Corbin Moore Fauntleroy John Weye Francis Willis Auguf tine Warner George Collclough John Stringer William Jones Introductory Note. THE title "Journals of the Houfe of Burgeffes" has been retained for the prefent volume, which is the 13th and laft of the feries of Journals in the publication of which the Virginia State Library has been engaged fince the year 1904, though, fo far as the contents of this book are concerned, it is not entirely accurate. The material found in this volume is not made up altogether, or even in the main, of entire Journals of the Houfe of Burgeffes or of excerpts from thefe Journals, but of a few fuch excerpts, it is true, and of fuch papers of the Houfe and of the General or Grand Affembly as a whole as are extant and have been found by the editor of the volume. Thefe papers include petitions, letters, and ftatements fent by the Houfe or by the Affembly to the authorities in England, and communications made to the Affem- bly, as well as fuch portions of the Journals as have been preferved, the latter being, unfortunately, diftreffmgly meagre, though, even at that, of the very higheft importance hiftorically. It was thought by the editor that the "papers" of the Houfe and of the Affembly fhould, in the abfence of the Journals, be printed, becaufe they are clofely affociated with the Journals, which have been loft, and with the laws, the majority of which for this period have,been printed in Hening's "Statutes at Large," though, unfortunately, many of thefe, too, have been loft. It was thought that all the material which would be of help in the reconftru(5lion of the activities of the Houfe and of the Affembly for the earlieft period fhould be prefented in one place. The material in this volume is fimilar to that in the firft 118 pages of the preceding volume, and not fimilar, except in places, to the material making up the bulk of that volimie, namely, the com- plete Journals from 1680 through 1693 , printed from contemporary copies of thefe Journals fent to England at the clofe of each feffion and there, with one or two exceptions, pre- ferved. The book contains, alfo, the orders of the Affembly for the period covered. Thefe orders are of the nature of laws rather than of journal material, being the aftual judgments of the Affembly in regard to a multitude of local and private matters, in reference to which it was not deemed fuitable to ena(5l a law. They, however, frequently contain much of what in later times would appear in the Journals, and not by any means all of them have been printed by Hening.' It was thought beft, however, to retain for this volume the title given to the feries, rather than attempt to give it a title more truly defcriptive of its contents, becaufe, firft, it actually does contain all the journal entries that have come down from thofe early days, and, fecondly, it is only one volume of a feries, and any change in the title would probably lead to confufion in the ufe of the volumes and in references to be made to them. In colledling the material which will be found in the body of this book, a few papers have been obtained which are of fuch value as fupplementing and illuftrating that ' For fuller defcription of thefe orders, both as to their nature and hiftory, fee the Preface to the preceding volume, pp. XVII and XXXI. [ xxvi ] material as to call for publication in an Appendix.' This material, none of it having been printed before, fo far as is known to the editor of this volume, except one fmall item, will be found more particularly defcribed in the Preface. The Preface to the prefent volume is unlike the prefaces to former volumes in the feries, in that it confines itfelf almoft altoge^-her to a treatment of the fources of the text and of the dates of the feffions, and pays only the moft general attention to the contents of the text, whereas in former volumes a fetting forth in a connedled way of fome of the more important tranfaftions of the Houfe was the main objecft of the prefaces. So far as the prefent volume is concerned, fuch a preface could not be written except for thofe few affemblies for which the excerpts from the original Journals are of fome length, and in thefe cafes the excerpts tell the ftory clearly enough to make a retelling of it fuperfiuous. As for the papers of the various affemblies, it has been felt by the editor that an attempt to give in this Preface an adequate difcuffion of their contents would, if it were to be carried to a fuccefsful conclufion, refult in the writing of a hiftory of the period covered, which would fcarcely be advifable in a preface. If advifable, it would not be poffible to add much to what has already been done along this line. 3 This voltune contains, alfo, a general index to the feries, made up of the indexes of the refpedtive voliimes, thrown together after having been fomewhat revifed. The feries has been printed in an inverted chronological order, and no volume number has been put on any volume, but in place of this the inclufive dates of the material to be found therein. Confequently, in the general index the references to the volumes are made by means of thefe inclufive dates, they being printed in heavy type. When the volumes of the feries are coUedled on a fhelf, it is fuggefted that they be put in their chronological order, rather than in the order in which they have been pub- lifhed. This will throw the index volume firft, but will remedy the impreffion bovmd to be made by the other arrangement of moving in an unnatural way backwards. It is believed that this arrangement will reduce to a minimum the awkwardnef s refulting from the method of publifhing, a method chofen becaufe it was known at the ftart what Journals of the later period could be found for publication, but not known what Journals of the earlier period were in exiftence, and it was deemed defirable to begin the work at once. It may be added that this method has increafed to no fmall extent the labor of the editors,* and has caufed the commiffion of a few mif takes in ftatement which otherwife might not have been made. Much of the material appearing in this book has been printed before, and wherever a paper has appeared in a publication having a good reputation for accuracy, fuch, for inftance, as Hening's "Statutes at Large" or the "Virginia Magazine of Hiftory and Biography," the editor has not thought it neceffary to go beyond thefe to their fources in fecuring his text, but has entered cheerfully into the labors of others. He has, however, very frequently gone to the originals themf elves, as a reading of the Preface will indicate . In the text "copy" has been followed very clofely, and in order to do this in the cafe of original manuf cripts a few fpecial characters have been tifed, as follows : c, indicating ti (menconed, for example, for mentioned). 4r, indicating -leman or -lemen (genti, ftanding for gentleman or gentlemen, ufually the latter). ^, indicating pre (^vent, prevent). qj, indicating que (annoqj, for annoque) m, indicating mm (fumon, for fummon). In general, a curve over a letter indicates the omiflion of a letter or letters either preceding or following the marked letter. ' The nfer of this book need hardly be told, however, that the material here given is but a fmall part of the material ftill unprinted in the Britifh Public Record Office and other depofitories which would throw ftrong light on the quef lions treated in the papers and parts of Journals appearing in the body of the book. ' Until all the material referred to in the preceding note gets into print, it does not feem to the editor advifable that any further attempt to write a hiftory of the period be made. * The firft four volumes were edited by Jno.

The General Affembly of 1619. HIS Affembly is of peculiar intereft as being the firft legiflative body that ever ■ met in America. The account of its proceedings printed in the prefent volume -*- is not the journal kept by the clerk of the General Affembly — no fuch journal has been preferved, if written from day to day, though a clerk was appointed — but it is the report fent home to the authorities of the London Company in England by the fpeaker of the Affembly, John Pory, who was alfo fecretary of the Colony. Pory's pofition as fecretary carried with it memberfhip in the Council and confequently memberfhip in the Affembly, fince this firft Affembly was compofed, as was the cafe in later times, both of members eledted by the people and of members of the Council appointed by the authorities in England. Pory feems to have been appointed to the pofition of fpeaker, as were John Twine and Thomas Pierfe to the pofitions of clerk of the General Affembly and fergeant-at-arms, refpedlively, by the governor or by the governor and Council, for the feledtion took place before the Burgeffes had become, by taking the oath of fupremacy, fully competent to perform their duties. At this firft meeting of the General Affembly the Burgeffes — two from each plan- tation — and the members of the Council, with the governor, fat together as one body, in which each member had one vote, and queftions were decided by the vote of the major- ity, the governor, however, having the power to veto any meafure whatever. All this was in accordance with the London Company's commiffion to Governor Yeardley eftab- lifhing the General Affembly ; and the body continued to confif t of only one chamber for the few years of the further exif tence of the London Company and pof fibly to a later time ftill. By an extenfion of uf age the Company applied the term "borough" to each area, whether town, hundred, or plantation, from which reprefentatives were to come, and the term "burgefs" to each voter in one of thefe areas. The reprefentatives in the Affembly were called "burgeffes" at the ftart, not becaufe they were reprefenta- tives, but becaufe they were citizens and voters in thefe "boroughs," but very foon the idea of reprefentation became attached to the word "burgefs," and then, the boroughs of the company having gone out of exiftence, the word came to mean, fo far as Virginia was concerned, a reprefentative in the elecftive branch of the General Affem- bly and nothing eKe. Its ufe in the fenfe of a voter did not perfift. But as meaning a reprefentative it continued in ufe till the Revolutionary War, though there was only one town in the Colony. The reafon for this was, of courfe, that the term was ufed in the official documents of the later period and that thefe followed the ixfage fet by the Company, s Unfortunately, the records handed down do not permit us to fay at exadlly what time the two claffes of members began to fit as feparate chambers; certainly, however, it was much before the year 1680, the date given by Beverley, and adopted on his au- thority by many later hiftorians. Some of the evidence leading to this conclufion has been prefented in the Preface to the volume of the Journals of the Houfe of Burgeffes immediately preceding the prefent one.' Additional evidence will be prefented further on in this Preface. s See the commiffion given to Sir Francis Wyatt in 1621, printed in Hening, I, 113, 114, which was almoft certainly exadtly fimilar to the commiffion given to Sir George Yeardley in 1618, by virtue of which the firft General Affembly in Virginia was held. Unfortunately, this paper has been loft. The firft paper mentioning the General Affembly that has come down to us is dated July 24, 1 621. It has the title "An Ordinance and Conftitution of the Treafurer, Council, and Company in England, for a Council of State and General Affembly." It is printed in Hening I, 110-113. ' See Journals of the Houfe of Burgeffes, 1659/60-1693, p. xx. [xxviii] The fpeaker's account of the proceedings of this General Affembly was firft printed in 1857, in the "Colle6tions of the New York Hiftorical Society," with a preface by George Bancroft. It was again printed in the "Colonial Records of Virginia'" (State Senate Document, Extra, Richmond, 1874), pp. 1-3 2. The original is in the Britifh Public Record Ofifice, London. The feveral tranfcripts which have been made of this very interefting document differ from each other flightly in unimportant details. Two of thefe tranfcripts are at prefent in the Virginia State Library, one in the colledtion known as the "McDojwW Tranfcripts" and the other in the colledlion known as the "De Jarnette Tranfcripts."' The former of thefe has been ufed as the fource of the text printed in this volume, as it appears to be flightly more accurate than the De Jarnette tranfcript and at leaft as accurate as the one ufed by Bancroft. '^ The feffions of this Affembly began on July 30, and ended on Auguft 4. The laft paragraph of the report fhows that the Affembly was not finally diffolved, but was pro- rogued to the firft of March, 1619/20. Probably it met at that time or a little later, but no account of the feffion has been handed down, though Robert Beverley, indeed, does fay in his "Hiftory of Virginia" that an Affembly met in May, 1620, and in this ftatement he is followed by the more reliable Stith.' The General Affembly of 162 i. THE next Affembly of which there is an account met in November and December, 1 62 1 — probably for only a few days — and the account is found in a letter of the governor and Council of Virginia to the London Company written in January, 1621/22. This letter is printed in full in Edward D. Neill's ' ' Virginia Company of London," pp. 274-286. In the abfence of the Journal of this Affembly, of all documents emanating from it, and of fuch a fpecial report relating to it as Speaker Pory's report of the proceedings of the Affembly of 161 9, it was thought advifable to infert in this volume fuch parts of the letter as refer to the proceedings of the Affembly. Thefe are printed from the text as given by Neill, who copied from a manufcript in the Library of Congrefs, which is evidently a contemporary copy of the original — almoft certainly, indeed, the official copy kept by the governor and Council. It found its way to the Library of Congrefs with the library of Thomas Jeff erf on." 1 The firft of thefe two coUedtions of tranfcripts was made in i860 by diredtionof Col. Angus W. McDonald, who had been fent to England by the General Affembly of Virginia to fecure tranfcripts of fuch papers as he could dif cover throwing any light on the queftion of the boundary Hne between Virginia and Maryland, and who, finding after this task had been accomplifhed that the appropriation made was not exhaufted, expended the balance in fecuring tranfcripts of other important documents originating in colonial Virginia. Unfortunately, four of the nine volumes of tranfcripts and the coUeftion of maps brought back by Col. McDonald from England — the material bearing more efpecially on the fubjeft of the boundary line — difappeared from the Virginia State Library fome time after the occupation of Richmond by the Federal troops in April, 1865. Confequently, when in 1870 the queftion of the boundary line between the two States came again under official confideration, it was neceffary that the documents in England bearing upon it fhould be copied again. This time the agent of Virginia was the Honorable D. C. De Jarnette, fent over by the governor of the State. Mr. De Jarnette, too, had tran- fcripts made of important Virginia documents other than thofe bearing on the boundary line, many of them, indeed, being duplicates of the tranfcripts in the four volumes of the "McDonald Tranfcripts" which have been preferved. * A very good account of the work of this Affembly is contained in an article by W. W. Henry on pp. 55 ff. of Vol. 11 of the "Virginia Magazine of Hiftory and Biography." Another article, going more fuUy than does that of Mr. Henry into the fignificance of the cafe of Captain John Martin, the reprefentatives from whofe plantation were not permitted to take their feats, is to be found in the fame Magazine, Vol. VII, pp. 268-275, entitled "The Cafe of Captain Martin," written by Alexander Brown. In Alexander Brown's "Firft Republic in America" is found, alfo, a very full account of the proceedings of this Affembly. (See "Firft Republic in America," pp. 313-321.) The introdudtory note written by George Bancroft to the Proceedings of the General Affembly printed in the "CoUcdtions of the New York Hiftorical Society" for 1857 is alfo excellent. This introdudlory note is reprinted in the "Colonial Records of Virginia." » See p. 37 of Campbell's edition of Beverley's "Hiftory of iVirginia," and p. i6oofStith's "Hiftory of Vir- ginia." Beverley makes this the firft feffion of the Affembly. ■" Its reference marks in the Library of Congrefs are, Ms. Rec. Virginia Co., Ill, pt. ii, pp. i-2a. [ xxix ] The General Affembly of 1623/24. THE next feffion of which any record has been left, though probably there were feffions held in the years 1622 and 1623, for, according to the "Ordinance and Conftitution of the Treafurer, Council, and Company in England for a Council of State and General Affembly," the feffions were to be annual, is the feffion of 1623/24, commencing February 16 and ending March 5. This was a very important feffion in the hiftory of the Colony, for the commiffioners fent over by the Englifh government to inquire into the condition of the Colony were in Virginia, with whom negotiations had to be carried on, and papers had to be drawn up fetting forth the attitude of the Colony toward the propofed revocation of the charter of the London Company. The fympathy of the colonifts was overwhelmingly with the company. The fight made by the king on the company is fully defcribed in E. D. Neill's "Virginia Company of London" and in even greater detail and more fatisfadlorily in Alexander Brown's "Firft Republic in America."" All the papers referred to by Brown are printed in the prefent volume — in the abfence of the regular Journal of the feffion, which has been loft — with the exception of the laws, which are to be found in Hening, I, 121-128. In addition, there is printed here an order of this Affembly which feems to have been overlooked by Brown — the fecond order on page 41. This fets forth the method of colledling tobacco for payment of Mr. John Pountis for looking after the interefts of Virginia before the king and Council in England. The firft document of this Affembly printed in this volume is taken from Neill's "Virginia Company of London" and the fecond from Stith's "Hiftory of Virginia," the original manufcript being in each cafe now in the Library of Congrefs, having been fecured by that library with the library of Thomas Jeff erf on. The next two documents are from the "Bancroft Tranfcripts," a large colledtion of copies of original papers in the Public Record Office, London, which George Bancroft, the hiftorian, had made for his ufe when writing his "Hiftory of the United States," and which are now in the New York Public Library. The next document is copied from the "Colonial Records of Virginia,'' a printed compilation already referred to, the fource of the text of which is, as we have feen, tranfcripts of originals in the Public Record Office. All the other documents of this feffion are printed from the "Bancroft Tranfcripts" except the two orders given on page 41, which are from papers in the Library of Congrefs evidently contemporary with the orders themf elves." This Affembly probably held another feffion, in the latter part of 1624, but nothing is known in reference to it.-^ " Neill's "Virginia Company of London," 385 flf. ; Brown's "Firft Republic in America," 570 B. " The Library of Congrefs papers are, in faft, pages from the original Council record book, the book, before its transfer to the Library of Congrefs, having become much mutilated, only pages here and there being preferved. It may be of intereft to note that everywhere in this volume where documents have been printed from manu- fcripts other than manufcripts in the Britifh Pubhc Record Office and tranfcripts in the Virginia State Library, photoftatic copies of the fources have been ufed. In the cafe of the "Bancroft Tranfcripts" thefe photoftatic copies have been themfelves fent to the printer, but in the cafe of the Library of Congrefs manufcripts — early feventeenth century manufcripts — difficulties of handwriting made it advifable that the printer be fumifhed with more legible copy. " See Alexander Brown's reference to it in the "Virginia Magazine of Hiftory and Biography," VII, 273, 274. [ XXX ] Convention of 1625. WHEN the charter was taken away from the London Company and the govern- ment of Virginia was affumed by the crown, there was in the form of government devifed no provifion made for a reprefentative affembly. Hence no Houfe of Burgeffes could be legally elefted. However, the governor of Virginia, Sir Francis Wyatt, and the Council, were in favor of allowing reprefentatives of the people a fhare in the government of the Colony, although this, neceffarily, would diminifh their own power, and they, accordingly, called together a number of fuch reprefentatives to confult with them on matters moft vitally affedling the Colony. The call has fortimately been preferved, and is in thefe words : "Wheras there are divers important occafiones, W"" hereby conceme the generall Eftate of y'' Colony, Thefe are y* you cale together all the fremen of y* plantac' vnder your Comand And by the maior p'tie of y* voyt [voice] to ele6t two of y= moft Sufficient vppon whofe Judgements the reft wilbe Contented to rely y* they Appere at James Cyitie the loth of Maye next enfuinge, where we hope the bufinefs wUl not detain them aboue three or fower dyes." This call was iffued at a meeting of the governor and Council held the 2Sth of April, 1625, and was diredled to the commander of each plantation." To the gathering which came together purfuant to this call, prefumably on the loth of May, the term "Convention" has been applied. The paper drawn up by it, preferved in the Britijh Public Record Office, has been given a place in this book among the papers of the General Affembly, though, technically fpeaking, it has no title to be placed here. It is a petition to the king, and fhows clearly the wifh of the people of Virginia to be allowed to have a reprefentative affembly and their objedlion to the king's making a monopoly of the tobacco trade. The monopoly was fpoken of by them as "the late pemitious contradl." The Convention probably did nothing beyond drawing up this petition to the king and elecfting Sir George Yeardley, former governor, as the agent of the Colony to proceed to England and prefent it to his majefty." There may have been other conventions held in the time intervening between the affumption of the government by the crown and the allowance of general affemblies by the crown — in the latter part of 1627- — but no definite records of them have been preferved. General Affembly of 1627/28. THE firft General Affembly of Virginia which met after the revocation of the charter was called together at the exprefs command of the king in March 1627/28. The date of the moft important paper drawn up by the General Affembly is March 26, 1628, and it is a paper of fuch length and deals princi- pally with a queftion of fuch great importance to the Colony that feveral days muft have been confumed in its drafting and confideration. It feems fafe to fay, then, that the Affembly met fome days before March 25, and, accordingly, in the year 1627 (old ftyle). As ufual for this early period, the Journal has been loft. At the fame time, no laws or orders paffed at this feffion have been preferved. The papers that have come down, however, are extremely interefting, and the laft one printed in this book, namely, the commiffion of the General Affembly to Sir Francis Wyatt, Mr. Edward Bennett, and Mr. Michael Mar/hart, diredling them to take care in England of the interefts of the planters of Virginia in the matter of the monopoly of the trade in tobacco, which the '« It is printed in the "Virginia Magazine of Hiftory and Biography," XXIII, 14, from the original "Minutes of the Council and General Court of Virginia," in the Library of Congrefs. « "Firft Republic in America," 642. [ xxxi ] king wifhed to take to himfelf, feems to have been overlooked heretofore by writers on this period of Virginia hiftory. The commiffion is here printed, for the firft time, from a contemporary copy — evidently the original official copy kept in Virginia — in the Library of Congrefs. Since it is not a paper directed to the officials in England, no copy of it is, of courfe, in the Britifh Public Record Office. Of the other papers of the feflion, there are copies both in the Public Record Office and in the Library of Congrefs, thofe in the former repofitory being the adlual official papers fent to England and thofe in the latter the official copies kept in Virginia. The text given in this book follows the copies in the Public Record Office — or, more immediately, the "Bancroft Tranfcripts. " It was owing to the defire of the king to monopolize the trade in tobacco, and to his thought that this could be probably more thoroughly effedled by a law paffed by the reprefentatives of the planters than by a proclamation, that the General Affembly was ordered to be convened. The Affembly, however, was by no means inclined to accede to the king's terms. ■« General Affembly of 1629. 1 THE Affembly of 1629 began its meeting the i6th of Odoher, as is diftincflly ftated in the manufcript which is the final fource of the text, but it cannot be faid how long the feffion continued, fmce no further date is given. The proceedings of this Affembly are printed in Hening, and from Hening the text in this book has been copied. This procefs was much fimpler than to have a copy of the original made. And it has not, it is believed, impaired the authenticity or accuracy of the text, for a careful comparifon of Hening with the original manufcript in the Library of Congrefs" was made by the editor of this volume, and Hening's accuracy found to be moft commendable. In fadt, Hening now has a better text than the Library of Congrefs manufcript, for the reafon that that manufcript, faded and frayed and defedlive in Hening's time, is now in even worfe condition, one hundred years and more having elapfed fmce Hening's vie of it. In one refpe(5l, however, the prefent text is clofer to the original than is the text in Hening: the chapter headings inferted by Hening have been dif carded. Hening was inclined to think that he was printing the proceedings, or Journal, of the Affembly, rather than the adls, for he fays as much on page 139 of Vol. I ; ftill he inferted, "for the convenience of reference," he fays, the words "adl i," "adt 2," etc., at the beginning of the paragraphs of the manufcript when printed. The proceedings are not, however, claimed to be a true Journal. They are, rather, fimilar to the report of the proceedings of the firft Affembly made by John Pory. The lift of members of the Affembly is not printed in this book in connection with the proceedings, but is given with the other lifts of members in the front part of the book. It will be noticed that at this time the members of the Houfe of Burgeffes and the members of the Council, with the governor, ftill fat together. The wording of the proceedings all the way through fhows this beyond a doubt. " For all early Virginia economic queftions Philip Alexander Bruce's "Economic Hiftory of Virginia in the Seventeenth Century" fhould be confulted. The queftion of Charles's tobacco monopoly is treated on pp. 285-288 of Vol. I of that work. " This manufcript is believed to be the official record preferved by the Clerk of the Houfe^of Burgeffes. It is the fource of the a<5ts given in Hening for the feffions through Auguft, 1633. [ xxxii ] General Affembly of 1629/30. THIS Affembly met the 24th oi March, 1629/30, and continued in feffion certainly for feveral days, but for how many it is impoffible to fay. No record of the Affembly has been preferved other than that printed as Adls of Affembly in Hening, I, 147-153, from a manufcript now in the Library of Congrefs. At this early date the art of keeping journals and drawing up laws was not highly devel- oped. The journals of the daily proceedings, if written out, were probably confidered of little permanent importance, and confequently were foon loft. The important thing was to keep a record of the refults adlually attained, that is, the petitions and other papers drawn up, and the a<5ls and orders paffed, and there was at the ftart little diftin(5lion, if any, between thefe two kinds of enactments. Indeed, in the early days the formula "it is ordered" or "it is thought fit" ufually appears in the cafe of all enadtments, variations, however, being met with. It was not until the 1643/44 feffion, if we may venture on a ftatement from the infufficient material left, that the form "it is enadted," or "be it enadled," became eftablifhed as the normal form for ufe in an adl, or law, "it is ordered" having been referved for ufe in orders. The defign of the writer of the manufcript from which Hening copied what is given on pp. 147-153 of his firft volume — and this writer was probably the clerk of the Affem- bly, for if the manufcript is not the original official record, it is certainly a contemporary copy and one probably made by the clerk — was to preferve what we fhould now call the Adts of Affembly and not the Journal of the Houfe, or, as it would have been at that time, there being only one chamber, Journal of the General Affembly. For this reafon the material is not printed in this volume, though it muft be admitted that fome of it bears a clofe refemblance to journal material. It muft be admitted, aKo, that the line of demarcation between the material for this feffion and that for the feffion before, print- ed in this volume, is but faint. However, from this time on the wording of the adls be- comes more and more expert, and lefs and lefs matter of a joumaliftic nature appears. Beginning with the prefent feffion the enactments given by Hening as adls will not be found printed in this volume — with one or two exceptions where Hening is in error in claffification, or where the paper, though called an adt by the Affembly, was in reality defigned to be fomething in addition. ■« Grand Affembly of 1631/32. THIS Affembly met the 21ft of February, 167,1/ 2,2, and continued in feffion through the fixth of March. The adls of the feffion are all given in Hening, I, 155-177, and no Journal has been handed down. The manufcript, however, containing the adls differs from other fimilar manufcripts, in that it gives the different days on which the various adts were paffed, and alfo the day of adjournment. This has made it poffible to give the limiting dates of the feffion. The manufcript, alfo, has the two following ftatements of a joumaliftic nature inferted juft after the lift of names of the Burgeffes and before the adls: "The oathes of fupremacy and allegiance were in the firft place adminiftered to the Governor and Councell and to all the above named burgeffes in like manner. In the aftemoone. "The Commiffion from his majeftie nowe in force was read before the whole bodie of the Affembly." This is the laft manufcript containing the Adls of Affembly that has in it fentences of the charadler quoted above. ■* See pp. 66-69. [ xxxiii ] That the Council and the Burgeffes ftill fat together appears from the word- ing of Adl XVIII, in reference to attendance on divine fervices, which is, in part: "It is ordered, that all the Counfell and burgiffes of the affembly fhall, in the mominge, be prefent at devine fervice, in the roome where they fit, at the third beatinge of the drum, * * * - However, the Burgeffes were certainly developing an independent confcioufnefs, for the one document of the feffion handed down to us — probably the only one drawn up — was the work of the Burgeffes alone, the governor and Council writing one of their own bearing on the fame fubjeft and directed to the fame body. The paper of the Bur- geffes is given on pages 55 and 56 of this volume; that of the governor and Council, in the Appendix. Thefe two papers are defignated, the one as the petition of the Houfe of Burgeffes and the other as the letter of the governor and Council to the Privy Council." This, on further confideration, feems to be an error. They were, more probably, diredled to the commiffioners appointed by the Privy Council the latter part of June, 16^ i , to inquire into Virginia affairs." They are, however, in the "Randolph Manufcript" and the "Bland Manufcript" taken to have been diredted to the Privy Coimcil — that is, the only one of them (the petition of the Burgeffes) of which an abftra(5l is given in thefe manu- fcripts, is fo affigned." Inftead of the term "General Affembly," "Grand Affembly" makes its appearance for the firft time at this feffion, a term to remain in ufe till the feffion held in 1680. There feems to be no fpecial reafon for the change, the two terms being exaftly fynon- ymous. It happened, however, that the paper authorizing Governor Harvey to call legiflative affemblies ufed the term "Grand Affembly,"" which ufage was followed in England until 1680 and confequently in Virginia. In fa(5t, Harvey's firft Affembly, that held in March, 1629/30, fhould on this principle have been called the "Grand Affembly," but the clerk made the miftake of ufmg the defignation "General Affembly" up to that time in vogue. ■» Both are printed from the original records, now in the Library of Congrers. » For the names of thefe commiffioners, fee Neill's "Virginia Carolorum," p. 85. " The "Bland Manufcript" is a large bound volume of tranfcripts and abftratSls of early Virginia records. The originals having in many inftances been loft, this manufcript is an extremely valuable fource of Virginia hiftory. The copies and abftradts were made about the year 1722, probably by a clerk in the fecretary's office, for Sir John Randolph, who had under contemplation the writing of a hiftory of Virginia, but who died before he could carry his purpofe into execution. It has, however, been ufed by Stith, Burk, Hening, Campbell, and more recent workers in Virginia hiftory. Hening gave the volume the title, by which it has fince been known, of the "Bland Manufcript," becaufe at the death of Richard Bland, the "Virginia Antiquary," it was in his library. It was purchafed by Thomas Jeflerfon, and with moft of Jefferfon's library, foimd its way finally to the Library of Congrefs, where it is today. The "Randolph Manufcript," fo called becaufe it was at one time owned by John Randolph, of Roanoke, is now the property of the Virginia Hiftorical Society. It is an eighteenth century copy of the "Bland Manufcript," made by an expert copyift, who did his work well, though fome unimportant mif takes have, indeed, been dif covered. When the prefent volume of "Journals of the Houfe of Burgeffes" comes from the prefs, all the material in the "Bland Manufcript" will, it is thought, have been publifhed. Stith, in the appendix to his "Hiftory of the Firft Difcovery and Settlement of Virginia," Williamfburg, 1747, made a beginning of publication, and this work has been going on, intermittently, ever fince. The laws, moft of the orders, and many of the paragraphs copied, either in extenfo or by abftradl, from the early Journals of the Houfe of Burgeffes, were printed by Hening, and fuch of this material as Hening failed to include, with the longer papers not elfewhere printed, has been, with a few exceptions, printed in the "Virginia Magazine of Hiftory and Biography." The immediate fource of the text of the "Virginia Magazine of Hiftory and Biography" was, however, the "Randolph Manufcript." For fuller information in reference to the "Bland Manufcript" and the "Randolph Manufcript," fee the "Records of the Virginia Company," Introduftion, pp. 48-54, and the "Virginia Magazine of Hiftory and Biog. raphy," XV, pp. 390, 391. " In neither Harvey's commiffion nor firft fet of inftruftions is the penniffion to call a reprefentative affembly given. The commiffion is printed in the "Virginia Magazine of Hiftory and Biography," XVI, 125- 131, and the inftruftions in the fame magazine, VII, 267. In the inftrudtions, however, is the following fentence: "We doe likewife promife hereby to renewe and confirme unto the faid CoUonies under our greate Scale of Englande their landes and priviledges formerlie graunted," and in inftruftions iffued later the governor is fpecifically authorized to call a reprefentative affembly, "Grand Affembly" being the term ufed. See the "Calendar of State Papers, Colonial, 1574-1660," p. loo. [ xxxiv ] Seffions of the Grand AfTembly Held in the Period 1632-1637. SESSIONS were held during this period almoft every year, but about fome of them very little is known. For the feffion which began the fourth of September, 1632 — the date of its clofe is not known — the laws are given in Hening, I, 178-202, from the original records, referred to above, now in the Library of Congrefs. It is alfo known that this Affembly took depofitions as to the charadler of the government of the Colony under the Virginia Company of London,'^ but the records have been loft. The laws paffed by the Affembly at its feffion beginning the firft of February 1632/33 are printed in Hening, I, 202-209. This Affembly held a fecond feffion, which began the 21ft of Auguft, 1633, and the laws paffed at this feffion are printed on pages 209-222 of Vol. I of Hening.'* That this was the fecond feffion of the Affembly that met in its firft feffion in February, 1 63 2 /3 3 , rather than the firft feffion of a new Affembly, is inferred from the fa(5l that the manufcript does not give before the text of the laws the names of the members of the Grand Affembly, as is done elfewhere in this manufcript and in others giving laws. It was cuftomary in thefe manufcripts to give the names of the members of the General Affembly whenever a new Affembly was convened, but not when an old Affembly met in a new feffion. It muft be remembered that copies of the laws paffed at each feffion were fent to the various counties of the Colony— one copy to each county. Though furprifingly few of thefe are now in exiftence, a fufficient number are left to fhow what muft have been the cuftom in this refpeft, certainly in later times. It is poffible, of courfe, that the ftatement cannot be made with certainty for a time as early as 1633. According to an abftradl in the "Bland Manufcript" and in the "Randolph Manu- fcript," printed in Hening, I, 223, and in the " Virginia Magazine of Hiftory and Biography," XIII, 391, a meeting of the Affembly was held in 1634. The month is not given. The abftracft has to do with the hours of attendance of the fecretary of the Colony in his office. At this meeting, alfo, the Burgeffes drew up a petition to the king arguing againft a propofal from his majefty that he make a monopoly of the tobacco trade, but no copy of this paper has come down, owing to the fadt that the governor, the autocratic Sir John Harvey, at this time riding for a fall and the next year "thruft from his government," would not forward it to the home authorities, and the fecretary of the Colony and the clerk of the Affembly were afraid to give out attef ted copies. « The titles of feveral of the other a(5ls paffed at this feffion are alfo known from a fedtion of Adl XXXVIII of the feffion of 1641/42, which is as follows: "That one Adt made in the yeare 1634 requiringe noe wine nor ftronge waters to be fould w'thout lifence; That one Adt made An" 1634 comandinge plantinge of vines; That one Adl made in An° 1634 in forceing noe gould nor filver to bee wome on apparell but by Counfellors and there wives; That one Adl made in An° 1634 bindinge feamen not to trade here goods w'thout reddye pay; That one Adl made in An° 1634 entitled a reftraint from plantinge; That one Adl An° 1634 comandinge Left. Popeley to make good the Middle plantation; That one A(5t made in An° 1634 requiringe an office to bee built for the Secretary, bee from henceforth repealed." The laws for this feffion of 1641/42, from which the above is quoted, were not found by Hening. Many of them have, however, been printed in the "Virginia Maga- zine of Hiftory and Biography," IX, 52-59. The preceding paragraph is to be found on page 57- " See p. 66 of the prefent volume.

