CHAP. VII.

Of Florida.

NExt to Virginia towards the South is situate Florida, a so called because it was first discouered by the Spaniards on Palme-sunday, or, at the most interpret, Easter-day, which they call Pasqua Florida: and not, as Theuet writeth, for the flourishing Verdure thereof. The first b finder after their account was Iohn Ponce of Leon, in the yeare 1512. but wee haue before shewed that Sebastian Cabota had discouered it in the name of King Henry the seuenth of England. The length of this Region extendeth to the fiue and twentith degree. It runneth out into the Sea with a long point of land, as if it would either set barres to that swift current which there runneth out, or point out the dangers of those coasts to the Hazardous Mariners.

Into the Land it stretcheth Westward vnto the borders of New-Spaine, and those other countries which are not fully knowne: other where it is washed with a dangerous Sea, which separateth Cichora, Baliama, & Lucaiae from the same. Iohn Ponce c aforesaid hearing a rumour of a prodigious well, which (as the Poets tell of Medea) would make olde men become young againe, plaid the yongling to goe search it six monethes toge∣ther, and in that inquirie discouers this Continent: and repairing into Spaine, obtai∣neth this Prouince with the Title of Adelantado. He returned with a Nauie and band of Souldiours, but at his landing was so welcomed by the Floridians, that many of his men were slaine, and himselfe wounded vnto death. Pamphilo de Naruaes had no bet∣ter successe: hee entred Florida, 1527. Cabeca, Denaca, and some of his company, after long captiuitie, escaped

Pamphilo carried with him six hundred men: about the Riuer of Palmes, his ships were wracked, and most of the Spaniards drowned. A few escaped drowning but twelue fell madde, & like Dogs, sought to worrie each other. Scarsely ten returned into Spaine. These comming to Mexico, reported that they had restored three dead men to life: I rather beleeue, saith Benzo, that they killed foure quicke men.

Don Ferdinando de Soto d enriched with the spoiles of Atibaliba King of Peru, In which action hee was a Captaine and horseman, here found place to spend that which there he had gotten. For hauing obtained the gouernment of Florida, and gathered a band of six hundred men for that expedition, in it hee spent fiue yeares searching for mineralls, till hee lost himselfe. Iulian Samado, and Ahuma∣da made sute for the like graunt, but could not obtaine it. Frier Luys de Beluastro, and other Dominikes had vndertaken by the way of preaching to haue reduced the Floridians to Christianitie, and the Spanish obedience, and were sent at the Em∣perours charge, but no sooner set foote on shore, then hee and two of his com∣panions were taken by the Sauages, and cruelly slaine and eaten, their shauen skalpes being hanged vp in their Temple for a monument. This happened in the yeare 1549. In the yeare 1524. Francis the first, the French King had sent Iohn e de Verrazano hither, but because he rather sought to discouer all along the coast then to search or settle within Land I passe him ouer. In the yeare 1562. That wor∣thy of France, f Chastillon, Champion of Religion and of his countrie, sent Cap∣taine Iohn Ribault to discouer and Plant in these parts, which his Voyage & Plan∣tation is written by Rene g Landonniere, one employed therein. He left Captaine Albert there with some of his company, who built a fort called Charles Fort: but this Albert was slaine in a mutiny by his Souldiours, and they returning home were so pursued by Famine, the Pursuiuant of Diuine Iustice, that after their shooes and Leather Ierkins eaten (their drinke being Sea water or their owne Vrine) they kil∣led and eate vp one of their owne company. Laudonniere was sent thither againe to inhabite, Anno 1564. and the next yeare Ribauls was sent to supply his place.

