fish, flesh, graine, fruites, herbes and rootes, or so many 

 of those as may suffice very necessitie for the life of 

 such as shall plant there. And for the possessing of 

 mines of golde, of silver, copper, quicksilver, or of any 

 such precious thing, the wants of those needfull things 

 may be supplyed from some other place by sea, &c. 



Stone to make Lyme of, 

 Slate stone to tyle withall, or 



such clay as maketh tyle, 

 Stone to wall withall, if 



Brycke may not bee made, 

 Timber for buylding easely to 



be conveied to the place, 

 Reede to cover houses or 



such like, if tyle or slate

are to be looked for 

 as things without 

 which no Citie may 

 be made nor people 

 in civil sort be kept 

 together. 



The people there to plant and to continue are eyther 

 to live without traffique, or by traffique and by trade 

 of marchandise. If they shall live without sea traffique, 

 at the first they become naked by want of linnen and 

 woollen, and very miserable by infinite wants that will 

 otherwise ensue, and so will they be forced of them- 

 selves to depart, or else easely they will be consumed 

 by the Spanyards, by the Frenchmen, or by the naturall 

 inhabitants of the countrey, and so the enterprize be- 

 comes reprochfull to our Nation, and a let to many 

 other good purposes that may be taken in hand. 



And by trade of marchandise they can not live, ex- 

 cept the Sea or the Land there may yeelde commoditie. 

 And therefore you ought to have most speciall regard 

 of that poynt, and so to plant, that the naturall com- 

 modities of the place and seate may draw to you accesse 

 of Navigation for the same, or that by your owne 

 Navigation you may cary the same out, and fetch home 

 the supply of the wants of the seate. 



Such Navigation so to be employed shall, besides the 

 supply of wants, be able to encounter with forreine force.
