A Sommary DESCRIPTION, Manifesting that greater Profits are to bee done in the hott then in the could parts off the Coast off AMERICA: And how much the public good is concerned therein Referring to the annexed ADVERTISSEMENT, For men inclined to Plantations.

AN Advertissement for men inclined to Plantations manifesting that greater profits are to bee donne in the hott then in the could parts off the Coast off America, (and which was printed att Rotterdam as appeares by the annexed) hath promissed this Summary Descrip∣tion / and the which was conceaved fitt to bee publisht with all due and zealous respects unto his Sacred Majesty, as att so greate incomparable an example (of his most extraordinary gratious care for the publicke good) all men are obliged to bee awake∣ned / and to offer (according unto theire tallent whatsoever may bee off use: And should not all men doe soe? then must every one bee an open

enemy to himselfe / as also onworthy that a Souverayne should (as to say) fatigate himselfe in seeking and pracktysing all advantages / whereby benefits may bee procured unto them / which hath so mani∣festly appeared as forrayne nations have not only admired his gracious bounty in the behalffe off his Loyall subjects, butt moved some to offer likewyse cer∣tayne expedients. Whereby his service and the good off his subjects may bee much advanced.

The said beeing not only a manifest truth concerning forrayne Na∣tions in Europe, but a most remarcable one in the Inhabitants off the coast off America, who about the tyme of his Sacred Majestys, returning into England) when no Courriers nor weeckly Intelligencers could bring that happy neewes theire) exprest theire ressentments / which may well deserve to bee taken / notice off / as lickewyse that thy had the ty∣ding even in the month of May Anno 1660. which the heavens must have brought unto them.

The said wilde (in name but nor wilde in nature for that thy are off a most milde disposition) said that thy could not endure those men whoe doe not love theire Anna Cajoury (which is to say king or Scheeff) butt bid wilcome all such as are true unto him bring them / refrechments off Annasses. And other fruites / as also Wilde deare, fish, and foule, besy∣des all what thy could finde in those parts which thy doe inhabite.

And as thy knowe that number off them are on the Hands of Bar∣bados / S. Christosters / as also on the same Coast of America as at Sarename, thy (for as much theire capacity makes them discusse mat∣ters) doe not a little wonder how such as leave the cold clyme in Euro∣rope will transporte themselves to the cold parts of America, and not preferre the hot where it never winters / and no fire needes to bee made but to boile theire fish and Crabs / and to coste wilde deere and foule.

That then the love off a Christian (for the advancement of the publick good) may not bee said to bee more could then the frozen Northeren cly∣me / nor the innocent Charibdiens reproache unto such a one (whoe thy have not fayled to visitte and to impart unto him what the hot parts off America is capable off) his want off charity. This Summary Descri∣ption must defend / and most seasonnably free frome desadvantagious explications on the fresh returne off a notable Equipage which in the yeare 1659. hath been sent from Amsterdam to the Coast of America, and that likewyse no men (sudued with comon Sence) may have any just cause to•• doubt of the truth that this Description is wel grounded / it hath seemed necessary to hould forth the cause of the re in facta returne of that Equipage; and wy the men whoe were sent to that much more

beneficiall hot part off America thou the cold did not settle theire / which though it should require every ample Description hath beene thought fit to contract in as seemlynes as possibly may bee / since it is but to serve as replaye unto the particular Quaeritur which may bee made con∣cerning the cause of such returne; yet must the sayd description bee taken frome the spring off the evill / the which proceded frome a hellish ambition off certayne Thrusties sent whith the afore said Equipage, and who before theire departure frome Texell conbyned against the cheeff Commandor and Patron off an intended Colonie to bee setled on the Coast off America. To ma∣ke them selves masters, so thy could dispocesse him, or distroy his persson and his familly, that theire might remayne no pretenders to the Land which he was to pocesse.

