being at table with vs and eate very soberly but at home in their owne houses as the Brasilians they stretch out their bellies as much as they can and doe not leaue eating as long as there is any meat And if any of ours be at their Tabagie they will bid him doe as they doe Notwithstanding I see no gluttonie like to that of Hercules who alone did eate whole oxen and did deuoure one from a Paisan called Diadamas by reason whereof hee was called Butheues or Buphagos Oxe-eater And without going so far wee see in the Countries of these parts greater gluttonies then that which one would impute to the Sauages For in the diet of Ausbourg was brought to the Emperor Charles the fift a great whoreson which had eaten a calfe and a sheepe and yet was not full And I doe not know that our Sauages doe waxfatte or that they haue great bellies but that they are nimble and swift like to our ancient Gaullois and high Allemans or Germans who by their agilitie did trouble very much the Roman armies The food of the Brasilians are serpents crocodills toads and great lizards which they esteeme as much as wee doe capons leverets and conies They also make meale of white rootes which they call Maniel hauing the leaues of Paeoniamas and the tree of the height of the Elder tree Those rootes as bigge as the thigh of a Man which the woman doe crumble very small and eat them raw or else they make them to seeth well in a great earthen vessell sturring it alwaies as the comfit-makers doe make suger plummes They are of very good taste and of easie disgestion but they be not fitt to make bread because they dry and burne themselues and alwaies return into meale They haue also with this Mahis or Mais which groweth in two or three months after it is sowed and that is a great succour vnto them But they haue a cursed and an vnhumane costome to eat their prisoners after they haue well fatted them Yea a most horrible thing they giue them in marriage the fairest maidens they haue putting about their necks as many halters as they will keep him moons And when the time is expired they make wine of the said Mais and rootes wherewith they make themselues drunke calling all their friends Then he that hath taken him knocketh him on the head with a clubbe and deuideth him into peeces and make carbonnadoes of him which they eat with a singular pleasure aboue all meats in the world Furthermore all Sauages generally doe liue euery where in common the most perfect and most woorthy life of man seeing that he is a sociable creature the life of the ancient golden age which the holy Apostles would haue restored againe But being to establish the spirituall life they could not execute that good desire If it happens then that our Sauages haue venison or other food all the company haue part of it They haue this mutuall charity which hath beene taken away from vs since that Mine and Thine haue come into the world They haue also Hospitality a vertue peculiar to the ancient Gaulois according to the witnesse of Parthenius in his Erotigues of Caesar Saluian and others who did constraine trauellers and strangers to come into their houses and there to take their refreshing A vertue which seemeth to haue conserued her selfe onely with the Nobility and gentry for among the other sort we see her very weake and at the point of death Tacitus giueth the same praise to the Germans saying that with them all howses are opened to strangers and there they are in such assurance that as if they were sacred none dare doe them any injury Charity and Hospitality which are mentioned in the law of God who said to his people The stranger which soiourneth among you shall be vnto you as he which is borne among you and you shall loue him as your selues for you haue beene strangers in the land of Aegypt So doe our Sauages which sturred vp with an humane nature receiue all strangers except their enemies whom they accept in their commonalty of life But we haue spoken enough of eating let vs now speake of drinking I know not whether I ought to place among the greatest blindnesses of the West Indians to haue abundantly the most excellent fruit that God hath giuen vnto vs and they know not the vse thereof For I see that the ancient Romans were a long time as Pliny saith without either Vines or Vine-yards And our Gaulloas did make beere the vse whereof is yet frequent in all Gallia Belgica And this kind of drinke did the Aegyptians also vse in former times as saith Diodorus who attributeth the inuention thereof to Osiris Notwithstanding after that the vse of wine was come among the Romans the Guallois tooke so good a taste in it in the voyages that they made there with their Armies that they continued afterwards the same way And afterward the Italian Merchants did draw much money from the Gaullois with their wine that they brought thither But the Germans knowing their owne nature subiect to drinke more then is needfull would haue none brought to them for feare that being drunke they might be a pray to their enemies and contented themselues with beere And notwithstanding because the continuall drinking of water ingendreth crudities in the stomacke and thereby great indispositions the nations haue commonly found better the moderate vse of wine which hath beene giuen of God to reioyce the heart as bread for to strengthen him as the Psalmist saith And the Apostle S. Paul himselfe doth councell his Disciple Timothy to vse it by reason of his infirmity For wine saith Oribasius recreateth and quickneth our heat whereby by consequence the disgestures are made better and good bloud is engendred and good nourishment thorow all the parts of the body where the wine hath force to pierce and therefore they which be weakened by sicknesse doe recouer by it a stronger being and doe likewise renew by it an appetite to their meat It breaketh the sleame it purgeth collericke humours by the vrine and with his pleasant odour and liuely substance gladdeth the heart of man and giueth strength to the body Wine taken moderatly is the procurer of all those goodeffects but if it be drunke vnmeasuably it produceth effects quite contrary And Plato willing to shew foorth in one word the nature and property of wine That which warmeth saith he beth body and soule is that which is called wine The Sauages which haue no vse of wine nor of spices haue found out another meanes to warme the same stomake and in some sort to breake so many crudities proceeding from the fish that they eat which otherwise would extinguish their naturall heat it is the hearb which the Brasilians doe call Petun that is to say Tabacco the smoake whereof they take almost euery

