THE DISCOURSE OF THE OLD COMPANY
1625]
taynely wee found his activenes in negotiatinge here, such, that in bringing about his owne ends, he could create here, instru- ments of o"selves agaynst our selves. Wee say not that he and other Spanish Ministers practised thus amongst us. These two only perticulers, wee crave leave to offer unto yo" Lops Judgemts. When S'r Samuell Argoll some six or seaven yeares since, was vehemently complayned agaynst by Padre Maestro and the Spanish secretarie then here for Piracie agaynst the Kinge of Spaines subjects in the West Indies he no sooner came home from Virginia, and appeared an opposite to the present Company, who questioned him for divers misdemean- ors and amongst others for this ; but the heate of the Spanish accusacon did presently cease. Our second observacon is this, yo' Lops cannot but remember, wth what extreame earnestnes the Count of Gondomar and afterwards Don Carlo di Coloma,1 inveighed agaynst Capt. Butler whilst he was in Summer Is- lands about the Spanish wrack. And so violent were they about it that the Lo: Stewart, now wth God, and the Lo: Chamberlaine, were entreated to come on purpose to the Sumer Islands company, about that business. And a comission was directed by the Lords of the Counsell, to examine the truth of the cause in the Sumer Islands. Wch Captain Butler having been forewarned by some friends of his left his Government before he had leave, and before the arrivall of the Comission : Having first there endeavoured to alienate the minds of the people from the forme of Government here. But he was no sooner come home, and delivered to his Matie The unmasking of Virginia before spoken of, but there was an end of Don Carlo Di Colomas prosecution. Wee have related the particulars; and make no application.
As for the late Comission,2 wch hath suceeded in the place of the Companies ; if wee might have seen the business seriously

2 On June 24, 1624, shortly after the decision of Chief-Justice Ley revoking the charter, the king appointed a commission of sixteen persons, among whom were Sir Thomas Smith and other opponents of Sandys and Southampton, to take charge temporarily of Virginia affairs; and on July 15, 1624, he enlarged this commission by forty more persons.

taken into the Grave cares and prosequuted wth the Noble paynes of those most honoble personages, whose names are inserted in the sayd Comission : wee should have hoped to have seene some good effect befitting their great and eminent worth. But whilst their more weighty affairs have hindered them the business hath bin principally carried only by those persons that were the chiefe opposers of the late Comp: ffor although there be named divers worthy Gentlemen, and Citizens like- wise, in the Comission: yet as wee understand, the most of them have forborne altogether to appeare at any meeting. Wherefore when either in o" wordes or thoughts, wee complayne of any proceedings of the late Comission wee alwayes except both all the persons of Honour and indifferency: and only intend those others, whose stomacks were so great, as they durst undertake the overthrowinge of the late Companie; and yet their harts so narrow, as they have not dared to ad- venture all of them during these Nyne moneths, so far as wee can learne, one five pounds to the advancemt or subsistance of the Plantation.
By the publique L'res of the Governour, delivered them in July last, they understood of the extreame want of Powder in the Colonie : and were often told from us of the great danger that might ensue thereby : Yet did they neglect the sending of any in the shipp or in the second : but about Christmas, and since in March they have sent a small quantitie, obteyned by his late Mats guifts (as wee heare) out of the Tower.
This did not the late Company: who upon notice of the massacre, did by the first ship send 42 Barrels of Powder; for halfe whereof the Officers having disturbed the money, are yet unsatisfied.
Whereas all the ffower shippes now sent, were prepared in the Comp"s tyme; these last Comissioners callinge in the Comissions graunted them by the late Company, made them take new as from themselves that so they might glory upon anothers foundacon. But whilst they thus hunted after windy ambition, hindringe the two first shipps from takinge a faire winde; they have bin the causes of all the lament-

able calamities and distresses, wch in so long voyages must needs befall them.
The principal scope of his late Mats comission to them, as wee understand was that they should finde a better forme of Governem for the Plantacions advancement; and therein is especially promised the conservacon of every mans right. In- tentions worthy the wisedome and Justice of so great a Prince. But as farr as wee can understand these comissioners have done nothing towards either of these ends: But quite contrary to the second.
By an unknown contract, wch themselves will not so much as declare much less are able to defend; they have sought to have amongst themselves, twice as much upon every mans goods, as they will leave to the Owner thereof. And although they say only three of them are Contractors yet wee cannot be- lieve it, having observed the ends of some of them for many years, to have constantly bin bent to the compassinge of some such advantage, as they have now by this bargayne gayned. It is constantly reported that they have liberally given that wch was not their owne, to those who have no right thereto; as namely the Colonies kine to S'r Samuell Argoll and Mr. Woodall sur- geon to S'r Thomas Smith. But this and all their other pro- ceedings are kept in great secrett : weh breeds suspicon that they have not bin good : else why doe they fly the Light? This is cleane contrary to the use of the late Company: who did all things in publique weh was a cause of as great satisffacon, as this of distaste.
And as in this, so in all other thinges do they proceed cleane contrary to all right in of understandinge. They publish their Intention of employinge S'r Samuell Argoll and Captaine Butler for Governours agayne in the Plantations agaynst whome the Colony hath professed open enmity. How they should make the Colony encrease by these means, wch will bring home most of them that are there allready wee cannot imagine.
Neither are S'r Thomas Smith nor Alderman Johnson fitt or likely men to reunite the late Companie, or to drawe them

