Summary
Thus Sir W. Raleigh, weried with so great an expence, and abused with the unfaithfulnes of the yniployed, after he had sent (as you maye see by these five severall tymes) collonies and supplies at his owne charges, and nowe at length both himself and his successors thus betrayed, he was even nowe content to submit the fortune of the poore men's lives, and lief of the holy accion ytself, into the favour and proteccion of the God of all mercy, whose will and pleasure he submitted unto to be fulfilled, as in all things ells, so in this one particuler. By which meanes, for seventeen or eighteen yeares togeather, yt lay neglected, untill yt pleased God at length to move againe the heart of a great and right noble earle amongst us,
“Candidus et talos a vertice pulcher ad imos,”
Henry Earle of Southampton, to take yt in consideration, and seriously advise how to recreat and dipp yt anew into spiritt and life; who therfore (yt being so the will of the Eternall Wisdome, and so let all Christian and charitable hearted believe in compassion to this people) begunn to make new enquiries and much scruteny after the country to ex-amyne the former proceedings, togither with the lawfulnes and pious end thereof, and then, having well weighed the greatnes and goodnes of the cause, he lardgley contributed to the furnishing out of a shipp to be comaunded by Capt.
