To the Reader.
_Reader, doe not disdaine to reade this Relation: and looke not here
to haue a large Gate and no building within: a full-stuffed Tittle
with no matter in the Booke: But here reade the truth, and that
thou shalt find without any frothy bumbasting words, or any quaint
new-deuised additions, onely as it was written (not intended for the
Presse) by a reuerend Diuine now there liuing, who onely sent it to
some Friends here, which were desirous of his Relations; which is
an Epitomy of their proceedings in the Plantation. And for thy part
if thou meanest to be no Planter nor Venturer doe but lend thy good
Prayers for the furtherance of it. And so I rest a Well-Wisher to all
the good designes both of them which are gone, and of them that are
to goe._