E LONDINI Impensis GEORGII BISHOP 1609. TO THE BRIGHT STARRE OF THE NORTH HENRY Prince of Great BRITAINE MOst excellent Prince my Author knowing that there are someworks so naturally great of themselues that they challenge the gratious protection of Princes hath offered this his Historie to the Royall patronage of the most Christian King two Queenes and the Dauphin to the end it might stirre them the more to prosecute the populating of the lands heerein described to bring the Naturals thereof Sauage and miserable people to ciuilitie and right knowledge of God and so to the saluation of their soules Assuming the like presumption I haue hoped notwithstanding the defects which necessarily attend a stranger who can neuer attaine the naturall Idiome of this eloquent language that it might not be an iniury to your Highnesse but an addition of Honor and safetie of tbis worke if I should dare to inscribe your Princely name on the forehead thereof Which bouldnesse the noble vndertaking of the English Nation hath nourished who haue so lately begun by the permission and vnder the protection of his excellent Maiestie your most Royall Father to plant Christianitie in Virginia being one continent next adioining land to these For who may better support and manage magnanimous actions such as be the peopling of lands planting of Colories erecting of ciuill Gouernementes and propagating of the Gospell of Christ which are Royall and Princely foundations then those whom the King of Kings hath established as Atlasses of kingdoms Christian common weales God hath necessitated in his Prophecie Kings and Queenes to be nursing Fathers and nursing Mothers of his Church so that he hath not onely committed the gouernment of a ripe and strong body able to subsist but hath imposed the care of the tendernesse and infancie thereof vpon them Alexander being yet young would haue runne in the Olympian games if kings had runne there now Kings doe run now Princes doe worke in the Lords haruest to spread that name which must gather the elect from the vtmost endes of the world if not in their persons yet with their authoritie and meanes I know your Highnesse would not be inferiour but rather excell in so noble an action such an emulation is pleasing to God your birth leadeth vnto it Christian charitie inuiteth you to be chiefe worker in the sauing of millions of soules The necessitie of your Countrie of Great BRITAINE ouer populous doth require it And lastly your poore Virginians doe seeme to implore your Princely aide to helpe them to shake off the yoke of the diuel who hath hitherto made them liue worse then beasts that hencefoorth they may be brought into the fould of Christ and in time to liue vnder your Christian gouernmēt So then hauing thus runne you shall obtaine an euerlasting Crowne of glory being as well planter as defender of the Faith Your Highnesse humblest seruant P. ERONDELLE To the Reader GEntle Reader The whole volume of the Nauigations of the French nation into the West Indies comprised in three bookes was brought to mee to be translated by M. Richard Hackluyt a man who for his worthy and profitable labours is well knowen to most men of worth not onely of this kingdome but also of forrain parts and by him this part was selected and chosen from the whole worke for the particular vse of this Nation to the end that comparing the goodnesse of the lands of the Northerly parts heerein mentioned with that of Virginia which though in one and the selfe same continent and both lands adioyning must be far better by reason it stands more Southerly neerer to the Sunne greater encouragement may be giuen to prosecute that generous and godly action in planting and peopling that Country to the better propagation of the Gospel of Christ the saluation of innumerable soules and generall benefit of this land too much pestred with ouer many people Which translation as I haue said is but a part of a greater volume If therefore you finde that some references of things mentioned in the former part of the said volume are not to be found in this translation do not thinke it strange in asmuch as they could not wel be brought in except the whole volume should be translated which of purpose was left vndone as well to auoid your farther charges as because it was thought needlesse to translate more then concerneth that which adioyneth to Virginia What good the English Nation may reape of this worke by the onely description that is found therein of Nations Ilands Harbours Bayes Coasts Riuers Rockes Shoulds Sands Bankes and other dangers which the Saylers into those parts may now the more easily finde and auoid by the knowledge that this translation giueth them of it let the Nauigators iudge therof who for want of such knowledge haue found themselues in euident perill of death and many altogether cast away If a man that sheweth foorth effectually the zealous care he hath to the well-fare and common good of his country deserueth praises of the same I refer to the iudgement of them that abhor the vice of ingratitude hatefull aboue all to God goodmen whether the said M. Hackluyt as well for the first procuring of this translation as for many workes of his set out by him for the good and euerlasting fame of the English Nation deserueth not to reape thankes As for this my labour if it be censured fauorably and my good affection in vndertaking the translating of this worke for the benefit of this land taken in good part it will encourage me to endeauour my selfe to doe better heereafter The Table of the contents of the Chapters The first Booke WHerein are described the three late Voiages Nauigations and Plantation of New France otherwise called La Cadia by Monsieur de Monts Monsieur du Pont-grauè and Monsieur de Poutrincourt CHAP.