But vncouth . Famine had so wasted and consumed the French, before his arriuall, that the very bones of most of the Souldiours pierced through their starued skinnes in many places of their bodies, as if they would now trust the empty hands no longer, but would become their owne purueyours, and looke out for themselues. And yet better it is to fall into the hands of God, then of mercilesse Men: Famine being but a meere Execu∣tioner to Gods iustice, but these executing also a diuellish malice. Such were the Spa∣niards, who were sent thither vnder the conduct of Don Pedro Melendes, which mas∣sacred all of euery Sexe and age, which they found in the Fort: & Ribault, being cast by ship wracke on the shore, and receiued of Vallemandus the Spaniard, with promises of all kindnes, was cruelly murthered with all his company, except some few which they reserued for their owne emploiments. The manner of it is at large handled by h Landinniere, i by Morgues, by Challusius, k which were as brands by diuine hand plucked out of this Spanish combustion. The Petition or Supplication put l vp by the Orphanes, Widowes, and distressed kindred of that massacred number to Charles the ninth, mentioneth nine hundred, which perished in this bloudy deluge.

The Spaniards hauing laide the foundations of their habitation in bloud, sound it too slipperie to build any sure habitation thereon. For their cruelties both to the French and Floridians were retorted vpon themselues, in the yeare 1567. by m M. Dominique de Gorgnes, and his associates, assisted by the Natiue Inhabitants, and Flo∣rida was left destitute of Christian inhabitants. Thus hath Florida beene first cour∣ted by the English, wooed by the Spanish, almost wonne by the French, and yet remaines a rich and beautifull Virgin, vvaiting till the neighbour Virginia bestow on her an English Bridegroome, who as making the first loue, may lay the iustest chal∣lenge vnto her.

Her riches are such that n Cabeza de Vaca, (who was one of Naruaes wracked com∣pany, and Sotos Corriuall in this Floridian sute, and had trauelled through a great part of the In-land) affirmed to Charles the Emperour, that Florida was the richest countrie of the world, and that he had therein seene Gold and Siluer, and stones of great value. Be∣sides there is great varietie of o Trees, Fruits, Fowles, Beasts, Beares, Leopards, Ounces, Wolues, wilde Dogges, Goates, Hares, Conies, Deere, Oxen with woollic-Hides, Camels backes, and horses manes. Our discourse hath most right vnto their rites. For their many cities, the manner of their building, the manners of their inhabi∣tants I would not be so long. Morgues p hath let vs see them in the pictures.

They wall or impale them with postes fastned in the ground, the circle as of a snaile comming within that point where it beganne, and leauing a way but for two men to enter; at either end of that double empaling or entrance, stand two watch-towers, one within the other without the Citie, where Watch-men alway are set for defence: their houses are round: their apparell nakednesse, except a beasts skinne, or some or∣nament of Mosse about their secret parts. They paint and rase their skinnes with great cunning; the smart makes them sicke seuen or eight daies after; they rubb ouer those rased workes, with a certaine hearbe, which coloureth the fame so as it cannot be done away. They paint their faces, and their skinnes cunningly (this Morgues a Pain∣ter beeing iudge) euen to admiration. They let the nailes on their toes and fingers grow long: they are tall, nimble, comely.

They warre q alway one countrey vpon another, and kill all the men they can take, the women and children they bring vp: they cutt off the haire of the head together with the skinne, and dry it to reserue the same as a monument of their valour. After their returne from the Warres, if they bee victorious they make a solemne. Feast which lasteth three daies, with daunces and songs to the honour of the Sunne. For the Sunne and Moone are their Deities. Their Priests are Magicians also & Physitians with them. They haue many Hermaphrodites, which are put to great drudgerie, and made to beare all their carriages. In necessity they will eate coles, and put sand in their pottage. Three moneths in the yere they forsake their houses, & liue in the woods: against this time they haue made their prouision of victuall, drying the same in the smoke. They meet in cōsul∣tatiō euery morning in a great cōmon house, whither the King resorteth & his senators,