[ XXXV ] An Affembly probably convened on the 20th of February, 1634/35, for Governor Harvey in a letter dated January 27, 1634/5, to Secretary Windebank, faid that one had been called for that date," but nothing is known as to its proceedings. On the 7 th of May, 1635, an Affembly came together to receive complaints againft Governor Harvey." This Affembly was called together by the Council and not by the governor and Council, and when it met, the governor, now pradlically a prifoner, fent a letter ftating that the meeting was illegal and ordering that it be dif continued. This order, however, was not obeyed. The Council proceeded to the eleAion of a fucceffor for Harvey, and the Burgeffes were called on to ratify the choice. This was done with enthufiafm. The Affembly then drew up a paper directed to the Lords Commiffioners of Plantations, the body in England then having charge of Colonial affairs, in which was given a catalogue of Harvey's mifdeeds as governor. This paper has not come down to us. It happened that Governor Harvey went to England in the fame fhip which con- veyed Thomas Harwood, the bearer of the paper; and as foon as a landing was made at Plymouth, he prevailed on the mayor of the city to have the paper, with others, taken from Harwood and delivered to him. He then went on his way rejoicing to London, where he fecured an order reftoring him to his government.'* Another Affembly convened in February, 1635/6, and paffed a(5ls only a reference to one of which has been preferved, in a letter written by the governor and Council in i638(?) to the authorities in England. This acfl was one for ref training exceffive pur- chafes of wine, and the governor and Council in i638(?) wrote that it ought to be revived." On the 20th of February, 1636/7, an Affembly met and paffed a good many laws, but only one of thefe has been preferved, namely, the 20th adl of the feffion, the objeft of which was to eredl an office the holder of which fhould keep a regifter of all tobacco and other commodities exported. This was the firft Affembly held by Governor Harvey after his return to Virginia as governor. 3» In a paragraph of A(5l XXXVIII, however, of the 1641/42 feffion feveral other adls of this feffion are mentioned. The paragraph is as follows : "That one Ac5l made in An° 1636 for wine and mulberry trees; That one adl made in An° 1636 giveinge lib 'tie for attached goods to bee prayfed and fould; That one Adl made in An" 1636 forbiddinge tranfportinge of Cattle; That one Adt made in An° 1636 for plantinge Toba. w'thout reftraint; That one Adl made in An" 1636 ratinge fheriffes fees; That one Adt made in An° 1636 requiringe 4"* p. pole for the Mayntenance of a Capt. of a forte and Guarders; That one Adl made in An° 1636 ratinge fees of officers for regeftringe Toba. infpedled; That an Adl made in the yeare 1636 ratinge furveyors fees; That an Adt made in An° 1636 requiringe a wayter to be putt on board fhips; That one Adl made in An° 1636 freeing Counfellors from taxes, bee repealed."^' »' See the "Calendar of State Papers, Colonial, 1574- 1660," p. 195 (44).

[ xxxvi ] Grand Aflembly of 1637/8. THIS Affembly met in February, 1637/38, and remained in feffion certainly for fome time, fmce important bufinefs was tranfadled, but the exadt time carmot be ftated. The adls paffed by this Affembly have not been handed down, but that one of thefe had for its objeft the regulation of both the quality and quantity of tobacco raifed in Virginia, is learned from a letter written by governor Harvey to Secretary Windebank dated March 22, 1638.3' At leaft two other a(5ls of the feffion, with the one referred to by Governor Harvey are mentioned in Adl XXXVIII of the feffion of 164 1/2, in the following paragraph: "That one A(?t made in the yeare 1637 for regulatinge of Toba.; That one A(5l made in the yeare 1637 requiringe younge freemen to feat Chickahontiny ; That one Adt made in An° 1637 reftrayninge Inholders to fell ftrong waters, be repealed."" The fulleft account of the proceedings of this Affembly is to be found in the letter written by Richard Kemp, fecretary of Virginia, to Secretary Windebank, dated April 6, 1638, with which he fent the five documents of the Affembly printed in this volume. This letter, on account of its importance, is printed in the Appendix of this volume. Of the five documents" of the Affembly, one contains the proportions made by the king to the General Affembly, efpecially in regard to tobacco, of which the king wifhed to make a monopoly. It will be feen from Secretary Kemp's letter that the governor did not communicate thefe proportions in a fpeech to the Affembly at the beginning of the feffion, as would have been done later, but that this duty was performed by Secretary Kemp himfelf. We have no means of knowing whether at this early date it was the cuftom for the governor to open the feffions of the Affembly with a fpeech, outlining the work to be done, but prefumably it was. Three of the other four documents are the work of the Burgeffes, and one proceeds from the governor and Council. There is no paper of the whole Affembly. The docu- ments prefent to our view the fight, later to become fo familiar, of the governor and Council in a(5live fupport of the propofitions fent over and of the Houfe of Burgeffes in determined oppofition. It fhould be remembered, in explanation of this fituation, that the members of the Council who had taken part in the expulfion of Sir John Harvey fiom the government more than two years before this had been depofed from office and others put in their places. The Council was at this time thoroughly under the control of the governor. Both the wording of thefe papers and the fa(5t that they are communications paffing between the governor and Council on one fide and the Houfe of Burgeffes on the other feem to fhow that by this time the two chambers fat feparately. It may be, however, that in the tranfa(5lion of routine bufinefs and in the paffing of laws the members of the Council, the governor, and the members of the Houfe of Burgeffes all fat together, as formerly, but that for this important matter, in reference to which the two claffes of members were folidly — fo far as it appears — oppofed to each other, it was thought beft that at leaft a temporary feparation fhould take place. »' See "Calendar of State Papers, Colonial, 1574- 1660," p. 266.

THAT an Affembly met in Odoher, 1639, is fhown by Aa XXIX of the Affembly of January, 1639/40, the abridgment of which given in Hening is as follows: "The a(5t of 2 2d 8br. laft concerning burgiffes charges repealed, and the adl in 1636 revived inftead thereof."js It is alfo fhown by a paragraph of Adl XXXVIII of the 1641/42 feffion, which is as follows: "That one Adl made in An° 1639 entitled an Adl for Contradl for fraight; That one Adl made in An° 1639 ratinge and vallewinge Tobaccoe; That one Adl made in An" 1639 giveinge lib'tie to tranfporte Cattle, bee repealed. "i« It is alfo fhown by Adl LX of the feffion of 1642/3. This is, in fadl, the adl of 1639 re-enadled." It was probably at this feffion, too, that George Sandys was appointed agent for the Colony to attempt to fecure a change in the form of government, fince 1639 is the year given in a paper drawn up by the 1641/42-42 Affembly." It is barely poffible, however, that the Affembly referred to may have been the 1639/40 Affembly. Unfortunately, the inftrudlions given Sandys have not been preferved. Grand Affembly of 1639/40. THIS Affembly met the 6th of January, 1639/40, and paffed at leaft thirty-four adls, but no record of the proceedings of the Affembly has been handed down, nor has any document drawn up by it been preferved. Hening" gives abftradts of the adls, copied from the "Bland Manufcript;" and in the "Virginia Magazine of Hiftory and Biography," Vol. II, p. 99, is found a lift of members of the Affembly, printed "from a copy made by the late Conway Robinfon from the original (now deftroyed) in the office of the General Court.

[ xxxviii ] Grand Affembly of 1641/42-42. THIS Affembly met the 12th of January, 1641/42, and continued in feffion for fome time— exacftly how long, it is not poffible to fay — when it was adjourned to the firft of April.*' During the firft period of its adlivity there were paffed the laws printed on pp. 52-59 of Vol. IX of the "Virginia Magazine of Hiftory and Biography" — none of thefe laws is printed in Hening — and other laws which have not been found, and a great deal of time was fpent in the difcuffion of other matters, efpecially of the moft important one, probably, of the feffion, namely, the queftion of the renewal of the charter of the London Company, then being agitated in England and Virginia. This much may be inferred from the laft a6t paffed at that time, that is, Adt XL, which was the adl adjourning the Affembly to the firft of April, and from the fa(5l that the paper expreffmg the final conclufions of the Affembly on the fubjedl, printed in this book on pp. 66-69," was ordered to be entered as the 21ft adl of the feffion. This feems to indicate that the other laws of the firft part of the feffion were all completed through Adl XL — though copies of Adls II-XXX, with the exception of this Adl XXI, have not been preferved — and that it was thought beft, fo far as this very important one was concerned, to await the arrival of the new governor. Sir William Berkeley, fhortly expedled. The paper is, primarily, a ftatement of the reafons why the majority in the Affembly did not favor the rechartering of the London Company or any fimilar company, but it is alfo a law, in that it was ordered to be recorded as fuch and in that the laft two paragraphs contain real enadlments, prefcribing punifhment for any who might in the future endeavor to have a company chartered for the govern- ment of Virginia, and adjourning the feffion again till the fecond of June. The formal adoption of this important paper feems to have been the only bufmefs tranfadled at the April meeting of the Affembly. Only twenty-one Burgeffes figned it, prefumably, however, the full memberfhip of the Houfe prefent. At this time the coun- ties were allowed reprefentation in proportion, roughly fpeaking, to their population, and the total memberfhip of the Houfe, from the ten counties and one town in the Colony, was about thirty-fix." At the January meeting of the Affembly now under confideration there were thirty members of the Houfe of Burgeffes prefent, of whom nine were from James City. A comparifon of the lift of members prefent in April with the lift of thofe prefent in January fhows that only eleven attended both feffions. Ten new names appear on the April lift. This feems to fhow either that fome of thofe eledled before the firft meeting of the Affembly in January failed to attend or that in the period elapfing between the two meetings new members were eledled. Poffibly it fhows both of thefe things, new members being eledled in place of the old ones who had died or become incapacitated. The Affembly met again, purfuant to adjournment, on the fecond of June and remained in feffion, prefumably, till the firft of July, for that is the date of the fecond paper of this Affembly, printed in this volume, entitled "The Remonf trance of the Grand Affembly," drawn up in order to explain to the country why the feffion had been fuch a long one. This paper names in a general way the many important things that had been done, feveral of them, undoubtedly, attended to in the month between the *' There is fome uncertainty as to the date. The adl adjourning the ATfembly, printed in the "Virginia Maga- zine of Hiftory and Biography," IX, 58, has the i8th. The firft day of the feffion after the adjournment the im- portant "Declaration againft the Company to be Entered as the 2ift A&." was paffed. In the reply of the king to this its date is given as the ift of April. Hence the firft of April is the date given above. « The paper is taken from Hening, whofe fources were the "Bland Manufcript" and the "Randolph Manu- fcript," the latter of which he calls, crroneoufly, "Ancient Records of the London Company, Vol. III." No copy of the paper has been found in England, nor has a copy of the petition that was fent, with this paper, to King Charles I been preferved. The great Civil War had ftarted by the time the papers reached England, and they followed King Charles to York. « Data are infufficient to allow one to make a pofitive ftatement. Laws on the fubjeft before the 1645 law have not been preferved, and the lifts of members that have been handed down give only the names of thofe acStually prefent at the meetings. [ xxxix ] and of June and the ift of July, though copies of the laws paffed have not been found." The wording of the laft paragraph of this paper feems to fhow that a large outlay of money had to be made for fome purpofe. This was undoubtedly to pay the expenfes of the reprefentative or reprefentatives of the Colony who took the "Declaration againft the Company" to the king, with the petition fent at the fame time, and poffibly money with which to purchafe the king's favor or that of his minifters. At the opening of this affembly Sir Francis Wyatt was governor, he ha\ ing been fent over to fucceed Governor Harvey in the latter part of 1639, and at its clofe Sir William Berkeley had af fumed the reins of government. Berkeley came over fome time before the firft of April, and he figned the Declaration, taking the fide of the majority of the Affembly and the country. The papers were duly prefented to the king, who on July 5 fent from York a moft favorable reply, diredted to the governor. Council, and Affembly. <• Since the paper is fo dire(5led, it is printed in this volume as an Affembly document, and is not relegated to the Appendix as illuftrative or cognate material. The Journal of the next feffion of Affembly in all probability contained it. Grand Affembly of 1642/43. THIS Affembly met the 2nd of March, 1642/43, and continued in feffion for fome time, for it paffed feventy-three laws, accomplifhed, in facfl, a revifal of the whole body of the laws; but no record of its proceedings has been found, nor any of the documents of the feffion. The laws are all printed in Hening, I, 238-282, from a manufcript volume now in the Library of Congrefs, which was purchafed with the library of Thomas Jeferfon." Grand Affembly of 1643/44-44. THIS Affembly met firft on the and of March, 1643/44, but as foon as the oaths of allegiance and fupremacy were adminiftered to the members, it was adjourned to the ift of June, 1644. Then it met and paffed the laws and orders of the feffion, the former of which have largely to do with means of protedlion againft the Indians, who had recently, under the leaderfhip of Opecancanough, accomplifhed an extenfive maffacre of the colonifts. Neither the laws nor the orders of the feffion are found in Hening, but are printed in the "Virginia Magazine of Hiftory and Biography," XXIII, 228-238, from a manufcript recently difcovered in the office of the clerk of the court of Norfolk County in Port/mouth, Virginia. In this manufcript the laws and the orders are written in feparate lifts, which fhows that by this time a clear diftin(5lion was made between the two. The orders are from this time on always introduced by the formula "it is ordered" or "be it ordered." In accordance with the precedent fet in the volume of the "Journals of the Houfe of Burgeffes" immediately preceding this one, the orders of the Affembly from this feffion on are printed in the prefent volume. The orders of the June, 1644, feffion will be found on page 71. They were paffed on June 3. The feffion lafted only three days. It will be feen from the third order paffed that the Affembly was not diffolved, but merely adjourned till the 15th of the following November. « We fee, however, in the laws of a later feffion feveral references to laws paffed at this feffion, namely, in the following afts of the March, 1642/3, feffion: XLVIII, LIII, LIV, LV, LVI, LVII, LVIII, LIX, LXII, LXVII, LXIX. <* He attached his fignature to their "Declaration againft the Company to be Entered as the 21ft A<5t," and thus this became a fixed law of the Colony, in fo far as the king's fignature in thofe times of upheaval could make it one. This feems to be the firft inftance in which a Virginia law was figned by the king of England. <' By Hening it is called the "Randolph Manufcript," it having been at one time the property of Sir John Randolph, from whom it was tranfmitted to his fon, Peyton Randolph, after whofe death it was purchafed by Thomas Jefferfon. This volume muft not be confufed with the "Randolph Manufcript" in the Virginia Hiftorical Society Ubrary, which has been already defcribed. It is a compilation embracing moft of the laws and many of the orders paffed by the General Affembly from 1642 to 1662, with a few excerpts from the Journals. For the period which it covers it is Hening's principal fource. [xl] Grand Affembly of October, 1644. BEFORE the adjourned feffion of the Affembly of June, 1644, could be held, an entirely new Affembly was called together by Adling Governor Richard Kemp and the Council. Governor Berkeley had gone to England to get affiftance in the emergency occafioned by the Indian maffacre, and Secretary Kemp was adling-govemor in his place. The laws paffed at this feffion are printed in Hening.*' The only order of the feffion — or the only order preferved — is printed in this volume on page 72, from the "Virginia Magazine of Hiftory and Biography," whofe fource is the "Norfolk County Manufcript."

Grand Affembly of 1645/46. ANOTHER Affembly was called to meet on the 20th of November, 1645. By this time Governor Berkeley had returned from England and was in his proper place as chief of the Colony. All the laws paffed at this feffion are found in Heningi' except one, and this is printed on page 240 of Vol. XXIII of the "Virginia Magazine of Hiftory and Biography," from the "Norfolk County Manufcript." The Affembly was not diffolved at the clofe of the feffion, the date of which cannot be given, but prorogued until the firft of the following March. Meeting at that time, it paffed twenty-five a<5bs, all of which are given in Hening, " and at leaf t two orders, which are printed in this volumes' from the "Virginia Magazine of Hiftory and Biography," XXIII, 241, whofe fource is the "Norfolk County Manufcript."

However, Adl XXVIII, which is the levy &&. of the feffion, is not given in full, that is, the amounts to be raifed in each county and the amounts to be difburfed in each county are not given. Thefe amounts, however, for Lower Norfolk County, are to be found in the "Virginia Magazine of Hiftory and Biography," copied from the "Norfolk County Manufcript.

" At that time in Virginia hiftory a manufcript copy of the laws and orders paffed at each feffion of the General Affembly was fent to the clerk of the county court in each county — that is, of all the general laws, but of the fpecial and local laws and of the orders there were copies only of fuch as would be of local intereft in the county to which any particular manufcript was fent. It was felt that it would not be neceffary to fend, for example, the private afts and orders aflefting inhabitants of Northumberland County to Henrico or Charles City, or vice verfa. It happens, accordingly, that fome of thefe manufcript copies contain laws and orders not found in others- [xli] Grand Affembly of 1647/48. THIS Affembly met firft the sth of April and continued in feffion long enough to pafs the two ads given in Hening on pp. 340-341 of volume one, and to draw up and adopt the "Declaration concerning the Dutch Trade" printed in this volume of the Journals on p. 74. Hening erroneoully affigns the two adls to the November feffion of the Affembly. The correal date is afcertained from the "Norfolk County Manufcript." The fecond acSl of this feffion is in part as follows : "Be it ena(5led by this prefent Grand Affembly that the Affembly be adjourned until the ffirft day of Odober next, and that all members of both houfes do then give their attendance at James City without any pretence whatfoever to the contrary, * * * "ss If the Affembly came together at that time, however, and prefumably it did, for the law is plain, and the governor would hardly have prorogued the Affembly to a later date in the face of the law, it feems to have come together only long enough to pafs an order to adjourn till the 3d of November. Meeting at that time, it paffed the a(5ls printed in Vol. I of Hening on pp. 341-352, and the a(5ls and parts of adls printed on pp. 247-255 of Vol. XXIII of the "Virginia Magazine of Hiftory and Biography," from the "Norfolk County Manufcript." This Affembly held another feffion, beginning the 12th of Odober, 1648, the laws paffed at which are printed on pp. 352-357 of Vol. I of Hening. The ftatement that this feffion was an adjourned feffion of the Affembly of 1647, and not the firft feffion of a new Affembly, is made folely on the ground that no lift of members of the Affembly is given in the manufcript before the adls. As has been ftated, in the cafe of new affemblies the manufcript copies of the feffion laws give, invariably, it is fuppofed, the names of the members of the Affembly, but do not give them in the cafe of adjourned feffions. In the prefent cafe no lift appears. The laft adl of this feffion adjourned the Affembly to the loth oi February, 1649/50; but if any meeting took place at that time, no record has been preferved. T Grand AfTembly of 1649. HIS Affembly met the loth of Odober, 1649, and paffed the laws printed in Hening on pp. 359-362 of Vol. I., but nothing further is known in reference to it. This was the firft affembly meeting after the execution of Charles I. Grand AfTembly of 1650/51. THE Englifh Parliament, on Odober 3, 1650," paffed an adl forbidding all trade whatfoever between Virginia and the outfide world, with the objedl, of courfe, of compelling Virginia to fubmit to Parliamentary control, the Colony having up to this time been moft recalcitrant." But the governor of Virginia and the majority of the Council and of the Houfe of Burgeffes looked upon the adl as a threat which it would be impoffible to enforce, and in a feffion of the Affembly that met in March, 1650/5 1 , anfwered moft defiantly. The fpeech of the governor to the Affembly and the declaration drawn up by the Affembly are printed from the "Virginia Magazine of Hiftory and Biography," I, 75-81, whole fource was a copy in the Virginia State Library of a pamphlet in the Library of Trinity College, Dublin, Ireland. « Hening, I, p. 341. s' The date as given in the Declaration of the Affembly printed on p. 76 of this volume is an error.

This feems to indicate that the Houfe of Burgeffes — here for the firft time called "Houfe of Commons," as it was occafionally afterward — at this feffion fat as a feparate chamber. The meaning of the paffage is taken to be that the adl of Parliament was read to the two chambers in joint feffion and that the "vindication" "unanimoiifly agreed on" was unanimoufly agreed on firft by the Houfe and then by the governor and Council. Grand Affembly of 165 1-165 1/52. AVERY interefting hiftorical paper foimd among the records of Northampton County feems to indicate that a feffion of the Affembly was held in September, 1651, but of this feffion nothing further is known. One paragraph of the paper is as follows: "Imprmis. Wee the Inhabitants of Northampton Countie doe complayne that from tyme to tyme (^ticular yeares paft) wee have been fubmitted & bine obedient unto the paymt of publeq Taxacons. Butt after ye yeare 1647, fince yt tyme wee Conceive & have found that ye taxes were very weightie. But in a more efpetiall manner (undr favor) wee are very fenfible of the Taxacon of fforty fixe pounds of tobacco ^ poll (this pref ent yeare) .