onto any thing for the Plantations advancement, since as the whole world knowes the late Company have not only allwayes conceaved extreamly ill of them but in the yeare 1623 putt up publique accusations agaynst them, of very dangerous Con- sequence. As for the Colony yo" Lops have formerly heard their like opinions.
Nor cann the late Companie conceave Mr. Wrote a fitt In- strum to sett forward the business; whome they thought unworthy to bee of their Societie.
Nor that those who out of pretence for New Englands good, have truly wronged Virginia should now runne right way for the behalfe thereof. Nor in sum that those who have little or no interest in the Plantation should be so sencible of it as were fitt. In wch number wee accompte S'r Nathaniell Rich ; who to our knowledge hath not adventured any thinge for the good thereof but contrary wise hath been so perpetuall a hin- derer and disturber of the Action, that the body of the Com- pany, addressed a Peticon of Complainte, to the last Parlia- ment, cravinge justice against him, for his injurious and most unworthy practices.
Nor that they that meane not to adventure anythinge, will be able to persuade others to doe that weh themselves for- beare.
Nor that ever they will do the adventurers of the late Com- panie, right, in matters of their Estates, that have so violently endeavoured to do them wrong in their Honors Reputacons, having intended as themselves wright, a Reformacon and cor- rection of the Original court bookes of the late Companie then possessed by them, if they could have gott into their hands certayne copies of them weh Mr. Necholas Ferrar late Deputy at his owne charges caused to be transcribd.1 But before there severe order came to him he had delivered his copys to the Earle of Southampton : who sent the comissioners word, that

he would as soone part wth the evidences of his Land, as wth the said Copies, being the evidence of his honour in that Ser- vice : So by this meanes have the Original Court bookes yet escaped purging: And wth all duety wee humbly beseech yo" Lop® that they may hereafter be protected from it: And that howsoever yo' Lops shall please for the future to dispose of the Companie, that the records of their past Actions may not be corrupted and falsified.
As for their resolucions of orderinge the business, wee cannot say anythinge, because wee heare nothing, and we doubt they meane nothinge ffor all that wee heare tends only to nothing. They dislike the sending of nombers of men. They professe the reducinge of all trading to a Joynt stock or Magazine: wch courses in o' judgements tend directly to the subversion of the Plantation at least to the appropriatinge of it to themselves which to have bin the mayne end of some of them, the late Counsell and Companie for Virginia, have upon strong presump- con bin long agoe induced to believe: and therefore have now thought themselves bound to declare it, that yo" Lops in yo" Noble wisedomes may make such due prevencon as shall be fitt : Humbly beseechinge, that this perticular examinacon of their Actions and persons, may not be interpreted to proceed from private spleene, but only from a sincere desire of the Plantations advancement.
Wee doubt and feare, that we have wearied yor Lops wt the large relation of the proceedings of these men, wee meane the partie opposite to the late Companie and Colonie. Whereby as they have laid all kind of Disreputacion upon the Action, and made that in the estimacon of the world vilde and con- temptible, wch before was held worthy, beneficiall, and honour- able : so by their manifold and incessant practises, to wrong and oppress, to defame and disgrace, by unjust and unworthy aspirsions, and contumelies, (and that by word and writing over all the kingdome) the innocency of men zealous for the good of Virginia, for no other fault save only for their love of right and justice ; they have bredd a great disheartninge and discouragemt of many the most forward and most constant adventurers

whose industry also and labours bin of great use to the Planta- tion, All wch being wearied out wth their mallice and injuries and loath to spend more of their lives in so unthankfull a ser- vice, are humble suitors unto yo' LoPs, that they may be spared from all farther employment in this Action. And that if these men will now at length apply themselves seriously to the busi- nes of the Colonies both wth their paynes and purses, wch they have hitherto spared and undertake, (wch they owe to his Matie and the State) the repairinge those ruynes of the Plantation, whereof they have bin the chiefe cause and instruments: the Government thereof may, as it is, be continued in them, giv- ing fitt securitie for so great a debt and duty. For wee pro- test unto yo" LoPs upon our truth and fidelitie that if his Maty may be served, the Colony secured and cherished, justice duly administred, mens rights and states preserved, innocent men not oppressed, and malefactors not protected and re- warded: wee shall be so farr from envying the glory of their Governement, that extinguishinge for ever the memory of all their former inguries, wee will be ready to doe them all fitt ser- vice that they shall require.
