to affirm, that the English, Dutch and French return yearly many thousand pounds profit by trade only, from that island on which we are feated. Tobacco may be there planted, but not with that profit as in fome other places, neither were it profitable there to follow it, though the increafe were equal, because fifh is a better and richer commodity, and more neceffary, which may be and there are had in as great abundance as in any other part of the world; witnefs the weft-country mer chants of England, which return incredible gains yearly from thence. And if they can fo do, which here buy their falt at a great charge, and tranfport more company to make their voyage than will fail their fhips, what may the planters expect when once they are feated, and make the most of their falt there, and employ themselves at leaft eight months in fishing, whereas the other fifh but four, and have their fhip lie dead in the harbour all the time, whereas fuch shipping as belong to Plantations may take freight of paffengers or cattle thither, and have their lading provided against they come? I confefs we have come fo far fhort of the means, to raife fuch returns, as with great difficulty we have preferved our lives; infomuch as when I look back upon our condition, and weak means to preserve the fame, I rather admire at God's mercies and providence in our prefervation, than that no greater things have been effected by us. But though our be ginning have been thus raw, fmall and difficult, as thou haft feen, yet the fame God that hath hitherto led us through the former, I hope will raife means to accomplish the latter.