Wee conceive that wee may Lawfullie pteft agt the Pceedings in the A(5l of Affemblie for publiq Taxa- cons wch have relacon to Northmton Countie fince ye year 1647." The paper as a whole confifts of a fet of inftrudlions drawn up for the guidance of the Burgeffes for Northampton County in the April, 1652, Grand Affembly by a committee of the people of the county. It is dated March 30, 1652. It is printed in full in Jennings Cropper Wife's "Early Hiftory of the Eaftem Shore of Virginia," pp. 139-140. The Affembly found out, contrary to expedlations, that the Parliamentary govern- ment was prepared to force the Colony to capitulate. An Englifh fleet of fufficient ftrength failed up the James in the early fpring of 1651/52, and the governor, after an appropriate fhow of refiftance, very fenfibly yielded. He called the members of the Affembly together, however,** and proceedings reminding one of the proceedings taking place in the cafe of two equal powers were carried through between the Virginia As- fembly and the Parliamentary Commiffioners, two out of three of them being themfelves, indeed, Virginians. The Commiffioners allowed the Affembly the moft lenient terms, and the Colony acknowledged the fupremacy of Parliament. The terms agreed on are contained in the paper entitled "Articles at the Surrender of the Country," agreed upon by the Commiffioners and the Affembly, and in the fubfidiary paper agreed upon by the Commiffioners and the governor and Council, its articles having to do with the rights and privileges of Sir William Berkeley and the members of his Council under the new govern- ment that was to be fet up. Both the papers are printed in this volume — on pages 79-81 — the firft of manifeft right, it being in the ftridleft fenfe a document of theAffembly, •• It feems probable that this was not a new Affembly, but the Affembly which had already held a feffion in 1651. [xliii] and the fecond, though not a document of the whole Affembly, only a document of one branch of the Affembly, having fo clofe a connedlion with that document that it would feem improper to feparate the two. The proclamation of indemnity, called an "Adl of In- demnity," iffued by the Commiffioners, is alfo given, to complete the ftory. It was, un- doubtedly, communicated to and read before the Affembly, in this way becoming a docu- ment of the Affembly in much the fame fenfe in which the letter of Charles I to the Affembly in 1642 became an Affembly document. Grand Affembly o^ April- May, 1652. THE Parliamentary Commiffioners, having been given power by the Council of State in England to call a meeting of the Burgeffes, proceeded to do fo, in order to draw up a plan of government for the Colony till the government fhould be definitely arranged by the authorities in England, at this time, the fpring of 1652, the Parliament, with the Council of State adling as an executive. This Houfe of Burgeffes and the Commiffioners a<5ling with them formed a kind of confti- tutional convention, and their work, owing to the peculiar fituation of affairs exifting in England, was allowed to ftand, with little interference, till the clofe of the common- wealth period. According to the framework drawn up, the Burgeffes were to be the feat of power, eledling both the governor and the members of the Council, who were to affift the governor in executive and judicial matters. The Affembly at the ftart confifted of the members of the Houfe of Burgeffes and the Parliamentary Commiffioners, and then, after the governor and members of the Council had been eledled, of thefe in addition. It feems to have been unicameral throughout. The Affembly met the 26th of April and remained in feffion for fome time, though the exa(5t date of adjournment cannot be given. It does not feem that any laws in the ufual fenfe were paffed, moft of the time of the Affembly being taken up with conftitu- tional queftions. At leaft one petition, however, was handed in to the Affembly, which was granted. Unfortunately, the full proceedings have not been handed down, but the paragraphs that have been preferved, being dated and having in places fomewhat of the joumalif tic ftyle, have more of the appearance of a true journal than any proceedings go- ing before. The proceedings as printed in this volume are from two different original fources, namely, the Library of Congrefs "Randolph Manufcript," mentioned before, and a manufcript in the Library of Congrefs in the handwriting of Thomas Jejfferfon, called by Hening the "Jejfferjon Manufcript. "59 Moft of what appears in thefe two manufcripts concerning the prefent feffion is printed in Hening;'" but one paragraph in the "Ran- dolph Manufcript" not ufed by Hening is found in the "Virginia Magazine of Hiftory and Biography," VIII, 386, 387. » Jefferfon wrote at the beginning of this manufcript, "Copied from Mercer's Ms. by Thos. Jefferfon." The Mercer here fpoken of was probably the diftinguifhed lawyer, John Mercer, of "Marlborough," the author of the "Abridgement of the Laws of Virginia," the firft edition of which was publifhed at Williamfburg in 1737. The manufcript has in it fome of the afts and orders paffed at the feveral feffions from April 1652 to March, 1660/61, being much fuller for the laft feffion covered than for any other. •• See Hening, I, 37'-373- [ xliv ] Grand Affembly o{ November, 1652. THE Affembly met again on the 25th of November, 1652. It does not feem to have paffed any laws in the ufual form — at any rate none of thefe has been handed down. It, however, confidered a number of queftions of importance, and gave judgment in reference to them by means of orders. Efpecially are the orders in the law cafes, in which the Affembly acfted as the court of laft refort in Virginia, of intereft. Appeals to the Affembly in law cafes had been allowed for fome time," and no doubt many cafes had come up, but this is the firft feffion for which we have record of them. The fources of information for this feffion are the fame as thofe given for the pre- ceding feffion. Grand Affembly of 1653. THIS Affembly met the 5th of July and continued in feffion certainly till the 13th of the month, that being the laft date given in fuch of the proceedings of the Affembly as have been preferved, and probably much longer. The fources of the text of the proceedings printed in the prefent volume from Hening and the "Virginia Magazine of Hiftory and Biography" are the "Randolph Manufcript" of the Library of Congrefs, the "Jefferfon Manufcript," and the "Bland Manufcript," the "Virginia Magazine of Hiftory and Biography" going back to the "Bland Manufcript" through the "Randolph Manufcript" of the Virginia Hiftorical Society, which, as has been faid, is a copy of the "Bland Manufcript" of the Library of Congrefs. The "Bland Manufcript" is, as has alfo been faid, a colledlion of tranfcripts and of abftradls of official Virginia records or poffibly in fome cafes of copies of thefe. UfuaUy fuch orders as are given are copied in full, and occafionally a few para- graphs are taken from the Journals of the feveral Affemblies, but, unfortunately, in no cafe has an entire Journal been copied, the compiler taking only fuch parts of the originals as feemed to him to be moft important. The compiler, too, has not always done his work very fatisfacflorily, there being here and there evident errors in tranfcription, carelefs abftradling, and failure to copy a fufficient amount from the original records to give the full ftory of a tranfadlion. The laft of thefe faults is well illuftrated in the cafe of the material appearing in this volume on pp. 86-88, efpecially that part of it giving the pro- ceedings in the cafe of Captain Abraham Read. The full charge againft Captain Read is given, Captain Read's acknowledgment of his errors, and the order of the Affembly in the matter, with the date. But then, without date, comes the petition of the offender, which muft have been written feveral days after the order of the Affembly — the wording of the petition fhows this — and the difpofition made of the petition is entirely omitted. Having commenced with the cafe of Captain Read, the compiler fhould have been care- ful to give the whole ftory, fo far as the records permitted. Defpite its imperfedlions, however, the "Bland Manufcript" is, in the lofs of the original records, of the very high- eft importance as a fource of Virginia hiftory. '■ See Hening,^, 272. [xlv] Grand AfTembly of 1654-55. THIS Affembly held two feffions, one in November, 1654, and the other in the following March. The firft feffion began on the 20th of November, but the date of its clofe is not known. Moft of the orders and proceedings — fuch of them as have been preferved — are given in the prefent volume on pp.93 and 94, from the fources defcribed above. However, feveral of them and one or two fentences evidently from the Journal were overlooked becaufe of a mifunderftanding on the part of the editor of this volume of a ftatement made by Hening. This omitted material appears below. Hening fays on p. 388 of Vol. I : "Here follow in the Rand, and Bl. Mfs. the decifions of the Grand Affembly, in various civil adlions, but they are not of fufficient importance to juftify their infertion." The editor fuppofed from this that the "Randolph Manufcript" — that is, the "Randolph Manufcript" of the Library of Congrefs — and the "Bland Manufcript" had the fame material which Hening omitted, and fupplied in the text the material contained in the former of thefe manufcripts as given in the "Virginia Magazine of Hiftory and Biography," VIII, 387, 388, but an examination of the "Bland Manufcript" fhows that it does in fadt contain additional material. This material is, of courfe, alfo in the Virginia Hiftorical Society "Randolph Manufcript," but it was not given in the "Virginia Magazine of Hiftory and Biography" when this periodical pub- lifhed fuch parts of the manufcript as had not already found their way into print, which was done fome years after fimilar treatment had been given the Library of Congrefs "Randolph Manufcript." The editor of the "Virginia Magazine of Hiftory and Biogra- phy" probably interpreted Hening as, later, the editor of the prefent volume of the JoiuTials interpreted him. Hence the paragraphs of the "Bland Manufcript" omitted by Hening appear here, it is beheved, for the firft time in print. They are as follows: "It is ordered by this prefent Grand Affembly in the Difference between Capt. Thos. Willoughby and Bartholomew Hodgeskins that Hodgeskins the then Sheriff is no way liable to make Willoughby any fatisfadlion and the former proceedings againft the faid Willoughby of the Affembly were grounded upon very good Reafons becaufe it ap- peareth that the faid Willoughby was not fwom nor a(5led as a Counfellor of this Countr}' before the Levy was made which he refufing to pay occafioned all the Damage which in this petition he doth pretend to. It is Ordered that the Suit between Capt. Thos. Willowby and Coll. Francis Yeardley be Dif miffed and and that Capt. Willowby allow Cofts to Coll. Yeardley. It is ordered that Leiut. Coll. Swan is not liable to give any fatisfacftion to Karby Kiggan or to be further molef ted by him for that we find not any action Entred againft the party as appeareth by Certificate under the CI. hand of that Cnty. It appears that Cornelius Loyd Deced was juf tly Indebted by his own acknowledge- in' in a Bond of five hundred pounds SterUng to Edward Sanderfon for which Judgment is now given. It is Ordered that the Difference between W" Deynes and The' Purjrey be referred to the next feffion. It is Ordered that M.' ^rancis Emperour Satisfye unto Coll. Burbage and Coll. Dew one third part of the advance laid upon the Cargoe of the Ship John and aKo to bear one third part of the Lofs of the Goods of the Cargoe and a third part of the Charges Ex- pended after the Sale of the fhip becaufe he hath Record'd a third part of the Cargo. The Com. appointed to make inquiry of the dues of the Country and to proportion the Levies. Majr. John Carter Capt. Henry Perry M' Wm. Walters Capt. John Moon M' John Sheapheard." The Houfe and the Council had by this time evidently refumed the pradlice of fitting feparately, as is concluded from feveral pieces of evidence in the proceedings. The firft piece of evidence is fumifhed by the firft order given. This was paffed by the [ xlvi 1 Houfe of Burgeffes alone. It concerned the fpeaker of the Houfe, Colonel Edward Hill, and, accordingly, it was not neceffary that the Council fhould concur in it. The words, however, "it is therefore ordered by this houfe" fhow that there were two chambers, for, had there been only one— if the Council and the Burgeffes had been fitting together— the wording would have been, as is the cafe with the other orders of the feffion, "it is ordered by the Affembly," or "the Grand Affembly." Secondly, the names of the Houfe members of the Committee for Private Caufes are given, and then the ftatement is made that Colonel William Clayborne, Colonel William Taylor, and Edward Diggs.Eiq., were added to the committee. Thefe three gentlemen were members of the Council. Had there been only one chamber, there would have been no diftindion in naming the committeemen. In the third place, the governor fent a communication to the Houfe ftating that the governor and Council had called Mr. Edward Diggs to be a member of the Council and asking that the Houfe, or "Affembly," as he called the Houfe, confent to the feledlion. It will be remembered that the Houfe was the fource of power at this time. The Affembly adjourned to the 20th of March, 1654/55. The items given in this volume on pp. 95-98, under the heading "Some of the Proceedings of the 1654/55 Seffion," were all taken by the editor of the prefent volume, when the text of the volume was being fecured, to belong to the 1654/55 feffion, defpite difficulties, becaufe the Library of Congrefs "Randolph Manufcript," the original fource of the text, has the material in this order." On further confideration it appears to the editor that the compiler of the manufcript has in faft, however, inferted feveral paragraphs that do not belong to the 1654/55 feffion, but to the 1655/56 feffion. He, beyond doubt, put the adls of the March, 1655/56, feffion before thofeof the March, 1654/55, feffion, dating both 1655, «j and in the fame way has confufed fomewhat the two feffions fo far as the orders and extracfts from the Journals are concerned. Unfortunately, the "Bland Manufcript" can be of no affiftance in ftraightening out the tangle, for the reafon that this manufcript has no entries for thefe two feffions, except the acfts for the 1655/56 feffion. The "Randolph Manufcript" of the Library of Congrefs is our fole reliance, and the text given in this volume, on pp. 95-98, follows the order of that manufcript exadlly, all the items being put under the 1654/55 feffion. However, an examination of the individual items fhows that feveral fhould probably be affigned to the 1655/56 feffion, the firft feffion of a new Affembly. The lift of members of the 1654/55 feffion, which was an adjourned feffion from the preceding November,''* muft have been about the fame as the lift for that feffion, which is given in the "Randolph Manufcript" of the Library of Congrefs, and printed in Hening 1^ 386, in Stanard's "Colonial Virginia Regifter," pp. 71,72, and in the prefent volume of the "Journals of the Houfe of Burgeffes," on p. xxii. A comparifon of the names of the members of the Committee of Private Caufes, the firft item given, with the names of the members of the Houfe for the November, 1654, feffion, and prefumably for the March, 1654/55, feffion, fhows that thefe do not correfpond, and that accordingly this Committee of Private Caufes mtift be for the 1655/56 feffion. It is true that this feffion of March, 1654/55, was adjourned to the following March,^^ and that the "Randolph Manufcript" gives no lift of members, before the adts of the latter feffion, for that feffion, and that ufually under fuch circumftances this would be taken to indicate that the March, 1655/56, feffion was a feffion adjourned from the March, 1654/5 5 , feffion. This cannot be, however ; for the adls of the December, 1656, feffion, as given in the "Randolph Manufcript" and '" For the confufion existing in the "Randolph Manufcript" in refpeA to the dating of the laws for the feffions of March, 1654/55, and March, 1655/56, fee Hening I, 393-395, 404,410. This confufion and the further confulion in reference to the orders and the excerpts from the Journals are the refult, of courfe, of the ufe of the "old ftyle" in dating fome of the manufcript fources of the "Randolph Manufcript" and of the "new ftyle" in dating others, and the failure of the compiler to make allowance for this.

This fhows that the March, 1655/56, feffion was the firft feffion of a new Affembly; in other words, a general election had been held. Even if this evidence were lacking, the very names of the committee would warrant the affertion; for of the twelve Houfe members of the committee only two were members of the November, 1654, feffion, and it is unbelievable that unlefs there had been a general eledlion the memberfhip of the Houfe could have changed fo greatly. Moreover, Colonel Thomas Dew is recorded as one of the two Council members added to this committee. Now, Colonel Dew was a member of the Houfe at the November, 1654, feffion, and at the March, 1654/55, feffion till March 31, 1655, when he was eledled by the Houfe a member of the Council." Almoft certainly, then, this committee belonged to the 1655/56 feffion, which was the firft feffion of a new Affembly that held its fecond and final feffion in December, 1656. By fimilar reafoning the Committee for the Levy and the Committee concerning the Adl for Markets belong to the March, 1655/56, feffion, and poffibly the two items in reference to Mr. John Page and Colonel John Flood. Other items, poffibly — in fadt, probably, for there is no reafon to think that the 1655/56 feffion was lefs adlive than its immediate predeceffor — belong to the later feffion, but fufficient data are not at hand for identification. Grand Affembly of 1655/56-56. THIS Affembly, as did the Affembly of 1654/55, held two feffions, the firft in March, 1655/56, and the fecond in the following December. Of the firft feffion of the Affembly fufficient has been faid above. The fecond feffion began the firft of December and continued certainly through the 15th — for two letters written by the Affembly bear that date — and poffibly longer. It paffed various a(5ls and orders, given in the manufcripts already defcribed, fome of them in one manufcript and fome in another, printed in Hening's "Statutes at Large" and the "Virginia Maga- zine of Hiftory and Biography,"" and drew up letters to Oliver Cromwell, lord protector, and John Thurlow, fecretary of ftate, and inftrudions to Edward Diggs, appointed agent of the Colony in England. All the orders are printed in this book, including one claffed by Hening, by overfight, as an adl, as are the letters and inftrudlions referred to above, which are printed from Burk's "Hiftory of Virginia," II, 1 16-1 17, Burk having copied them from the "Bland Manufcript."

THIS affembly met the 13th of March, 1657/58, and continued in feffion certainly through the 3rd of April, 1658, and poffibly longer. The proceedings printed in this volume are not the full Journal of the Houfe for this feffion, but they come much nearer being a full Journal than any proceedings which have gone before, and are evidently — except in the cafe of the few orders of the whole Affembly preferved and printed — the proceedings of the Houfe alone. The feffion was an unufually important one. At it was paffed a body of revifed laws, one hundred and thirty-one in ntunber, prepared by a committee of revifal appointed at the preceding feffion," and there occurred a ftiflf difpute between the Houfe of Burgeffes and the governor and Council as to the relative powers of the two, the Houfe coming off triumphant. Fortunately, the compiler of the Library of Congrefs "Randolph Manufcript," to which the text given in this volimie goes back, gives fufB- ciently full extradls from the original Journal to enable the reader to get a pretty clear imderftanding of the fituation. The proceedings as printed in this volume follow the order as given in the "Randolph Manufcript;" and one or two items omitted both by Hening and in the "Virginia Magazine of Hiftory and Biography" have been inferted. The Houfe on March 26 voted that at the clofe of the feffion the Affembly fhould not be diffolved, but fhould be adjourned to the ift of November.** Whether or not it met at that time is not known, none of the proceedings having been preferved. Grand Affembly of 1658/59. THE next feffion of Affembly — and it was a feffion of a new Affembly — began the 7th of March, 1658/59, and continued through the 15th of March — which is the date of the laft proceedings given in the Library of Congrefs "Randolph Manufcript" — and probably longer. Very important laws were paffed'* and conftitutional queftions fettled. As in the cafe of the proceedings of the preceding feffion, the material printed, the Library of Congrefs "Randolph Manufcript" being the fource, has been given in the order in which it appears in that manufcript. As in the former cafe, the proceedings are thofe of the Houfe fitting feparate from the Council and have the appearance of the later Journals of the Houfe. Much material in the original Journal, however, is evidently omitted. The Appendix. The material in the Appendix may be defcribed briefly as follows: The firft paper is a law drawn up by the governor and Council in the period after the revocation of the charter of the London Company and before the meeting of the firft Grand Affembly called together by authority of the king. The term "law" feems to be the proper one in the premifes, for during that period the governor and Council made up the law-making body as conftituted by the proper authorities in England. The law feems to have a warrant to be inferted here becaufe it fumifhes an interefting example of the kind of laws promulgated by the governor and Council at this time, and it has — fo far as the editor of the volume knows— never been printed before. The original is a manufcript in the Library of Congrefs which is almoft certainly the original copy of the law preferved by the clerk of the Council. " For thefe laws, fee Hening, I, 432-494. »» See p. 107. » Hening, I, 51 6-5*5- [ xlix] The next three papers are letters written by the governor and Council at the clofe of the Grand Affembly of 1628/29 to powerful noblemen in England requefting their influence in the prevention of the tobacco monopoly at that time under contemplation by the king. They fupplement the papers drawn up by the whole Affembly, and are the letters referred to in the commiffion of the General Affembly to Sir Francis Wyatt, Mr. Edward Bennett, and Mr. Michael Mar/hart conftituting them agents to manage the cafe of Virginia at this important jundlure." They are dire(5led, refpedlively, to Vifcount Mandcville, the Earl of Dorfett, and Lord Delaware. The firft of thefe, Henty Montagu, Vifcount Mandeville, was at that time prefident of the Privy Council; the fecond, Edward Sackville, the Earl of Dorfett, was a member of the Privy Council, had always fhown great intereft in Virginia affairs, and was to be appointed in 163 1 a member of the commiffion named to advife fome courfe for the advancement of the planting of Virginia; the third, Henry Weft, Lord Delaware, was the fon of the Lord Delaware fo clofely connedted with the earlier hiftory of the Colony. The text is obtained from contemporary copies of the originals, thefe copies being now in the Library of Congrefs. The letters have never been printed in full before. The original of the next paper, which is in the Britifh Public Record Office, the text here prefented being from the "Bancroft Tranf cripts, " has endorfed on it in the hand- writing of Vifcount Dorchefter, Secretary of State, "The Government of Virginia's Memorial." The form of it, however, fhows it to be, not the memorial as drawn up by the government — that is, the governor and Council— of Virginia, but the fubftance of this memorial as made by Vifcount Dorchefter, or, poffibly, made for him by a clerk. The paper is not dated, but is in the "Calendar of State Papers" given the date of "April ?, 1630." It is inferted here merely becaufe it is of intereft as throwing light on the hiftory of the time and becaufe it has never been printed before. The next docimient, printed on pp. 124, 125, is a letter from the governor and Coun- cil of Virginia to the commiffioners named in England in 1630 to examine into the condition of Virginia and fuggeft means for its improvement. It is the companion paper of the petition drawn up at the fame time by the Houfe of Burgeffes," and is, like that paper, erroneoufly faid in the heading given it by the editor, following the "Bland Manufcript," to be diredled to the Privy Council." The printing of the twentieth adl of the Grand Affembly of 1636/37, next in order, was decided on, becaufe this a<5l, not given in Hening, and not printed in full anywhere, fo far as is known to the editor, is the fole exifting difcovered monument of the Affembly which brought it into being. The letter from Richard Kemp, Secretary of the Colony of Virginia, to Sir Francis Windebank, Secretary of State, dated April 6, 1638, gives a contemporary account of the important feffion of the Affembly of 1637/38, and is, therefore, of courfe, well en- titled to a place in this Appendix. The bill of f ale of the fhip Leopoldus to Walter Chiles is of importance as fhowing the participation of the Houfe of Burgeffes in the commonwealth period in executive trans- adlions. For the order of Affembly fetting forth that the fhip fhould be fold, fee p. 91. The letter from Henry Lawrence, Lord Prefident, and Council of State to the governor and General Affembly of Virginia — the term "General Affembly" is ufed in the letter, and not "Grand Affembly," though the latter was the term ufed in Virginia at the time for the colonial legiflature — might from one point of view have been more properly printed in the body of this volume than in the Appendix, for it is a communication to the General Affembly, fuch a communication as the letter from King Charlesl to the governor, Council, and Affembly of Virginia printed on p. 70. Such a communication was always undoubtedly read before the full Affembly at the feffion following receipt and fpread upon the Journal, certainly of the Houfe, and poffibly of the Council if at that time the " See pp. 50, 51. T See pp. 55, 56. w See the ftatement on p. xxxiii of this Preface in reference to the error. [1] Council kept a Journal of their proceedings as a branch of the legiflative body, which, indeed, is very doubtful. Thus from the point of view of Virginia the letter would be- come a legiflative document. If this letter was adlually fent to Virginia and received there, it would have been read at the feffion held in November, 1654, and fpread upon the Journals, and certainly the compiler of the Library of Congrefs "Randolph Manufcript" or the compiler of the "Bland Manufcript" would have thought it of fufiicient importance for him to copy it in full. It has, however, been noticed by neither. Furthermore, the letter contains the following injunftion relative to the continuance of Colonel Bennett in the oflfice of governor of Virginia: "And to the intent it may not fuflfer any Inconven- ience by the unfixtdnes of the governm' His Highnes hath though fitt to Continue Col- onell Bennett (of whom his Highnes hath received a good Charadter) in execution of the place of Govemo', till his Highnes fhall further fignifie his pleafure in that behalf, which you may in probability expedt by the next Ships." However, the facft is that, though fo far as is known no further communication was in the meanwhile received on the fub- jedl in Virginia, the Houfe of Burgeffes on March 31, 1655, ele(5led Edward Diggs as governor. It is argued that had the Houfe of Burgeffes had the letter from which the above extradl is taken, they would hardly have been fo bold as to go counter to the in- ftru(5tion. Since, then, fome uncertainty exifts as to whether the letter was received in Virginia, it has been printed in the Appendix to this volume rather than in the main body of the volume. The next paper in the Appendix, namely, the order of the Council of State in Eng- land in reference to the appointment of a governor in Virginia, dated December 18, 1657, is merely given as interefting and important fubfidiary hiftorical material, although nothing came of the recommendation to the lord prote(5lor made therein. The next paper, namely, the order of the Houfe of Burgeffes in the 1657/58 fes- fion naming the governor and Council of Virginia until the next meeting of the Ai fembly or until the further pleafure of the fupreme power in England fhould be known, fhould have been printed, undoubtedly, in the body of this volume, as are the fimilar orders of the Commonwealth period," but was omitted by overfight. However, the fame lift is given in the proceedings on p. 113, but not in the fame order. It will be feen from what is there given that the governor named the members of the Council in the firft place, and that they were confirmed by the Houfe. The order given in the Appendix is the formal order placed in front of the laws for the year. It fhould be dated fome time after the 3d of April, the date of entry in the Journal, above referred to. The paper next in order is the order of the Council of State, dated Auguft 31, 1658, fetting forth the reafons why they were impelled to write a letter of advice and inftruc- tion to the governor and Council of Virginia, and giving the letter in full. Before the letter could be dif patched, however, Oliver Cromwell died, and it was neceffary to change fomewhat the wording. The changed letter duly appears incorporated in the Journal of the Houfe of Bur- geffes for the 1658/59 feffion and was copied therefrom in full by the compiler of the Library of Congrefs "Randolph Manufcript." Accordingly, it appears in the body of this volume. The laft paper appearing in this Appendix confifts of certain orders of the March, 1660/61, Af fembly, and fhould have been printed in the preceding volume of this feries with the mafs of other orders of that feffion printed there," but they were not found by the editor in time. They are printed here from the "Virginia Magazine of Hiftory and Biography," from the Library of Congrefs "Randolph Manufcript," which is the fource of thofe, alfo, printed in the preceding volume from Hening's "Statutes at Large." « See pp. 82 and 97.

A REPORTE of the manner of proceeding in the GENERAL ASSEMBLY convented at James Citty in Virginia, July 30. 16 19 coniifting of the Govern^ the Counfell of Eftate, and two Burgeffes ele(3:ed out of eache Incorporation, & Plantation, & being diffolved the 4*^ of Auguft, enfuing. F IRST Sir George Yeardley Knight Govern"' & Captaine general of Virginia, having fent his fmfions all over the Countrey, as well to invite thofe of the Counfell of State that were abfente as aKo for the EleAion of Burgeffes there were chofen and appeared, For James Citty Captaihe William Powell, Enfigne William Spence, For Charles Citty Samuel Sharpe, Samuel Jordan, For the Citty of Henricus Thomas Dowje, John Polentine, For Kiccowtan, Captaine William Tucker, William Capp, For Martin-Brandon Cap'.

