And for thy part if thou meanest to be no Planter nor Venturer, doe but lend thy good Prayers for the furthrance of it. And so I rest a well-wisher to all the good designes both of them which are gone, and of them that are to goe._ M. S. [Illustration: (decorative banner)] NEW ENGLANDS _PLANTATION_.
