The rich Furres, Caviary, and Cordage, which we draw from _Russia_ with so great difficulty, are to be had in _Virginia_, and the parts adjoining, with ease and plenty. The Masts, Planckes, and Boords, the Pitch and Tarre, the Pot-ashes and Sope-ashes, the Hempe and Flax (being the materials of Linnen) which now we fetch from _Norway_, _Denmarke_, _Poland_, and _Germany_, are there to be had in abundance and great perfection. The _Iron_, which hath so wasted our _English_ Woods,[14] that it selfe in short time must decay together with them, is to be had in _Virginia_ (where wasting of Woods is a benefit) for all good conditions answerable to the best in the world. The Wines, Fruite, and Salt of _France_ and _Spaine_, The Silkes of _Persia_ and _Italie_, will be found also in _Virginia_, and in no kinde of worth inferior. Wee omit here a multitude of other naturall Commodities, dispersed up and downe the divers parts of the world: of Woods, Rootes, and Berries, for excellent Dyes: Of Plants and other Drugges, for Physicall service: Of sweet Woods, Oyles, and Gummes, for pleasure and other use: Of Cotton-wooll, and Sugar-Canes: all which may there also be had in abundance, with an infinity of other more: And will conclude with these three, Corne, Cattle, and Fish, which are the substance of the foode of man. The Graines of our Countrey doe prosper there very well: Of Wheate they have great plenty: But their _Maze_, being the naturall Graine of that Countrey, doth farre exceede in pleasantnesse, strength, and fertility. The Cattle which we have transported thither (being now growne neere to five hundred) become much bigger of Body then the breed from which they came: The Horses also more beautifull, and fuller of courage. And such is the extraordinary fertility of that _Soyle_, that the _Does_ of their _Deere_ yeelde two Fawnes at a birth, and sometimes three. The Fishings at _Cape Codd_, being within those Limits, will in plenty of Fish be equall to those of _Newfound Land_, and in goodnesse and greatnesse much superiour. To conclude, it is a Countrey, which nothing but ignorance can thinke ill of, and which no man but of a corrupt minde and ill purpose can defame.