Which conbination beeing discovred to the said cheefe Commandor Sir Balthazar Gerber, authorised by speciall commission off the Lords E∣states generall off the united Provinces / and off the West-Indian Com∣pany / obliged him (by the prime Law of selffe preservation, to defend him selffe (as much possibly hee could against such a damnable plot / which never oughst to have beene expected frome rationals / nor frome men to whome hee was a benefactor / and whoe would not have beene admitted without his consent).

Yet so farre had the spirrit off Diluzion charmed them as forgetting God / and the property off Human Soules / thy only represented to them selves (as the Phabulous Midas) tot choake them selves with Gold and Silver / and to runne head long to those parts were precious things are said to bee had; as also to meete with cheefs off famillies who might sheew them the way to el Dorado, and Manua.

Thy thought on nothing elsse save to destroy theire cheeff Comman∣dor / and his familly / as Otto Keye the prime leader who could not so much as dissimule his murdering inclination / when as hee vented (before his departure from Texel) That hee wold make short worke with the Commandor, and his familly; and (beeing once sett on firme ground in America) either gett a golden fleece, or a rope about his necke) that hee would theirefore copulate with one off the cheef Indian his Daughter, and then kill him, to make him selffe master off all. So as killing and mur∣thering was the mayn delight and scope off this worsse then Barba∣rian disposition / as that off his choise fellow trustees.

In fyne / so as the evili begunne it was pursued; and never ceassed untill after the arrival of the Equipage on the Coast of America.

The Equipage did consist off three good Vessels / wel provided with all necessaryes / as Victuals / Amunition / Cargazoen / to Trafficke

with: materialls / Ingredients to purge myneralls Toels to wor∣ke with / and to manuer the Land; One Rijnier Van Buren the Com∣missary off the Magazyn (a notable hellish monopollist) agitating (as inpudently and Inprudently sayd) according unto his secret in∣structions receaved before his departure frome Amsterdam to comby∣ne against the sayd Commandor resolved as Wel as the others after ha∣ving made use off severall stratagemes. to make an end off the sayd Commandor and off his harmlesse familly / remitting as his other fel∣low trustees the prosecution off the establishing off the Colonie / and all the mayne for the which the Equipage was sent untill thy should have performed theire bluddy worcke which thy compassed in part; as is particulaly mentionned in the afforesaid annexed advertissement; Whereby the Quaeritur concerning the reinfacta returne of the Equipagie is answeared / and may wel serve for an argument that the sand Sir Baltha∣zar Gerber could never have donne anny good with such men / who as thy minded but his extirpation / never suffered him after the arrivall off the Equipagie on the Coast off America to settle the intended Colonie / nor to repaire in persson n'ay not so much as to enquire after all such things where unto the Equipagie was sett forth / for thy thought to have gotten outt off him all what soever thy were to purchasse in Ame∣rica and were confident enouff that theire was a fleece to bee had / butt thy would putt it into theire particular sack / for thy were not Ignorant that all the world hath spoken off El Dorado, and Manva, as credible men have publisht that Don Diego d'Ordas, Capitayn to Cortez, (whoe conquered Mexico) did discover richesses in the King dome off Guaiana, as Gaspar de Sylva, and Jean Gonzales did relate Wondrous things off that continent / soo have thy beene sought by Philip d'Uren, Pedro de Lympias, Geronimo d'Ortal, Ximenes, the brother off Ximena de Guesi∣da, Pedro d'Ossima and the monek Sala whoe braught cast golden Ai∣gles from thence

Therfore the said combinators kneew wel also / that it was sayd that when the Duke of Buckingham was attending the Prince of greate Bri∣tane att Madrid, one Don Anthonio Hennin, had (by Sir Balthazar Gerbeer, been examined / and Introduced to the sayd Duke, that the sayd Don Hennin produced the mynerall / which hee had braught frome America, and that the sayd mynerall did render a verry rich quantity off gold Thy kneew also (especially Otto Keye who had beene present att Delff when by the appointement off that Magistrat a proefe was made off the mynerall) That itt did render gold / and that it was off the

same which in the yeare 1656 (in a Schip called the Liefde) was braught frome the coast off America.