For Flower dieu Hundred Enfigne Roffingham, M' Jefferfon, For Captaines Lawnes Plantation Cap' Chriftopher Lawne, Enfigne Wafher. For Captaine Wardes Plantation Captaine Warde, Lieutenant Gibbes. The (4 ) The moft convenient place we could finde to fitt in was the Quire of the Churche, Where Sir George Yeardley the Govemour being fett downe in his accuftomed place, thofe of the Counfel of Eftate fate nexte him on both handes excepte onely the Secretary then appointed Speaker, who fate right before him; John Twine clerke of the General Affembly being placed nexte the Speaker and Thomas Pierfe the Sergeant ftanding at the barre, to be ready for any fervice the Affembly fhould coifiand him. But for as muche as mens affaires doe little prof per where Gods fervice is neglecfted ; all the Burgeffes took their places in the Quire, till a Prayer was faid by M' Bucke, the Minifter, that it would pleafe God to guide us & fandlifie all our proceedings to his owne glory, and the good of this Plantation, Prayer being ended, to the intente that as wee had begim at God Almighty foe wee might proceed w"" awful and due refpeAe towards his Lieutenant, our moft gratious & dread Soveraigne, all the Burgeffes were intreated to retyre them- felves into the body of the Churche; w^*" being done, before they were fully admitted, they were called in order & by name, & fo every man (none ftaggering at it) tooke the oathe of Supremacy, & then entered the Affembly, At Captaine Warde the Speaker tooke exception, as at one that without any Coihiffion or authority, had featted him- felfe either upon the Companies, and then his Plantation could not be lawfull, or on Captaine Martin?, Lande, and fo he was but a limbe or member of him, & fo there could be but two Burgeffes for all. So Captaine Warde was comanded to abfente himfelfe, till fuch time as the Affembly had agreed what was fitt for him to doe. After muche debate they refolved on this order following, An order concluded by the General Affembly concerning Captaine Warde July 30"" 1619 at the opening of the faid Affembly. At the reading of the names of the Burgeffes Exception was taken ag" Cap' Warde as having planted here in Virginia, without any authority or comiffion from the Trefurer Counfell & Company in Englande, But confidering he had bene at fo great chardge & paines to augmente this Colony, and had adventured his owne perfon in the adtion, and fince that time had brought home a goode quantity of fifhe to relieve the Colony by waye of trade; and above all, becaufe the Comiffion for authorifmg the General Affembly admitteth of two Burgeffes out of every plantation with out ref train te or exception, Upon all thefe confiderations fhe Affembly was contented to admitt of him & his Lieu- tenant (as members of their body & Burgeffes into their fociety, provided that the faid Captaine Warde, w"" all expeidition, that is to faye, between this & the nexte genera Affembly (all lawful impediments excepted) fhould procure from the Trefurer & Counfell & Company in Englande a comiffion lawfully to eftablifhe & plant himfelfe & his Company, as the Chiefes of other Plantations have done. And in cafe he doe negle(5t this, he is to ftande to the cenfure of the nexte Generall Affembly. To this Captaine Warde, in the prefence of us all, having given his confente, and undertaken to performe the fame, was together w"" his Lieu", by the voices of the whole Affembly firft admitted to take the oath of Supremacy & then to make up their number, & to fitt amongft them. This being done, the Governour himfelfe alledged that before we proceeded any further, it behooved us to examine, whither it were fitt, that Captaine Martins Burgeffes fhoulde have any place in the Affembly, for as muche as he hath a claufe in his Patente W'' doth not onely exempte him from that equality & uniformity of Lawes & orders, w'='' the great charter faith, are to extende over the whole Colony, but alfo from diverfe fuche lawes as we muft be enforced to make in the general Affembly, That claufe is as followeth. Item, That it fhall and may be lawfull to & for the faid Cap' John Martin his heyers, executours and affignes, to governe, & comaunde all fuch perfon or perfons, as at this time he fhall carry over with him, or that fhall be fente him hereafter, free from any comaunde of the Colony, excepte it be in ayding Sz affifting the fame ag" any forren or domeftical Enemy, Upon ( 5 ) Upon the Motion of the Governour, difcuffed the fame time in the Affembly, enfued this order following An Order of the General Affembly touching a claufe in Captaine Martins Patente at James Citty July 30, 1619. After all the Burgeffes had taken the oath of fupremacy, & were admitted into the Houfe, & all fett downe in their places, a copie of Captaine Martina Patente was pro- duced by the Governour out of a Claufe whereof it appeared, that when the general Affembly had made fome kinde of lawes requifite for the whole Colony, he and his Burgeffes & people might deride the whole company & chufe whether they would obey the fame or no It was therefore ordered in Courte, that the forefaid two Burgeffes fhould w"'drawe themfelves out of the Affembly till fuch time as Captaine Martin had made his perfonall appearance before them, At what time if upon their motion he woulde be contente to quitte & give over that parte of his Patente, and contrary ther- unto woulde fubmitte himfelfe to the general! forme of govememente as all others did, that then his Burgeffes fhould be readmitted, otherwife they were utterly to be excluded, as being fpies, rather than loyal Burgeffes; becaufe they had offered themfelves to be affiftant at the making of the Lawes, w^*' both themfelves, and thofe whom they repre- f en ted might chufe whether they woulde obeye or not. Then came in a complainte ag" Captaine Martin that having fente his Shallop to trade for come into the baye under the comaunde of Enfigne Harrifon, the faide Enfigne fhoulde affirme to one Thomas Davis, of Pajpaheighs, Gent (as the faid Thomas Davis depofed upon oathe) that they had made a harde voiage, had they not mett w"" a Canoa coming Out of a creeke, where their Shallop could not goe. For the Indians refufing to fell their Come, thofe of the fhallop entered the Canoa w"' their armes & tooke it by force, meafuring out the come w"" a baskett they had, into the fhallop and (as the faid Enfigne Harrifon faith) given them fatisfa(!T;ion in Copper, Beades, and other trucking Stuffe, Hitherto M' Davys upon his oath. Further more it was fignified from Opochancano to the Governour that thefe people had complaind to him to procure them iuftice. For w'^'' confiderations & becaufe fuche outrages as this might breed danger and loffe of life to others of the Colony, w*^*" fhould have leave to trade in the Baye hereafter, & for prevention of the like violences ag" the Indians in time to come, this order following was agreed on by the Generall Affembly : A fecond order made againft Captaine Martin, at James Citty, July 30"" 1619. It was alfo ordered by the Affembly the fame daye, that in cafe Captaine Martin and the ging of his fhallop could not throughly anfwere an accufation of an outrage cotnitted againft a certaine Canoa of Indians in the Baj'e, that then it was thought reafon (his Patente notw"'ftanding the authority whereof he had in that cafe abufed) he fhoulde from henceforth take leave of the Governor as other men, & fhould putt in fecurity, that his people fhall comitte no fuch outrage any more Upon this a letter or warrant was drawen in the name of the whole Affembly to fumon Captaine Martin to appeare before them in forme following: By the Govern' and generall Affembly of Virginia. Captaine Martine, we are to requeft you upon fight hereof, with all convenient fpeed to repaire hither to James Citty, to treate & conferre w"' us about fome matters of efpiciale importance, w^ conceme both us, and the whole Colony, & your felfe. And of this we pray you not to faile, James Citty, July 30"" 16 19. To our very loving friend Capt"' John Martin Ef quire, Mafter of the Ordinance. Thefe obftacles removed, the Speaker, who a long time had bene extreame fickly, and therefore not able to paffe through long harangues, delivered in briefe to the whole affembly the occafions of their meeting, W'^'' done, he read unto them the comiffion for eftablifhing the Counfell of Eftate & the Generall Affembly, wherein their duties were defcribed to the Hfe, Having (6 ) Having thus prepared them, he read over unto them the greate Charter or comiffion of priviledges, orders & lawes fente by Sir George Yeardly out of Englande w'^'' for the more eafe of the Committees, having divided into fower books, he read the former two the fame forenoon, for expeditions fake, a fecond time over, & fo they were referred to the perufall of twoe Comittees, w^*" did reciprocally confider of either, & accordingly brought in their opinions. But fome man may here objedle to what ende we fhoulde prefume to refferre that to the examination of Committees, w"" the Counfell & Company in Eng- lande had already refolved to be perfe(5l & did expedle nothinge but our affente there unto. To this we anfwere, that we did it not to the ende to corredle or controll any thing therein contained, but onely in cafe we fhould finde ought not perfe(5lly fquaring w"" the ftate of this Colony, or any lawe w^*- did preffe or binde too harde, that wee might by waye of humble petition feeke to have it redreffed; efpecially becaufe this great Charter is to binde us & our heyers for ever. The names of the Comittees for perufmg the firft booke of the fower: I. Captain William Powell, 2. Enfigne Rofingham, 3. Captaine Warde, 4. Captaine Tucker, 5. M' Shelley, 6. Thomas Doufe, 7. Samuel Jordan, 8. M' Boys. The names of the Comittees for perufmg the fecond booke : I. Captaine Lawne, 2. Captaine Graves, 3. Enfigne Spence, 4. Samuel Sharpe, 5. William Cap, 6. M' Pawlett, 7. M' Jeff erf on, 8. M' Jack/on. Thefe Comittees thus appointed, we brake up the firft forenoons Affembly. After dinner the Govemo' and thofe that were not of the Comittees fate a feconde time, while the faid Comittees were employed in the perufall of thofe twoe bookes. And whereas the Speaker had propounded fower feverall obje(5ls for the Affembly to confider on namely firft, the great charter of orders, lawes & priviledges, Secondly which of the inftru(5lions given by the Counfell in England to my Lord le Warre, Captaine Argall or Sir George Yeardley, might conveniently putt on the habite of Lawes; Thirdly what Lawes might iffue out of the private conceipte of any of the Burgeffes, or any other of the Colony ; & laf tly what petitions were fitt to be fente home for Englande It pleafed the Govemo' for expeditions fake to have the fecond objedle of the fower to be examined & prepared by himfelfe and the non Corhittee. Wherein after having fpente fome three houres conference, the twoe Comittees brought in their opinions concerning the twoe former bookes (the fecond of w=^ beginneth at thefe wordes of the Charter.) And for- afmuche as oiu- intente is to eftablifh one equall & uniforme kinde of government over all Virginia &c) w^*" the whole Affembly, becaufe it was late deferred to treatt of till the next morning. Satturday July 3 * • THE nexte daye therefore out of the opinions of the faid Comittees, it was agreed, thofe Petitions enfuing fhould be framed, to be prefented to the Treafurer Counfel & Company in England. Upon the Comittees perufall of the firft Book, the Generall Affembly, doe become moft humble fuitours to their lo"' and to the reft of that hon*"'' Counfell and renowned Company, that albeit they have bene pleas'd to allotte unto the Govern' to themfelves together w"" the Counfell of Eftate here, & to the Officers of Incorporations, certain large portions of lande to be layde out w"'in the limites of the fame, yet that they would vouchfafe alfo, that fuch groundes as heretofore had bene granted by patent to the antient Planters by former Govemours, that had from the Company received Comiffion fo to doe, might not nowe, after fo muche labour & cofte, & fo many yeares habitation be taken from them. And to ( 7 ) to the ende that no man might doe or fuffer any wrong in this kinde, that they woulde favour us fo muche (if they meane to graunte this our petition) as to fende us notice, what coriiiffion or authority for graunting of landes they have given to cache particular Govemour in times pafte. The feconde petition of the General Affembly framed by the Comittees out of the fecond book is, that the Trefurer & Company in England would be pleafed w^"* as muche convenient fpeede as may bee to fende men hither to occupie their landes belonging to the fower Incorporations, as well for their owne behoofe and proffitt as for the maintenance of the Counfel of Eftate, who are no we to their extream hindrance often drawen far from their private bufines, & likewife that they will have a care to fende tenants to the minifters of the fower Incorporations to manure their gleab, to the intente that the allowance they have allotted them of 200 li. a yeare may the more eafily be railed. The thirde Petition humbly prefented by this General Affembly to the Treafurer, Counfell & Compy is, that it may plainely be expreffed in the great Comiffion (as indeed it is not) that the antient Planters of both fortes, viz., fuche as before Sir Thomas Dales departure were come hither upon their owne charges, and fuche alfo as were brought hether upon the Companies cofte, maye have their fecond, third, & more divifions fucceffively in as lardge and free manner as any other Planters. Alfo that they will be pleafed to allowe to the male children, of them & of all others begotten in Virginia, being the onely hope of a Pofterity, a fmgle fhare a piece, and fhares for their wives as for themfelves, becaufe that in a newe plantation it is not knowen whether man or woman be the moft neceffary. Their fourth Petition is to befeech the Treafurer Counfell & Company that they would be pleafed to appoint a Sub-Trefurer here to colle(5le their rentes, to the ende that the Inhabitants of this Colony be not tyed to an impoffibility of paying the fame yearly to the Treafurer in England, & that they would enjoine the faid Sub Treafurer not precifely according to the Letter of the Charter to exadle mony of us (whereof we have none at all, as we have no minte) but the true value of the rente in comodity. The fifte Petition is to befeeche the Treafurer the Counfell & Company, that towards the erefting of the Univerfity and CoUedge, they will fende, when they fhall thinke moft convenient, workmen of all fortes fitt for that purpofe. The fixte and lafte is, that they will be pleafed to change the favage name of Kiccow- tan, & to give that Incorporation a newe name. Thefe are the feveral Petitions drawen by the Comittees out of the two former bookes w"^*" the whole general Affembly in maner & forme above fett downe doe moft humbly offer up and prefent to the favourable conftruAion of the Treafurer Counfell & Company in England, Thefe petitions thus concluded on, thofe twoe Comittees broughte in a reporte, what they had obferved in the two latter bookes, w^*" was nothing elfe, but that the perfeAion of them was fuche as they could finde nothing therein fubjecft to exception. Only the Govern" particular opinion to my felfe in private hathe bene, as touching a claufe in the thirde booke, that in thefe doubtfull times between us and the Indians, it would behoove us not to make fo lardge diftances between Plantation & Plantation as ten miles but for our more ftrength & fecurity to drawe nearer together. At the fame time, there remaining no farther fcruple in the mindes of the Affembly touching the faid great Charter of Lawes orders and privUedges, the Speaker putt the fame to the queftion, & fo it had both the general affent & the applaufe of the whole Affembly ; who as they profeffed themfelves in the firf t place moft fubmiffively thankfull to Almighty God therefore, fo they commaunded the Speaker to retume (as nowe he doth) their due and humble thankes to the Treafurer, Counfell & Company for fo many privilidges & favours as well in their owne names, as in the names of the whole Colony whom they reprefented. This being difpatched, we fell once more to debating of fuche inftrudlions given by the Counfell in England to feveral Gover°" as might be converted into lawes, the laft whereof ( 8 ) whereof was the eftablifhment of the price of Tobacco, namely of the beft at 3s and of the fecond at i8d the pounde. At the reading of this the Affembly thought good to fend for M' Abraham Pcrfey, the Cape- Marchant to pubUfhe this inftrucftion to him, & to demande of him if he knewe any impediment why it might not be admitted of. His anfwere was that he had not as yet received any fuche order from the Adventurers of the Magazin in England, And not w"'ftanding he fawe the authority was good, yet he was unwilling to yield, till fuche time as the Gov" & Affembly had layd their comandment upon him, out of the authority of the forefaid Inftrudlions as followeth: By the General Affembly We will & require you, M' Abraham Perfey, Cape Marchant, from this daye for- warde to take notice, that according to an article in the Inftru(5tions confirmed by the Treafurer, Counfell & Company in Englande at a General quarter Courte, bothe by voices and under their handes & the Comon feale, and given to Sir George Yeardley, Knight, this prefent governour, Dec' i, 161 8, that you are bounde to accepte of the Tobacco of the Colony, either for commodities or upon bills at three fhillings the beft, & the fecond forte at iSd the pounde, and this fhall be yovu" fuflficient difchardge. James Citty out of the faid General Affembly July 31, 1619. At the fame time the Inftru(5tions convertible into Lawes were referred to the confideration of the above named Committees, viz., the general Inftrudtions to the firft Committee and the particular Inftru(5lions to the fecond, to be returned by them into the Affembly on Mimday Morning. M Sunday Aug. i R. SHELLEY one of the Burgeffes deceaffed. Monday Aug. 2 CAPTAINE John Martin (according to the fuifions fent him on Friday, July, 30.) made his perfonall appearance at the barre, when as the Speaker having, fiirft read unto him the orders of the Affembly that concerned him, he pleaded lardgely for himfelf to them both, & indevoured to anfwere fome other thinges that were objedted ag" his Patente, In fine being demanded out of the former order, whether he wovild quitte that claufe of his Patent, w"" (quite otherwife then Sir William Throckmorton^, Captain Chriftopher Latvnes, and other mens patentes) exempteth himfelfe & his people from all fervices of the Colonic, excepte onely in cafe of warre ag" a forren or domefticall eneme. His anfwere was negative, that he would not infringe any parte of his Patente. Whereupon it was refolved by the Affembly, that his Burgeffes fhould have no admittance. To the fecond order his anfwere was affirmative, namely, that (his Patente not- withftanding) whenfoever he fhould fende into the Baye, to trade, he woulde be contente to putt in fecurity to the Governour for the good behaviour of his people towardes the Indians. It was at the fame time further ordered by the Affembly that the Speaker in their names fhould (as he nowe doe) humbly demande of the Treafurer Counfell and Company an expofition of this one claufe in Captaine Martins Patente, namely where it is faid. That he is to enjoye his landes in as lardge & ample a manner to all intentes & purpofes, as any Lord of any manours in England doth holde his grounde, out of w"" fome have colledled ' The cape merchant, or cap-merchant (that is, head merchant), was the officer in charge of the company's fupplies. (9 ) collecSled, that he might by the fame graunte protedle men, from paying their debtes, and from diverfe other dangers of Lawe, The leaft the Affembly can alledge againft this claufe is, that it is obfcure, & that it is a thing impoffible for us here to know the Pre- rogatives of all the Manours in Englande. The Affembly therefore humbly befeecheth their Lop' & the reft of the Hon'''^ boarde, that in cafe they fhall finde any thing in this or in any other parte of his graunte, whereby that claufe towardes the conclufion of the great charter {viz that all grauntes as well of the one forte as of the other refpedtively, be made w"' equall favour & graunts of like liberties & imunities as neer as may be, to the ende that all complainte of partiality and unindifferency may be avoided) might in any forte be contradidled; or the uniformity and equality of lawes & orders extending over the whole Colony might be impeached; That they would be pleafed to remove any fuch hinderance, as may diverte out of the true courfe the free & publique current of Juftice. Upon the fame grounde & reafon their L^p" together with the reft of the Counfell & Company, are humbly befought by the Generale Affembly, that if in that other claufe W"" exempteth Captaine Martin & his people from all fervices of the Colony «&c they fhall finde any refiftance ag^' that equality and uniformity of Lawes & orders intended no we by them to be eftablifhed over the whole Colony, that they would be pleafed to reforme it. In fine, whereas Captaine Martin for thofe ten fhares allowed him for his perfonal adventure, & for his adventure of 70" befides doth claime 500 acres a fhare: that the Treafurer, Counfell & Company woulde vouchfafe to give notice to the Govemour here, what kinde of fhares they meante he fhould have, when they gave him his Patente. The premiffes about Captaine Martin thus refolved the Committie appointed to confider, what inftrucftions are fitt to be converted into Lawes, brought in their opinions, & firft of fome of the general inftru(5lions. Here begin the lawes drawen out of the Inftru<5tions given by his Mat'" Counfell of Virginia in England to My Lo: La warre, Captaine Argall, & Sir George Yeardly, knight. By this prefent General Affembly be it enadled that noe injury of oppreffion be wrought by the Englifh ag^' the Indians whereby the prefent peace might be difturbed, & antient quarrels might be revived. And farther be it ordained that the Chicohomini are not to be excepted out of this Lawe, untill either that fuch order come out of Englande, or that they doe provoke us by fome newe injury Againft Idlenefs, gaming, drunkennes, & exceffe in apparel, the Affembly hath enacfted as foUoweth Firft in deteftation of Idlers, be it enacted, that if any man be founde, to live as an Idler or runegate though a freed man, it fhall be lawful! for that Incorporation or Plantation to w^*" he belongeth to appoint him a M' to ferve for wages till he fhewe apparant fignes of amendment. Againft gaming at Dice & Cardes be it ordained by this prefent Affembly, that the winner or winners fhall lofe all his or their winnings & both winners & loofers fhall forfaite ten fhillings a man, one ten fhillinges whereof to goe to the difcoverer, & the reft to charitable & pious ufes in the Incorporation where the faults are coifiitted. Againft drunkenes be it aKo decreed, that if any private perfon be found culpable thereof, for the firft time he is to be reprooved privately by the Minifter, the fecond time, publiquel3^ the Thirde time to lye in boltes 1 2 houres in the Houfe of the Provoft Marfhall & to paye his fees, and if he ftill continue in that vice, to undergo fuche fevere punifhment, as the Govemo' & Councell of Eftate fhall think fitt to be infii(5ted on him. But if any Officer offende in this crime, the firft time he fhall receive a reproof from the Govemour, the fecond time he fhall openly be reprooved in the Churche by the minifter, & the third time he fhall firft be comitted & then degraded. Provided it be underftood, that the Govern' hath alwaies power to reftore him, when he fhall, in his difcretion thinke fitte Againft (lO) Againft exceffe of apparell, that every man be ceffed in the Churche for all publique contributions, if he be unmarried according to his owne apparrell, if he be married, according to his owne & his wives, or either of their apparell. As touching the Inftrudtion of drawing fome of the better difpofed of the Indians to converfe w"" our people & to live & labour among them, the Affembly who know well their difpofitions, thinke it fitte to enjoine, at leaft to counfell thofe of the Colony neither utterly to rejedle them, nor yet to drawe them to come in. But in cafe they will of themfelves come voluntarily to places well peopled there to doe fervice, in killing of Deere, Fifhing, beatting Come, & other workes that then five or fixe may be admitted into every fuch place, and no more, & that w"" the confente of the Govemour, provided that good guard in the night be kept upon them, for generally (though fome amongft many may proove good) they are a moft trecherous people, & quickly gone when they have done a villany. And it were fitt, a houfe were builte for them to lodge in apart by themfelves, and lone inhabitants by no meanes to entertaine them. Be it enacfted by this prefent affembly, that for laying a furer foundation of the converfion of the Indians to Chriftian Religion, eache towne, citty Borrough, & partic- ular plantation do obtaine unto themfelves by juft meanes a certaine number of the natives Children to be educated by them in true Religion & civile courfe of life. Of w'' children the moft towardly boyes in witt & graces of nature to be brought up by them in the firfte Elements of litterature, fo as to be fitted for the CoUedge intended for them, that from thence they may be fent to that worke of converfion. As touching the bufmes of planting come, this prefent Affembly doth ordaine, that yeare by yeare, all & every houfeholder and houfeholders, have in ftore for every fervant he or they fhall keep, & alfo for his or their owne perfons, whether they have any Servants or no, one fpare barrell of come to be delivered out yearly either upon fale or exchange, as need fhall require. For the negledl of w^"" duty he fhall be Subjedt to the cenfure of the Govern' & Covmcell of Eftate, provided alwayes, that for the firft yeare of every newe man this Lawe fhall not be in force. About the Plantation of Mulberry trees be it enadled that every man, as he is feated upon his divilion, doe for feven yeares together every yeare plante & maintaine in growth fixe Mulberry trees at the leafte and as many more as he fhall thinke con- veniente, & as his virtue & induftry fhall moove him to plante, and that all fuch perfons as fhall negledl the yearly planting & maintaining of that fmall proportion, fhall be Subjedle to the cenfure of the Govemour, & the Councell of Eftate Be it farther enacfted, as concerning filke-flaxe that thofe men that are upon their divifion or fettled habitation doe this next yeare plante & Dreffe loo plantes w^'' being founde a comodity may farther be encreafed. And whofoever do faile in the perform- ance of this fhall be fubjedl to the punifhment of the Govemour & CounceU of Eftate. For hempe alfo both Englijhe & Indian, & for Englifhe Flaxe & Annifeeds, wee doe require & enjoine all houfeholders of this Colony, that have any of thofe feeds, to make tryal thereof the nexte feafon. Moreover be it enacfted by this prefent Affembly, that every houfeholder doe yearly plante & maintaine ten vines, untill they have attained to the arte & experience of dreffmg a vineyard, either by their owne induftry, or by the inftrudtion of fome Vigne- ron. And that upon what penalty foever, the Governo' & Councell of Eftate fhall think fitt to impofe upon the negledlers of this Adte. Be it alfo enadled, that all neceffary tradefmen, or foe many as need fhall require, fuche as are come over fince the departure of Sir Thomas Dale, or that fhall hereafter come fhall worke at their trades for any other man, eache one being payde according to the qualitye of his trade & worke, to be eftimated, if he fhall not be contented, by the Govemo' & Officers of the place where he worketh. Be it further ordained by this General Affembly and wee doe by thefe Prefents enadle, that all contradls made in England betweene the owners of lande & their Tenants and (II) and Servantes w^"" they fhall fend hither, may bee caufed to be duly performed, and that the offenders be punifhed as the Gover""' & Councell of Eftate fhall think juft & convenient. Be it eftablifhed alfo by this prefent Affembly, that no crafty or advantageous meanes be fufferd to be putt in pradtice for the inticing awaye the Tenants & Servants of any particular plantation from the place where they are Seatted. And that it fhall be the duty of the Governo' & Councell of Eftate moft feverely to punifhe bothe the feducers & the feduced, and to returne thefe latter into their former places. Be it further ena(5led, that the orders for the Magazine lately made be exadlly kepte, & that the Magazine be preferved from wronge & fmifter pradlifes, & that accord- ing to the orders of Courte in Englatide, all Tobacco & Saffafras be brought by the planters to the Cape Marchant till fuche time as all the goods nowe or heretofore fent for the Magazine be taken off their handes at the prices agreed on, that by this meanes the fame going for Englande into one hande, the price thereof, may be upheld the better. And to the ende that all the whole Colony may take notice of the laft order of Courte made in Englande, & all thofe whom it concerneth may know how to obferve it wee holde it fitt to publifhe it here for a Lawe among the reft of our Lawes, the w*' order is as followeth. Upon the 26 of Odober 161 8, it was ordered that the Magazine fhould continue during the terme formerly prefixed, & that certaine abufes nowe complained of fhould be reformed; and that for preventing of all impofitions, fave the allowance of 25 in the hundred proffitt the Govemo" fhall have an invoice as well as the Cape Marchant, that if any abufe in the fale of the goods be offered, hee upon intelligence & due examination thereof fhall fee it corrected. And for the encouragement of particular hundreds, as Smyths Hundred, Martins Hundred, Lawnes Hundred, & the like, it is agreed, that what comodities are reaped upon anie of thefe Severall Colonies, it fhall be lawful! for them to return the fame to their owne Adventurers. Provided that the fame comodity be of their owne growing, w"'out trading w"" any other, in one entyre lumpe, & not difperfed, & that at the determination of the jointe ftocke the goods then remaining in the Magazine fhall be bought by the faid particular Colonies before any other goods w=^ fhall be fente by private men. And it is moreover ordered, that if the Lady La wane, the Lady Dale, Captain Bargrave, & the reft, would unite themfelves into a fettled Colony, they might be capable of the fame priviledges that are graunted to any of the forefaid Hundreds. Hitherto the Order. All the general Affembly by voices concluded not only the acceptance & obferva- tion of this Order, but of the Inftrudlion alfo to Sir George Yeardley next preceding the fame. Provided firft that the Cape Marchant do accept of the Tobacco of all and everie the Planters here in Virginia, either for goods or upon Bills of Exchange at three fhiUings the pounde the befte, & i8d the feconde forte. Provided alfo that the billes be duly payde in Englande. Provided in the third place, that if any other befides the Magazine have at any time any neceffary comodity w^"" the Magazine doth wante, it fhall & may be lawfull for any of the Colony to buy the faid neceffary Comodity of the faid party, but upon the termes of the Magazine viz allowing no more gaine then 25 in the Hundred, & that with the leave of the Govemour, Provided laftly, that it may be lawfull for the Govern' to give leave to any Mariner, or any other perfon that fhall have any fuche neceffary comodity wanting to the Magazine, to carrie home for England fo much Tobacco or other naturall corfiodities of the Coimtry, as his Cuftomers fhall pay him for the faid neceffary comodity or comodities. And to the ende we may not onely, perfuade & incite men, but inforce them alfo thoroughly & loyally to cure their Tobacco before they bring it to the Magazine, be it enadled, and by thefe prefents we doe enadle, that if upon the judgment of fower fufBcient men of any incorporation where the Maga- zine fhall refide (having firft taken their oaths to give true fentence, twoe whereof to be chofen by the Cape Marchant, & twoe by the Incorporation) any Tobacco whatfoever fhall not proove vendible at the fecond price, that it fhall there immediately be burnt before the owners face. Hitherto fuche Lawes as were drawen out of the Inftrudlions. Tuefday, (12) Tuefday Aug. 3, 16 19. THIS Morning a thirde forte of Lawes (fuche as might proceed out of every mans private conceit) were read & refferred by halves to the fame comittees w'^'' were from the beginning. This done Captaine William Powell prefented to the affembly a petition, to have juftice againft a lewd and trecherous fervant of his, who by falfe accufation given up in writing to the Governour fought not onely to get him depofed from his govern- ment of James Citty, and utterly (according to the Proclamation) to be degraded from the Place & title of a Captaine, but to take his life from him alfo. And fo out of the faid Petition fprang this order following Captaine William Powell prefented a petition to the General Affembly againft one Thomas Garneit a fervant of his not onely for extream negledl of his bufmes, to the great lofs & prejudice of the faid Captaine, and for openly and impudently abufmg his Houfe, in fight both of Mafter and Miftreffe, through wan tonnes w"" a woman fervant of theirs, a widdowe, but alfo for falfely accufmg him to the Govemo"' both of Drunken- nes, & Thefte, & befides for bringing his fellow fervants to teftifie on his fide, wherein they juftly failed him. It was thought fitt by the General Affembly (the Governour himfelf giving fentence) that he fhould ftand fower dayes with his eares nayled to the Pillory, viz Wednefday Aug. 4"" and fo likewife Thurfday, fryday, & Satturday next following, & every of thofe fower days fhould be publiquely whipped. Now as touching the neglefte of his worke, what fatisfadlion ought to be made to his M' for that, is referred to the Governour & Councell of Eftate. The fame morning the lawes above written drawen out of the Inftrucftions were read, & one by one thoroughly examined, & then paffed once again the general confente of the whole affembly. This Afternoon the committies brought in a reporte, what they had done as con- cerning the third forte of Lawes, the difcuffing whereof fpente the refidue of that daye. Excepte onely the confideration of a Petition of M' John Rolfes againft Cap' John Martin for writing a Letter to him wherein (as M^ Rolfe alledgeth) he taxeth him both unfeemly and amiffe of certaine things wherein he was never faulty, and befides cafteth fome afperfion upon the prefent government, w"^"" is the moft temperate & juft that ever was in this country, too milde indeed for man\' in this Colony, whom unwonted liberty hath made infolente, and not to know themfelves. This Petition of M' Rolfes was thought fitt to be referred to the Councell of State. fFednefday Aug. ^^^ THIS daye (by reafon of extream heat both pafte, and likely to enfue, & by that meanes, of the alteration of the healthes of diverfe of the General Affembly) the Governour who himfelfe alfo was not well, refolved fhould be the laft of this firft Seffion, So in the Morning the Speaker (as he was required by the Affembly) redd over all the Lawes and orders that had formerly paffed the Houfe, to give the fame yett one review more & to fee, whether there were any thing to be amended, or that might be excepted againfte, this being done, the third forte of Lawes, W^"* I am nowe coming to fett downe, were read over & thoroughly difcuffed, w^** together w"" the former did now paffe the lafte and finall confente of the General Affembly.

