jealous of their Wives, by report much addicted to Soothsaying, though otherwise having little of Religion, or of any other kind of Learning; they dwell for the most part in Caves under Ground, feed chiefly upon Fish, and are accounted most expert Archers. Whatever places the _French_ have built here besides, those of chiefest note are _St. Maries_, _Cabo Marzo_, and _Brest_. SECT. IV. Canada, or New France. [Sidenote: Situation.] _Canada_, as it is taken for one and the same Province with _New France_, contains _New France_, properly so call’d, _Nova Scotia_, _Norumbega_, and some adjoyning Islands, as the _Canada_ of _Cluverius_, lying more North-Westerly, comprehends (as we have already intimated) _Estotiland_, _Laboratoris_, and _Corterealis_, and, according to the most modern Division (for that of _Cluverius_ neither consents with the latest Authors, nor agrees with exact Survey, it being nam’d _Canada_, in respect the River _Canada_ runs through it) hath on the North _Terra Corterealis_, on the South _New England_, and on the East the Ocean, and hath between forty five and fifty two or fifty three Degrees of Northern Latitude. The River _Canada_ is judg’d to be the largest of all the Rivers of _America_, as those Rivers generally the largest of all in the World besides; it rises in the Western parts of this Province which remain yet undiscover’d, and in some places spreads it self into huge Lakes, some of them a hundred Miles in compass, with many little Islands dispersed up and down in them, and so running from the West about a hundred Leagues, falls at last into the North part of _St. Lawrence Bay_, being that wide _Emboucheure_ of thirty five Miles breadth already mention’d. This River is extraordinary full of Fish, among which there is one sort more remarkable than the rest, call’d by the Inhabitants _Cadhothuis_, having Heads resembling the Heads of Hares, and Bodies as white as Snow; they are taken for the most part before the Isle _de Lievres_. The Countrey on both sides of the River is pleasant and indifferently fertile, especially towards the South-West, where upwards from the River the Ground rises into many little Hills, invested most of them with Vines, with which and several other sorts of Trees this Countrey abounds, being well water’d with a great many lesser Streams, all of them falling into the River _Canada_.