But so greate theere uniust scope was as to mynde nought butt what might contribute to the rendring off them sole pocessors off all / and suffer themselves to bee persuaded to make use off anny falcehoods / whereby thy might disguise theire bluddy dessyne / and sent horride relations to theire confident Patrons / among whome theire is one whoe was not ashamed to boaste to have sayd to a Souverayne Prince that Sir Balthazar Gerber did not agree with theire Trustees: which iff hee had done by yeelding to theire intent (which was to distroy him and his Innocent familly) had beene a most barbarous resolution in him / and a shamefull sygne off weaknisse / As would at present ar∣gue no lesse incensibillity in him in casse hee should not (as a second Colomba) aquaint men capable off truth off the apparant good which may bee done in the hott parts off the American coast / and wherefore this Sommary description is putt forth / where off the particular an notations must bee on this Principle / That the profits to bee done in the hott parts off America are incomparably more then those which men inpru∣dently seeke in the cold, Which to prove on certayne grounds it wilbe best first to fix on a calculation concerning the charges which men who transporte them selves towards America must bee at / and therefore to specify a particular some off mony / which some have put forth on like occasion / As for example / that men who had bestowed one hundred and seventy nyne pounds / for theire necessary expences for theire trans∣portation / and the preparing off fit grounds in the cold part off America, had not (at the ende off a yeares turmoyle and Labour) advanced a bove three pound / which should seeme to bee almost In∣credible.

But that this truth may plainly appeare the following calculation may serve for the manifestation off the same.

First, a man must for transportation and food for him selffe; his Wyfe, two Servants, children, and also for transportation off his houshold - stuffpay att the least	ff 52 - 0 - 0
For one Child.	ff 1 - 4 - 0
For the first yeares maintenance for foode clothis and light for him selffe, his Wyfe child and two Servants att the least 20 Sc. per Weeke, which is per anum.	ff 52 - 0 - 0

For the heyer off two labourers for a yeare	ff 12 - 0 - 0
For two Kowes	ff 24 - 0 - 0
For Scedes	ff 4 - 0 - 0
For a Cart and Plowe	ff 6 - 0 - 0
For two beds, cheeres and coverleds	ff 5 - 0 - 0
For Schuvels, Spades, Axes, Hatchets, Pickakes, and other tooles (necessary to the manvering off Lands)	ff 18 - 0 - 0
For the Building off a housse, for the Carpenter, with a man, daily wagers and Victuals	ff 6 - 0 - 0
For the Iron worcke necessary to the house	ff 9 - 0 - 0
For all Kinde off necessary houshold stuff, as Kettels, Pots, Disshes, and Pannes	ff 12 - 0 - 0
	179 - 4 - 0

And is to be considered / that before anny profit can bee had In such a cold clyme (frome Lands that must bee prepared) two yeares Wilbe spent at the Least; for that those Lands (as Well as others) must bee cleered frome the Woods Which thy doe beare / the roets and stomps Wel removed.

That one man cannott cleere / prepare nor mannuer (during the ty∣me off a yeare) more then ten Akers of ground / consisting off six thou∣sand Rods.

So as a man must Weekly cleere / prepare and manuer about one hundred and fifty Rods / and / consequently dayly ••ynthien Rods.

And whoe dayly shall cleere such a parcell off ground both off the Wood / roets / and stomps / must labour verry hard as Slaves doe.

Yett Were it so that in a yeares tyme a man could Infalibly prepare so much ground to make it fit for the Plowe. And that hee could reape some benefit there on in the second Yeare / yet must hee frome those ten Akers reserve two for haye / and grasse / for two horsses / and two kowes / Which scarcely Wilbee fedd / by reason off the difference off Lands neewly made / and those Which are troughly and fully groune.