Here ende the Lawes. All thefe lawes being thus concluded & confented to, as aforefaide Captaine Henry Spelman was called to the Barre, to anfwer to certaine mifdemeano" layde to his chardge by Robert Poole interpretour, upon his Oath (whofe examination the Gover ■" fente into Englande in the Projperus) of W^ accufations of Poole fome he acknowledged for true, but the greateft part he denyed. Whereupon the General Affembly having throughly heard, & confidered his fpeeches, did conftitute this order following againft him, Aug. (15) Aug. 4"' 1619 This day Captaine Henry Spelman was convented before the General Affembly, & was examined by a relation upon oath of one Robert Poole Interpreter what con- ference had paffed between the faid Spelman & Opochancano at Pooles meeting with him in Opochancanos courte. Poole chardgeth him, he fpake very unreverently & malicioufly ag" this prefent Govern' wherby the honour & dignity of his place & perfon, & fo of the whole Colonic, might be brought into Contempte, by w"^* meanes what mifchiefs might enfue from the Indians by difturbance of the Peace or otherwife, may eafily be conjedlured. Some things of this relation Spelman confeffed, but the moft parte he denyed, excepte onely one matter of importance, & that was, that he hade informed Opochancano, that w"'in a yeare there would come a Governour greatter than this that nowe is in place. By w=^ & by other reportes, it feemeth he hath alienated the minde of Opochancano from this prefent Governour, & brought him in much difefteem both w"" Opochancano & the Indians, & the whole Colony in danger of their Slippery defignes. The general affembly upon Pooles teftimony onely not willing to putt Spelman to the rigour & extremity of the Lawe, w'' might perhaps, both fpeedily & defervedly have taken his life from him (upon the witnefs of one whom he muche excepted ag") were pleafed for the prefent to cenfure him rather out of that his confeffion above written, then out of any other proofTe. Several & fharpe punifhments were pronounced ag" him by diverfe of the Affembly. But in fine the whole courte by voices united did encline to the moft favourable, w^"" was that for this mifdemeanour he fhould firft be degraded of his title of Cap', at the head of the Troupe, & fhould be condemn ■• to per- forme feven yeares fervice to the Colony, in the nature of an Interpreter to the Governour. This fentence being read to Spelman he as one that had in him more of the Savage then of the Chriftian, muttered certaine wordes to himfelfe, neither fhewing any remorfe for his offences, nor yet any thankfulnefs to the Affembly for theire fo favourable cenfure, w'' he at one time or another (Gods grace not wholly abandoning him) might w"" fome one fervice have been able to have redeemed." This day alfo did the Inhabitants of Pafpaheigh alias Argalls Towne, prefent a petition to the General Affembly to give them an abfolute difchardge from certaine Sondes wherein they ftand bound to Captaine 5awMe// Argall for the payment of 600" & to Captaine William Powell at Captaines Argalls appointment, for the payment of 50" more To Captaine Argall for 15 Skore acres of woody ground called by the name of Argalls Towne or Pafpaheigh; to Captaine Powell in refpedt of his paines in clearing the grounde, & building the houfes for W*" Captaine Argall ought to have given him fatisfac- tion. Now, the general Affembly being doubtful whether they have any power & authority to difchardge the faid bondes, doe by thefe prefents (at the Inftance of the faid Inhabitants of Pafpaheighs, alias Martins hundred people) become moft humble futours to the Treafurer, Counfell & Company in England that they will be pleafed to gett the faid bondes for 600" to be cancelled; for afmuch as in their great comiffion they have expreffly & by name appointed that place of Pafpaheigh for parte of the Gov- emours Lande. And wheras Captain William Powell is payde his 50" w"^"" Captaine Argall enjoined the faide Inhabitantes to prefente him with, as parte of the bargaine, the general affembly at their intreaty do become futours on their behalfe, that Cap' Argall, by the Counfell & Company in Englande may be compelled either to reftore the faid 50" from thence, or elfe that reftitution thereof be made here, out of the goods of the faid Captaine Argall. The laft adle of the General Affembly was a contribution to gratifie their Officers as foUoweth Aug. 4th 1619 It is fully agreed att this Generall Affembly, that in regarde of the great paines & labour of the Speaker of this Affembly (who not only firft formed the fame affem- bly & to their great eafe & expedition, reduced all matters to be treatted of into a ' This paragraph is croffed out in the original. (16) a ready method, but alfo, his indifpofition notw"'ftanding wrote or didlated all orders & other expedients, & is yett to write feverall bookes for all the feverall Incorporations & plantations, both of the great Charter, & of all the Lawes) & likewife in refpedte of the diligence of the Gierke & Sergeant officers thereto belonging: That every man & manfervant of above 1 6 yeares of age fhall pay into the handes & Cuf tody of the Bur- geffes of every Incorporation & plantation one pound of the beft Tobacco, to be dis- tributed to the Speaker, & likewife to the Gierke & Sergeant of the Affembly, according to their degrees & rankes, the whole bulk whereof to be delivered into the Speakers handes, to be divided accordingly. And in regard to the Provoft MarfhaU of James Citty hath alfo given fome attendance upon the faid General Affembly, he is alfo to have a fhare out of the fame. And this is to begin to be gathered the 24"" of February nexte. In conclufion the whole Affembly comanded the Speaker (as nowe he doth) to prefent their humble excufe to the Treafurer Gounfell & Gompany in England, for being conf trained by the in temperature of the Weather, & the falling fick of diverfe of the Burgeffes, to breake up fo abruptly before they had fo much as putt their Lawes to the ingroffmg, this they wholly committed to the fidelity of their Speaker, who therein (his Gonfcience telles him) hath done the part of an honeft man, Otherwife he would eafily be found out by the Burgeffes themfelves, who w"" all expedition, are to have fo many bookes of the fame Lawes, as there be both Incorporations & Plantations, in the Golony. In the feconde place, the Affembly doth moft humbly crave pardon, that in fo fhort a fpace they could bring .their matter to no more perfection, being for the prefent enforced to fend home Titles rather then Lawes, Propofitions rather than refolutions. Attempts then Atchievements, hoping their courtefy will accepte our poore indevour, and their wifedom will be ready to fupporte the weaknes of this little flocke. Thirdly, the General Affembly doth humbly befeech the Treafurer Gounfell & Gompany, that albeit it belongeth to them onely to aUowe or to abrogate any Lawes w"'*' we fhall here inafte, and that it is their righte fo to doe; yet that it would pleafe them not to take it in ill parte, if thefe Lawes, w^*" we have nowe brought to light, do paffe currant & be of force, till fuche time as we may knowe their further pleafure out of Englande, for otherwife this people (who nowe at length have gott the raines of former fervitude into their owne fwindge-) would in fhort time grow fo infolent, as they would fhake off all govern"", & there would be no living among them. Their laft humble fuit is, that the faid Gounfell & Gompany would be pleafed, as foon as they fhall find it convenient, to make good their promife fett down at the con- clufion of their coihif fion for ef tablifhing the Gounfell of Ef tate & the General Affembly : namely that they will give us power to allowe or difaUowe of their Orders of Gourte, as his Majefty hath given them power to allowe or to rejedl our Lawes. In fume Sir George Yeardly the Gover"' prorogued the faid General Affembly till the firft of Marche which is to fall out this prefent yeare 161 9, And in the mean feafon diffolved the fame. ' "Swindge" is a miffpelling of "fwinge," which is an obfolete word meaning fway, or power. (17) [From Neill's Virginia Company of London, pp. 274-286.

IFroni Neill's Hiftory of the Virginia Tompany of London, pp. 407-411.] The anfwere of the Generall Affembly in Virginia to a Declaration of the ftate of the Colonic in the 12 yeers of S^ Thomas Smiths Gonerment, exhibited by Alderman John J on and others. HOLDINGE it a fmne againft God, and ou' owne fufferinge, to fufifer the World to be abufed w"" untrue reportes, and to giue unto vice the reward of vertue, we in the name of the whole Colonic of Virginia, in our generall affembly, many of us hauing beene eye witneffes and patients of thofe tymes haue framed out of our duty to this country, and loue unto truth, this Difmaskinge of thofe prayfes w*^'' are contayned in the forefaid declarationes. In thofe 12 yeers of S' Tho: Smith his gouerment, we auerr that the Colony for y moft p'te remayned in greate want and mifcry under moft feuere and Crewell lawes f ent ouer in printe, and contrary to the expreffe Letter of the Kinge in his moft gracious Charter, and as mercyleffly executed, often times wthout tryall or Judgment. The allowance in thofe tymes for a man was only eight ounces of meale and half a pinte of peafe for a daye the one & y* other mouldy, rotten, full of Cobwebs and Maggots loath- fome to man and not fytt for beafts, w"^*" forced many to flee for reliefe to the Savage Enemy, who being taken againe were putt to fundry deaths as by hanginge, fhootinge and breakinge uppon the wheele & others were forced by famine to filch for their bellies, of whom one for fteelinge 2 or 3 pints of oatmeale had a bodkinge thruft through his tongue and was tyed w"" a chaine to a tree untill he ftarued, yf a man through his fick- nefs had not been able to worke, he had no allowance at all, and fo confequently perifhed many through thefe extremities, being weery of life digged holes in the earth and hidd themfelues till they famifhed. We cannott for this our fcarfitie blame our Coiiianders heere, in refpedl that o' fuftenance was to come from England, for had they at that time giuen us noe better allowance we had perifhed in generall, fo lamentable was ovir fcarfitie that we were conf trained to eat Doggs, Catts, ratts. Snakes, Toad-ftooles, horfehides and w' nott, one man out of the myfery he endured, killinge his wiefe powdered her upp to eate her, for w"" he was burned. Many befides fedd on the Corps of dead men, and one who had gotten unfatiable, out of cuftome to that foode could not be reftrayned, until fuch tyme as he was executed for it, and indeed foe miferable was our eftate that the happyeft day that euer fome of them hoped to fee, was when the Indyans had killed a mare they wifhing whilft fhe M^as boylinge y' S' Tho: Smith was uppon her backe in the kettle. And whereas it is afirmed that there were very fewe of his Ma"^' fubiedls left in thofe dayes and thofe of the meaneft ranke, we anfwere y' for one that now dyes, there then perifhed fiuc, many bcinge of Auncyent Howfes and borne to eftates of 1000" by the yeere, fome more, fome lefs who likewife perifhed by famine. Thofe who furuived who had both aduentured thcire eftates and prfonnes were conftraj'ned to ferue the Colony as if they had been flaues, 7 or 8 yeeres for their frcedomes, who underwent as hard and feruile labor as the bafeft fellow that was brought out of Newgate. And for dif couery we faye that none was dif couered in thofe 1 2 yeeres, and in thefe 4 or 5 laft yeers much more than formerly. For o' howfes and churches in thofe tymes they were fo meane and poore by refon of thofe calamities that they could not ftand aboue one or two yeeres, the people neuer goinge to woorke but out of y' bittemes of theire fpirrits threatning execrable curfes uppon S' : Thomas Smith, neither could a bleffmge from god be hoped for in thofe buildings w"^*" were founded uppon y"^ bloud of foe many Chriftians. The Townes were only James Cyttie, Henryco, Charles hundred, Weft & Sherley hundred. (22) hundred, and Kiccoughtan all w^"" in thofe tymes were ruined alfoe, unlefs fome lo or 12 howfes in y* Corporatione of James Cyttie at this prefent tyme are 4 for euer one that were there, and forty times exceedinge in Goodneffe, fortifications there were none at all againft y* foraigne enemy, and thofe that were againft the domeftick very few and contemptible. Bridges there was only one w"^"" alfo decayde in that tyme, yf through the forfaid calamities many had not perifhed we doubt not but there might haue been many more than 1000 people in the lande when S^ Thomas Smith left the Gouerment. But we conceiue y' when S' George Yardly arriued Gouno' hee found not aboue 400, moft of thofe in want of come, nearly deftitute of cattle, fwyne, poultrey and other neceffary p''uifions to nourifh them. Minifters to inftrudl the people there were fome whofe fufficyencie and abilitie we will not tax, yet diuers of them had no Orders. We knowe not at any time y' we exceeded in Armes, Powder & munitions, but y' in qualitie almoft altogether ufeleffe. We acknowledg in thofe times there was a tryall made of diuers f taple Comodities, the Colony as then not : hauinge meanes to p'ceed therein, we hope in tyme there may be fome better p'greffions be made, and had it not beene for the Maffacre may by this had beene brought to ^fedlione, as for boats in the tyme of y' Gouermt there was only one left y' was feruiceable in the Colonic, for -w"^ one befides 4 or 5 Shipps and pynnaces, there are now not fo fewe as 40, the barques, and barges y' then were built in number few, fo unwillinglie and weakly by the people effedted, y' in the fame time they alfo fifhed [perifhed] we neuer ^ceaued y' the natiues of the Countrey did voluntarily yeeld themfelues fubiedts to our gracyous Souraigne, nether that they took any pride in that title, nor p'uide at any tyme any contrybutione of come for fuftentation of y= Colony, no' could we at any tyme keepe them in fuch good ref pedl of correfpondency as we became mutually helpful each to to the other but contrarily w' at any [time] was doune p''ceeded from feare and not loue, and their come p'cured by trade or the fworde.

(Letter (23) (Letter of the Governor, Council, and Affembly of Virginia to the king in reply to Capt. Nathaniel Butler's "Unmasking of Virginia." Copied from Stith's Hiftory of Virginia (Williamfhurg, 1747), pp. 307-312.] Moft gracious Sovereign, X X YHEREAS a Copy of an Injormatiori, prefented to Your Majejty by Captain 1/1/ Nathaniel Butler, entitled. The Unmasking of Virginia, is come to our Hands: ^ ^ and whereas the fame is full of notorious Slanders and Falfhoods, proceeding from the Malice of his corrupt Heart, and abetted by private Enmity and publick Divifion, which aim at the Satisfadion of their particular Spleen, altho' it be to the Subver- fion of this whole Colony; Wee, the Governor, Council, and Colony of Virginia, in our General Affembly, out of Zeal and Refped to Your Majefty and this our Country, not to fufer Your facred Ears to be prophaned with falfe Suggeftions, nor Your Royal Thoughts to be diverted from fo hopeful a Plantation, which may add in time a principal Flower to Your Diadem, do, in all Humblenefs, fubmit this our Anfwer to Your Princely Survey, annexed to the fever al Untruths of the f aid Informer. 1. I found the Plantations generally feated, &c. THE Plantations, for the moft Part, are high and pleafantly feated: and the reft not low, nor infefted with Marfhes, which, we wifh, were more frequent. The Creeks are rather ufeful, than noifome; and no Bogs have been feen here by any, that have lived twice as many Years, as he did Weeks, in the Country; the Places which he fo mifcalls, being the richeft Parts of the Earth, if we had a fufficient Force to clear their Woods, and to give the frefh Springs, which run through them, a free Paffage. The Soil is generally rich, and ref tores our Tnift with Abundance; the Air is fweet, and the Clime healthful, all Circumftances confidered, to Men of found Bodies and good Govern- ment. 2. I found the Shores, &c. In this he traduceth one of the goodlieft Rivers in the habitable World, which rims for many Miles together within upright Banks, till at length, enlarged with the Receipt of others, it beats on a fandy Shore, and imitates the Sea in Greatnefs and Majefty. It is approachable on both Sides, from half Flood to half Ebb, for Boats of good Burthen ; neither is there any River in the World of this Vaftnefs, without Cranes or Wharfs, more commodious for landing. And it is equally contrary to Truth, that by wading we get violent Surfeits of Cold, which never leave us, till we are brought to our Graves, 3. THE new People, fent over, arriving for the moft Part, &c. We affirm, that the Winter is the only proper time for the Arrival of new Comers; whereof the Governor and Council have often, by their Letters, informed the Company ; and the like Advice has been given to their Correfpondents, from time to time, by pri- vate Planters, for their Supply of Servants. As to Hoiifes of Entertainment, there was a general Subfcription, amounting to an unexpedled Sum, and Workmen adtually employed, to build a fair Inn in James City, and every principal Plantation had refolved on the like, for the Entertainment of their new Supplies; when it pleafed God, to punifh our Crimes by the bloody Hands of the Indians, which obliged us to divert that Care to the Houfmg ourfelves, many of us having been unfumifhed by that Difafter. But Buildings of late have every where encreafed exceedingly; neither have new Comers any Reafon to complain, when every Man's Houfe is, without Recompence, open to the Stranger, even to the difaccommodating ourfelves. So that we may with Modefty boaft, that no People in the World do exercife the like Hofpitality. As for dying under Hedges (whereof there are none in Virginia) or lying unburied in the Woods, by reafon of this Defedl, it is utterly falfe. However, if fuch things fhould fometimes be feen accidentally here, the like may, and often doth happen, in the moft fiovuifhing Countries of Europe. 4. THE Colony was, this Winter, in great Diftrefs, &c. THE Colony, that Winter, was in no Diftrefs of Vidlual, as the Accufer well knoweth. For he bought Com himfelf for eight Shillings a Bufhel, cheaper, as we hear, than it was then fold in England. It is true, a fucceeding Scarcity was feared. But what lefs could be (24) be expedled, after fuch a Maffacre; when near half the Colony were driven from their Habitations in time of planting, others ftreightened in their Ground by receiving them, and all interrupted in their Bufmefs by fupporting a fudden War? Englifh Meal fold, as he afiirmeth, at thirty Shillings the Bufhel, was only fold for ten Pounds of Tobacco: for which, in truck, we ordinarily receive under twelve Pence a Pound, real Value. And it is not to be fuppofed, that any of the Great fhould affe(5l Scarcity, in order to enrich themf elves by Trade. For Trade hath ever been free for us all; neither have they, who have brought in moft Com, fold it out at unconfcionable Rates, but have often freely imparted it to the Neceffity of others, without any other Advantage than Repayment. We agree with that Prime-one, who wifhed, that Corn might never be under eight Shillings a Bufhel; meaning in Tobacco at three Shillings a Pound. For fo there would be fome Proportion between the Profit of making the one and the other, and Com would thereby be planted in greater Abundance. 5. THEIR Houfes are generally the worft, &c. OUR Houfes, for the moft Part, are rather built for life than Ornament; yet not a few for both, and fit to give Entertainment to Men of good Quality. If we may give Credit to thofe, who are accounted the moft faithful Relaters of the Weft-Indies, many Cities of great Rumour there, after threefcore Years Progrefs, are not to be compared in their Buildings to ours. And fo far are they from the meaneft Cottages in England, that many Towns there have hardly one Houfe in them, which exceedeth ours in Con- veniency or Stru(5lure. The greateft Difparagement, that fome of them received, proceeded from his Riots and lafcivious Filthinefs with lewd Women, purchafed with Rials of Eight and Wedges of Gold, the Spoils of the dif treffed Spaniards in Bermudas ; which, as we are informed by a Gentleman of good Credit, who cafually furveyed his Inventory, did, with other Treafure, amount to divers Thoufands. As for the Inter- pofition of Creeks, which Men are moft defirous to feat upon, where we cannot go by Land, we have Boats and Canoes, for our fudden Tranfport on any Occafion. 6. I found not the leaft Piece of Fortification, (Sfc. WE have, as yet, no Fortifications againft a foreign Enemy, altho' it hath been endeavoured by the Company, with a Succefs unanfwerable to their Care and Expence ; as alfo lately by ourf elves. But the Work, being interrupted by the Scarcity of laft Summer, fhall proceed again, God willing, with all convenient Expedition; and almoft all our Houfes are fufficiently fortified againft the Indians, with ftrong Palifadoes. His Envy would not let him number truly the Ordinance at James City; four Demi- Culverins being there mounted, and all ferviceable. At Flower-de-Hundred, he makes but one of fix; neither was he ever there, but, according to his Cuftom, reporteth the unfeen as feen. The fame Envy would not let him fee the three Pieces at Newport's- News, and thofe two at Elifabeth-City. Two great Pieces there are at Charles Hundred, and feven at Henrico. Befides which, feveral private Planters have fince fumifhed themfelves with Ordinance. So that it were a defperate Enterprife, and unlikely to be attempted by a Man of his Spirit, to beat down our Houfes about our Ears, with a Bark of that Burthen. 7. EXPECTING, according to their printed Books, &c. THE time that this Informer came over, was in the Winter, after the Maffacre; when thofe Wounds were green, and the Earth deprived of her Beauty. His Ears were open to nothing but Detradtion, and he only enquired after the Fa(5lious, of which there were none among us, and how he might gather Accufations againft thofe in the Government, being, as it fhould feem, fent over for that Purpofe. Otherwife he could not but hear of our Proclamations for the Advancement of Staple Commodities, and with what Alacrity and Succefs they proceeded; Vines and Mulberry Trees being planted throughout the whole Country, the Iron-Works in great Forwardnefs and fhortly to receive Perfedtion, and the Glafs- Works laboured after with all poffible Care, till the Slaughter by the Indians, and the fucceeding Mortality, gave a Ruin to fome, and Interruption to all. So that he hath nothing but our Misfortunes to accufe and upbraid us (25) us with; which have obHged us, ftill to follow that contemptible Weed, as well to fuftain the War, as to enable us again to eredl thofe Works. As for deriding the Books, that were fent over by the Company, it was done by himfelf, and no other, that we know of. 8. I found the ancient Plantations of Henrico, &c. STILL he abufeth your Majefty with thefe Words, / found, in Places, where he never was by fome Score of Miles; having never been higher up the River, than the Territories of James City. Henrico was quitted in Sir Thomas Smith's Time, only the Church and one Houfe remaining. Charles City, fo much fpoken of, never had but fix Houfes. The Soil of both is barren, w^orn out, and not fit for Culture. The Lofs of our Stocks the Informer hath lefs Reafon to urge. For he joined with the Indians in killing our Cattle, and carried the Beef aboard his Ship; which would have coft him his Life, if he had had his Deferts. 9. WHEREAS according to his Majefty's gracious, &c. THE Governor and Council, whom it only concerned, replied to this; that they had followed the Laws and Cuftoms of England to their utmoft Skill ; neither could he, or any other, produce any Particular, wherein they had failed. As to their Ignorance, they held him to be no competent Judge of thofe, who fo far tranfcended him in Point of Learning and Ability. For he had never been bred to the Law (as was not unknown to fome of them) nor yet in any other of the liberal Sciences. But his principal Spleen in this Article, appeared to proceed from his not being admitted of the Council, which they could by no means, confiftently with their Inftru<5lions, do. 10. THERE having been, as it is thought, ten thoufand, &c. HIS Computation of ten thoufand Souls falleth fhort of four thoufand; and thofe were, in great part, wafted by the more than Egyptian Slavery and Scythian Cruelty.which was exercifed on us, your poor and miferable Subjedls, by Laws written in Blood, and executed with all Sorts of Tyranny, in the Time of Sir Thomas Smith's Government; whereof we fend your Majefty the true and tragical Relation, from which it will plainly appear, that the pretended Confufions and private Ends will ftrongly refledl upon him and his Inftrudlors. And how unfit fuch Men are, to reftore that Plantation, which fufifered fo much under their Government, we humbly refer to your princely Confider- ation; invoking, with him, that divine and fupreme Hand, to protedt us from fuch Governors and their Minifters, who have poured out our Blood on the Earth like Water, and have fatted themfelves with our Famine. And we befeech your Majefty, to fupport us in this juft and gentle Authority, which has cherifhed us of late by more worthy Magiftrates; and We, our Wives, and poor Children, as is our Duty, fhall ever pray to God, to give you in this World all Increafe of Happinefs, and to crown you in the World to come, with immortal Glory.