which after salutations sit downe in a round. They consult with the Iawas or Priest. And after this they drinke Cassine, which is very hote, made of the leaues of a certaine Tree, which none may tast that bath not before made his valour euident in the warres. It sets them in a sweat, and taketh away hunger and thirst foure & twenty houres after. When a King dieth, they bury him very solemnly, and vpon his graue they set the cup wherein he was wont to drinke: and round about the graue they sticke many Arrowes, wee∣ping and fasting three daies together without ceassing. All the Kings which were his friends, make the like mourning: and in token of their loue cutt off halfe their haire (which they otherwise weare long, knit vp behinde) both men and women. During the space of six Moones (so they reckon their monethes) there are certaine women appoin∣ted which bewaile his death, crying with a loude voice thrice a day, at Morning, Noone, and Euening. All the goods of this King are put into his house, which afterwards they set on fire. The like is done with the goods of the Priests, who are buried in their houses, and then both house and goods burned.

The women r that haue lost their husbands in the Warres present themselues before the King sitting on their heeles with great lamentations sueing for reuenge & they with other widowes spend some daies in mourning at their husbands graues, and carry thi∣ther the cup wherein he had wont to drinke: they cut also their haire neere the eares, strewing the same in the sepulcher. There they cast also their weapons. They may not marry againe till their haire be growne that it may couer their shoulders.

When any is sicke they lay him flat on a forme, and with a sharpe shell rasing off the skinne of his forehead, sucke out the bloud with their mouths, spitting it out into some vessell. The women that giue sucke, or are great with childe come to drinke the same, especially if it be of a lusty young man, that their milke may be bettered, and the childe, thereby nourished, may be stronger.

Ribault s at his first being there had fixed a certaine Pillar of stone, engrauen with the Armes of France on a hill in an Iland, which Laudonniere at his comming found the Flo∣ridians worshipping as their Idol, with kisses, kneeling, and other deuotions. Before the same lay diuers offerings of fruits of the country, rootes (which they vsed either for foode or physicke) vessels full of sweet oiles, with bowes and Arrowes. It was gyrt a∣bout with Garlands of flowers, and boughes of the best trees, from the top to the bot∣tome, King Athore himselfe performed the same honour to this pillar, that he receiued of his subiects. This King Athore was a goodly personage, higher by a foote and halfe then any of the French, representing a kinde of maiestie and grauitie in his demeanure. He had married his owne mother, and had by her diuers children of both sexes; but after she was espoused to him, his father Satourioua, did not touch her.

This t Satourioua when he went to warre, in the presence of the French vsed these ce∣remonies: The Kings his coadi••tors sitting around, hee placed himselfe in the midst, at his right hand had a fire, and at his left two vessels full of water. Then did hee expresse Indignation and anger in his lookes, gestures, hollow murmurings, and loude cries, an∣swered with the like from his souldiours: and taking a woodden dish, turned himselfe to the Sunne as thence desiring victorie, and that as he now shed the water in the dish, so hee might shed the bloud of his enemies. Hurling therefore the water with great violence into the aire, and therewith be sprinkling his souldiours he said, Doe you thus with the bloud of our enemies: and powring the water which was in the other vessel on the fire, so (saith he) may you extinguish your foes, and bring backe the skinnes of their heads. Outina u or Vtina another King was an enemie to this Sataurioua: he in his ex∣pedition which he made against his enemies (wherein hee was assisted by the French) consulted with this Magician about his successe. He espying a French mans Target, de∣maundeth the same, and (in the mids of an armie) placeth it on the ground, drawing a circle fiue foote ouer about it, adding also certaine notes and Characters: then did hee set himselfe vpon the Target, sitting vpon his heeles, mumbling I know not what with varietie of gestures about the space of a quarter of an houre: after which he appeared so transformed into deformed shapes that he looked not like a man, wreathed his lims and his bones cracking with other actions seeming supernaturall. At last he returnes himself

as it were weary and astonished, and comming out of the circle saluted the King; and told him the number of their enemies and place of their encamping, vvhich they found very true. This King was called Holata Outina, which signifieth; a King, of Kings, and yet a few hundreths of men vvere his armie, which hee x conducted in their rankes, himselfe going alone in the mids. They drie the armes and legges, and crownes of their enemies which they haue slaine, to make solemne triumph at their returne, which they doe, fastning them on poles pitched in the ground, the men and women sitting round about, and the Magician with an Image in his hand, mum∣bling curses against the enemy: ouer against him are three men kneeling, one of which beateth a stone with a clubb, and answereth the Magician at euery of his imprecati∣ons, the other two sing and make a noise with certaine Rattles.