So is it necessary to keepe two Akers of ground for grasse for the ko∣wes / and the two horsses /

So as off the ten Akers remaynes six to sowe / where of three may bee sowne with Wheate; one off the three others with Rye; the two other remayning with Barley / Oates / Pease / and Beanes / where off the Rye (growing uppon one off the Akers) wil bee necessary for

the maintenance off the familly / since an Aker off good ground (which can bee sowne with one sacke of Rye) doth noth produce above sixteen sacks / which a familly (consisting off a man / woman / two strong labourers and children) Wil neede for a yeares tyme; As lickwyse the same familly shall neede the production off the two other Akers off ground / for housekeeping / the Barly for Beare / Pease / and Bea∣nes / for Salt Porc / and the Oates for Horsses.

The groathe off the remayning three Akers beeing reserved allone for the making good off the expences and the clering off debts made;

But there cannot bee gotten frome the said three Akers above fifty foure sacks off Corne.

Which (when all is considered) cannot yeeld more then the number off people theire can sett aprisse thereon / no advantage beeing to bee expected by transportation off Corne to other parts off the World / which needs not to send for Corne in America.

So as when all what can bee done in the could clyme off America. (Beeing put together att the best) wil argue it to bee the worst which (men whoe seeke to make a fortune) can bee pitcht uppon in considera∣tion off the advantages too bee made in the hott clyme off that con∣tinent.

It wil be verry easy to all rationalls to graunt that the said hott cly∣me ought to bee preferred before the could / where the ground beares al the yeare long / because it never whiters theire / grapes culd all the yeare long frome the Stallee; as all other fruites. Cattel producing a∣bondantly; no such cost necessary as cloathe clothing (and other char∣geable defence) against the feercenisse off Winter season / and no such indisposition tormentig the boddyes of men as occasionned by could mists / piercing Windes / Hayles / Snowe / and hard frosts / etc.

All which is found to bee true / and not needing other tongues to speake it / nor pens to wryte it / then those off that people inhabitting the Charibdis Eylands / as likewyse Sarenamme, and Cajana, on the Coast of the firme Land off America; where (as is mentioned in the afore said annexed advertissemeut for men inclined to Plantations there) a most profitable settlement can bee made / and by the Service of Slaves (whoe neede no cloathis against the could / nor bedding / nor anny other such chargeable accommodations as a could Clyme doth require; from which hott clyme ready returnes of precious things can bee made wit∣hout the losse off two yeares tyme / as in the could clyme;

Were no such cost must bee bestowed for the buylding off houses for men / nor Stables and chargeable barrins for the placing off Cattell; for as the inhabitants (called the wilde thoug verry tame good people)

will in feew dayes make a convenient habitation for one Axe, hatchet, and some knyffs, the Cattell lives all the yeare long in the open ayre.

The Slaves neede no clothis / and beeing once baught and payed are during all theire lyffe tyme workmen Without Wagers; when by one day free to themselves in the Weeke thy get theire one Living / and whoe doe more Worke (at there ease) then two Christians can performe / both in the manuering off the ground / and in digging off mynes.

Nor is in the hot parts of America in the beginning off Plantations much Cattel necessary for houskeeping / and the Labouring of grounds / the greate aboundance off fruite considered: off fish / foule / and Wil be Deare / which all the yeare long is to bee had theire / Nor neede ha∣bitants furnish theire houses with such chargeable houshold stuff as thy must necessarily have in the could parts / nor bedding / nor Schee∣tes / for that in the hot parts a Hamack (to bee had for one hatchet) is the best bedd that can bee made usse off / both for the night / and for a fresh repose in the day tyme /

