A DECLARATION of the state of the Colonie and Affaires in VIRGINIA With a Relation of the barbarous Massacre in the time of peace and League treacherously executed vpon the English by the natiue Infidels 22 March last ALthough there haue been many and sundry Treatises writ of Virginia and the Commodities thereof whereat malitious men may take occasion to cauill but godly men will finde good cause to praise the Almighty whose wonders are seene in the deepe through the which we haue sailed to the discouery of this good Land Yet I haue not thought it amisse since I am to expresse some late Accidents before-hand to summe vp the benefits of that Countrey partly because they daily encrease by new Discoueries made to the glory of our most gratious King and euer renowned to all posteritie for the founding and supporting of this most Royall and blessed work of Plantation to the great honor wealth and happinesse of his most famous Kingdomes and partly because such is the customary daintinesse of Readers that they seldome take the paines to gather together all that hath beene written of any subiect that so they might take the whole businesse into their consideration which is the onely way to make a true iudgement but vsually content themselues with one or two Bookes set out occasionally and with reference to some former Treatises whereby they gaine but a lame and parcell-knowledge and so oftentimes both preiudice themselues and the truth THE Countrey called VIRGINIA so named by the late Virgin-Queene Elizabeth of blessed memory being the rightfull inheritance of his Maiesty as being first discouered at the costs and charges of that most prudent Prince of famous memory King Henry the Seauenth his Maiesties great Grand-father The Patent whereof still extant to be seene was granted to Iohn Cabot and diuers other of his subiects who went thither with sixe Saile of Ships and discouered as farre as from Cape Florida to New-found-land all along the Coast and tooke possession thereof to the Kings vse about that time when Ferdinando and Isabella discouered the Westerne Indies by which title of first discouery the King of Portugal and Spaine hold and enioy their ample and rich Kingdomes in their Indies East West A coast where King Edward the Sixt after planted his fishing to the New-found-land by publike Act in Parliament and of which Philip Amadas and Arthur Barlow tooke againe possession to the vse of the late Qu●ene Elizabeth and after them Sir Richard Greenfield Sir Ralph Lane and Sir Walter Rawleigh at what time seuerall Colonies were there placed And since his Maiesties most happy comming to the Crowne being an absolute King of three of the most populous Kingdomes which Charles the Fift was wont to tearme Officina gentium the shop or forge of men finding his Subiects to multiply by the blessed peace they enioy vnder his happy gouernment did out of his high wisedome and Princely care of the good of his Subiects grant a most gratious Patent to diuers Honourable persons and others of his louing Subiects authorizing them thereby to goe on in the Plantation of this his lawfull and rightfull Kingdome of VIRGINIA which by the blessing of Almighty God is growne to good perfection THis spatious and fruitful Country of VIRGINIA is as is generally knowne to all naturally rich and exceedingly well watered very temperate and
