But there is no kingdome so fertile bath not some part barren:  and New England is great enough, to make many Kingdomes and Countries, were it all inhabited.  As you passe the Coast still Westward, Accominticus and Passataquack are two conuenient harbors for small barks; and a good Countrie, within their craggie cliffs.  Angoam is the next; This place might content a right curious iudgement:  but there are many sands at the entrance of the harbor:  and the worst is, it is inbayed too farre from the deepe Sea.  Heere are many rising hilles, and on their tops and descents many come fields, and delightfull groues.  On the East, is an Ile of two or three leagues in length; the one halfe, plaine morish grasse fit for pasture, with many faire high groues of mulberrie trees gardens:  and there is also Okes, Pines, and other woods to make this place an excellent habitation, beeing a good and safe harbor.

Naimkeek though it be more rockie ground (for Angoam is sandie) not much inferior; neither for the harbor, nor any thing I could perceiue, but the multitude of people.  From hence doth stretch into the sea the faire headland Tragabigzanda, fronted with three lies called the three Turks heads:  to the North of this, doth enter a great Bay, where wee founde some habitations and corne fields:  they report a great Riuer[2], and at least thirtie habitations, doo possesse this Countrie.  But because the French had got their Trade, I had no leasure to discouer it.

The Iles of Mattahunts are on the West side of this Bay, where are many Iles, and questionlesse good harbors:  and then the Countrie of the Massachusets, which is the Paradise of all those parts:  for, heere are many lies all planted with corne; groues, mulberries, saluage gardens, and good harbors:  the Coast is for the most part, high clayie sandie cliffs.  The Sea Coast as you passe, shewes you all along large corne fields, and great troupes of well proportioned people:  but the French hauing remained heere neere sixe weekes, left nothing, for vs to take occasion to examine the inhabitants relations, viz, if there be neer three thousand people vpon these Iles; and that the Riuer doth pearce many daies iourneies the intralles of that Countrey.  We found the people in those parts verie kinde; but in their furie no lesse valiant.  For, vpon a quarrell wee had with one of them, hee onely with three others crossed the harbor of Quonahassit to certaine rocks whereby wee must passe; and there let flie their arrowes for our shot, till we were out of danger.

Then come you to Accomack, an excellent good harbor, good land; and no want of any thing, but industrious people.  After much kindnesse, vpon a small occasion, wee fought also with fortie or fiftie of those:  though some were hurt, and some slaine; yet within an houre after they became friendes.  Cape Cod is the next presents it selfe; which is onely a headland of high hils of sand, ouergrowne with shrubbie pines, hurts, and such trash; but an excellent harbor for all weathers.  This Cape is made by the maine Sea on the one side, and a great Bay on the other in forme of a sickle:  on it doth inhabit the people of Pawmet:  and in the bottome of the Bay, the people of Chawum.
