providing themselves food, which they had difficulty enough to do
sometimes, they had no manner of business or property to manage. I
proposed, therefore, to the governor Spaniard that he should go to
them, with Friday's father, and propose to them to remove, and
either plant for themselves, or be taken into their several
families as servants to be maintained for their labour, but without