The difference off the profits which are to bee done on the commodi∣tyes which can bee gotten frome the sayd hot parts (and those which are gotten in the could) beeing as greate as the difference off the worth off them is / and were of anny understanding person can make the esti∣mate / especially such men whoe knowe what distinction theire is to bee made betweene precious things / or of greate exteeme / and ordinary commodityes / As the precious to bee had in the Hott parts of Ameri∣ca are Gould, Silver, Stonnes, of greate vallue, precious Woods, for all kinde of rare workes, for Dye, Collours, as Orian, Rocous for scarlet dye, and the Ultermarin, precious Balms, Armadac, Bolus, Cassia, rare Gu∣mes as Lemnae; sennement, which hath the Vigor off Cloves, bessydes Ho¦ny, cleere as Christal, and Wax, as theire hath beene found store off Nut∣megs with Mace about them; which though some men gathered during the rayny months, (that thy where as unrype Aprikoks fallen youngh to the ground) have taken to bee but Wilde / yet in all appearance (by reason of theire shape / colour / inward vaynes / and theire taste) may (beeing full growne and parfaict rype) prove to bee right / and of greate con∣cernment.

The soule (by reason off the degrees onder the which it Lyith / and the rayne which falls in the Season which in Europe is the winter / and yet in America continuall warme dayes) beares continuall / without Intermition / and in such a quantity as Jean Claasen Langendijck the Commandor in Cajana (five degrees by North the Lyne Equinoctiall) both assure / that certayne part off his most rocky grounds which had

beene cleered to have within sirmonts tyme after (for want off conti∣nuall trimming off the same) beene as high over groune agayne as o∣ther part off Lands wold not have beene in six Yeares / the which ground Sir Balthasar Gerbeere and his familly hath seene; and otherwa∣yes would have douted off the report.

The Planters lykwise did relate that Sugar reedes have beene found there as thicke as a mans arme / and that theire cannot bee better ground in the World for Sugar / Indigo / Cotton / Tobaca / and all kinde off Seedes.

On which infalible principle all men (desirous to Improve them selves by plantations) may take there Levells / and bee justly moved to preferre the Hot clyme off America before the could / and that Wit∣hout scrupule off making use off Slaves by reason off an opinion enter∣tayned by some / that it is not Christian-lycke to use rationall creatures in that quallity off Slavery / when as the custome Was permitted in the old Testament, the neew forbids it nott, and the Imperiall Laws suffer the use off them; bycause Slaves bought in severall parts off Africa (where thy will sell them selves agayne / though by the death off theire masters thy are become free) live theire in the Slavery off the Divill, but by theire transportation among Christians are in the first place (by education and good example) changed as frome brutes / into rationnalls / and in the second by a custome (which must worke upon them / except God bee pleased to suffer his extraordinary Mercy to say hold on theire Soules) braught co call upon his name / by faith in Christ Jesus, for the Which theire Slavish condition proves to them a verry great blisse / since o∣therwayes thy (as experience hath manifested but to often) returning unto theire one / will likewyse as Dogs returne to theire Vomit; besi∣des Which reason (to serve against nisse and over scrupulous men) it may well bee said that theere is a greate mistake in manny whoe doe I∣magine that the keeping off Blacks in that manner bee a rasse more hard then that off Servants whoe all theire Lyffe long like in servitude / and whoe doe as much worke (according unto the constitution off theire boddies) as anny off the Blacks, called Slaves / whoe doe not as the Holland mades Scoure and wach on the Sabath Day) yet doe not the Holland madens faire on the delicatnesses which the hot parts of the world doe afforde / and may bee sayd that Anthonius (at the Table off Cleopatra) had not better; no Kings in Europe tasting to Annas, the fruite which King Jeames (off blessed memory) sayd the Wilde were on worthy off /

So all men inclyned to Plantations (by the best profits to bee done

with the necessary husbandry (which in matter of Inprovement / by negotiation / and by manuering off grounds is a capital point) may (iff thy please) also reflect on the following calculation / Whereby it appeares / With how much lesse charge a Planter may fit and trans∣porte Sim selffe to the hot parts off America, then to the could) Where off an estimate is set in the beginning off this sommary description / vir.

