What shall I say? but thus we lost him [4 Oct. 1609] that, in all his proceedings, made Justice his
first guide, and Experience his second: ever hating baseness, sloth, pride, and indignity, more than any
dangers; that never allowed more for himself than his souldiers with him; that upon no danger, would
send them where he would not lead them himself; that would never see us want what he either had, or
could by any means get us; that would rather want than borrow, or starve than not pay; that loved
actions more than words, and hated falsehood and cozenage worse than death; whose adventures were our
lives, and whose loss, our deaths. RICHARD POTS, Clerk of the Council at James Town, Virginia.
W. PHETTIPLACE, Gentleman.
