Their Cattle.

In this Isle are greater abun∣dance Page  22 of Cattle then in most of the English Plantations in Ameri∣ca; as Horses,* which are here so plentiful, that a good Horse may be bought for 6 or 7 l.

Their Cowes are very large,* and so numerous, that although there hath been every Year so many Killed, yet their number seemeth not much to be lessoned.

Assnegroes and Mules (both wild and Tame) are very many,* which are found to be very ser∣viceable to the Inhabitants.

Their Sheep are large,* and tall, and their Flesh good, but their Wool is long, hairy, and little worth.

Goats are many,* which thrive exceedingly well, the Countrey being very fit for them.

Hoggs are here in exceeding great plenty,* as well those wild in the Mountains, as tame in the Page  23 Plantations, whose Flesh is far better tasted, and more nourish∣ing and easier to be digested then those of England; which is the reason that it is so much eaten in this Island; as indeed throughout the West-Indies.