Iff a familly (consisting off husbond / Wyff and Children) shall resolve to transporte it selffe to America, as the Patrons of a Company Wilbe•• contented to beare the charges / to receave them a gayne out of the fruites of the grounds / which the Planters can (by a feew things taken allong with them (before theire departure) fijnde wherewith to make good those charges att an easy ratte / the which cannot bee done in the could parts of America, I parceell of knyves (worth three pence a peece) some Axes / hatchets / Sizars / Razers; Glas beades / and ould coursse Linnen will avayle / them / as is mentionned in the aforesayd printed advertissement / to get foode / both of flesh / fish / and foule / and drincke in abondance / as lickwyse many things whe∣reon thy wil make greate profitt / Parets / Aeps / Monckis / Ha∣macks / and severall other things / besydes the honny / Balms / Cummes / and Colours / which the Indians will bring unto them.

And as thy shall not pay for the transportation of theire servants / so thy shall not neede to provide before hand to the nurrissement of such Slaves as thy would Imploy and shal bee delivered unto them on the place / save but for eight months tyme / untill the unprepared ground shall have been made fit / and produce farinne / whereof bread is made.

Theire must then (in the first place) bee reckonned the charges for the Cassavy, which is a roote where off the Indians doe make ••••ead / and is sold by them for a toy of beads / or a knijffe / not worth speaking of / So is theire drincke (called parnaw) as good Bier / Cawaw / and the delitious drincke called Jamany, fish / foule / and wilde deare accordingly / and as is particularly mentionned in the affore sayd prin∣ted advertissement.

Whereby it appeare that Whoesoever leaves the could parts of Euro∣pe, to repayre to the cold of America, betters not his condition / but that those whoe doe go to the hot part makes as to a Land of promise / and may wel serve to Christians to conclude / that it must bee very good beeing in Heaven, since theire is such a wel beeing on Earth.

If therefore men should bee inclyned to putt a stock of monny to ge∣ther / to make an Improvement / wherin the publicke good oft those

of the Christian profession is concerned / and the encreasse of Trafficke in all the Charibdien Eylands / in the which severall things are requi∣sitte / and in some of them wanting / as the inhabittants at S. Eustaches wel knowe / and feele; besides others / who (out of certayne respects shalbe spared to publish) The undertaking might bee begunne with a fash∣ionnable Equipagie, and fitt to transporte a number of Planters, and men to worcke in mynes, and wel skild in the extractions off myneralls: The vessels must not drawe above 9. or 10. fotre water.

The Planters must bee rationalls, and nott bee accompanyed neither with Dames that cannot live without codlings, and rose Water, nor without to see a Cock end a Beare by ting, nor with Holland Idolatrous mad weomen, that cannot live without scouring, robbing, and washing on the Sabath day, nor expect trimmings in prancking houses, with a fect of Porcelyns; But good Husiffs, that will pust theire hands to the Planting off good Sugar reedes; at the least bee as God mayd them for, faithfull helping hands to theire husbonds in the survaying off his workmen, and Slaves:

Thy must bee persons knowen in theire Parishes to have a good repute off a temper to live according unto the Laws off God and men. for that other∣wayes it is inpossible to make any good establissement / especially in an unhabitted part off the World / when boistrous men shall turne mo∣re wilde then the Salvages: and (at the Damnable Example of o∣thers) harbour but murthering thoughts / as experience speakes but to many have done; and Especially those of Tabago knowe, those of other parts can tell, and those of Cajana can relate, that the cheef Commandors have been murdered, some in theire Cabin, some in the woods, some head∣long throwne in the Sea; by a rebellious generation as that of Vijpars yest Eu∣ropians / forsoth.

In Equipage (well manned and well provided) may take for the fittest tyme of departure the beginning of the month of march / or the latter end of it / att furthist) to arrive (in fit season) on the coast of America after the rayny months may bee past / which commonly is at the end off may.

