THE ENGLISH VOYAGES 



The 24. of August, after we had satisfied our minds 

 with fraight sufficient for our vessels, though not our 

 covetous desires with such knowledge of the Countrey, 

 people, and other commodities as are before rehearsed, 

 we departed therehence. The 17. of September we fell 

 with the lands end of England, and so sailed to Milford 

 Haven, from whence our Generall rode to the Court for 

 order, to what Port or Haven to conduct the ship. 



We lost our two Barkes in the way homeward, the 

 one the 29. of August, the other the 31. of the same 

 moneth, by occasion of great tempest and fogge. How- 

 beit God restored the one to Bristowe, and the other 

 made his course by Scotland to Yermouth. In this 

 voyage we lost two men, one in the way by Gods 

 visitation, and the other homeward cast over borde with 

 a surge of the sea. 



I Could declare unto the Readers, the latitude and 

 longitude of such places and regions as we have bene 

 at, but not altogether so perfectly as our masters and 

 others, with many circumstances of tempests and other 

 accidents incident to Sea faring men, which seeme not 

 altogether strange, but I let them passe to their reports 

 as men most apt to set forth and declare the same. I 

 have also left the names of the Countreys on both the 

 shores untouched, for lacke of understanding the peoples 

 language : as also for sundry respects, not needfull as 

 yet to be declared. 



Countreys new discovered where commoditie is to be 

 looked for, doe better accord with a new name given by 

 the discoverers, then an uncertaine name by a doubtfull 

 Authour. 



Our general named sundry Islands, Mountaines, Capes, 

 and Harboroughs after the names of divers Noble men 

 and other gentlemen his friends, aswel on the one shore 

 as also on the other.