They sow or set their corne rather, as in Virginia: and haue two seede-times, & two haruests, which they bring into a publike barne, or common store-house as they doe the rest of their victuals, none fearing to be beguiled of his neighbour. Thus doe these Bar∣barians enioy that Content attended with Sobrietie and Simplicitie, which we haue ba∣nished together out of our coasts: euery one distrusting or defra••ding others, whiles ei∣ther by miserable keeping, or luxurious spending, he (which is y bad to all) is worst to him∣selfe. To this barne they bring at a certaine time of the yeare, all the Venison, Fish, and Crocodiles, (dried before in the smoke for the better preseruation) which they meddle not with till neede forceth them, and then they signifie the same to each other. The King may take thereof as much as he will. This prouision is sent in baskets on the shoulders of their Hermaphrodites, which weare long haire, and are their Porters for all burthens.

They hunt Harts after a strange manner: for they will put on a Harts skinne, with the legges and head on, so that the same shall serue them to stalke with; and they will looke through the eye and holes of the Hide, as if it were a visour, thereby decei∣uing their game, which they shoot and kill, especially at the places, where they come to drinke. Their Crocodiles they take in a strange manner. They are so plagued vvith these beasts, that they keepe continuall watch and ward against them, as other-where against their enemies. For this purpose they haue a Watch-house z by the Riuers side, and when hunger driues the beast on shore for his prey, the Watch-man calls to men appointed: they come ten or twelue of them, hearing a beame or Tree, the smaller end whereof they thrust into the mouth of the Crocodile (comming vpon them ga∣ping for his prey) which being sharpe and rough, cannot be got out, and therewith they ouer-turne him, and then beeing laide on his backe, easily kill him. The flesh a tasteth like Veale, and would bee sauourie meate, if it did not sauour so much of a musky sent. Their sobrietie lengtheneth their liues, in such sort that one of their Kings told me, saith Morgues, that he was b three hundred yeares olde, and his Father, which there he shewed me aliue, was fiftie yeares elder then himselfe: when I saw him, me thought I saw nothing but bones couered with skinne. His sinewes was, veines, and arteries, saith Laudonniere in description of the same man, his bones and other parts appeared so clearely through his skinne, that a man might easily tell them, and discerne the one from another. He could not see, nor yet speake without great paine. Monsieur de Ottigni, demaunding of their age, the yonger of these two called a company of Indians, and striking twice on his thigh, laid his hands on two of them, hee shewed that they vvere his sonnes: and striking on their thighes, he shewed others which were their sonnes, and so continued till the fift generation. And yet it was told them, that the eldest of them both might by the course of Nature liue thirtie or forty yeares more.

They haue c a diuelish custome to offer their first borne Male Children to the King for a Sacrifice. The day of this dismall Rite beeing notified to the King, hee goeth to the place appointed and sittes downe. Before him is a blocke two foote high, and as much thicke, before vvhich the Mother of the Childe sit∣ting on her heeles, and couering her face, with her hands, deploreth the death of her sonne. One of her friends offereth the childe to the King: and then the women

which accompained the mother, place themselues in a Ring, dauncing and singing, and she that brought the child, stands in the mids of them with the childe in her hands, sing∣ing somewhat in the Kings commendation. Six Indians stand a-part, and with them the Priest with a Clubbe, wherewith after these ceremonies hee killeth the childe on that blocke: which was once done in our presence.