[From ' This name fhould be "Pory". (28) [Fron:: Colonial Records of Virginia, pp. 69-83.] A Breife Declaration of the Plantation of Virginia duringe the firft Twelve Yeares, when Sir Thomas Smith was Governor of the Companie, & downe to this prefent tyme. By the Ancient Planters nowe remaining alive in Virginia. WHEREAS in the beginninge of Sir Thomas Smiths twelve yeares government, it was publifhed in printe throughout the Kingdome of Englande that a Plantation fhould be fettled in Virginia for the glorie of God in the propo- gation of the Gofpell of Chrift, the converfion of the Savages, to the honour of his Majefty, by the enlargeinge of his territories and future enrichinge of his kingdome, for which refpecfts many noble & well minded perfons were induced to adventure great fums of money to the advancement of foe pious & noble a worke, who have from the very firft been fruf trate of their expeftation, as wee conceive, by the mifgovemment of Sir Thomas Smith, aiminge at nothinge more then a perticular gaine, to be raifed out of the labours of fuch as both voluntarilie adventured themfelves and were otherwife fent over at the common charge. This will cleerely appeare in the examination of the firft expedition & feverall fupplies in the tyme of his government. The firft Plantation in Virginia confifted of one hundred perfons, fo flenderly provided for that before thej' had remained halfe a yeare in this new CoUony they fell into extreame want, not havinge anything left to fuftein them fave a little ill conditioned Barley, which ground to meal & pottage made thereof, one fmale ladle full was allowed each perfon for a meale, without bread or aught elfe whatfoever, fo that had not God, by his great providence, moved the Indians, then our utter enemies, to bringe us reliefe, we had all utterlie by famine perifhed. How unable fo fmall a companye of people, foe poorely fent over, were to make way for fuch as fhoulde followe, may eafily be judged. The firft fupplie beinge two fhippes, the John & Francis & Phenix, with one hundred & twenty perfons, worfe every way provided for then the former, arrived heere about eight or nine months after & found the Collony confifting of no more then forty perfons (of thofe) tenn only able men, the reft at point of death, all utterly deftitute of howfes, not one as yet built, fo that they lodged in cabbins & holes within the grounde; viftualls they had none, fave fome fmall reliefe from the Indians, as fome yet living weare feelinge witneffes, neither were we for our future and better maintenance permitted to manure or till any grounde, a thing in a new Plantation principally to be regarded, but weare by the direction of Sir Thomas Smith, and his officers heere, wholly imployed in cuttinge downe of mafts, cedar, blacke wallnutt, clapboarde, &c., and in digginge gould oare (as fome thought) which beinge fent for England proved dirt. Thefe works to make retome of prefent profifit hindered others of more neceffary confequence of Plantation. After this firft fupplie there were fome few poore howfes built, & entrance made in cleeringe of grounde to the quantitye of foure acres for the whoU Collony, hunger & ficknefs not permitting any great matters to bee donne that yeare. The fecond fupplie was a fhip the Mary Margett, which arrived here nine months after, about the time of Michaellmas, in her fixty perfons, moft gentlemen, few or no tradefmen, except fome Polandcrs to make Pitch, tarre, potafhes, &c., to be retomed for prefent gaine, foe meanly likewife were thefe fumiflied forth for vicftualles, that in leffe then two monthes after their arrivall, want compelled us to imploye our time abroad n trading with the Indians for come ; whereby though for a time we partly relieved our neceffities, yet in Maye followinge we weare forced (leavinge a fmall guarde of gentlemen & fome others about the prefident at James Towne) to difperfe the whoU Collony, fome amongft the Salvadges but moft to the Oyfter Banks, where they lived uppon oyfters for the fpace of nine weekes, with the allowance only of a pinte of Indian come to each man for a week, & that allowance of corne continued to them but two weekes of the nine, which kinde of feeding caufed all our skinns to peele off, from head to foote, as if we had beene fiead-. By this time arrived Captaine Samnell Argall in a fmall Barque, with ' An obfolete form of "flayed". (29) with him neither fupplie of men nor vidlualls from the Company ; but we underftandinge that he had fome fmall provifions of bread and wine, more then would ferve his owne companie, required him and the mafter of the Barque to remaine afhoare whilft we might bring his failes afhoare the better to affure us of his fhip & fuch provifions as could be f pared, whereunto he feemed willingly to condefcend. Thofe provifions, at a fmall allowance of Biskett, cake, and a fmall meafure of wine or beere to each perfon for a Daye fome what relieved us for the fpace of a month, at the end of which time arrived the thirde fupplie, called Sir Thomas Gates, his fleet, which confifted of feaven fhippes & neere five hundred perfons with whom a fmall proportion of vi<5tuall, for fuch a number, was landed; howfes few or none to entertain them, fo that being quartered in the open feilde they fell uppon that fmall quantitye of come, not beinge above feaven acres, which we with great penury & fufferance had formerly planted, and in three days, at the moft, wholly devoured it. Thefe numbers, thus meanly provided, not being able to fubfift and live together weare foone after devided into three parties and difperfed abroad for their better reliefe. The firft under commande of Captaine Francis Weft to feat at the head of the River; a fecond under commande of Captaine John Smith, the Prefident, at James Towne, & the other, with Capt. John Martin, in the River at Nanjamun, which divifions gave occafions to the Indiens treacheroufly to cutt off divers of our men & boates, and forced the reft at the end of fixe weekes, havinge fpent thofe fmall provifions they had with them, to retire to James Town 8c that in the depth of winter, when by reafon of the colde, it was not poffible for us to endure to wade in the water (as formerly) to gather oyfters to fatisfie our hungry ftomacks, but conftrained to digge in the grounde for unwhole- fome rootes whereof we were not able to get fo many as would fuflfice us, in refpedl of the froft at that feafon & our poverty & weaknefs, fo that famine compelled us wholly to devoure thofe Hogges, Dogges & horfes that weare then in the Collony, together with rates, mice, fnakes, or what vermin or canyon foever we could light on, as alfoe Toad- ftooles, Jewes eares, or what els we founde growing upon the grounde that would fill either mouth or belly; and weare driven through unfufiferable hunger unnaturallie to eat thofe thinges which nature moft abhorred, the flefh and excrements of man, as well of our owne nation as of an Indian, digged by fome out of his grave after he had laien buried three dales & wholly devoured him ; others, envyinge the better ftate of bodie of any whom hunger had not yet fo much wafted as there owne, lay waight and threatened to kill and eat them; one amonge the reft flue his wife as fhe flept in his bofome, cutt her in peeces, powdered her & fedd uppon her till he had clean devoured all partes fave- inge her heade, & was for foe barbaroufe a fadl and cruelty juftly executed. Some adventuringe to feeke releife in the woods, dyed as they fought it, & weare eaten by others who found them dead. Many putt themf elves into the Indians handes, though our enemies, and were by them flaine. In this extremitye of famine continued the Collony till the twenteth of Maye, when unexpedled, yet happely, arrived Sir Thomas Gates & Sir George Somers in two fmall Barques which they built in the Sommer Iflands after the wreake of the Sea adventure wherin they fett forth from Englande, with them one hundred perfons barely provided of vittel for themfelves. They founde the Collony confif tinge then of but fixty perfons moft famifhed and at point of death, of whom many foone after died ; the lamentable outcries of theirs foe moved the hartes of thofe worthies, not being in any forte able long to releive their wantes they foone refolved to imbarque themfelves & this poore remainder of the Collonye, in thofe two pinnaces & two other fmall Barques then in the River, to fett faile for Newfoundland where they might releive their wants & procure one fafer paffage for Englande. Every man, glad of this refolu- tion, laboured his uttmoft to further it, fo that in three weekes we had fitted thofe barques and pinnaces (the beft we could) & quitted James Towne, leaving the poore buildings in it to the fpoile of the Indians, hopeinge never to retome to re-poffefs them. When we had not failed downe the River above twelve miles but we efpied a boat which afterwards we underftoode came from the right Honourable Lorde La Ware, who was then (30) then arrived at Point Comfort with three good fhipps, wherin he brought two hundred and fifty perfons with fome ftore of Provifions for them; but by reafon he founde the CoUony in fo great want was forced to put both his owne people & the reft of the CoUony to a very meane allowance, which was feven pounde of Englifh meale for a man a weeke, & five pounds for every woman, without the addition of any viftuall whatfoever, except, in the ftead of meale, we took valuablie either peafe or oatmeale. Uppon the arrival of that boat. Sir Thomas Gates underftandinge from the Lord La Ware, that his Lordfhip was arrived with commiffion from the Company to be Gov' & Capt. Gen' of Virginia, & had brought men & provifions for the fubfif tinge & advancing of the Plantation, he the very next daye, to the great griefe of all his Company (only except Capt. John Martin), as winde and weather gave leave, retomed his whole company with charge to take pos- feffion againe of thofe poore ruinated habitations at James Towne which he had formerly abandoned; himfelffe in a boate proceeded downeward to meete his Lordfhip who, making all fpeede up, arrived fhortly after at James Towne. The time of the yeare being then moft unfeafonable, by intemperate heat, at the end of June his people fuddenly falling generally into moft peftilent difeafes of Callentures and feavors, not leffe then one hundred & fifty of them died within few moneths after, & that chiefly for want of meanes to comfort them in their weak eftates. The refidue alfoe difabled by reafon of ficknes could performe nothing that yeare to the advancement of the Collony, yet with the help of thofe people which had arrived with Sir Thomas Gates, together with fome of the ancient Planters, who by ufe weare growen praftique in a hard way of livinge, two fmall forts weare eredted neare the rivers mouth at Kicoughtun, encompaffed with fmall younge trees, haveinge for houfmg in the one, two formerlie built by the Indians & covered with bark by them, in the other a tent with fome few thacht cabbins which our people built at our comming thether. We founde divers other Indian Howfes built by the natives which by reafon we could make no ufe of we burnt, killinge to the number of twelve or fourteene Indians, & poffeffinge fuch come as we founde growinge of their plantinge. We remained there untill harveft, when we reaped (befides what we fpent) about the quantitie of one hundred and fiftie bufhells of come, which, by order from the Lord La Ware, was tranfported to James Towne. His Lordfhip intendinge to fend up certain forces to march towardes the mountaines for the difcoverie of gold or filver mines at the end of Odober, fent his Patents to Captaine Yardley and Captaine Holcroft, commanders of thofe two forts at Kicoughtan, wherin his Lordfhip gave order that they fhould be forthwith abandoned & the people with all fpeede to be brought to James Citie, there to prepare for his intended march. At that time there arrived a fmall fhip call the dainiie, with twelve men & one woman, fome little provifion of vidtuall, two or three horfes & fome other flight neces- faries for the Collony. Soon after we fett forward for our intended march, havinge for our leaders Captaine Edwarde Brewfter & Captaine George Yeardley, being in number one hundred perfons, fumifhed with all fuch neceffary provifions, as the Collony at that time out of its poverty was able to provide. This defigne was hindered by reafon of the unfortimate loffe of all our chieffe men skillfull in findeinge out mines, who weare treach- eroufly flaine by the Salvadges (inviteinge them afhoare to eat vidlualls which they wanted) even when the meate was in theire mouthes, they careinge only to fill their bellies, forefaw not to prevent this danger which befell them. This injury we revenged for the prefent (as we coulde) by killinge fome Indians and burninge many houfes, but by reafon of this difafter we pi^ceeded not farther on our journey then the head of the River, where we fpent about three moneths doinge little but induringe much; his Lordfhip was there in perfon for the moft part of that time, but his defeafe of body groweinge much upon him he refolved to retire to James Towne, givinge order that the fort which we had built there fhoulde bee quitted and the troupe drawn downe, which accordingly was done. His Lordfhip then in regarde of his ficknefs was advifed to putt to Sea in his fhip, the Delaware, to feeke remedie in fome other parts for the health of his bodye. At his going he left Captaine George Percie Deputie (31) Deputie Governor, the people (remaining under his command) provided for three months at a fhort allowance of vidluals. The calamities of thefe times would not any way permit workes of great importance to bee performed, fith that we did was as much as we coulde doe to live and defende our f elves. The Plantations helde at his Lordfhips departure were only James Towne and Pointe Comforte, where a fmall Fort fenced with Palifadoes, in it one flight howfe, a ftore and fome few thatcht cabbins, which fhortly after by cafualtie was burnt with fire; fome few great ordinance were (lenderlye mounted at James Towne and Pointe Comfort. A fortnight after his Lordfhips departure arrived a fmall fhip called the Hercules, with fome thirty people and fome provifions for them. The twelve of May foUoweinge arrived Sir Thomas Dale with three fhips and three hundred perfons, his provifions for them of fuch qualitie (for the moft part) as hogges refufed to eat, fome whereof were fent backe to England to teftifie the fame, and that the reft was not better was juftified upon oath before the Hono*"'' the Lorde Cheife Juftice of the Common Pleas, at Guilde hall in London, by Sir Thos. Gates & two other gentlemen. Sir Thomas Dale, takinge into confideration the precedent times not to have fuc- ceeded accordinge to the greedy defire of Sir Thomas Smith, prefently imployed the general Colony about the lading of thofe three fhips with fuch freight as the country then yealded, but a little before the fhips were readie to depart, Sir Thomas Gates arrived with three fhips and three carvills, with him three hundred perfons meanly provided with vid;ualls for fuch a number. In this fleet, to our remembrance arrived fixtie cowes and fome fwine ; it was his care to dif patch thofe fhipps and carvills fraighted (as aforefaid) to the negledl of workes of greater importance. Sir Thomas Dale imediately uppon his arrival, to add to that extremitye of miferye under which the Collonye from her infancie groaned, made and publifhed moft cruell and tiranous lawes, exceeding the ftridleft rules of marifhall difcipline, which lawes were fent over by Sir Thomas Dale to Sir Thomas Smith by the hande of M"' William Starchey, then Secretarie to the State, and were retomed in print, with approbation, for our future government, as in divers bookes yet extant more fully appeareth. At Michaellmas then next following, Sir Thomas Dale removed himfelf with three hundred perfons for the buildinge of Henrico Towne, where being landed he oppreffed his whole companye with fuch extraordinarye labors by daye and watchinge by night, as maye feeme incredible to the eares of any who had not the experimental! triall thereof. Wante of houfes at firft landinge in the colde of winter, and pinchinge hunger continually bitinge, made thofe impofed labours moft infuflferable, and the beft fruits and effedls thereof to be noe better then the flaughter of his Majeftys free fubjecJts by ftarveinge, hangeinge, bumeinge, breakinge upon the wheele and fhootinge to deathe, fome (more than halfe famifhed) runninge to the Indians to gett reliefe beinge againe retomed were burnt to death. Some for ftealinge to fatisfie their hunger were hanged, and one chained to a tree till he ftarved to death; others attemptinge to nm awaye in a barge and a fhallop (all the Boates that were then in the Collonye) and therin to adventure their lives for their native countrye, beinge difcovered and prevented, were fhott to death, hanged and broken upon the wheele, befides continual! whippings, extraordinary pvmifh- ments, workinge as flaves in irons for terme of yeares (and that for petty offences) weare dayly executed. Many famifhed in holes and other poore cabbins in the grounde, not refpe<5led becaufe ficknes had difabled them for labour, nor was their fufficient for them that were more able to worke, our beft allowance being but nine ounces of corrupt and putrified meale and halfe a pinte of oatmeale or peafe (of like ill condition) for each perfon a daye. Thofe provifions were fent over by one Winne a Draper, and Cajwell, a baker, by the appointment (as we conceave) of Sir Thomas Smith. Under this Tiranus Government the CoUony continued in extreame flavery and miferye for the fpace of five yeares, in which time many, whofe neceffities enforced the breach of thofe lawes by the ftridlnefs and feveritye thereof, fuffered death and other punifhments. Divers > This fhould be "Strachey". (32) Divers gentlemen both there and at Henrico towne, and throughout the wholl Collonye (beinge great adventurers and no frendes or alliance to Sir Thomas Smith) weare feeling members of thofe generall calamities, as far forth as the meaneft fellow fent over. The buildings and fortifications of that Towne, or thereabouts, were noe way extraordinary, neither could want, accompanied with bloode and crueltie, effedl better. Fortification agairift a foreign enemy there was none, only two or three peeces of ordenance mounted, and againft a domiftic noe other but a pale inclofmge the Towne to the quantitye of foure acres, within which thofe buildings that weare erecfted, coulde not in any mans judgement, neither did ftande above five yeares and that not without continuall reparations; true it is that there was a Bricke Church intended to be built, but not foe much as the foundation thereof ever finifhed, but we contentinge our felves with a church of wood anfwerable to thofe houfes. Many other workes of like nature weare by him donne at Henrico and the precinfts thereof, but fo flightly as before his departure hence, he himfelf faw the mine and defolation of moft of them. Sir Thomas Gates likewife in his time eredled fome buildinges in and about James Towne, which by continuall coft in repaireinge of them doe yet for the moft part in fome fort remaine. A framed Bridge was alfoe then erected, which utterly decayed before the end of Sir Thomas Smiths government, that being the only bridge (any way foe to be called) that was ever in the covmtry. At this time in all thefe labours, the miferye throughout the wholl Collony, in the fcarcitye of foode was equall; which penurious and harde kinde of liveinge, enforced and emboldened fome to petition to Sir Thomas Gates (then Governor) to grant them that favor that they might employ themf elves in hufbandry, that therby they and all others by plantinge of come, might be better fed then thofe fupplies of vidlual which were fent from Englande woulde afforde to doe, which requeft of theirs was denied unleffe they woulde paye the yearlye rent of three barrels of come and one monthes worke to the Collonye, although many of them had been imployed in the general workes and fervices of the Collony from the beginninge of the Plantation, which harde condition of Tenantfhip was then accepted rather then they woulde con- tinue in thofe general fervices and employments noe waye better then flavery. Moft part of the time that Sir Thomas Gates and Sir Thos. Dale governed we were at warre with the natives, fo that by them divers times were many of our people flaine, whofe blood Sir Thomas Dale negledled not to revenge, by divers and fundry executions, in killinge many, cuttinge downe and takinge away their come, burninge their houfes, fpoiling their weares, &c. In this time alfoe the two fortes, fort Henry and fort Charles, at Kicoughton, were againe eredled with fuch buildings as were formerly expreffed, not fortified at all againft a forreine enemye, and againft the Indian that common order of a pale or pallifadoe. The fupplies fent out of Englande while Sir Thos. Gates and Sir Thos. Dale governed were thefe; a fmall barque called the John and Francis, which brought few men and lefs vidlual; the next a fmall fhip called the Sarah, with the like number of men and vidluall; the next fhip called the Treforer, wherin came Capt. Samuell Argoll, bringinge with him to the number of fiftie good men, which fhip and men were wholly imployed in Trade and other fervices for relevinge of the Collonye; the next fhip, called the Eliza- beth, with about thirteene perfons, for them little provifion ; the next the fame Elizabeth came againe, with fome fmall ftore of provifions only; in her Sir Thos. Gates went for Englande, leavinge the government with Sir Thomas Dale. A little before the departure of Sir Thomas Gates many of the ancient planters (by the inftigation of Sir Thomas Dale), uppon the promife of an abfolute freedome after three yeares more to be expired (havinge moft of them already ferved the Collonye fix or feaven yeares in that general llavery) were yet contented to worke in the buildinge of Charles Citty and Hundred, with very little allowance of clothinge and viAuall, and that only for the firft yeare, being promifed one moneth in the yeare, and one daye in the weeke from Maye daye till harveft, to gett our maintenance out of the earth without any (33) any further helpc; which promife of Sir Thos. Dale was not performed, for out of that fmall time which was allowed for our maintenance we were abridged of nere halfe, foe that out of our daily taskes we were forced to redeeme time wherin to labour for our fuftenance, thereby miferably to ])urchafe our freedome. Yet fo fell it out that our State (by Gods mercy) was afterwardos more hap])ie then others who continued longer in the aforementioned flaverye ; in which time we built f uch houf es as before and in them lived with continual repairs, and buildingc new where the old failed, untill the maffacre. For matter of fortification in all this time, were only foure peeces of ordinance mounted for our defence againft the natives. Soone after we weare feated at Charles Hundred, Sir Thomas Dales refolved of a journey to Pamonkey River, there to make with the Salvadges either a firme league of friendfhip or a prefent warre; they percieving his intent inclined rather for peace (more for feare then love) which was then concluded betwixt them. That donne we retomed to our habitations where great want and fcarcitye, oppreffed us, that continuinge and increafmge, (our firft harveft not yet being ripe) caufed in many an intended mutinye, which beinge, by Gods mercy, dis- coverred, the prime adlors were duly examined and convicfted, wherof fixe beinge adjudged and condemned were executed. After this, arrived for fupply a fmall fhip called the John and Francis, with about twenty perfons and little or noe provifions for them. The next fhip, called the Treforer, arived heere with the number of twenty perfons and as little provifions as the former, in which fhip after many other defigned were effedled by Sir Thos. Dale, as makinge fpoile of the Kefchiacks and Warijcoyacks, impaling fome necks of Lande, for defence againft the Salvadges, and in fifhing for our reliefe, &c., he departed from Virginia, and left the Government to Captain George Yardley, under whom the Collony lived in peace and beft plentye that ever it had till that time, yet moft part of the people for that yeare of his Government continued in the generall fervices followinge their labors as Sir Thos. Dale left them by order. At Michaelmas followinge arrived a fmall fhip called the Sufan, her lading (beinge the firft Magazin) confif tinge of fome neceffarye provifions of clothinge, as our wants required, which goods were fould by Sir Thos. Smith's fa(5lor, as we fuppofe, for a fufficient profifit, exchanginge with us their commodities for our Tobacco. At Chriftmas then followinge, juft occafion beinge given by the Indians of Chi- quohomini in many and feveral kindes of abufes, and in deridinge of our demandes, wherunto they had formerly agreed and conditioned with Sir Thomas Dale to paj^e us yearlye tribute, viz: a bufhell of come for every Boweman, for which, by agreement, we were to give to each man one peece of copper and one iron tomahawke, and to the eight chief e men each a fuit of redd cloth, which clothes and truckinge ftuffe we ef teemed of more worth then their come. Thefe and the like groffe abufes moved our Governor, Captaine George Yeardley, to levye a company of men, to the number of eighty-four, to bee revenged uppon thofe contemptous Indians, which he, accordinge to his defire, fully executed, and returned home with the fpoile of them : concludinge, before his depar- ture from them, a more firme league in appearance than formerly was, for that it con- tinued unviolated almoft the fpace of two yeares; our people freely travelinge from Town to Towne (both men, women and children) without any armes, and were by the Salvadges lodged in their houfes, every way kindly intreated and noe way molefted. In March followinge, our three yeares time beinge expired, as it was our due, we of Charles Hundred demanded our long defired freedome from that common and general fervitude; unto which requeft Captaine George Yeardley, freely and willingly affented, to our great joy and comfort. Yet remained the moft part of the Collony in the former fervitude; part of whom were farmers, the reft imployed in fuch workes as Sir Thomas Dale gave order for before his departure. We that were freed, with our humble thankes to God, fell cheerfully to our perticular labours, wherby to our great comfort, through his bleffinge, we reaped a plentiful! harveft. In (34) In May foUowinge arived Captain Samuel Argoll with commiffion to be Governor. He brought with him to the number of a hundred perfons, partly at the charge of the Company and partly at the charge of private adventures; with them was brought a very little provifion for that nomber. At his arrival heere he founde the Collony in all parts well ftored with come, and at Charles Hundred a granery well fumifhed by rentes lately raifed and received from the farmers, which come he tooke poffeffion of, but how it was imployed himfelfe can beft give an account. Whileft he governed, the Collony was Henderly provided of munition, whereby a ftridt proclamation was made for ref traint of waf tinge or fhooting away of powder, under paine of great punifhment ; which forbiddinge to fhoot at all in our peeces caufed the loffe of much of oure come then growinge uppon the grounde; the Indians perceivinge our forbearance to fhoote (as formerly) concluded thereuppon that our peeces were, as they faide, ficke and not to be ufed; uppon this, not longe after they were boulde to prefume to affault fome of our people, whom they flew, therin breakinge that league, which before was fo fairly kept. Duringe his time of Government moft of the people of the Collony remained (as formerly) in the common fervice, their freedome not beinge to be obtained without extraordinary payement. The next fhip that arrived heere was the George, fett forth, as we fupofe, at the charge of private adventurers, but came foe meanly provided with vidluall, that had not we, the old Planters, relieved them moft of them had been ftarved. The next fhips, called the Neptune and Treafurer, arived in Auguft followinge, fet out at the charge of the Right Hono''*' the Lord Laware, his noble affociates, and fome other private adventurers. The people w^"" arived were foe poorely victualled that had they not been diftributed amongft the old Planters they muft for want have perifhed; with them was brought a moft peftilent difeafe (called the Bloody flux) which infe(Sted all moft all the whole CoUonye. That difeafe, notwithftanding all our former afiiidlions, was never knowne before amongft us. The next fupply weare two fhips called the William & Thomas and the Guift, which arived in Januarie; the Guift beinge fett forth at the charge of the Societie of Martins Hundred, the other by the Magazin and fome private adventurers. The next, a fmall fhip called the Elinor (fett forth at whofe charge we know not), arived heere in Aprill after, and in her Capt. Samuell argoll, leaving his Government, fhipt himfelfe for Englande. Whatfoever els befell in the time of his Government we omit to relate, much beinge, uppon our oathes, alreadie fuflficiently examined and our anfwers fent for Englande. By all which hath heertofore beene faide conceminge this Collony, from the infancie thereof and untill the expiration of Sir Thomas Smiths government, may eafily be perceived and plainly underftood what juft caufe he or any els have to boaft of the flourifhing eftate of thofe times, wherin fo great miferies and callamities were indured, and foe few werkes of moment or importance performed, himfelfe beinge juftly to be charged as a prime author thereof, by his negled; of providinge and alloweinge better meanes to proceede in fo great a worke, and in hindering very many of our frendes from fendinge much releife and meanes who beinge eameftly folicited from hence by our letters — wherin we lamentablie complained unto them — have often befought Sir Thomas Smith that they might have leave to fupplie us at their owne charge both with provifion of vidtuall and all other neceffaries, wherin he utterlie denied them fo to doe, proteftinge to them that we were in noe want at all, but that we exceeded in abundance and plentie, of all things, fo that therby our frendes were moved both to defift from fendinge and to doubt the truth of our letters, moft part of which weare by him ufually intercepted and kept backe; farther giveinge order by his directions to the Governor heere, that all mens letters fhould be fearched at the goinge away of fhips, and if in anye of them weare founde that the true eftate of the Collony was declared, they were prefented to the Gov- ernor and the indighters of them feverely punifhed; by which meanes noe man durft make (35) make any true relation to his frendes of his owne or the Collonyes true eftate; neither was it permitted to anye to have paffe to goe home, but by force were kept heere and employed as we have faide (fave fome few), one of whom receved his paffe from the Kinge, and that clofely made up in a garter, leaft it fhould have been feized uppon and he kept heere notwithftandinge. Thofe whom their frendes procured their paffe in open courte from the Companye were, by private diredtion, nevertheleffe made ftaye of, others procuringe private letters having been lett goe. We muft alfoe noat heere, that Sir Thos. Dale, at his arivall finding himfelf deluded by the aforefaid proteftations, pulled Capt. Newport by the beard, and threat ninge to hang him, for that he affirmed Sir Thos. Smiths relation to be true, demandinge of him whether it weare meant that the people heere in Virginia fhoulde feed uppon trees. Soe may we heere conclude, as fome have concluded for him, to what great growth of perfedlion (with the expence of that feaventie thoufand poundes) the Plantation was advanced in the time of his 12 years government, but whether, as it is faide, he be to be praifed for the managaing of thefe afTaires, with much unanimity, moderation, integritie and judgment, we leave it to cenfure. At the end of this twelve yeares arived Sir George Yeardley to be Gov" and founde the Collony in this eftate and thus furnifhed, vizt: For fortification againft a forreign ennemie there was none at all; two demy culverin only were mounted uppon rotten carriages and placed within James Citty, fitter to fhoot downe our houfes then to offend an ennemie. At Charles Hundred, which were mounted by Sir Thos. Dale, two demy culverin and one facre; fortifications againft a domeftique enimie very mean. For Forts, Towns and Plantations he foimde thefe: James Citty, Henrico, Charles Citty and Hundred, Shirley Hundred, Arrahattock, Martin Brandon and Kicoughton, all W"" were but poorely houfed and as ill fortified; for in James Cittie were only thofe houfes that Sir Thom. Gates built in the time of his government, with one wherin the Gov allwayes dwelt, an addition beinge made thereto in the time of Captaine Sam' Argoll, and a church, built, wholly at the charge of the inhabitants of that cittie, of Timber, beinge fifty foote in length and twenty foot in breadth; at Pafpahayes alfoe weare fome few flight houfes built; at Henrico, two or three old howfes, a poore ruinated church with fome few poore buildings in the Ifland; Coxen Dale and the Maine and att Arrahatocke one houfe, at Charles Cittie fixe howfes much decayed, and, that we may not be too tedious, as thefe foe were the reft of the places furnifht. For people then alive about the nomber of foure hundred, very many of them in want of come, utterlie deftitute of cattle, fwine Poultrie and other Provifions to noiuifh them. For Barques, Pinnaces, Shallops, Barges and Boates he founde only one olde Frigott, which belonged to the Sommer Iflandes, one olde Shallopp built in Sir Thos. Dales time, one boat built in Sir Saml Argolls time, with two fmall boates belonginge to private men. For mimition a very fmall quantitye, the moft part thereof beinge veiV bad and of little ufe. For minif ters to inftrudl the people he founde only three authorized, two others who never received their orders. For ftaple commodities at his arrivall he founde none afoot fave only Tobacco. The natives he founde uppon doubtfuU termes, neither did we ever perceive that at any time they voluntarilie yealded themf elves fubjecfts or fervants to our Gracious Sover- aigne, neither that ever they tooke any pride in that title, nor paide they at any time any yearly contribution of come for the fuftentation of the Collony, nor could we at any time keepe them in fuche goode refpeft or correfpondencie that they and we did become mutuallie helpful or proffitable, each to other, but to the contrary, whatfoever at any time was done uppon them proceeded from fear without love, for fuch help as we have had from them have been procured by fworde or trade. And heere can we noe way approve of that which hath lately beene faide in the behalfe of Sir Thos. Smith, by fome of his new frendes, that a flourifhinge plantation in Virginia, eredled in the time of his 12 yeares government, hath fince been diftroyed through the ignorance of fuc- ceedinge (36) ceedinge Governors heere, for that by what we have already faide all the worlde may judge in what a flourifhinge eftate it was, and to what growth of perfecftion it was ad- vanced, at the arivall of Sir Geo. Yeardley to be Gov"^ here, it beinge then in our judge- ments, that were members of the colony, in a poore eftate. The whole 12 yeares expired. Aprill, 1619. — Arived Sir Geo. Yeardeley, bringing certain commiffions and in- ftru(5lions from the Company for the better eftablifhinge of a Commonwealth heere, wherin order was taken for the removing of all thofe grievances which formerly were fuffred and manifefted the fame by publifhinge a Proclamation that all thofe that were refidend heere before the departure of Sir Tho:i. Dale fhould be freed and acquitted from fuch publique fervices and labours which formerly they fuffered, and that thofe cruell lawes by which we had foe longe been governed were now abrogated, and we were now to be governed by thofe free lawes which his Ma'^' fubjedls live under in Englande. And farther that free libertie was given to all men to make choice of their dividents of lande and, as their abilities and meanes w"* permitt, to poffeffe and plant uppon them. And that they might have a hande in the goveminge of themf elves, it was granted that a general affemblie fhould be helde yearly once, wherat were to be prefent the Gov"^ and Counfell with two Burgeffes from each Plantation freely to be ele(5led by the inhabitants thereof; this affembly to have power to make and ordaine whatfoever lawes and orders fhould by them be thought good and proffittable for our fubfiftance. The eflfedl of which proceedinge gave fuch incouragement to every perfon heere that all of them followed their perticular labours with fmgular alacrity and induftry, foe that, through the bleffmge of God uppon our willinge labors, within the fpace of three yeares, our countrye flourifhed with many new erected Plantations, from the head of the River to Kicoughtan, beautifull and pleafant to the fpeftators, comfort- able for the releife and f uccor of all fuch as by occafion did travaile by land or by water ; every man giveinge free entertainment, both to frendes or others. The plenty of thefe times likewife was fuch that all men generally were fuflficiently fumifhed with come, and many alfoe had plenty of cattle, fwine, poultry and other good provifions to nourifh them. Monethly courtes were held in every precindt to doe juftice in redreffinge of all fmall and petty matters, others of more confequence being referred to the Gov', Coun- fell and Generall Affemblie. Now alfoe were begunne and fett a foote the ereAinge of Iron Workes, plantinge of vines and mulberrie trees for the nourifhinge of filke wormes ; a trial made for filke graffe tillage for Englijh graine, gardeninge, and the like, which gave great hopes of prefent and future plenty in their feverall perticulars, wherin no doubt but much more had been effec5led had not great ficknefs and mortalitie prevented. Thofe years fallinge out to be generally contagious through this contient, the people alfoe fent over arrived heere at the moft unfeafonable time of the yeare, beinge at the heat of Sommer, and divers of the fhips brought with them moft peftilent infections, wherof many of their people had died at Sea, foe that thefe times alfoe of plenty and libertie were mixed with the calamities of ficknes and mortalitie. In Odober, 1621, Arived Sir Fras. Wyatt, Knight, with commiffion to be Gov' and Capt. Gen' of Virginia. He ratified and confirmed all the afore mentioned liberties, freedomes and priveledges, to our great happines and content ; the country alfoe flour- ifhed and increafed in her former proceedinges, as iron workes, plantinge of vines and mulberrie for filke, &c. A fhip alfoe was fent to the Summer Iflandes for fuch commodi- ties as that place afforded, as Potatoes, Fig Trees, Orange and Lemon Trees, and fuch like, many of which profper and growe very likely to increafe. But amidft this happines was the Hande of God fett againft us, in great part, no doubt, for the punifhment of our ingratitude in not being thankefull but forgettfuU that by his mercye we were delivered from fuch bondage and calamitie as before time we had fuffered. Juftly likewife were we punifhed for our greedy defires of prefent gaine and profit, wherin many fhowed themfelves infatiable and covetous; we beinge too fecure in truftinge of a treacherous enimie, the Salvadges, they, whileft we entertained them frendly in our houfes, tooke their opportunities and fuddenly fell upon us, killing and murdering very (37) very many of our people, burninge and devaftinge their houfes and plantations, this happeninge uppon the two and twenteth of March followinge (1622), ftroocke fo at the life of our wellfare by blood and fpoile, that it almoft generally defaced the beautie of the wholl Collonye, puttinge us out of the way of bringinge to jjerfecftion thofe excel- lent workes wherin we had made foe faire a beginninge. This deadly ftroake being given to the great amazement and ruine of our State, caufed our Governor and Counfell, withall fpeede, for the fafetie of the reft (left the Indians fhoulde take courage to purfue what they had begunne), to re-colle(5l the ftrag- linge and woefuU Inhabitants, foe difmembered, into ftronger bodies and more fecure places. This enforced reducement of the Collony into fewer bodies, together with the troble of warre then in hande, caufed the year following a flender harveft to be reaped, whereby we weare conftrained to relye upon hopes for our reliefe by fhippinge out of Englande, and by trading with the more remote Salvadges, moft part of which fupplies hom Englandc unfortunately mifcarried by the waye, the Salvadges, likewife, from whome we hoped to have helpes by trade, proved our moft treacherous ennemies, cunninglye circumventinge and cruellie murderinge fuch as were employed abroade to gett reliefe from them, by all which mifaccidents we fell that yeare into great want and fcarcitye; which fince, by the bleffmge of God, through our fupplies we have had from the Company, together with a plentifull harveft, hath bene abundantly reftored. Our Gov', Counfell and others have ufed their uttermof t and Chriftian endeavours in profequtinge revenge againft the bloody Salvadges, and have endeavoured to reftore the Collonye to her former profperitye, wherin they have ufed great diligence and induftrye, imployinge many forces abroade for the rootinge them out of feverall places that therby we may come to live in better fecuritie, doubtinge not but in time we fhall clean drive them from thefe partes, and therby have the free libertie and range for our cattle, the increafe of whom may bringe us to plentie, and maye alfoe more freely goe on againe with fetting up thofe ftaple commodities which we hoped by this time to have brought to good perfedlion. For the fupplies fhippinge, men, cattle and provilions that have arived heere fmce Sir Thomas Smith left his government we can not nowe well reckon up, they beinge manj'e, but muf t referre you to the printed bookes and to the Lifts and Invoices retomed by Sir Geo.

