This Isle is very hott especially for 8 months yet not so but that Travel and Labour is sufferable but were it not for the cool breezes of Winde which Riseth with the Sun and bloweth fresher as the Sun mounteth up it would be unsufferable And these Breezes always blow from North-East and by East unless it be in the time of the Turnado and then for a few hours it chopps into the South but returns to the same point again And it is observed that although the people do so much sweat yet they have not that faintness as with us in the months of July and August neither are they so thirsty without occasioned by excess of Labour or Drinking of strong Liquors which the People are here too much addicted unto to their great hurt which if moderately taken would be as great a preservative to comfort their inward parts which are left cold and faint through their sweating Besides our bodies being accustomed to colder Climates our spirits are not so vigorous without them in a moderate manner The Air though hot is very moist which causeth all Iron-tools as Knives Swords Locks Keys c. to rust so that without constant usage they will soon become eaten up with rust And this great heat and moisture doth cause the Plants and Trees to grow so large and high Their Fruits Here are abundance of Fruits of several sorts as Dates Orenges of two sorts the one sweet and the other sharp Pomgranates Citrons Limes Lemons Macows Grapes Juneper-Apples Papayers Momins Monbains Acajous Icacos Cherries Raysins Indian Figgs Cocos Plantins Bonanoes Guavers Prickle-Apples Prickle-Pears Custard-Apples Millons both land and water and Pine-Apples the rarest Fruit in the Indies Their Fish Here are great store of Fish in the Sea as Snappers Crabs Lobsters Terbums Macquerels Mullots Cavallos Parrat-Fish Cony-Fish and green Turtles which of all others are the most delicious with several other sorts appropriated to this and the rest of the Caribbee Isles But the Rivulets or Ponds have few or no Fish in them Their Beasts Here are no Beasts or Cattel but what are Tame and brought them as Camels Horses Assinegroes Oxen Bulls Cowes Sheep and Goats and Hoggs which are here in great plenty in every Plantation it being their common food whose Flesh is esteemed very good and delicious but as for Beef and Mutton it is very dear as having but a small stock but might be soon encreased would they spare ground enough for Pasturage for them from their other occasions Their Herbs and Roots Here groweth divers sorts of English hearbs and roots as Rosemary Lavender Lavender-Cotton Mar●erom Winter-Savory Time Parsley Tansey Sage Purcelane c. and for Roots Cabages Colworths Collyflowers Turnips Potatoes Onyons Garlick Radishes Lettice Taragon Marigolds c.

Places of Name along the Sea-Coast of this Isle begining Easterly and so encompassing the Isle are as followeth Fowl-Bay Austins-Bay Maxwells-Bay where there is a small Isle Blackrock The Hole Spikes-Bay Balises-Bay Long-Bay Clarks-Bay and Constance-Bay The Inhabitants The Inhabitants of this Isle may be Ranged under 3 heads or sorts to witt Masters which are English Scotch and Irish with some few Dutch French and Jews Christian Servants and Negro-Slaves And these three sorts are exceeding numerous for according to a Calculation not long since made the Masters and Servants did amount to about 50000 and the Negroes to about double the number The Masters for the most part live at the height of Pleasure The Servants at the expiration of 5 years become Freemen of the Island and employ their times according to their abilities and capacities either to get a small Plantation or to work at day-labour in other Plantations or else to exercise their Trades if so capacitated The Negro-Slaves are never out of their Bondage and the Children they get are likewise perpetual Slaves They have but mean allowance of dyet cloaths and lodging and although held to such hard Labour and so ill treated yet are they well contented with their Conditions and if their Master is but any thing kind they think nothing too much to be done for them and therefore 't is great pity to wrong such poor Creatures The chiefest Stock of a Planter consists in his Servants and Slaves but especially the Slaves who are more numerous And these they Buy on Shipboard as men Buy Horses in a Fayr and according as they are handsome lusty well-shapen and young either the men or women they give more or less the general Rates for the Christian-servants being about 10 l. but if one that hath a good Trade as a Carpenter Joyner Smith or the like then far more Likewise a Female that is young and handsome is highe● valued The general Rate for the better sort of Negro-men is 20 l. or 25 sl sterling and for Women about 15 l. for the encrease of stock of Negroes they generally take as many Men as Women The Maintenance of the Servants and Slaves The Maintenance of the Servants and Negro-Slaves as to their Dyet Apparrel and Lodging is very inconsiderable For their Food they are contented from weeks-end to weeks-end with Potatoes Loblolly made of beaten Maize mixt with water Cassader-bread common in all the Indies Bonavist and such like food that the Plantation affordeth as for Meat they are seldome troubled with it except at Christmas Easter and Whitsontide and they have Hoggs-flesh according to the custome of the Island but of late the servants are allowed weekly a small quantity of Swines-Flesh or salted Flesh or Fish and when any of the Cattle dye of any distemper or by accident it is given to the Negroes who feed like Princes on it Their Drinks are Mobbie made of Potatoes soaked in water Perino made of Casavie-Root and