442 ADVICE TO SIR GEORGE VILLIERS. 



tations abroad, who are known schismatics, out 

 laws, or criminal persons, that they be sent for 

 back upon the first notice ; such persons are not fit 

 to lay the foundation of a new colony. 



3. To make no extirpation of the natives under 

 pretence of planting religion : God surely will no 

 way be pleased with such sacrifices. 



4. That the peeple sent thither be governed 

 according to the laws of this realm, whereof they are, 

 and still must be subjects. 



5. To establish there the same purity of reli 

 gion, and the same discipline for Church govern 

 ment, without any mixture of popery or anabaptism, 

 lest they should be drawn into factions and schisms, 

 and that place receive them there bad, and send 

 them back worse. 



6. To employ them in profitable trades and ma 

 nufactures, such as the clime will best fit, and such 

 as may be useful to this kingdom, and return to 

 them an exchange of things necessary. 



7. That they be furnished and instructed for the 

 military part, as they may defend themselves ; lest, 

 on a sudden, they be exposed as a prey to some other 

 nation, when they have fitted the colony for them. 



8. To order a trade thither, and thence, in such 

 a manner as some few merchants and tradesmen, 

 under colour of furnishing the colony with necessa 

 ries, may not grind them, so as shall always keep 

 them in poverty* 



9. To place over them such governors as may 

 be qualified in such manner as may govern the place, 

 and lay the foundation of a new kingdom.
