    TO THE RIGHT HONORABLE AND Worthy aduenters to all discoueries and Plantations, espetially to New England. O the consideration of your fauourable [1620] constructions I present these sixe yeares continued trials from New England: if you please to peruse them, and make vse of them, I am richly rewarded. The subiect deserueth a farre better habit, but it is as good as the father can giue it.

Yours to command,