"^ "^ y HAT places in the Country are beft or moft proper to bee fortefied or main- teyned, againft Indians or other enimies that may come by fea. Pointe Comfort is of moft life but of great charge and difiicultie. Warifcoyake where the fortification was intended more efTedluall to fecure the places above y' from Wyanoake marifh upwardes there are divers places w^"" may peremptorily comande Shippinge or Boates : the beft againft the Indians and moft of ufe for the future increafe of plentie, is the wininge of the forreft by runinge of a pale from Martins hundred to Chiskiacke W^*" is not above fixe miles : and plantinge uppon both rivers, the river of Pamunkey beinge alfoe more defenfible againft a forrein enymie. 2. Howe the Collony nowe ftandes in refpedl of the Salvages. The termes betwixt us and them are irreconciliable, the charge of driveinge them awaye, vf^ woulde reduce us to a better eftate then wee weare in before the maffacre, foe great as yt is to wayghtie for us to fupport though hitherto we have doune whatfoever yt was poffible for our meanes and numbers to effedl, an enimye from whom there is noe fpoile to bee ekpedled, the advantage of the woodes and the nymblenes of their heeles preventes execution; the harmes that they doe us is by ambufhes and fuddein incuriions where they fee their advantages, we never fince the maffacre haveinge loft one man in any expedition againft them, the inconveniencyes that wee receive from them are of farre more confequence; we have not the fafe range of the Country for increafe of Cattle, Swyne &c nor the game and foule w'^'' the Country aflfordes in great plentye; befides our duties to watch and warde to fecure our felves and lab"" are as harde and chargeable, as if the enymie weare at all tymes prefent. J. What hopes may truly and really bee conceived of this Plantation: We houlde yt to be one of the goodlyeft partes of the earth aboundinge w"" navigable Rivers full of variety of fifh and foule, faUinge from high and fteepe mountaines, w"^"" by the generall Relation of the Indians are rich w"" mines, Golde, Silver and Copper, an other Sea lyeinge w"'in fixe dayes jomey beyonde them into w"^*" other Rivers defcende. The foyle fruitfuU and apt to produce the beft fortes of Comodities, replenifhed w"" many trees for feverall ufes, gumes, dyes, earths and fimples of admirable vertue, vines and mulburitrees groweinge wilde in great quantities the woods fixll of deare, Turkies and other beaf ts and birdes : for more perticuler relation we referr you to the reportes of S' Thomas Gates and S' Thomas Dale made unto the Company concerneinge thofe praifes noe way hiperbolicall, nor any country more worthie of a Princes care and fupportance. 4. Which bee the dire(5left meanes to attaine to thefe hopes. The way to attaine to thefe hopes is to have a runninge armye continually a foote to keepe the Indians from fettlinge on any place that is neere us, to fend over numbers of people to arrive heere about the prime of Winter, w"" provifions of Cattle and w"" full provifions for themf elves at leaf t for a yeare : in the meane tyme to fall only uppon the plantinge of Vines and Mulbury trees and to fende men over that are expert in thofe faculties, to plant gardens and orchardes, and fuch thinges as are ufefull for the fufte- nance of mans life, to rayfe the price of tobacco by the fole importation, and reduceinge the Cuf tomes to the rate of the letters Pattents, and when the Country fhalbe bleffed w"" plenty of fuch provifions and multitudes of people, to proceede in the difcovery of the wealth of the mountaines and Comodities of the Seas, that are credibly reported to lye beyonde them A care muft be had that fhips come not over peftered, and that they may be well ufed at Sea w"" that plenty and goodnes of dyett as is promifed in Englande, but feldome performed, that when they come they firft fall to buildinge of good and convenient howfes, and bringe men over for that purpofe: that for the firft yeare they only endeavo' themfelves to the plantingeof Come, to the makeinge of gardens, to (39) to the choofeinge & inclofeinge of fitt places for their Cattle and to the plantinge only of fo much tobacco as may ferve to fuftaine them in neceffary clothinge for the fucceeding yeare, a proportion of mault they fhould alfoe bringe over to make themfelves beare, that the fuddein drinkinge of water caufe not to great an alteration in their bodyes: that they fhoulde employe themfelves to the plantinge of Englijh graine, that therby wee may have the hopes of two harvefts : And that fuch numbers may be feated togeather as may be able to fecure themfelves, and to make good fuch a part of the country as they may have free and fecure range for the fuftenance and increafe of their Cattle.

WHEREAS the making of any Contradte uppon our Tobaccoe hath bin hitherto a thing foe much feared, and the very name of it rather a terror and dis- couragm' to the whole Colony, then any way by us wifhed or affented unto, the bare rumo' whereof hath wrought foe evill an effecle as generally to difharten all men, foe that therby the Marchant hath bene doubtfuU of adventuring hither, and much enhaunfed the price of his Comodities, and the Planters fearefull to fettle their aboade hefere or raife any workes of better confequence or future profitt, as deeming it a place wherein there would bee noe certainty or ftability of their affaires but continually fubjedle to ruine and alteracon if the finifter informacons of pryvate men in England, and their projedls there tending folely to their owne pryvate Corhoditie and gaine may receave allowance and approbacon, Efpecially feeing all Contra<5ts here- tofore propounded have beene made w"'out our Confents, and uppon fuch unreafonable termes & condicons as have dire(5lly tended to the imediate diftrudtion and mifery of the fame, and this hath bin fufficiently fhewed in our demonftracons and declaracons made againft thofe Contracts in our former generall Affemblies, But notw^'ftanding wee have continually beene infnared in thefe toyles, and for thefe fix yeares have perpet- ually laboured in the confufed pathes of thofe labyrinthes, being rather framed and built in the very imaginacon of unconfcionable and unjuft men, then uppon good and found reafon or w"" any refpefte to the benefitt and advancem' of the Colony : Wherefore wee retome our humbleft thankes unto his moft excellent Ma''"' for that it hath pleafed him to diffolve thofe Contracts formerly fett on foote, and to have foe gratioufly in- clyned in his Princely favo' towards us as to graunt thofe thinges w"^** have bin for our eftablifhm' and fupportacon, And in particuler the prohibition of all Spanifhe Tobacco, that thereby wee might have a certaine and fure dependance w"' the Kingdome of England w"^ is foe firme a foundation for the perpetuall fubfiftance of this Colony as otherwife would require a greate expence of mony And this cheifely hath bin a meanes to uphold the fame in fuch meafure that it hath nowe noe leffe fiourifhed fince the altera- con and revoking of the Patent, then when our affaires were managed by thofe in Eng- land w^ to the eye of the world appeared to bee the maine fupporters and pillers thereof, Nevertheleffe fince his Ma"" hath now bin pleafed to take the Comodity of tobacco for his owne imediate ufe, and as his owne Marchandize, and to that ende hath diredted his letter, unto the Governo" and Councell, requiring that on his behalf e they fhould bargaine for the fame, w'*" the Burgeffes of all the feverall Plantacons, And further whereas the rayfing of other ftaple Comodities, menconed in his highnes Letter is to greate a worke for our poore abilities to undertake and bring to perfedlion, hee hath therefore required us that wee fhould take efpeciall care concerning the fame. And according to the Inftrudlions fent unto us to certifie of the probability and certainty thereof, and to fend home fuch enfamples as are defired whereby wee are given to hope that thofe meanes will by his Royall hand bee fupplyed unto us, that having beene alwaies hitherto wanting or but flenderly furnifhed it hath bin impoffible that thofe thinges fhould have effe(5lually bin accomplifhed. And wee on our parts fhall give good teftimony of our willingnes and forwardnes therein, being perfwaded that nothing can bee more happly for the Colony or to bee defired of us, then that thofe Comodities fhould receave their full perfeccon that wee might have fome other matter of fubfiftance then Tobacco, (46) Tobacco, w"^"" yet wee cannot wholy abandon, but make it as a ftepp to attaine thofe things and in the interim, a meanes to fufteyne us, Wee have therefore in all humblenes of duety, after full debate and confideracon of the premifes fett downe our opinions concerning the fame defiring that our relations may bee rather credited then theirs w'^'' neyther informed by experience uppon the place (the moft infallible guide) nor led by good judgm' at foe greate a diftance doe intend their private endes more then the hono' and profitt of the King or the welfare of this Colony. Firft for tobacco wee confent and agree that his Ma"' fhall have all our Tobacco at the rate of three fhillings fix pence the pound cleere the Tobacco to bee delyvered here unto his Ma" FaAo" good and marchantable, and to bee approved foe to bee, by fwome men appoynted to that purpofe, And for the paym' thereof wee defire that the Fadlors w^*" fhall receave the fame, may bring letters of Creditt from men of unqueftionable fufiiciency to give bills of exchange uppon thofe men to make paym' of them, the one halfe after tenn daies fight, and the other moytie at three monethes And thofe termes wee doe all in generall cheifely defire, becaufe our refiding is here, and it will bee much damaige unto us to goe home to delyver our goods. But if his Ma"' will have our Tobacco delyvered at the Port of London and wee to beare the adventure of the Sea and pay the fraight, then wee will bee contented to delyver it all there at fower fhillinges the pound and wee to bee cleere of all Cuf tomes, and the paym' to bee made as aforefaid But if his Ma"' fhall refufe to take all the Tobacco that fhall bee made in this Colony good and marchantable, then wee htmibly defire that his highnes would bee pleafed in certaintie to take of yearely five hundred thoufand weight at the aforefaid prices and Condicons, if there fhall bee foe much made in the Country, And for the reft if there fhould bee any overplus wee are alfoe content to deliver the fame if his Ma"« pleafe, if not wee defire to export it againe out of the Kingdome of England, cuftome being paid, and to vent it eyther in the Low Countries, Ireland, Turkey or elfewhere. And wee are content to contradte w"' his Ma"' for the aforefaid rates and uppon the aforefaid Conditions for and during the tyme and terme of feven yeares, But if here- after it fhall appeare that the Kingdome of England fhall bee able to vent more tobacco then the quantities now to bee taken from this Plantation and the Somer Iflands, other places fay ling and the reft being fuppreffed & banifhed, our defire is that then wee may bee fuflfered to import the fame, and our proporcon augmented. And wee doe moft humbly defire his Ma' '' that if hee will bee pleafed the aforefaid condicons may bee accepted; that all Spanifhe tobacco bee utterly prohibited, becaufe wee have juft caufe to feare, that under Colo' of any Spanifh Tobacco licenfed to bee brought in, greater quantities will bee imported, and the markett glutted, to our damage and hinderance. And for the affurance of making our Tobacco Marchantable, that it may bee fatisfaccon given therein, wee have taken fuch eflfecftuall courfes in every refpedle, that wee dare ingage ourfelves that our tobacco fhall bee very good and marchantable much exceeding the tobacco w'"" hath formerly gon from hence. And wee have alfoe or- dered that there fhall bee fwome men appoynted to bee Tryors to that purpofe, after the curing of the fame and before it bee laden aboord the Shipps, w^*" orders heretofore wee have not taken, becaufe wee could not compell the planter to paie the Marchant prin- cipal! Tobacco when as often tymes the Corhodities hee receaved were rotten and unufe- full, and allwaies fould at moft exceffive rates, w'*" wee could not moderate: And there- fore concerning the Tobacco this yeare gon home wee are not ignorant, how that much of it is of noe good condition, of W" as wee defire to bee excufed, foe wee hope there fhall bee noe fuch occafion hereafter to complaine Wee have alfoe ordered that a Pro- clamacon bee made through the Colony, that all plants fhall bee fett fower foote and a halfe afunder at lejfft, and that there fhould bee gathered but twelve leaves of from a plant. Whereas it hath beene the Cuftome heretofore, from that fort of long tobacco now in ufe to gather five and twenty or thirty leaves and wee are of opinion that if wee fhould fuffer but fix leaves to growe uppon a plant, that the nature of tobacco will not beare it, and it would bee nevertheles very dangerous to prime away the leaves foe high in reguard that then it is fubjedle to bee fpoyled and tome w"" gufts and ftormes, at that (47) that tyme ufually happening, and the ftalke to bee parched and withered by the heate of the funn, And wee certainely Knowe that although wee doe tend twelve leaves on every plant as aforefaid yett by reafon of dyvers cafualties as the wormes, the extra- ordinary raynes w"" drowne many plants wee fhall not gather above eight or tenn generally and wee wonder why any fuch thing fhould bee injoyned unto us. Concerning the ftripping out the ftalke wee doe thinke it will bee much hurt unto it, and the handling in that Kind will deface and fpoyle it, at that feafon of the yeare, the windes being exceeding peirceing and drying. And for that whilft the ftalke is in it, it is a good prefervative to the fame, Whereas it is certaine that if wee fhould bee tyed to ftripp out the ftalke the Planters would thereuppon take advantage and ftripp it before it bee fully cured, and being fomewhat moyft it will bee fubjedte to rott and mould: And further it would bee a greate hinderance imto our other workes of con- fequence and profitt for the good and advancem' of the Plantacon, as cleering of new grounds, planting of gardens and orchards, the eredling of Comodious buildinges, the extirpacon of the Indians and the rayfing of all ftaple Comodities &'^ Touching the moderating of the quantity, wee defire that it may bee confidered that this Comodity of tobacco is the only meanes for our prefent fupportacon and fubfiftance to the w^ nevertheles wee are not foe much wedded and adi(5led as wholly to negledte all other courfes that fhall bee thought conducing to the rayfmg of ftaple Comodities as aforefaid, and the planting of greate ftore of come, the breeding and encreafmg of Cattell &'' And in this poynt wee have this yeare leffened and ftinted our ufuall proporcon in gathering but halfe foe many leaves as heretofore was ordinary And wee being now in greate fomes indebted to the Marchant it cannott bee admitted foe ftridlly, for that our bargaines & Contracts for the fucceeding Cropp are already paffed and concluded on betwixt us, and wee muft eyther fhutt upp our Courtes and deny Juftice to thofe that fhall require it or elfe permitt thofe that are engaged in that Kinde to imploy themfelves and fervants for the performance of their condicons. Not w'Ktanding for the fucceeding yeares, notice beeing given aforehand, the nomber of people in this Colony encreafed and the Markett of Tobacco gluttes, wee fhall bee willing to condifcend thereunto, and concerning the quantity of two hundred pound for a Mafter of a family and one hundred and a quarter for every fervant. The Colony now confifting of neere three thoufand perfons or fhortly being likely to attaine to that nomber, every weake Judgment w"^*" hath beene converfant w"" us, or hath feene the Accounts of our affaires, can judge that quantity not to bee fixfficient for our maintey- nance. And the laft yeare wee Knowe there was more fent hence, yett that proporcon, allowing that there are five hundred freemen and Mafters of families will amount unto 4i2,soo£ Laftly to demonftrate that the Condicons for the paym' of our mony halfe in hand and the reft at three monethes are of foe abfolute neceffity unto all the Planters, wee faid that to accept of one third in hand and the reft at five and five monethes, the firft paym' will little more then defray the freight and other chardges, and the expedlacon of the reft will not only put them to many ftreights for prefent mainteynance, but detaine them in England foe longe untill their meanes wafting w"" their tymes, they bee utterly difabled to tranfport themfelves, much leffe fervants or comodities for the augmentation & relief e of the Colony and loofe one whole yeares tyme. For Pitch and Tarr wee are of opinion, that his Ma"' may bee affured that there are materialls here plentifully for the making thereof, and wee have by thefe fhipps fent home enfamples of the ordinary Pine Trees growing in this Country, that there may bee noe doubte made in that poynt, but wee find that our weake abilities will not enable us to bee at foe greate charges as will neceffarily bee required before hand to the full accomplifhm' of that worke, efpecially it being a Comodity of foe fmall a value and the want of meanes to carry the wood to the kilnes where it is burned, there being neyther horfes nor Afinicoes proper for that purpofe and the danger that the workmen bee in uppon all incurfions of our Enemies the Indians, will make it not bee w'^out fome difficulty and muft neceffarily bee provided for, if that bufines bee profequted. For (48) For. Potafhes wee knowe that in former tymes there have beene fome made heere and fent into Engkind for a tryall, but the worth thereof wee doe not Knowe, and have noe man in the Country that Knoweth how to make them. For pipeftaves, barrell boords and Clapboords there hath formerly beene fent home of all fortes and wee have now both fent heme enfamples thereof and in thefe Shipps there are many hundred Caske gon into England from all partes of the Country made of our Tymber heere, whereby thofe of experience may bee able to judge thereof, this requireth greate labour, and the freight of foe meane a Comoditie will bee too deare to incourage any man to goe in hand w"' it. Concerning Iron wee have fent you home fome of the Myne of W*" by their report that were imployed therein there is plenty and the tryalls that have been heere made have caufed a good reputacon of the Iron that hath been fent into England, but this worke efpecially requireth an exceffive charge and expence of mony to bring it to perfeccon w"^"" wee cannott difburfe in expedlacon of the profitt thereof w"" will not bee foe foudaine as our neceffities doe require and wee thinke that it muft neceffarily bee provided that the men labouring about it bee fumifhed continewally w"" plenty of cloathing good vicftualls and drinke, the w'^'' in this Country are not fufiiciently to bee had: The Materialls formerly fent over, are almoft totally wafted and confumed and at the Maffacre throwen into the River by the Indians, and little to bee found that is ferviceable, foe that in that cafe there will neede a fupply of all thinges both of workemen and other neceffaries, It is certaine that the place chofen for the fame at the falling Creeke was very Comodious and advantagious & the furnace in fome good forwardnes at the Maffacre. For Mynes of Gould, Silver, Copper &*=. wee conceive that there is greate hope of the ritchnes of the Mountaines, and there was a difcovery made formerly nynteene yeares fmce in the W^*" fome of us were, and about fower dales Journey above the falls of this Ryver as wee are informed certaine affurance of a filver Myne, but wee fhall hereafter uppon all occafions fend home fuch famples as wee fhall meete w**" any where yet wanting the meanes of beafts of Carriage for the tranfport of Vidlualls and Munition, it will bee allmoft impoffible. For the planting of Vines wee conceave greate hopes that it will prove a Cothoditie both beneficial! and profitable, but wee are none of us skillfull therein, The Vignerons that have beene fent over have fpent their tyme heere to fmall purpofe, and eyther purpofely negledled it or concealed from us the skill w*^"" hath generally difhartened all men from undertaking it, but wee have this yeare planted many and pruned others and by further experience thereof wee fhould thinke ourfelves happy to bring this Comodity to perfeccon and would bee glad to defray the charges of skillfull men to bee fent over for that purpofe. For Bay falte wee conceive greate likelines of the certainty of that Corhodity and fuerly the benefitt that will accrew to the Colony of the fame will bee of greate confe- quence and wee fhall bee willing to affift M"^ Capps to make the experiment thereof W^ being brought to perfeccon will drawe a certaine trade unto us, And wee hope that the fifhing uppon our Coafts will bee very neere as good as that of Canada whereof fome tryall hath beene already made.

[From Hening's Statutes at Large, I, 137-144.) The general assembly Holden the i6th day of October, 1629. THE oathes of fupremacy and alleidgeance were adminiftered to the governor and councell and afterwards to all the burgeffes. After debate of many matters, it was thought a bufmefs of great benefitt and good confequence to fend and maintaine a company of men to plant come at Kiskyacke, the charges of building to be borne equally by all that fhould bee the adventurers, and to bee there feated by the 15th of November next. Whereuppon voluntarily the Governor offered to find 3 men. Capt Mathewes 4 M' Jfarrar 1 M' Thorowgood 4 M' Englifh 2 M' fflint 4 M"' Rowlfton 2 Capt. Baffe M' Harwood M' Bennett Goodman Tree Tho. Seely Capt. Peirce 2 It was ordered they fhould have fhares of land to them and their heirs. It is ordered that every commander of the feverall plantations appointed by com- miffion from the governor fhall have power and authoritie to levy a partie of men out of the inhabitants of that place foe many as may well be fpared without too much weak- ening of the plantations and to imploy thofe men againft the Indians, when they fhall affault us neere unto our habitations, or when they in their difcretion fhall deeme it convenient to cleare the woods and the parts neere adioyning when the Indians fhall bee a hunting or when they have any certaine knowledge of the Indian's aboad in thofe places. And if there fhall be caufe that the commander in perfon can not attend thefe fervices, then in fuch cafes, and in his abfence hee is to appoint his deputie. It was the opinion of the whole bodie of the affembly that we fhould go three feverall marches upon the Indians, at three feverall times of the yeare, viz. firft in November, fecondly in March, thirdly in July. To effedl this the coUony and inhabitants are to bee divided into fower divifions. The plantations of the upper parts as farr downewards as Weanoacke Marfh, and fflowerdieu hundred creek on both fides the river to cleare thofe parts and territoryes, and to doe all manner of fpoile and offence to the Indians that may poffibly bee effedled. The fecond divifion to extend from fflowerdieu hundred creeke and Weanoacke Marfh, as farr downewards as the creeke belowe Hogg Ifland, and to include the whole corporation of James Cittie and Martin's Hundred, and the plantations of Mulbury Ifland under the command of capt. Smyth. The third divifion to be the plantation of Warofquoyacke, and thofe inhabitants to cleare the grounds and lands betweene Hogg Ifland creeke and Nanfamunge river. There remaine for a fourth divifion Elizabeth Cittie, Warwicke River, Nuttmegg Quarter, Accaumiacke, the plantation at Kiskyacke and the places adioyning; to goe twife (53) twife uppon the Indians in Pamimky river, viz. once before the froft of Chriftmas, & the other in June, July or Augujt, as alfoe uppon thofe lands, between Nanjamunge river and the river of Chefepeyacke. And it is concluded that the plantations of Accawmacke fhall affift them againft the Pamunky Indians in the fummer time with every fift man out of the inhabitants. Il was putt to the queftion whether all new comers fhall bee reftrained from planting tobacco the firft yeare and they to bee exempted from all taxes, and marches for that yeare. The maior part would have no reftraint made to new comers. It was put to the quejtion whether for this yeare there fhould be an ordinance made and eftablifhed for the ftinting of the planting of tobacco. To this the opinion of the moft voices was, that noe perfons workeing the ground, which are all to be thithable, fhould plant above 3000 plants uppon an head. An exception is made where the familie confifteth of children and woemen which doe not worke in the ground, and they to plant not above 1000 plants per pol. In cafe any family fhall be aggrieved by this order confifting of fome nomber of woemen and children. It is thought fitt that in fpeciall cafes the Governor and Councell to order them a further proportion. Thefe charges following were allowed by the General Affembly, viz: Imprimis.

To defray all the charges above faid the whole Affembly concluded that there fhould be five pounds of tobacco per pol levyed through the colony. It is further concluded and ordered that every mafter of a family, and every freeman that is to pay five pounds of tobacco per pol as aforefaid for the defraying of publique charges, fhall bring the fame unto the Houfes of the Burgeffes of the plantations with- in two dayes after notice thereof given unto them. And if any fhall faile to bring in the fame, it is thought fitt that by virtue of this order the faid Burgeffes fhall have power to levy the fame by diftreffe, upon the goods of the delinquents, and to make fale of the faid goods, and to detaine fuch tobacco which fhall be due by this order, and for their fees in making this diftreffe, reftoring to the owner of the faid goods the refidue and re- mainder. And if the Burgeffes fhall make negledle herein they fhall be fined by the Governor and Councell. The Burgeffes doe undertake to provide caske to putt upp the fame and if any damadge fhall befall unto the tobacco, it fhall not light uppon the Burgeffes, unleffe they fhall be faulty therein. All (54) All the Burgeffes are with all convenient fpeed to fend to the Governor a lift of the tithable perfons within their plantations, that thereby the Governor may appoint thofe that are the creditors for this tobacco to receive it and that he take order to have an account kept of the fame. At this time the matter of ffortification was taken into confideration and there was longe debate had concerning the place where the fforte fhould be eredted. Efpecially Point Comfort was fpoken of and was thought the moft convenient place, but the great and many difficultyes therein, and the want of meanes and materials for effedling thereof doe almoft make it impoffible for our weake abilityes to bring to perfedlion: therefore [the lines of the original not legible.] both the affiftance of their perfons and eftates to accomplifh fo good a worke as to raife fortifications which will be both a fafetie and reputation unto this colony. It is ordered that there bee an efpeciall care taken by all commanders and others that the people doe repaire to their churches on the Saboth day, and to fee that the penalty of one pound of tobacco for every time of abfence and 50 pounds for every months abfence fett downe in the a(5l of the General Alfembly 1623, be levyed and the delinquents to pay the fame, as alfoe to fee that the Saboth day be not ordinarily pro- faned by workeing in any imployments or by ioumyeing from place to place. It is thought fitt that all thofe that worke in the ground of what qualitie or condition foever, fhall pay tithes to the minifters.

