, because they are commonly two or three moneths old before they bee eaten; and if there they are kept but six dayes after they are out of the ground, they are esteemed fit only for the hogs: Potatoes are also extraordinary useful for divers sorts of cattle in the roots, or slipes, upon which, and the general food of the country usually given to Hogs, doth yield the taste of the pork much more sweet and pleas ng then ours in England, and indeed is as palatsome and nourishing as Mutton hear. Plantanes in four acres will in its kind, serve a Family of twenty persons, both for meat and drink; which drink is pleasant, quick, nourishing, strong, and likesome Wines; Plantanes are a very excellent frvte whereof use moy bee made in sixteen or eighteen several dishes of different taste, yet every one pleasant to the palate, wholesome to the stomach, hearty and very nourishing to the body; they do make good bread puddings, ta●ts: and yield a fine flower for pancakes. Cassavia is the root of a three which is a very good and hearty food, roasted in the sire stewed, baked, or boiled, it yields likewise a very pure flower, which makes bread to victuoll Ships, that will keep for ships store some yeares, and continue very good. G●yanaes, Armadillaes, and Westcotoones are of severa●l shapes, but in their eating somewhat taste like, but m ch better then a rabbit. There are also ●everall other sorts of Creatures good for food( not ●pecified) of s●ch like kinds. The Turtle of the Land is a Bea●t; very good, wholesome, and pleasant flesh for meat; of which there is rea onable store. Tilboa is a Creature, the flesh whereof eateth like beef, and is almost as big as an ox; these about the Sea cost are somewhat rare but up in the Country by Indian and some English relations, much more plentiful. As for Fish, it would betoo tedious to relate the nature and quality of every particular sort; we shall only make a true relation of some of the cheife●t. The Hog-fish is much better then our Salmon, and is in taste exceeding pleasant, it is a lbroad read fish, and about the bigness of an ordinary Sa mon; from which fish being roasted, a pint of pure fat hath dropped, which fat is good for divers uses to dress victuals. Rockfish is of several sizes, ordinarily as big as a Codfish, and some are much bigger, and is better then a Codfish. Snappers are about the bigness of a Salmon, and are as good as the Hogfish. Gropers are about the size of a Codfish, and as good and rather better. Porgies are in goodness near to that of the Hogfish but not above half so big. Me●fish is as big as the Porgie, and not much inferior to it in goodness. Of the Sea Turtle fish, very much may be spoken, in point of its goodness; it is a Creature living in the Sea,& feeding upon the grass growing in the bottom of the Sea, whereof there is plenty, the flesh of this creature is very good, and eats much like veal; this meat out of a hidden quality, is very medicinal for the cure of the Diesases of the Dropsy and Fluxes, into which some falls though seldom; and gently purgeth their bodies thoroughly, and worketh a perfect cure; the flesh thereof may very well be eaten without bread, and is marvellous nourishing, and very desirable, it yields good store of oil, which is so inoffensive, that half a pint may be drunk at a draft; it is in colour yellow, and in goodness to be used as butter, being but little or not at all inferior to it: it is also very sovereign being composed with other things into a salue, for any green wounds, or old sores as by experience hath appeared: some of these Fishes in spawning time, will lay two or three hundred eggs, which eggs are about the bigness of a Hens egg, and are good to be eaten; this Fish is very plentiful, so that some have taken forty at a fishing, and sometime more, and of such large sizes, that some one of them will serve fifty men at a meal; the flesh hereof is ordinarily powdered up in hogsheads for Ships provision; many other are the rare qualities of this Fish( if it may be called a Fish, for it is ineed rather Flesh)& of these Turtles there are several sorts; as green Turtle, haukes-bill Turtle( of which is the shell for Combs) Logger haads, trunk Turtle, Lady Turtle, some better, some worse, but all good for food and the best is most plentiful. Manatee is likewise a creature living in the Sea,& might well be termed a Sea Cow, for the taste thereof is like beef,& is very good,& taketh salt likewise; this Creature hath a ston which is a very sovereign remedy for the ston in the bladder,& very helpful to women in travel, as hath often been proved; as also against the Cramp, for which particulars there are likewise many other things, as Sharkes stones, Crabs stones, and many other medicines from several sensibles and vegetables, for the diseases there, and also for the diseases ●aigning in other parts, of which good use may be made. Sufficient provision for clothing; in two or three yerres; for Cotton-seed being planted, yields in four or five moneths, and of this divers Kindes of linen clothing, both inward and outward, may be made, as also stockings and gloves. Besides, there is a silke-grasse, which grows naturally, and may be cut once a year; this by the Indians is easily fitted to ma●e cordage, and to be spun in to a fine thread, very good to make s●uffes, which que●tionlesse would be very fine and rich i● being in its nature and colour much like raw salke. The bodies of plantain trees, and leaves of Pine-apple-trees, do also yield a fine thread. Sheep Prosper well there, and silkewormes are likely to do so? yet wear it better to have occasion to fetch silk from the neighbouring East-India, as the Spaniards use to do. Hides are easily in three or four moneths tanned, to make Leather for shoes and ●oots there is matter likewise to make hats Of commodities there