Of which charge, the Aduenturer having the greatest part of it in provision & goods; in case any seruant die by the way, or shortly after his comming thither, the goods of that seruant being sold in the Countrey, will returne all his charge againe, with aduantage.

A Computation of a seruants labour, and the profit that may arise by it, by instance in some particulars, which may be put in pra∣ctise the first yeere.

	l.	s.	d.
One man may at the season plant so much corne, as ordinarily yeelds of Wheate 100. bush∣els, worth upon the place, at Two shillings a Bushell.	10	0	0
Of Beanes and Pease, 20. bush∣els, worth at three shillings a bushell.	3	0	0
The same man will plant of To∣bacco, betweene 800. and a 1000. weight, which at the lowest rate, at two pound 10. shil. the hundred, is worth,	20	0	0
The same man may within the same yere, in the winter, make 4000. of Pipe-staves, worth upon the place foure pound the thousand.	16	0	0
49.	00		00.

Beside all their other labours in building, fen∣cing, clearing of ground, raising of Cattell, gardening, &c.

If a mans labour be imployed in Hempe and Flaxe, it will yeeld him as much profit, as Tobacco at this rate; and so in many other Commodities, whereof this Countrey is ca∣pable.

No man neede to doubt of the vent of these Commodities, for Merchants send shipping to those parts, who will buy off these Commodi∣ties at the aforesaid rates, in as great a quanti∣tie, as they shalbe able to make ready for them; because they yeeld a great encrease of profit in other Countreys, which the Planters them∣selues may make aduantage of to themselues, if they have shipping, and thinke fit to deale in such a kind of trade. As for instance, a 1000. of Pipe-staves, which are rated upon the place at foure pound, being carried to the Ca∣naries, will yeeld 15. or 20. l. Where likewise, and at the Westerne Islands, the Indian Corne will yeeld a great increase of benefit. The bene∣fit also which may be raised by trade out of Swine onely, may easily be conceived to be ve∣ry great, seeing they multiplie exceedingly, aske little tendance, and lesse charge of kee∣ping in that Countrey, so abounding with Mast, Chestnuts, &c. For Porke being trans∣ported into Spaine, or the Westerne Ilands will yeeld about 6. pence a pound, and Bacon, 8. pence. or 9. pence.