The Equipagie must bee a companyed with a barke built at the Bra∣gantyne fashion: fourty footelong / thirteen foot wide / and covered / a convenient Cabin a last / the barke drawing but 3 or 4 foote water / to serve on the Rivers / and may bee provydes with two brasse peeces of ordinance / the sayd Barke must bee put to gether either at the Ey∣land S. Vincent, or at Cajana.

The provisions of Pease / Beanes / and other graynes / or Seedes / must bee fresh / and not off a yeare old.

As for commodities to trafficke with the Inhabitants / Storre off coursse Linnen, made Shirts, woln wascots, and drawers, Felt hots, gray and blacs, Shoes, and all kinde off Sarges for the Eylanders.

But for the Inhabitants off the firme Land Store off Iron Axes, Hat∣chets, Knyfs, with whitte bone handles, figured, strong greate and midle size Hoecks, and Harpoens, Sizars, Razers, off small price, as the Knyffs not exceeding three pence, or a groathe; Beades off all colours, and off an equall sise: No toyes off whissels, and locking glasses, save to give away.

As for necessaries to Planters / Sugar Mills, with theire appartai∣nances, Kettels, Basins, Leadels, and for disteeling off strong waters, (which are as the maine preservatifs) and without which no worke to bee performed in the hott parts.

Theire must bee lykwyse Iron plates for the baking off Casauy, Iron too∣les for cleansing off the grounds, wheel-borrowes, Shuuells, Spades, Picka∣kes, Bricks, to make Hovens, Pan-tyles, Boards, nayles, Bolts, Hinges, Locks, Tents.

• 1. All Planters theire perssons, wyffs, children, and servants, with thei∣re houshold stuff, to bee transported free, paying only nyne pence a day for theire food, to bee bated out off the fruites which thy shall gest out off the ground,
• ...2. The sayd Planters to bee (on the same condition) provided by the Pa∣trons

• ... off the Colonie for the tyme off eight month, untill the grounds shall have produced a groath off the Seedes which the Planters shall have throone theein.
• ...3. As much Land allotted unto Planters as thy shalbe able to mannueer; and whereoff thy fall afterwarts dispose by will, deed, or Contract, as off there one.
• ...4. All Planters shalbee free off taxations, dutyes, and all kinde off rights, for the tyme off ten yeares, and afterwarts pay the tenth.
• ...5. Iff thy discover Mynes off Gold, Siluer, Christall, precious Stones, Marble, Salpeter Fisshing of Perles, or Corall thy shall enjoy them freely, save that after the end of five yeares thy shall pay the tenth.
• ...6. Thy shall have liberty to fish, to hunt, and to cut donne wood for building, and fyring, but not re cust precious wood.
• ...7. Thy shall have as many Slaves as thy will for fiftheen pound a peece, and pay them out off the fruite and Production off the Lands allotted unto them.

Finally / it wilbe very easy for Patrons of such a Plantation to Jud∣ge that thy may doe good profits for theire disbursement on such a dessy∣ne in the a foresayd hot parts of America, and that thy will have greate reason to preferre them before other ordinary wayes to profit by / since thy well knowe what small rents Lands doe yeeld / to what Loue an Ebbe trafficke is in this age / and how by reason of the greate number off men (whoe professe a trade) every trades man is almost reduced to a kinde of Slavery / for that men must worcke frome breake of day un∣till late in the night / as cohabitants in streets where hard trades are practised can witnesse the same / and are early and late a wakned by the noise / when as all Patrons of Plantations may in the aforesayd hot parts of America frome Lands which thy neede not to buy / nor to fyght for (but only settle people on them as thy are of a vast extent) make theire revenue the greater / and by the worth of what thy will produce get more then the treble / nay the quadruple cent per Cent for the stock thy shall pust forth.

Therefore at it is a providence to Imploy a stock of mony on severall things (as to put marchandises in different Vessels) So lords / gent∣lemen / marchants and others may fynde it to bee good husbondry to bestowe some part of what thy can lay assyde to the tryall of this most
