To my Worthy Friend and Cosen, Captaine Iohn Smith▪IT over-ioyes my heart, when as thy WordsOf these designes, with deeds I doe compare.Here is a Booke, such worthy truth affords,None should the due desert thereof impare:Sith thou, the man, deserving of these Ages,Much paine hast ta'en for this our Kingdomes good,In Climes vnknowne, 'Mongst Turks and Salvages,T'inlarge our bounds; though with thy losse of blood.Hence damn'd Detraction: stand not in our way.Envie, it selfe, will not the Truth gainesay.N. Smith.
