also in the Woods; multitudes of Rasberies, Strawberies, Barberies, Cranberies, with infinite of all sorts of Hearbs; the best Garden in England affords not better.

In Orchards all sorts of Apple-Trees, Pear-Trees, Quince, Peach, Apricocks, Cherries, Figg-Trees, and Vines; Gardens as good as England affords for flowers, hearbs and roots of all sorts; with Colworts, Musmillions, Cuccumbers, Watermillions, May-cocks, Hornes, Peshaues, Rose-Trees, sweet-Bryers, and many things more.

There is a Root common in the Woods called Tuckaho, the Natives eat it for bread; our swine eat it; with Acorns and Nuts of all sorts, they are Fat; and is the sweetest Bacon that ever man tasted.

The planters feed not their Swine nor Cattle, but kill them fat out of the Woods.

There is Fullers-Earth, Marle, Salt-peter, Iron, Stone, Lead, Tin and Silver Oar.

There is plenty of English graine, as Wheat, Barley, Beanes, Peas and Oats.

The ground is very fruitful, and produceth plentiful Crops with great speed, what ever is planted or Sown; as for example, one careful laborious man will plant, tend, and get in 50. barrels of Indian Wheat, without the help of Man, Horse or Oxe; each barrel is five English bushels. And if the stone or seed of any fruit be sown, it will bear the third year without grafting; each Planter makes great Crops of Tobacco; the Western limits of the Land are unknown In Mary-Land; their Religion is free to all that profess to believe in Jesus Christ.

FINIS.

Simple Cobler

OF

AGGAWA M in America

WILLING

To help Mend his Native Country, lamentably tattered, both in the upper-Leather

and sole, with all the honest stitches he can take.

And as willing never to be paid for his work by Old English wonted pay.

It is his Trade to patch all the year long, gratis.

Therefore

I Pray Gentlemen keep your Purses.

By Theodore de la Guard.

The Fifth Edition, with some Amendments.

In rebus arduis ac tenai spe, fortissima
quæque consilia tutissima sunt. Cic.
In English,

When boots and shoes are torn up to the lefts,
Coblers must thrust their awles up to the hefts.
This is no time to fear Appelles gramm:
Ne Sutor quidem ultra crepidam.