Another d Religious Rite they obserue about the end of Februarie: they take the hide of the greatest Hart they can get (the hornes being on) and fill the same with the best hearbes which grow amongst them, hanging about the hornes, necke, and bodie, as it were Garlands of their choicest fruits. Hauing thus sowed and trimmed it, they bring the same with songs and Pipes, and set it on a high Tree, with the head tur∣ned toward the East, with prayers to the Sunne, that hee would cause the same good things to grow againe in their Land. The King and his Magician stand nearest the Tree and beginne, all the people following with their Responds. This done, they goe their waies leauing it there till the next yeare, and then renew the same cere∣monie.

Bibault e at his first comming had two of the Floridians abord with him certaine daies, who, when they offered them meate refused it, giuing them to vnderstand that they were accustomed to wash their face, and to stay till sunne-set before they did eate: which is a ceremonie common in all those partes. They obserue a certaine Feast called Toya, with great solemnitie. The place where it is kept is a great circuit of ground, swept and made neate by the women the day before: and on the Feast day they which are appointed to celebrate the Feast, come painted and trimmed with fea∣thers, and set themselues in order. Three f others in differing painting and gestures follow with Tabrets, dauncing and singing in a lamentable tune, others answering them. After that they haue sung, danced, and turned three times, they fall to run∣ning like vnbridled Horses, through the middest of the thicke woodes: the Indian women continuing all the day in weeping and teares, cutting the armes of the yong girles with muskle-shelles, with hurling the bloud into the Aire, crying out three times, He Toya. Those that ranne through the Woods, returne two daies after, and then daunce in the middest of the place, and cheere vp those which were not cal∣led to the Feast. Their daunces ended, they deuoure the meate, for they had not eate in three dayes before. The Fre••chmen learned of a boy, that in this meane∣while the Iawas had made inuocation•••• Toya, and by Magicall Characters had made him come that he might speake with him, and demaund diuers strange things of him, which for feare of the Iawas he durst not vtter.

To prouoke them vnto reuenge against their enemies, they in their Feasts haue this custome. There is a Dagger in the roome, which one taketh and striketh ther∣with one that is thereunto appointed, and then places the Dagger where hee had it, and anone reneweth the stroke, till the Indian falling downe, the women, Girles, Boyes, come about him and make great lamentation, the men meane while drinking Cassine, but with such silence, that not one word is heard: afterwards they apply Mosse warmed, to his side to heale him. Thus doe they call to minde the death of their ancestors slaine by their enemies, especially when they haue inuaded, and returne out of their enemies country without the heads of any of them, or with∣out any Captiues.

These things following Ortelius g saith, hee had from his Nephew Caelius Ortelius, by the Relation of an eye-witnesse. The King giueth, or selleth rather, to euerie man his Wife. If a woman commit Adulterie, shee is bound to a Tree, her armes and legges stretched out all day, and sometimes whipped. A woman, three houres after shee is deliuered of a Childe, carries the Infant to the Riuer to wash it. They obserue no discipline in their Families with their Children. They haue Fleas, which bite so eagerly, that they leaue a great deformitie like a Lepry after: They haue winged Serpents, one of which I saw, saith Nicolaus h Challusius, the wings whereof seemed to enable it to flie a little height from the ground: The inhabitants

were very carefull to get the head thereof, as was thought, for some superstition. Bo∣tero i saith, that they haue three sorts of Harts, and of one of them make the same com∣modities which we doe of our kine, keeping them tame, and milking them. The Spa∣niard hath three garrisons on the coast of Florida, S. Iacomo, S. Agostino, and S. Philippo.