And that wee fhould fignifie unto His Ma'^ what quantityes wee would yearely fend home, and to fett an exadt price thereuppon. / Firjt in obedyence of W*" comaunds wee the Burgeffes of this Grand Affembly doe upon the Bended knees of our harts proftrate ourfelves at the feete of his moft facred (58) facred Ma'>' humbly intreatinge his highnes to bee pleafed to admitt us the free benefitt and ufe of our comodity and to add unto us the continuance of his Princely affiftance in conforminge all his Ma" people upon Plantacons plantinge tobaccoe, to confyne them- felves to the juft proporcon of one thoufand five hundred plants per poll yearely prohib- itinge all ratoones and fecond cropps. Onely for this prefente yeare in regard wee ftand doubtfull of the conformity of other plantacons W'' will much prejudice the advaunce of the price of our comodity together w"" refpedle unto our ingagem" and taxes. Wee humbly intreate yt may bee lawfull for us to have the full ufe and benefitt of plantinge Tobaccoe not negledlinge the plantinge ftore of come, the propagating gardens and orchards, and the breedinge of cattle Hogges and powltry. And that noe tobaccoe may paffe But fuch as fhall be found good and merchantable Wee defire that twoe men or more may bee appoynted and fwome in every parifh to veiwe the tobaccoe of each cropp and what they fhall find good to bee fealed w"' the feale appoynted for meafuringe Bar- rells, and all other tobaccoe to bee Bumte. 2 Secondly w"" the like fubmiffion unto his Sacred Ma'y wee anfwere that wee con- ceave yt would much tend to the advance of the comodity of tobaccoe that a certen rate of 1 2 "^ ^ "> for fome fewe yeares may bee fet upon all the tobaccoes of this Colony and all other His Ma'^ plantacons and that a penalty may bee impofed upon the planters not to parte w*"" yt at anie under rate, and that noe tobaccoe of this Colony Bee putt a Board anie Shipp or anie parcell of anie planters cropp Bee payed or receaved Before the firft day of February yearely Before w^"" tyme wee conceave that all tobaccoes will have en- dured the hazard of f poyleinge whereby the glutt and vaft quantityes of our tobaccoes will bee much leffened, and His Ma'= dutyes and cuftomes much advaunced, when as noe pretence can bee made for the garblinge of tobaccoe in England.

I. Firft wee humbly intreate your Wofps to conceave that wee cannot refolve what quantityes of o" tobaccoe will bee yearely made in the Collony in refpedt of the uncerten nomber of people yearely comeinge and the mortallity of people here farre greater fome yeares then others. Soe that wee are not at anie tyme certen of the nomber of our Inhabitants. And whereas wee defire by our anfwere the free benefitt & ufe of our coihodity the reafon induceinge thus there unto is, that thereby people may bee incouraged to come out of England to plant and inhabite here, whereby the Collony will bee the better ftrengthened and fecured from anie trecherous pradtifes of the Natives contrary to w^ the reftraynte of our liberty of plantinge will not onely difharten all men from comeinge hither except fuch as are inforced through wante & poverty But allfoe will caufe many of the Inhabitants here to leave this Colony, and purchafe the free ufe of theire labour in other plantacons foe that the Colony would bee thereby much weakned and in fhorte tyme, in regard of our yearely mortaUity wee fhould bee difabled to defend ourfelves, Cattle and Plantacons from the tyranny of the Indyans. Further the limitacon of a certen nomber of plants ^ poll hath allready caufed diverfe of the Inhabitants to forfake their Plantacons and to neglefte the fencinge of grounds, the plantinge of corne, orchards and gardens, the makeinge inclofures, and pafture for cattle and other ufes, Beinge neceffitated for theire prefente releefe and fubfiftance to remove and plant upon fuch grounds as would yeald moft Tobaccoe upon a (6o) a Plante allthough they have fuffered all other inconveniences thereby and fuch as are not able to remove from theire ould and over worne grounds are kepte by the limitacon of a certen nomber of plants ^ poll in perpetuall poverty and ingagem', in regard theire labour upon foe manie plants will not produce half foe much tobaccoe as others. And further in that wee have defired that there mi.i^ht bee conformity in all his Ma'" planta- cons for the quantity of plantinge, Wee conceave that the vaft and exceffive quantityes of tobaccoe w^"" are yearely made in the Cariba Iflands beinge generally twice as much ^ poll at the leaft as wee w"" the uttermoft of our indeavors can make, hath beene the onely meanes to beate downe the price of all tobaccoes, foe that w"'out a conformity of plantinge in all his Ma'^ plantacons there is very little hopes eyther by the leffeninge or betteringe our quantitye in this Colony to advaunce the price. 2. Secondly, Wee humbly intreate Your Wofps to confider howe prejudicyall y' will bee to the Settlem' of this Colony for us to propound a fome or ftock of monie to bee yearely provided to take of our tobaccoes at a certen price, for wee conceave that the free ufe and benefitt of the trade of our comodity will much encourage perfons of quality to adventure themfelves and theire Eftates hither when they fhall have free correfpondence w"" theire freinds and other adventurers in England to bee furnifhed w"' yearely fupplyes, and to make the beft proflfitt in the fale of theire tobaccoes, and animate the moft induftrious men in this Colony whoe have partely freed themfelves from the greedy exaccons of the Merchants here by exportinge of theire tobaccoes yearely for England to bee fould, for theire beft advantage and retoitmed in neceffary coriiodityes and fyndeinge themfelves in foe good courfe have hitherto refolved to fettle theire Eftates here for pofterit}', and are thereby enabled in theire refolucons to eredl good buildinges, plantinge & propagatinge gardens and orchards, fenceinge and Inclos- ures for Cattle W^"* are the onely motives caufeinge every man to accompte that place to bee his fetled habitacon where hee hath foe voluntarily fpente his indeavours. W'^'' on the contrary if wee fhall bee denyed the free comerce of our owne comodity, moft men of ability and induftry will converte theire whole Eftates into tobaccoe & fo refolve to leave and forfake the Colony and take the oportunity of a prefent price for feare of future alteracon therein, whofe examples y' is to bee doubted, that all men that can will followe, for proofe where of wee can inftance divers in this Colony whoe fearinge the abridgm' of theire former libertyes begin to repent theire feverall difburfements fome in good buildinge and others in purchafeinge plantacons and buyeinge of Cattle. Where- fore yt is much to be feared that unles His Ma'> will be pleafed to continue us in our free indeavours the future hopes of this Colony will bee utterly fubverted. J. Thirdly wee humbly intreate yo' wofps to confider howe inconvenient and pre- judiciall yt will bee to build warehowfes and to bringe our Tobaccoe to them, the reafons wee have in parte fett downe in our anfweres already prefented And further the greateft parte of the Inhabitants are in wante of Boates and not able to procure them foe that they muft bee forced to imparte w"> a greate parte of theire croppes for the tranfpor- tacon of the reft unto a ftore and when all the Tobaccoes of a County fhall bee brought into one ftore the cafualty of fyreinge the fame w^ may bee accidentally done eyther by the Indyans or other wife befids other danger of fpoyleinge will caufe diverfe perfons to bee in continuall feare of utter undoeinge haveinge no other meanes for the releefe & cloathinge of themfelves, theire wives, children and familyes, then their prefent cropp. All w^"" hazard will bee prevented by every man's keeping his owne comodity and deliv- eringe yt from his houfe. 4. Wee humbly entreate Your Worfps to confider howe unpoffible yt is for us to give a generall accompte of the prefent engagm" of every perticular man and the tyme when the debts were made and what thereof is unpayed, when wee conceave that the third parte of the Countreys debts at the leaft M'ere made by perfons deceafed and nowe remayne to be payed by theire Executors or Adminiftrators whoe can give no other informacon (6i) informacon of them then that they are foe much indebted but for what confideration the faid debts were made they are alltogether ignorant.

TO all chriftian people to whom thefe prefents fhall come to be read, heard or underftood, We the Governor, Council and Burgeffes of the Grand Affembly in Virginia fend greeting in our Lord God Everlafting: Whereas George Sanctis, Efq. being appointed agent for the colony by an Affembly 1639 hath exhibited a petition in the name of the adventurers and planters in Virginia to the Hon- ourable Houfe of Commons in Parliament in England for the reftoring of the letters pat- ents of incorporation to the late Treafurer and Company — miftaking his advice and inftrudlions from the faid Affembly; for his fo doing it being neither the meaning nor intent of the faid Affembly or inhabitants here for to give way for the introducing of the faid company or any other. To which intent and purpofe this Grand Affembly having fully debated and ma- turely confidered the reafons on both fides as well arguing for as againft a company and looking back into the condition of the times under the company as alfo upon the prefent ftate of the colony under his majefties government they find the late company in their government intollerable the prefent comparatively happy and that the old corporation cannot with any poffibility be again introduced without abfolute ruin and diffolution to the colony for thefe reafons following, vizi. ijt. The intollerable calamity of the colony we find proved by many illegal pro- ceedings and barbarous torments infli(5led upon divers of his majefties fubjedls in the time of the faid companies government all which appear per depofitions taken at a Grand Affembly anno 1632 and is known to divers now living in the colony. Alfo we find the whole trade of the colony to the general grievance and complaint of the inhabitants then and now appearing to us monopolized by the faid company info- much that upon the going home of any perfon for his country it was not free for him to carry with him the fruits of his labour for his own comfort and relief but was forced to bring it to the magazine of the company and there to exchange it for ufelefs and unprofit- able wares. 2dly. The prefent happinef s is exemplified to us by the freedom of yearly affemblies warranted unto us by his majefties gracious inftrudlions and the legal trial per juries in all criminal and civil caufes where it fhall be demanded. And above all by his majefties royal incovu-agement tmto us upon all occafions to addrefs ourfelves unto him by our humble petitions which doth fo much dif tinguifh our happinefs from that of the former times that private letters to friends were rarely admitted paffage. To the third for introducing the old corporation without ruin and diffolution to the colony at prefent as a thing not poffible we conceive we have thefe jixft grounds. ift. There can be no right or property introduced for them without proving the illegality of the King's proceedings fo that all grants fince upon fuch a foundation muft of confequence be * * * and tending to difpleafure, we the prefent planters enjoy our lands by immediate grant from his majefty if (as it is argued in their petition) the King had no power to grant our poffeffions muft give place to their claim which is one in- vincible argument (as we conceive) of the ruin and diffolution to the colony at prefent; when if their pretences take place we muft be outed of all. And whereas it is alledged that the charter of orders from the Treafurer and Company anno 16 18, gives us claim and right (67) right to be members of the corporation quatenus planters we find the company by the faid charter where members planters and adventurers are confidered by themfelves and diftinguifhed in privileges from planters and adventurers not being members and we further find ourfelves (being the King's grantees) in the faid charter condemned, the claufe plainly pronouncing in thefe words (we do ordaine that all fuch perfons as of their own voluntary will and authority fhall remove into Virginia without any grant from us in a great and general quarter court in writing under our feals fhall be deemed, as they are, occupiers of our land that is to fay of the common land of us the faid Treafurer and Company) much more fuch grantees as have their right from an erronious judgment as they pretend. 2dly. That if the Company be renewed by which means they as aforefaid have leave and the ftrength of their own charter of orders publicly in this colony to dif plant us the wifer world we hope will excufe us if we be wary to depart with what (next our lives) neareft concerns us (which are our eftates being the livelihood of ourfelves, wives and children) to the curtefy and will of fuch taskmafters from whom we have already experi- mented fo much oppreffion. 3dly. We may not admit of fo unnatural a diftance as a company will interpofe be- tween his facred majefty and us his fubjedls from whofe immediate protedlion we have re- ceived fo many royal favours and gracious bleffings For by fuch admiffion ijt. We fhall degenerate from the condition of our birth being naturalized under a monarchical government and not a popular and tumultuary government depending upon greateft number of votes of perfons of feveral humours and difpofitions as this of a com- pany muft be granted to be from whofe general quarter courts all laws binding the planters here did and would again iffue. 2dly. We cannot without breach of natural duty and religion give up and refign the lands which we had granted and hold from the king upon certain annual rents (fitter as we himibly conceive if his majefty fhall fo pleafe^for a branch of his own royal ftem then for a company) to the claim of a corporation; for befides our births our poffeffions enjoin us as a fealty without a/alvafide aliis dominis. We conceive by admiffion to a company the freedom of our trade (which is the blood and life of a commonwealth) is impeached; for they who with moft fecret refervation and moft fubtility argue for a company tho' they pretend to fubmit the government to the King yet they referve to the corporation propriety to the land and power of manag- ing the trade, which word managing in any fence taken we can no ways interpret, then a convertable to monopolizing; for whether in this fence that all the commodities raifed in the colony fhall be parted with, exchanged or vended at fuch rates and prifes as they fet down or fuch wares and merchandize as they fhall import or be difpofed into their magazine or fuch bottoms as fhall from time to time be licenfed or ordered by them, or whether in this fence that the planters [obtain ?] only fuch comodities and in fuch pro- portions as by advice and determination of their quarter courts fhall be direfted, ftill the terms and condition of the planters are fubjedled to a monopoly that is to their fole guidance governing and managing with what reafon we leave to the world to judge ; for tho' we fubmit in depth of judgment and imderf tanding to fuch as fhall fit at the helm there, yet it is very poffible and indeed moft probable that at this diftance wife men may miftake and there is more likelyhood that fuch as are acquainted with the clime and the accidents thereof may upon better grounds prefcribe our advantages both for quantity and quality of commodities which by the bounty of his majefty we now enjoy by our Grand Affembly and in any other way will be deftru(5live unto us accord- ing to our poffeffion. Though (68) Though we may admit the pretence that the government fhall be made good to the King that is that the King fhall nominate and appoint the Governor. Firft we find it direcftly (befides the feope of the part which infifts upon the reftoring of the company in all formalities next we take it at beft but for a falicie and trap not of capacity enough to catch men with eyes and forefight for upon a fuppofition that a governor fhall be named and appointed by his majefty yet his dependance (fo far forth as continuing or difplacing) will by reafon of their power and intereft in great men there reft in them which neceffar- ily brings with it conformity to their wills in whatfoever fhall be commanded, which how pernicious it will be to the colony according to our affertion in this head we leave to the ableft judgments. We the Governor, Council and Burgeffes of this prefent Grand Affembly having taken into ferious confideration thefe and many other dangerous effedts which muft be concometant in and from a company or corporation have thought fat to declare and here- by do declare from ourfelves and all the commonalty of this colony that it was never de- fired, fought after or endeavoured to be fought for either diredlly or indiredtly by the confent of any Grand Affembly or the common confent of the people.

And we do further enadt and be it hereby enabled and manifefted per authority afore- faid that what perfon or perfons foever either is or hereafter fhall be any planter or ad- venturer fhall go about by any way or means either diredlly or indiredtly to fue for advice, affift, abet countenance or contrive the reducing of this colony to a company or corpora- tion or to introduce a contradt or monopoly upon our perfons, lands or commodities upon due proof or convidtion of any of the premifes, (to wit) by going about by any way or means to fue for, advife, affift, abet, countenance or contrive the reducing of this colony to a company or corporation, or to introduce a contradt or monopoly as aforefaid, upon the due convidtion as aforefaid fhall be held and deemed an enemy to the colony and fhall forfeit his or their whole eftate or eftates that fhall be found within the limits of the colony the one half fhall be and come to public ufes the other moiety or half to the informer. This adt to be in force and the penalty therein contained to extend to all the adventurers and planters now refiding in the colony upon the publication at James City and to all adventurers and planters now in England or elfewhere out of the limits the colony within five days after the arrival of this our faid declaration, proteftation and adt within the kingdom of England, figned under our hands and fealed with our feal of the colony at James City the firft day of April in the year of our Lord 1642 and in the eighteenth year of the reign of our foverain Lord Charles over England, &c.

[From the Virginia Magazine of Hiftory and Biography, I, 75 ff.] [Speech of Sir ff^m. Berkeley, and Dec- laration of the Affembly, March 1651 (1650/51)} ^"^ENTLEMEN you perceave by the Declaration that the men of Weftminjter m -»- have fet out, which I beleeve you have all feene, how they meane to deale with ^>-«^ you hereafter, who in the time of their wooing and courting you propound fuch hard Conditions to be performed on your parts, & on their owne nothing but a benigne acceptance of your duties to them. Indeed me thinks they might have propofed fomething to us which might have ftrengthned us to beare thofe heavy chaines they are making ready for us, though it were but an affurance that we fhall eat the bread for which our owne Oxen plow, and with our owne fweat we reape; but this affurance (it feemes) were a franchife beyond the Condition they have refolu'd on the Queftion we ought to be in : For the reafon why they talke fo Magifterially to us in this, we are forfooth their worfhips flaves, bought with their money and by confequence ought not to buy, or fell but with thofe they fhall Authorize with a few trifles to Cofzen us of all for which we toile and labour. If the whole Current of their reafoning were not as ridiculous, as their a(5lions have been Tyrannicall and bloudy; we might wonder with what browes they could fuftaine fuch impertinent affertions : For if you looke into it, the ftrength of their argument runs onely thus : we have laid violent hands on your Land-Lord, poffefs'd his Manner houfe where you ufed to pay your rents, therfore now tender your refpedls to the fame houfe you once reverenced : I call my confcience to witnes, I lie not, I cannot in all their Dec- laration perceave a ftronger argument for what they would impofe on us, then this which I have now told you : They talke indeed of money laid out on this Country in its infancy : I will not fay how little, nor how Centuply repaid, but will onely aske, was it theirs? They who in the beginning of this warr were fo poore, & indigent, that the wealth and rapines of three Kingdomes & their Churches too, cannot yet make rich, but are faine to feeke out new Territories and impofitions to fuftaine their Luxury amongft them- felves. Surely Gentlemen we are more flaves by nature, then their power can make us if we fuffer our f elves to be fhaken with thefe paper bulletts, & thofe on my life are the heavieft they either can or will fend us. 'Tis true with us they have long threatned the Barbados, yet not a fhip goes thither but to beg trade, nor will they do to us, if we dare Honourably refift their Imperious Ordinance. Affuredly Gentlemen you have heard under what heavy burthens, the afHidled Englijh Nation now groanes, and calls to heaven for relief: how new and for- merly unheard of impofitions make the wifes pray for barrenefs and their hufbands deaf- nes to exclude the cryes of their fuccourles, ftarving children: And I am confident you do believe, none would long endure this flavery, if the fword at their throats Did not Compell them to Languifh under the mifery they howrely fuffer. Looke on their fuffer- ings with the eyes of underftanding, and that will prevent all your teares but thofe of Compaffion. Confider with what prifons and Axes they have paid thofe that have ferved them to the hazard of their foules : Confider your f elves how happy you are and have been, how the Gates of wealth and Honour are fhut on no man, and that there is not here an Arbitrary hand that dares to touch the fubftance of either poore or rich : But that which I woud have you chiefly confider with thankfullnes is : That God hath feperated you from the guilt of the crying bloud of our Pious Souveraigne of ever bleffed memory : But (76) But miftake not Gentlemen part of it will yet ftaine your garments if you willingly fub- mit to thofe murtherers hands that fhed it : I tremble to thinke how the oathes they will impofe will make thofe guilty of it, that have long abhor'd the traiteroufneffe of the a(5l: But I confeffe having had fo frequent teftimonies of your truths and courages, I cannot have a reafonable fufpition of any cowardly falling of from the former refo- lutions, and have onely mentioned this laft, as a part of my duty and care of you, not of my reall doubts and fears : or if with untryed men we were to argue on this fubjedl, what is it can be hoped for in a change, which we have not allready? Is it liberty? The fun looks not on a people more free then we are from all oppreffion. Is it wealth? Hundreds of examples fhew us that Induftry & Thrift in a fhort time may bring us to as high a degree of it, as the Country and our Conditions are yet capable of: Is it fe- curety to enjoy this wealth when gotten? With out blufhing I will fpeake it, I am confi- dent theare lives not that perfon can accufe me of attempting the leaft adl againft any mans property? Is it peace? The Indians, God be bleffed round about us are fubdued; we can onely feare the Londoners, who would faine bring us to the fame poverty, where- in the Dutch found and relieved us ; would take away the liberty of our confciences, and tongues, and our right of giving and felling our goods to whom we pleafe. But Gentlemen by the Grace of God we will not fo tamely part with our King, and all thefe bleffmgs we enjoy under him; and if they oppofe us, do but follow me, I will either lead you to vidtory, or loofe a life which I cannot more glorioufly facrifice then for my loyalty, and your fecurity. Vera Copia John Corker Cler: Dom: Commons. This fpeech being ended the pretended Aft of Parliament was publiquely read in the Affembly where upon (at the motion of the Houfe of Commons to the Govemour and Councell) this following vindication was unanimoufly agreed on. We The Govemour Coimcell and Burgeffes of Virginea, have feene a printed paper bearing date at London the 3. of Odoh. 1651. wherein (with other Plantations of America) we are prohibited trade and Commerce with all but fuch as the prefent power fhall allow of : We likewif e fee our felves branded in it with the ignominious names of Rebells and Traitors, which we fo much abhor, that we would deteft our felves if we thought they were defervedly impofed on us: And fhall take leave to thinke we are unworthily flandered, till ftronger proofes then we yet find, are brought againft us to convince our judgements and Confciences that we are guilty of thofe Horrid Crimes. Therfore though we profeffe that our judgments and induftry, have been long folely and neceffarily im- ployed in providing againft the neceffities of our poore families, and by Confequence fhould not prefume that any A(5l or Tranfaftion of ours could be worthy the publique view : Yet fmce the plaineft vindication of innocencie is accepted, we fhall intimate the reafons of ours, imploring charitable and abler judgments to perfedl what we fhall hint to them in our anfweares, to the Afperfions we find Authorifed againft us. And Firjt whereas they fay. That the Plantations in America were feated at the Coft and eftablifhed by the Authority of fome in England, and therfore ought to be governed by the Lawes of England. We conceave we may fafely confeffe all this, and yet not run the Hazard of any mifprifion of guilt, nay we thinke, this only teftimony of theirs were fufificient to cleere us from the Afperfions of Rebells, and Traitors, if we had no other markes of inno- cency left us : For we fay, we were fome of us fent, others permitted to come hither by the gratious favour of our Pious Kings, fwome to goveme, and be governed (as farr as poffible the place was Capable of) by the Lawes of England; which lawes we have invio- lably and facredly kept as farr as our abilityes to execute and our Capacityes to judge would permit us, and with reafon; for thefe lawes onely in fuch times of tumults, ftormes, and tempefts, can humanely prevent our mines: Thefe lawes often enjoyned us the Oathes {77) Oathes of Allegiance and Supremacy, and they tell us, that no power on earth can ab- folve or manumit us from our obedience to our Prince, and his lawfull fucceffors : Thefe lawes tell us that when we have don all we can to avoyd it, we may refift violence with force, and in a lawfull defence of our felves, deftroy any that fhall endeavour to take away our lives or fubftance : Thefe lawes we profeffe are our guides and do beleeve we deferve punifhment and infamy if we willingly, or willfully deviate from them. Secondly fuppofe we were fuch (laves by nature as to be awed with the iron rods held over us, in what hand foever found; would not then themfelves thinke we deferved the worft ufage could be inflidled on us. For what affurance could we give of our new Loyalty, after having fo childifhly, and impioully, relinquifht our old Allegance? Could we reafonably repine to pay with our owne fweat and bloud, thofe Garrifons which muft be kept among us, to fix fuch volatile obedience as ours would appeare to be? For as the Queftion is ftated to us, we ought to yield to whofoever poffeffe themfelves of Wejt- minjter Hall : Where we experimentally have found, the heads of divers fadlions and pre- tentions, have prefided and excluded one the other; and we have no Oraculous affurance, but it may be fo againe; therfore in a Condition fo dubious and uncertaine, as ours would be (wherein no leffe then our foules are concem'd) we defire them to permit us fimple men to take leave to follow the perfpicuous and plaine pathes of God and our lawes, & that they would be pleas'd to remember that good charitable Axiome in them, That none fliould be condemned till they were firft Heard. Thirdly we are told of Great fummes of money laid out on this Country : For all we have receav'd we are moft thankfull : But furely it will be no evidence of ingratitude to fay to whom we owe moft, & this muft needes be acknowledg'd to our Kings, who gave liberally themfelves and permitted Lotteries to be eredled for us : We confeffe private ad- venturers added much, and might have enjoyed the fruit of it. If the firft blow to the Colony, had not taken from them all hopes or defires of profecuting that, which they fo earneftly begun; But certainly what ever their liberallity was, we fhould have avoided it more then our Rattle fnakes, if it had inevitably made (laves, our felves, our wives, children, and Pofterity. Since the Maffacre onely private Marchants have adventured hither for private gaines, and we confeffe have fupplied us with that, which we could not well have wanted, but this we fuppofe would be no convincing argument to France, Spaine, or the Low Countries, for their fubjedlion to England becaufe thefe feverall places have been thus furnifh't by her. If then we owe any thing, it is to our Kings liberallity, care, and protedlion, and we befeech you give us leave to pay our acknowl- edgement to them. Fourthly we are told of ufurping a Government to our felves. We wifh we could tranfmit our recordes to the view of our accufers; By them it would appeare how little we deferve this imputation. For fince the beginning of the Colony we have never innovated nor altred any thing in the maine of the Government : But in cafe we had done it, what more likely Patrons could we chuf e, to protect us then thofe who accufe us ? Grant we had banifh'd, confin'd, imprifon'd, condemn'd, and executed thofe that refufe to obey the lawes confirm 'd by many confummated free Parliaments: would not thofe pardon and abfolve us who have done the fame to others that have refufed to obey their edidls, whom they in their confciences beleeve they ought not to acknowledge to be a Parliament? Yet the truth is, we have done none of thefe things, no man here ever f ufTer'd in his perfon or eftate : Concerning the differences in England, our lawes keepe them in better awe then to dare to fpeak againft the Protedtor of them : 'Tis true indeed Two Fadlious clergy men, chofe rather to leave the Country then to take the Oathes of Allegeance, and Supremacy, and we acknowledge that we gladly parted with them. Having anfweared thefe accufations, we appeale even to their owne judgments that produced them whether we deferve thofe hatefuU names of Rebells and Traitors: But we believe they will ftill ufe them to us and others becaufe thofe Lucky Bugbeares of Rebells, and Malignants, have frighted divers to the defertion of honeft caufes : Yet being (78) being (as we fuppofe in their owne confciences) free from thefe imputed crimes (though very fhort fighted in fuch fubtile matters) we thinke we can eafely find out the caufe of this excludmg us the fociety of Nations, which bring us neceffaries for what our Country produces: And that is the Avarice of a few interefted perfons. who endeavour to rob us of all we fweat and labour for: Therfore on the whole matter we Conclude : We are re- folv'd to Continue our Allegeance to our mof t Gratious King, yet as long as his gratious favour permits us, we will peaceably (as formeriy) trade with the Londoners, and all other Nations in amity with our Soveraigne: Protedt all forraigne Merchants with our utmofe force from injury in the rivers: Give letters of Reprifall to any injured within our Capes: AUwaies pray for the happy reftauration of our King, and repentance in them, who to the hazard of their foules have oppofed him.
