Saturday we went to board agayne: & this day wee had 2 other men pressed to serve y^e Kings Shippe; but we got one agayne by intreaty. [Sidenote: [10.]] The Sabbath next day we kept y^e shipp where I preached in y^e morning; & in y^e afternoon was intreated to preach at Yarmouth, where M^r Meare & captayne Borley entertained vs very kyndly, & earnestly desyred to bee certified of o^r safe arrivall in new England, & of y^e state of y^e countrey [Sidenote: [11]] [Sidenote: [12]] Monday morning blew a fayre wind fro̅ East S: E: And y^e lions whelpe having taken in all her provisio̅ for passengers, about 3 of y^e clocke in y^e afternoone wee hoysed sayle for y^e Needles, & by Gods guidance safely passed y^t narrow passage a little after 4 a clocke in y^e afternoone. And being entred into y^e sea, fro̅ y^e top of y^e mast we discerned 4 sayle of shipps lying southward fro̅ vs. But night coming on wee tooke in o^r long boate & shalope. And y^e next day we had a fayre gale of Easterly wind y^t brought vs towards night as farre as y^e Lizzard. [Sidenote: [13]] Wednesday y^e wind still houlding Easterly, wee came as farre as y^e lands end, in y^e vtmost part of Cornewall, & so left o^r deare natiue soile of England behind vs; & sayling about 10 leagues further we passed y^e Isles of Sillie & launched y^e same day a great way into y^e maine ocean. And now my wiffe & other passengers began to feele y^e tossing waues of y^e westerne sea, & so were very sea-sicke. And this is to be noted, y^t all this while o^r passage hath bene vpo̅ y^e coast of England, & so ought truly to be accounted y^e first day of o^r parting w^{th} ould England. [Sidenote: [14]] [Sidenote: [15]] [Sidenote: [May]] Thursday y^e same Easterly wind blew all day & night; & y^e next day; so y^t so̅e of y^e seamen thought we were co̅e by this tyme 100 leagues fro̅ England, but toward night y^e wind was calme. [Sidenote: [16]] Saturday we were becalmed all day. This day met vs a little shipp of Bristoll y^t came fro̅ Christopher Ilands. [Sidenote: [17.]] Sabath being y^e first Lords day we held at sea was very calme, especially in the morning, but we were disturbed in o^r morning Service by y^e approach of a Biskaniers shippe, a man of warre, y^t made towards vs, & manned out his boate to viewe vs: But fynding vs too strong for him he durst not venture to assault vs, but made off. This day my 2 children Samuel & Mary began to be sicke of y^e small-pockes & purples together, w^{ch} was brought into y^e ship by one M^r Browne w^{ch} was sicke of y^e same at Graues End, who̅ it pleased God to make y^e first occasio̅ of bringing y^t contagious sicknes among vs, wherew^{th} many were after afflicted. [Sidenote: [18.]] Monday calme still, y^e wind being no: w: blowing a little towards euening, but contrary to o^r course. [Sidenote: [19.]]