water Crippo Kill-Devil Punch made of water and Sugar Plantin-drink made of Plantins and water Beveridge made of Spring-water Sugar and the juyce of Orenges and wine of Pines which is only made of the juyce of the Fruit which is exceeding good and delicious but this sort as also the Beveridge and Punch the servants are not much troubled with But as for the Master-Planters Merchants Factors and Strangers their Faire is far otherwise having their curious-made Dishes as Custards Cheese-cakes Tansies also Sturgeon Anchoves Caviare Botardo Neates-Tongues besides Poultrey Fish Fowl Mutton Beef Kid Porke Beans Pease several Roots and other good Dishes And besides the several sorts of Liquors already named Wines Strong waters Brandy and English-Beer so that they find no want and do not consider the condition of those poor wretches their Servants and Slaves who are constrained to so hard a labour The Apparrel they allow their Servants yearly for the men are 6 pair of Drawers 12 pair of Shoos 3 Monmouth-Caps 6 Shirts and for the women 4 Smocks 3 Petticoats 4 Coifes and 12 paire of Shoos besides a Rug-Gown to each to keep them warm in the night and to put on them when they come sweating from their labour To the Negro-men they allow but 3 pair of Canvas-Drawers and to the Women but three Petticoats But for themselves especially the better sort they are exceeding profuse and costly The Lodging of these poor wretches is worst of all for having laboured all the day in so hot a Countrey without any nourishing Dyet at night they must be contented to lye hard on nothing but a board without any Coverled in their Hutts or rather Hogsties but Christian Servants are something better Treated being allowed Hamocks Every Sunday which is the only day of Rest and should be set apart for the service of God they employ either in the getting of the Bark of Trees and making of Ropes with it which they Truck away for Shirts Drawers and the like or else spend the day in Recreation as Dancing and Wrestling which they much delight in though they are no great Proficients in either for in their Dancing they use antick actions their hands having more of motion than their feet and their head than either nor do the men and women Dance together but apart the Musique to which they Dance being a sort of Kettle-drums one bigger than another which makes a strange and various noise but whither Harmonious I leave to the judgment of the Reader It is thought by many that the Christians should be in danger of being murthered by the Negro-Slaves who so much over-top them in number and the rather for that they are so cruelly used and for that reason many are fearful to venture to dwell here But this Objection may be thus answered that first they are such as were brought from several parts of Africa and do not understand one anothers Language and then they are stir'd up with an inb-read hatred against one another it being the custome in those parts for several petty Kings to go to Wars against one another and the Prisoners that are taken of each side they sell unto us and other European Nations that come to Traffique with them also they are not permitted to touch

Baltemore obtained a Patent of part of New-found-land which was erected into a Province and called Avalon where he caused a Plantation to be setled and a stately House and Fort to be built at Ferryland and afterwards Transported himself and Family thither and continuing the Plantation by his Deputy till by descent after his Lordships decease it came to his son and heir the Right Honorable Caecilius now Lord Baltemore who by Deputies from time to time was no less careful to preserve his Interest there which though during the late troubles in England it was by Sir David Kirkes means for some years discontinued he was soon reinvested in the same by his Majesties most happy Restauration There is no part of New-found-land generally more happy for multiplicity of excellent Bayes and Harbours then this Province and where vast quantities of Fish are yearly caught by the English especially at Ferryland and the Bay of Bulls But the whole Coast of the Island affords infinite plenty of Codd and Poor-John which is the chief Commodity of the Isle which is grown to a setled Trade for these many years to the enrichment of all those that Trade thither A great bank of Land East of Newfoundland over against Cape-Ray at the distance of about 70 miles lyeth a great Bank of Land of about 300 miles in Length and not above Seventy-five in Breadth where broadest It lyes under the Sea many Fathoms deep so the Ships of a considerable Burthen may ride over it and about this Banck lyes dispersed several small Isles called by St. Sebastion Cabot the first discoverer Los Baccaloos or the Isles of Cod-fish from the prodigious quantities of Cod-Fish there found which were said to obstruct ●he passage of his Vessels The Trade to this Island The French Dutch Biscaners and other Nations that yearely Trade hither amounting to between 3 or 400 Vessels are assured to find sufficient Freight of Cod and Poor John which they find good vent for in the Streights Spaine France and other Countreys to their great profit and encouragement And were the English diligent to inspect the advantage that might accrue to this Nation by settling Plantations on the Island and raising Fortifications for the security of the place we might give Law to all forreigners that come to Fish there and in few Years engross the whole Fishery to our selves the greatest Ballance perchance of Forraigne Trade FINIS It s Scituation It s Form Extent It s Soyl and Fertility Savanas formerly Fields of Indian Maiz.