They are k much addicted to venery, and yet abstaine from their wiues after con∣ception knowne. When l Ferdinando Soto entred Florida, he there found amongst the Indians one Iohn Ortiz a Spaniard, which by the suttlety of the people, vnder colour of deliuering a letter which they had fastned to a clest cane, was taken and liued twelue yeares with them. Vcita the Lord of the place made him his Temple-keeper, because that by night the wolues came and carried away the dead corpses. Hee reported that these people are worshippers of the Deuill, and vse to offer vnto him the life and bloud of their Indians, or of any people, that they can come by: and when he will haue them doe that sacrifice vnto him, he speaketh vnto them, and tells them, that hee is a thirst, and enioynes them this sacrifice. They haue a prophecie, That a white people should sobdue them; wherein the French and Spanish haue hitherto failed in their attempts. Soto hauing in his greedy hopes neglected the many, commodities hee might haue en∣ioyed, to finde greater: was brought to such dumps that he thereon sickened, and af∣ter died. But before he tooke his bed, he sent to the Cacique of Quigalta, to tell him, that he was the childe of the Sunne, and therefore would haue him repaire to him: hee answered. That if he would drie vp the riuer, hee would beleeue him. And when hee was dead, because he made the Indians beleeue that the Christians were immortall, the Spaniards sought to conceale his death. But the Cacique of Guachoya busily enquiring for him, they answered that he was gone to heauen, as many times he did, and had left an other in his place. The Cacique thinking he was dead, m commaunded two young and well proportioned Indians to be brought thither, saying it was their custome to kil men, when any Lord died, to wait on him by the way: which their cruell courtesie the Spaniards refused, denying that their Lord was dead. One Cacique asked Soto what he w••s, and why he came thither, he answered, That hee was the sonne of GOD, and came to teach them knowledge of the Law. Not so, saith the Cacique, if GOD bids thee thus to kill, steale, and worke all kinde of mischiefe.

For their credulity in like case, Laudonniere telleth, that a strange and vnheard-of lightning hapned within a league of their fort, which consumed in an instant 500 acres of meadow, being then greene, and halfe couered with water, together with the foules that were therein. It continued burning three dayes together, and made the French∣men thinke, that for their sakes the Indians had set fire on their dwellings, and were gone to some other place. But a certaine Paracoussy, which is one of their petty Kings, or Caciques, sent to him a Present, beseeching him to commaund his men that they should shoote no more towards his dwelling, thinking that the ordinance had caused all this; which occasion he vsed to his owne good, by arrogating that to himselfe which he saw their simplicitie conceiued of him. Within two dayes after this accident, fell such an heat, that the riuer (I thinke) was ready to seeth: and in the mouth of the riuer were found, dead therwith, fishes enow to haue laden 50 carts, wherof issued, by putrefaction, much sickenesse.

Calos is neare the Cape of Florida. The King thereof made his subiects beleeue, that his sorceries and charmes were the cause that made the earth bring forth her fruit n and that he might the easier perswade them, he retired himselfe once or twice a yeare to a certaine house, accompanied with two or three of his friends, where he vsed inchant∣ments. If any man offered to see what he did, it cost him his life. Euery yeare he offe∣reth a man in the time of haruest, which was kept for that purpose, and taken of such Spa∣niards as had suffered shipwracke on that coast.

They which further desire to know the riches and commodities of these Countries, may resort to the Authors in this Chapter mentioned. Sir Francis Drake, in the yeare 1586, besides his worthy exploits in other places, tooke the sorts of S. Iohn and S. Augu∣stine; whence he brought Pedro Morales and Nicholas B••••goig••••••••, whose relations concerning that country M. Hackel••••yt hath inserted among other his painfull labours.

Dauid Ingram o reported many strange things which he saith he saw in these parts, elephants, horses, and beasts twice as bigge as horses, their hinder partes resembling grey-hounds; bulles with eares like hounds; beasts bigger then beares, without head or necke, but hauing their eyes and mouths in their breasts: and an other beast, C••rberus, he calls him Colluchio, which is (saith he) the deuill in likenes of a dog, and sometimes of a calfe; with many other matters, wherein he must pardon me, if I be not too prodigal of my saith. He tells also of punishment of adultery by death, the woman cutting the a∣dulterers throat, and the nearest kinsman, hers, after many prayers to the Colluchio, and a further punishment, in that they haue no quicke body buried with them to attend them into the other world, as all others haue. But they that list to beleeue, may consult with the Author.