are in being, indigo; Cocheneale, Annottoe, balsam, Sugar-canes, Ginger, Silke-grasse, Silke-cotton, and other Cotton, Sarsaperilla, and other drugs: Bees wax, Dete( which is an excellent perfume, growing naturally, and there is some Probability it would bee much better being transplanted divers sorts of Dying woods, also tar, Pitch, Tallow Hides, besides Mines of Silver and Gold, there is also Copper& Iorn it is supposed likewise that many of the East-Ind●a commodities will grow thore, and so would Vines for Wines and Olives far oil in that soil and climb, as the like exPerience shows, and the prohibition of the King of spain witnesseth: Also there are Pearls,& some Spices; yea there is a bark of a three, which is white, that seemeth a compound of all Spices The comfort of Fruit, which are so refined by the sun and wholesome, that they infect not the body though eaten in abundance. There is most delightful garden ng, and mo●e easy then in could places. The ●orts of fruits be●●des Plantaines, are Pine-apples( which is a fruit for delicacy, delicious, sweet and pleasing taste, to be admired, and the scent thereof very odiferous and pleasing to the sense; it is accounted one of the primest fruits in the wh●le world) Orranges, lemons, limbs, Pome-cit●ons, figs, Pome-granates, Coco-Nuts, Supporters, ●uava's, yellow Plums, Mameele; Cu●ard-fruit, Wat●r-Mi● jons( a fruit as b●g●e as a Pompion here, which ye I less ab u●● qu●rt, some a pottle of very pleasant liquour, ●●d v●ry g odd against the ston colic and ston in the Fl●dd ●,) Mus●-mil●ions, a kind of che ries with three stone ●, Prickle-p ares, and Pingui●es, all th se very good, the t ees ●ls● a●wais green and pleasant to behold. The m de ation of necessary ch●rge, and pains of Rai es and Pa es is avoided; for Lime-trees fence better then any quick-●et in England, any easy hand of woman or lad can plant them, and they grow up and bear in two yeares. Three men will cut down the woods, and sit an A●re of ground in eight daies to be planted, afterward the ground being kept clean, is always upon a shower of r ine ready to be pl●nted, and one man may plant an Acre of corn in a day: so also Plantaines and Pease; and in two daies a m●n may plant an acre of Potatoes: corn and Potatoes need weeding once a fortnight, and an Acre may be weeded by one man in two houres. Plantaines after once planting, n●ed little pains in husbandry, only sometimes supe●aboundant suckers taken away. The Land needs noe dung, nor any fallow years; The Indian corn needs no ploughing nor harrowing: the labour for providing hay and other ●odder for winter is needless, the grass being always green, so that i● is easy to keep great droves of cattle: One man by labour can provide for twenty men; The I dians are also apt to labour; and will be helpful in making cordage, also in building and Smiths work, so likewi●e in Fishing by these particulars, and the former, it may be perciued how a godly people may be enabled in the West Indies to be more liberal to God in public and domestic duties which leisure seems to be contrived by providence in these benign partes to bring in the●e Gentiles, to which every pious family will conduce something: also a people of large hearts may be there more free to each other, in acts of Hospitality, courtesy relief, and commerce, neither shall they be nece●sitated by covetousness, or rigid dealing, to occasion Reproach, under which some are here, to the grife of others and themselves: Also precious souls settled in these prte shall be exemted from the d ugery, which they are put to in England, and other places; so that as their names may be freed from reproach, their bodies may be freed from moiling, so their hearts from a great deal of care; yea, though they have many Servants and Children to keep, they are not burdensome, but helpfu l; neither do heat or could procure any impeachment to the labour or bopy, or study of mind The healthfullnesse of the Climate: There is no Itch, Scab, Di tillation by the n●●se nor Cough nor Li●●, upon the body, nor small pox, Mea●els, Consumption, Gout, Pal●●e, or any plethoriqu● diseases are seldom or never found there And farther, all the relations in this book have biene made and are, Confirmed by several well known men of trust and quality.( to very many in this city) who have lived there many years some Six some Eight some Twelve years some more some less. which said Inhabitants have not only made this report, but do Evidence the truth by their personal returning with the last f●eet in the year 1644 judging of it the most comfortable Place that ever they lived in notwithstanding some of them have been Travellers in other Countries with great Observation, The truth of what is said, Concerning the goodness of this country is further manifest( both by marchants from several Parts of this kingdom, and Holland, who have a constant Trade with the English there Plante●, both yearly and several times in the year, by which th●y have gained great estates. And those ma●ters& Servants w●ich have though meanly been transported thither have much enriched themselves by their plantations. And also divers of new England who have transplanted themselves into these parts, and thus reported to their friends living in London which formerly lived by them in new England, That if god had planted them in the west Indies when they w●nt first to new England they had b●●n one of the flourishing Commonwealths in the world, by all which it doth apeere that th●se Parts a●e most desirable for habitation and comfort b● subsistence bes●des the Earnest des and that all good Chri● ians Ought to have in fulf●lling the will and Command, of their Lord and master Christ ●e●us, in the propagation of the gospel, to poor Indians who are in da● nes, and o ●uch the mo e in regard these poor people desire the English to Inhabit with them, The division or allotment of Lands in the first year is to be as followeth, to be all Freehold land to all the persons hereafter mentioned, and their heires and assigns for ever hereafter, 1. All that shall land at first, and within the first twelve monthes after the first arrival, are to have six acres for every head or person within four miles of the towns circumference, and sixty acres an head in some other place: and Servants are to have the like quantity when they come out of their times. 