The praise-worthinesse thereof doeth approve it selfe, and is better read in your living doings, then in my dead unregarded papers. All that I can wish, is that my life were a sufficient pledge, to justifie, how much more easie, and more materiall, the course for Guiana would bee then others, which requiring greater charge, yeelde not so large benefit, and are subject to more doubtfull events. If unto their wisdomes who sit in place and authority, it shall appeare otherwise, and that in following of other attempts there is lesse difficultie, certainer profit, and needfuller offence unto the enemie: the cost and travaile which you have bestowed, shall not, I hope, be altogether lost, if unto your Honour I can prove how, and where the amends is to be had,

The Epistle of master Laurence Kaymis to the reader. To the Favourers of the Voyage for Guiana . IN things earnestly desired, though never so likely, we are still suspicious: thinking it more credit judicially attempted, bee esteemed halfe performed; yet is this my jealous conceite concerning Guiana , that nothing is begun, before all be ended. In this regarde (gentle Reader) I have presumed toent consideration, to note only mine owne unsatisfied affection: hoping that because I doe name Guiana unto thee, thou wilt vouchsafe hoc nomine, to vaile and cover all other my defects in the deser.

SUNDAY the 26. of January, in the yeere of our Lordge is such, that if the pretended voyage for Guiana doe take place, you shall (I doubt not) find r likely to compasse his intended conquest of Guiana : the governours of the Caraccas and Margarita a sufficient quantitie of gold gotten out of Guiana , to levie and furnish 500. men, having gottenuntil this present that any Spaniards were in Guiana ; that upon our returne our whole fleete will or the Indians in all partes within and neere Guiana , doe offer their service, and promise to proving, contrarie to their kings order, to enter Guiana , and kill Berreo with his followers: or else e Caracas , seeming matters of small account: Guiana onely was in their judgement, rich, plentifulrevention: If hee appeare so eagerly bent for Guiana , as if it were enacted for a lawe amongst the onely this bare assertion: that England and Guiana conjoyned, are stronger, and more easily defe[11 more...]

And to passe over land is a matter of great difficultie, by reason that the Indian nations inhabiting betweene the coast of The Caracas and Guiana , being wearied and harried with the daily incursions of the Spaniards, have now turned their abused patience into furie, refusing to suffer any forces of men to b

UPON Thursday the 14. of October 1596. we set saile from Limehouse upon the river of Thames , and through much contrarietie of winds and other accidents, we made it the 27. of December, before we could get out of Waimouth. The 25. of Januarie in the morning we came to the North side of the Island of Grand Canaria, where we hoped to have gotten a boate to serve us upon the coast of Guiana , but the winde was so great, that we could not lanch our shalope: so we past along by the roade and the towne, and at length saw a boate lying on shoare, which being too bigge for us, wee ripped up, and wooded our selves with her. That day wee descryed a saile, which at length wee found to be a flieboate of Dartmouth , of 200. tunnes, bound to the Island of Mayo for salte.