signe of diuinitie in a mortall man to helpe and aide an other mortall man These people then enioying the fruits of the vse of trades and tillage of the ground will beleeue all that shall be told them in auditum auris at the first voice that shal sound in their eares and of this haue I certain proofes because I haue knowen them wholly disposed thereunto by the communication they had with vs and there bee some of them that are Christians in minde do performe the acts of it in such wise as they can though they be not baptised among whom I will name Chkoudun Captaine alias Sagamos of the riuer of Saint Iohn mentioned in the beginning of this worke who whensoeuer he eateth lifteth vp his eies to heauen and maketh the signe of the crosse because he hath seene vs doe so yea at our praiers he did kneele downe as we did And because he hath seene a great crosse planted neere to our fort he hath made the like at his house and in all his cabins and carieth one at his brest saying that he is no more a Sauage and acknowledging plainly that they are beasts so hee saith in his language but that he is like vnto vs desiring to be instructed That which I say of this man I may affirme the same almost of all the others And though he should be alone yet hee is capable being instructed to bring in all the rest The Armouchiquois are a great people which haue likewise no adoration and being setled because they manure the ground one may easily make a congregation of them and exhort them to that which is for their saluation They are vicious and bloody men as we haue said heeretofore but this insolencie proceeds for that they feele themselues strong by reason of their multitude and because they liue more at ease than the others reaping the fruits of the earth Their countrie is not yet well knowen but in that small part that wee haue discouered I finde they haue conformitie with them of Virginia except in the superstition error in that which concerneth our subiect for as much as the Virginians doe begin to haue some opinion of a superior thing in nature which gouerneth heere this world They beleeue in many gods as an English Historian that dwelt there reporteth which they call Montóac but of sundry sorts and degrees One alone is chiefe and great who hath euer beene who purposing to make the world made first other gods for to be meanes and instruments wherewith he might serue himselfe in the Creation and in the gouernment Then afterwards the Sunne the Moone and the Starres as demy gods and instruments of the other Principall order They hold that the woman was first made which by coniunction with one of the gods had children All these people doe generally beleeue the immortality of the soule and that after death good men are in rest and the wicked in paine Now them that they esteeme to be the wicked are their enemies and they the good men In such sort that in their opinion they shall all after death be well at ease and specially when they haue well defended their country and killed many of their enemies And as touching the resurrection of the bodies there are yet some nations in those parts that haue some glimpse of it For the Virginians doe tell tales of certaine men risen againe which say strange things As of one wicked man who after his death had beene neere to the mouth of Popogusso which is their Hell but a god saued him and gaue him leaue to come againe into the world for to tell his friends what they ought to doe for to auoide the comming into this miserable torment Item that yeare that the English men were there it came to passe within 60. leagues off from them as said the Virginians that a body was vnburied like to the first and did shew that being dead in the pit his soule was aliue and had trauelled very farre thorow a long and large way on both sides of which did grow very faire and pleasant trees bearing the rarest fruits that can be seene and that in the end he came to very faire houses neere to the which he found his father which was dead who expresly commanded him to returne backe and to declare vnto his frinds the good which it behooued them to doe for to enioy the pleasures of this place And that after he had done his message he should come thither againe The generall History of the West Indies reporteth that before the comming of the Spaniards into Perou they of Cusco and thereabout did likewise beleeue the resurrection of the bodies For seeing that the Spaniards with a cursed auarice opening the sepulchers for to haue the gold and the riches that were in them did cast and scatter the bones of the dead heere and there they praied them not to scatter them so to the end that the same should not hinder them from rising againe which is a more perfect beleefe than that of the Sadduces and of the Greekes which the Gospell and the Acts of the Apostles witnesse vnto vs that they scoffed at the resurrection as also almost all the heathen antiquity hath done Some of our Westerne Indians expecting this resurrection haue esteemed that the soules of the good did got into heauen them of the wicked into a great pit or hole which they thinke to be far off towards the Sunne setting which they call Popogusso there to burne for euer and such is the beleefe of the Virginians The others as the Brasilians that the wicked goe with Aignan which is the euill spirit that tormenteth them but as for the good that they went behinde the Mountaines to dance and make good cheere with their fathers Many of the ancient Christians grounded vpon certaine places of Esdras of S. Paul and others haue thought that after death our soules were sequestred into places vnder the earth as in Abrahams bosome attending the iudgement of God And there Origen hath thought that they are as in a Schoole of soules and place of instruction where they learne the causes and reasons of the things they haue seene on the Earth and by reasoning make iudgements of consequences of things past and of things to come But such opinions haue beene reiected by the resolution of the Doctours of Sorbone in the time of King Philip the faire and since by the Councell of Florence Now if the Christians haue held that opinion is it much to these poore Sauages to bee entred in those opinions that we haue recited of them As concerning the worshipping of their gods of all them that be out of the Spanish dominion I finde none but the Virginians that vse any diuine seruice vnlesse we will also comprehend therein that which the Floridians doe which we will recite heereafter They then represent their gods in the shape of a man which they call
