LONDON Printed by William Iones for Thomas Paine and are to bee sold in Trinitie Lane at the signe of the Horse-shooe 1632. A PVBLICATION OF GVIANA'S PLANTATION To all faithfull and well affected Christians FOR as much as diverse of this Nation are departed hence into forraine Countries as well for the propagating of Gods truth most likely as their owne private benefite whereby the word of the Lord might bee fulfilled in those Heathen through Gods infinite goodnes mercy as in us Christians formerly saying I will call them my people which were not my people and her beloved which was not beloved and it shall be in the place where it was said unto them yee are not my people that there they shall be called the children of the living God Neither is it to be doubted but that there are divers yet remaining which retaine the like Christian resolution but want of true knowledge of a plantation that may proove profitable to the Church of God them-themselves causeth such to live heere like plants which many times prove lesse fruitfull in their naturall soile then when they are removed to places better liking them for which cause I have thought good at this present to discover briefly to all such as are wel affected the knowledge of a most hopefull plantation newly undertaken by the right honorable the Earle of Barkeshire Knight of the most noble order of the Garter and company for that famous river of the Amazones in America as by that which followeth may appeare But before I proceede further herein I thinke it not amisse to speake somewhat of the lawfullnesse of plantations in forraine countries whereby such as make doubt thereof may be beetter satisfied herewith Now in plantations there are these two principalls to be considered first whether it be lawfull to remove from one place or countrey to another secondly whether it be lawfull to possesse a countrey already inhabited by others touching the former it hath these two severall heads namely ordinary and extraordinary extraordinary is that when God shall please immediately to cause any man to depart from one country to another as hee caused Abraham to depart from Haran to Canaan and Iacob to returne from Padan Aram to the land of his fathers but no man may now expect any such removall and calling as these formerly had The latter of these which I call ordinary is that when men shall be either moved themselves or by others to leave their ancient habitation and goe and inhabite some other place and this I take to be warrantable from that place of the Kings where the children of the Prophets said unto Elisha ☞ Behold now the place where wee dwell with thee is too narrow for us Let us goe now to Iordan that wee may take thence every man a beame and make us a place to dwell in and hee answered goe and one said vouchsafe I pray thee to goe with thy servants and hee said I will goe so he went with them and when they came to Iordan they cut downe wood Which worke of theirs without question was no other to them then a new plantation for they seing the inconvenience that was like to ensue by staying longer in their ancient habitation did thereupon remove to a place more spacious and commodious for them ☞ In which progresse of theirs wee may learne not to conceale any thing to our selves which may as well prove profittable to others but discover the same for their good as doubtlesse the Children of the Prophets heere did From hence then wee may gather th● men may lawfully remoove with their familyes from one place to another and that for divers causes as here the Children of the Prophets did by reason of the straitnesse of the land wherein they dwelt and it is to be feared that many also among us have as great cause to doe the like by reason of the daily increasing of all sorts of people whereby cittyes townes and countries are so thronged that men can hardly live well one by another appeareth by the generall complaint of many in these times Neither hath the sayd straitnesse alone caused a removall from one place or Country to another but also famine sword and other alterations happenning in the world And to speake truely if that some in all ages had not departed into other countries with their families as God was pleased to moove them by his divine providence the world assuredly had not beene so much inhabited abroad as now it is and men had beene more burthened at home then now they are therefore such men deserve rather to be commended then condemned by any ☞ that because they do nothing herein but what God hath commanded to be done as appeareth Gen. 1. 28. Bring forth fruit and multiply and fill the earth and this againe is ratified to Noah and his sons saying bring forth fruite and multiply and replenish the earth which places being no way contradicted in all the scriptures as I coulde ever perceive are sufficient to proove the Lawfulnesse of plantations in all ages And the rather when Kings shal bee likewise pleased to allow the same freedome to their naturall subiects and that not onely to the poore but also to the rich who have the like priviledge of removal as appeareth by the places before mentioned and by that of Abraham and Lot who departed one from the other because the Land wherein they dwelt were so strait that it could not beare them by reason their substance was so great So then wee see all men have a like liberty of removing from one place to another excepting such onely which for the time being have any office or shall bee married in which case men ought not to depart from their wives without consent nor children from their parents without their liking nor servants from their Masters without their leave It remayneth in the next place that I shew the lawfulnesse of possessing a countrey already inhabited by others which is our second question
