plantation be among ancient primitive and heroical work when the world be  young it beget more child but now it be old it beget few for I may just  account new plantation to be the child of former kingdom I like a plantation  in a pure soil that be where people be not displant to the end to plant in  other for else it be rather a extirpation than a plantation plant of country  be like plant of wood for you must make account to lose almost twenty year  profit and expect your recompense in the end for the principal thing that have  be the destruction of most plantation have be the base and hasty draw of  profit in the first year it be true speedy profit be not to be neglect as far  as may stand with the good of the plantation but no further it be a shameful  and bless thing to take the scum of people and wicked condemn man to be the  people with who you plant and not only so but it spoil the plantation for they  will ever live like rogue and not fall to work but be lazy and do mischief and  spend victual and be quick weary and then certify over to their country to the  discredit of the plantation the people wherewith you plant ought to be  gardener ploughman laborer smith carpenter joiner fisherman foul with some few  apothecary surgeon coke and baker in a country of plantation first look about  what kind of victual the country yield of itself to hand as chestnut walnut  pineapples olive date plum cherry wild honey and the like and make use of they  then consider what victual or esculent thing there be which grow speedy and  within the year as parsnip carrot turnip onion radish artichoke of Jerusalem  maize and the like for wheat barley and oat they ask too much labour but with  pea and bean you may begin both because they ask less labour and because they  serve for meat as well as for breed and of rice likewise come a great increase  and it be a kind of meat above all there ought to be bring store of biscuit  oatmeal flour meal and the like in the beginning till breed may be have for  beast or bird take chief such as be least subject to disease and multiply fast  as swine goat cock hen turkey goose house dove and the like the victual in  plantation ought to be expend almost as in a besiege town that be with certain  allowance and let the main part of the ground employ to garden or corn be to a  common stock and to be lie in and store up and then deliver out in proportion  beside some spot of ground that any particular person will manure for his own  private consider likewise what commodity the soil where the plantation be do  natural yield that they may some way help to defray the charge of the  plantation so it be not as be say to the untimely prejudice of the main  business as it have fare with tobacco in Virginia wood common abound but too  much and therefore timber be fit to be one if there be iron over and stream  whereupon to set the mill iron be a brave commodity where wood abound make of  bay-salt if the climate be proper for it will be put in experience grow silk  likewise if any be be a likely commodity pitch and tar where store of fir and  pine be will not fail so drug and sweet wood where they be can but yield great  profit soap ash likewise and other thing that may be think of but moil not too  much under ground for the hope of i be very uncertain and use to make the  planter lazy in other thing for government let it be in the hand of one assist  with some counsel and let they have commission to exercise martial law with  some limitation and above all let man make that profit of be in the wilderness  as they have God always and his service before their eye let not the  government of the plantation depend upon too many counsellor and undertaker in  the country that plant but upon a temperate number and let those be rather  nobleman and gentleman than merchant for they look ever to the present gain  let there be freedom from custom till the plantation be of strength and not  only freedom from custom but freedom to carry their commodity where they may  make their best of they except there be some special cause of caution cram not  in people by send too fast company after company but rather hearken how they  waste and send supply proportionable but so as the number may live well in the  plantation and not by surcharge be in penury it have be a great endanger to  the health of some plantation that they have build along the sea and river in  marsh and unwholesome ground therefore though you begin there to avoid  carriage and like discommodity yet build still rather upward from the stream  than along it concern likewise the health of the plantation that they have  good store of salt with they that they may use it in their victual when it  shall be necessary if you plant where savage be do not only entertain they  with trifle and jingle but use they just and gracious with sufficient guard  nevertheless and do not win their favour by help they to invade their enemy  but for their defence it be not amiss and send oft of they over to the country  that plant that they may see a better condition than their own and commend it  when they return when the plantation grow to strength then it be time to plant  with woman as well as with man that the plantation may spread into generation  and not be ever piece from without it be the sinful thing in the world to  forsake or destitute a plantation once in forwardness for beside the dishonour  it be the guiltiness of blood of many commiserable person
