SherrVs Camry^Red fackjvvine of Fiall^vvith all Spirits th^t come from 

 England ^ and with all this,you fhall find as chearful a look^arid as hearty 

 n, welcome, as any man caw give to his befl: friendsi And fo much for 

 a Feaftofan inland Plantdtiori. 



Now for a Plantation near the Sea, which fliall Be Collonel Wal- 

 rond's^ hebcingthebeftfeated for aPeaft, ofanylknow : Imiiftfay 

 this, that though he be wanting in the firft Courfe, which is Beef 5 

 yet, it will be plentifully (upplyed inthelaft, which isFiOi^ and that 

 the other wants. And though Collonel IValrond^ have not that infinite 

 ilore of the provifions Colldnel Drax abounds in ^ yet, he is not wan- 

 ting in all the kinds he has, unlels it be Sheep, Goats, and Beef, and 

 fo for all the forts of meats, that are in my Bill of Fare, in Gollonel 

 jDr^x his Feaft, you fhall find the lame in Collonel Wdronds^ except 

 thefe three, and thefc are fupplyed with all thefe forts of filh I (hall 

 tiame, to wit. Mullets ^MucqitzrcU^ rarratfip^Sm^pers^ red and grey, 

 Cavallos^ Terhnms^ Crubs^ Lohjhrs^ and Co^ij fijh^ with diVers forts more, 

 for which we have no namesi And having thefe rare kinds of fifhes, 

 'twere a vain fupcrtiuity, to make ufeof allthofcdifhes I have named 

 before, but only fuch as (hall fer veto fill up the Table, and when he 

 has the ordering it, you muft exped to have it excellent 5 his fancy 

 and contrivance of a Feaft, being as far beyond any mlnsther(^, as the 

 place where hedv/ells is better fcituate, for fuch apurpofe. And his 

 Land touching the Sea, his Houfe being not half a quarter of a mile 

 from it, and notinterpdfed by any unlevel ground, all rarities that 

 are brought to the Kland, from any part ofthe world, are taken up, 

 brought to him, and flowed in his Cellars, in two hours time.and that 

 in thenight 5 as, Wine, of all kinds, Oyl, Olives, Capers, Sturgeon, 

 Neats tongues, Anchovies, Caviare, Botargo, with all forts of falted 

 tricars, both fleOi and fi(h for his Family, as, Beef, Voxk^ EngliJI) 

 Peafcj Ling, Habcrciine, Cod, Poor John, and Jerkin Beef, which is 

 hufied, and dafht through, hungup and dryed in the Sun 5 tto fait at 

 all put to it; And thus ordered in Hiffaniola^ as hot a place as Barba- 

 dods^ and yet it will keep longer than powdred Beef, and is as dry as 

 Stock-fifh, aiid juftfuch meat for flefh, asthat is for fifh , and as little 

 nourifhmentin it^ butit fills the belly, andferves the turn, whereno 

 otlfer.meatis. Though fome of thefe hiay be brought to the inland 

 Plantations well conditioned j yet, the Wines cannot poffibly come 

 good 3 for the v/ayes are fiiich, as nd Carts can pafs 5 and to bring up a 

 ButtofSack-ora Hoglhead of any other Wine, upon Negroes backs, 

 will very hardly be done inanight, folongatime it requires, to hand 

 itupanddoWn theGuIlies^ and if it be carried in the day-time, the 

 Sun will heat and taint it , fb as it will lofc much of his fpirit and pure 

 taffc 5 and if it be drawn out in bottles at theSridge, the fpirits fly away 

 in the drawing, and you fhall find a very great difference in the 

 tafte and quickneis of it. Oyle will endure the Carriage better than 

 Wine, but over-much heat will abate fomething of the purity and 

 qxcellent tafte it has naturally. And for Olives, 'tis well known, that 

 jogging in the carriage caufes them to bruife one another 3 and fbme 

 of them being bruifed, will grow rotten, and infed the fefl. So that 

 Wine, Oyle, and OliVcs, cannot poflTibly be brought to fuch Planta- 

 tions, as arc eight or ten miles from the.Br/dgc-^ and from thence, the 

 moft part of thefe commodities are to be fetched. So that you may