2 All that shall land between the first twelve moneths and the end of the next six moneths, are to have four acres an head within four miles of the towns circumference, and 30 acres an head in some other place, and servants are to have the like quantityes when they come out of their times. Moreover, unto every Master or Family there shall be allotted a ce●●aine portion of ground in the town for building of houses and for gardens, &c,& also to every servant when they come out of their times. 3 For encouragement to well affencted persons to contribute moneys for a public stock; it is agreed, that he that puts into the said public stock one hundred pounds, shall have for it five hundred Acres of Land, and his money paid him back again in convenient time out of the public profit and revenue, and so Proportionable for every sum under or above one hundred pounds: and that every man not going in person shall notwithstanding if he adventer any sum of money, have the like privileges: and likewise every man not going in peoson, but sending servants, shall have the like privilege for the said servants as if he went in person, and his servants at the expiration of the time of their service, demand and Reeive as their due the proportion of land above specified. OBJECTIONS ANSWERED. Made by some who know not those parts SOme will say, they think the heat of the Country i● intolerable, it being always Summer. This is fully answered by Experience. There are some hundreds here in London, who besides the many thousands of our Country men there( that have had opportunity of returning hither again had they desired it) bear witness to the contrary; the one resolving to end their daies there; the other that are heer, generally desiring nothing more, then to return to those parts again, as the only sweet Climate, affording all comfortable means of livelihood, beyond any other Latitude known to them in the whole world: besides, the temperatenesse of the Climate is cleared, not only by experience as aforesaid, but by Reason itself, for the cool air rising and increasing with the rising and strength of the sun, which cools and qualifies the otherwise extraordinary heat. again, the nights are long, the sun setting twelve houres, and the sun being directly under the Earth, the air and Earth is much cooled thereby. And lastly, the grass being always green, plainly demonstrates that there is no such parching heat as is conceived, and wee know to be in other Countreys. Some will say the heat and plenty in those parte are enemies to Procreation. The Spaniards who may be reckoned among the most luxurious livers in the world, do confute this opinion; for they have not only plenty of children begotten in wedlock, but also numerous multitudes of a mixed generttion, which they beget on Negroes and Indian woh men; the first called Molattoes, the other Mesieeces, of both which there are multitudes: and many English women have two children at one birth All which considered and laid in the balance with the present sad and suffering( and not easily reparable) condition of many thowsands here, who either by the plundering and utter ruin of their Estates by the cruelty of the cavaliers, or through the decay of trading, made now so unable to afford that help to the state, in relieving and supplying others, that they are not able to subsist themselves; and must suddenly( without little less then a miracle) prove very great burdens to others, as already they are to themselves, and whenas so comfortable, yea plentiful conditions of living and providing for their Families, invite them to these more propitions and abounding parts of the World it seems not only folly in multitudes of men, that think there is noe living out of the smoke of their own attorneys( that hardly afford any) but cruelty to themselves and theirs, to welter and languish in a sordid condition here at home, that might so plentifully provide for themselves and theirs; but ill affection to the state, which they may serve there and must over-burthen heer. And lastly it is most of all ingratitude to the rich bounty and goodness of the Creator, that they are so far from making use thereof, that they abhor the thoughts of going to see his wonders in the Deep, and the deep treasures of his wonderful riches in those Paradises of the Earth, reserved( as it seems) as a special part of the recompense of the straightness of his own people in those more glorious then is yet credited in other parts of the World. acorns were and are thought good food, where bread is not known, but there is not that disproportion between Bread and acorns, that indeed there is between those t●d these parts, the inclemency and barrenness of these parts, put in comparison with the fertility and nature-cherishing sweetness; affording scarce any degree of Comparison. Besides if some good though poor people were intermixed with the many thowsands of our own countrymen already planted in the West India, they might impart spiritual riches and treasures unto them; in participation of there temporals, and be both mad not only happy thereby themselves, but communicate much of the riches of those plentiful parts to the●e( that are made indigent and wanting of them) both for their comfortable refreshment here,& maintaining a great trade with other Nations.
