  Nevv Englands trials Declaring the successe of 26. ships employed thither within these sixe yeares: with the benefit of that countrey by sea and land: and how to build threescore sayle of good ships, to make a little navie royall. Written by Captaine Iohn Smith.

summary:
  Now seeing all these sorts of fish , or the most part of them , may be had in a land more fertile , temperate , and plentifull of all necessaries for the building of ships , boates and houses ; and the nourishment of man : the seasons are so proper , and the fishings so neare the habitations wee may there make , that New England hath much aduantage of the most of those parts , to serue all Europe farre cheaper then they can , who at home haue neither wood , salt , nor food , but at great rates ; at Sea , nothing but what they carry in their shippes , an hundred or two hundred leagues from their habitation . The Londoners , ere I returned from France , for all their losse by the Turkes , which was valewed about foure thousand pounds , sent two more in Iuly : but such courses they tooke by the Canaries to the west Indies ; it was ten months ere they arriued in New England : wasting in that time , their seasons , victuall , and healths ; yet there they found meanes to refresh themselues , and the one returned , neere fraught with fish and traine , within two moneths after .

summary:
  Is it so that God seeth a proannes in all the sonnes of Adam , to seeke themselues too much , and hath giuen them warnings and watch words thereof , as we haue heard , and doth experience confirme it ? Then hence are reproued a number of men , who thinke they can neuer shew loue enough to themselues , nor seeke their own enough , but thinke all cost , charges , cheerishing , prayse , honour , &c. too little for them , and no man needeth say to them , as Peter did to Christ , fauour thy selfe , but if they doe a little for another man , they account it a great matter , though it be but a morsell of bread , or a single penny ; but no varieties of dainties is too good for them , no silke , purple , cloth , or stuffe is too good to cloth them , the poore mans idlenesse and ill husbandry is oft throwne in his dish , but their owne carnall delights and fleshly wantonnesse is neuer thought vpon : and why ? Againe , see whether thine heart cannot be as merry , and thy mind as ioyfull , and thy countenance as cheerefull , with course fare , with poulse , with bread and water ( if God offer thee no better , nor the times afford other ) as if thou hadst great dainties : So also whether thou canst be content as well with the scornes of men , when thou hast done well , as with their prayses , so if thou canst with comfort and good conscience say , I passe little for mans iudgement , whether thou canst doe thy duety that God requireth , and despise the shame , referring thy selfe vnto God , for if thou be dishartned , discouraged , and weakened in any duety because of mens disprayses , it s a signe thou louest thy selfe too much .

  A short story of the rise, reign, and ruin of the Antinomians, Familists, and libertines that infected the churches of New-England and how they were confuted by the assembly of ministers there as also of the magistrates proceedings in court against them : together with God's strange remarkable judgements from heaven upon some of the chief fomenters of these opinions : and the lamentable death of Mrs. Hutchison : very fit for these times, here being the same errors amongst us, and acted by the same spirit : published at the instant request of sundry, by one that was an eye and ear-witness of the carriage of matters there.

summary:
  When Mr. Wheelwright appeared , it was declared to him , that whereas he was long since convicted of sedition and contempt of Authority , and time had been given him from Court to Court , to come to the knowledge of his offence , the Court thought it now time to know how his mind stood , whether he would acknowledge his Offence , or abide the Sentence of the Court ? His Answer was to this effect , That he had committed no Sedition nor Contempt , he had delivered nothing but the truth of Christ , and for the application of his Doctrine , it was by others , and not by him , &c. Now , you might have heard one of them Preaching a most dangerous Sermon in a great Assembly ; when he divided the whole Country into two ranks , some ( that were of his opinion ) under a Covenant of Grace , and those were friends to Christ ; others under a Covenant of Works , whom they might know by this , if they evidence their good estate by their Sanctification : those were ( said he ) enemies to Christ , Herods , Pilates , Scribes and Pharisees , yea , Antichrists ; and advised all under a Covenant of Grace , to look upon them as such , and did , with great zeal , stimulate them to deal with them as they would with such : And withal alledging the Story of Moses that killed the Egyptian , barely left it so : I mention not this or any thing , in the least degree , to reflect upon this Man , or any other ; for God hath long since opened his eyes ( I hope )

Church order is necessarie we denie not ; but this order that a man should be a constant and set member of a particular societie by covenant , to make him a true member of the visible Church , or to give him title or interest to the publick order , this is not taught of God.
